FW: How to display Russian Cyrillic and Chinese in Cygwin Bash Console?
Is the third time a charm! I hope so. I forgot to turn off HTML again! I apologize if this query appears again. Since I saw no replies (and not even my own posting) after checking my spam filters, I assume it never got to the list (Maybe I forgot to turn of HML the first time too!) Is it possible to do this (display Russian Cyrillic and Chinese) at the cygwin console prompt? I hear it is not possible at CMD.EXE prompt. I'm not sure how the bash console is implemented in cygwin but if it is running CMD.EXE underneath and CMD.EXE cannot do it, the outlook is bleak! I was really suprised to learn that CMD.exe cannot do it and I question the accuracy of my source. I did some searching and experimenting and I cannnot figure out how to do it with the cygwin bash console. I have posted a similar query on the XFree list because I would like to do it both in xterm and the cygwin bash console (is there a better name for this since it could be running some other shell?)

I put a query on unix.com and they pointed me to http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl5_acl.htm . I don't understand this link: is it describing a bash command? At bash I type info acl and man acl but I cannot find any description of a bash command for adding an ACL to a file. Can I do this from cygwin bash? Thanks!

How did you configure? It looks like it's got confused over the --prefix
setting; that extra '/' then makes cygwin treat the path as a UNC network
path, so you're trying to install to a network share called 'local' on a
remote host named 'usr'!
I've seen this sort of thing happen before when I was messing around by

incomplete?
There seems to be a lot of information in man sshd and info sshd but I
could not find where it explains to start it up as a service. No wait: it
says it is normally started in /etc/rc but my cygwin installation has no
such directory. Don't I have to do something with cygrunsrv or some such
utility? Where is the documentation on ssh-host-config that Damian is using
below? I tried man and info with no luck.
Can cygwin ssh be used with the -X option to open an X session on a windows
server?
Can cygwin ssh be used with VNC to open a VNC session on a remote server? I

server (from red hat 8) and would like to do it securely with ssh.

I installed Cygwin on a Windows 2003 Server with OpenSSH 4.2p1-1.
After installing I ran ssh-host-config and chose privilege separation.
privilege separation - Yes
create local user sshd_server - Yes
install sshd as a service - Yes
CYGWIN= - ntsec
I synced the users and passwords with:
mkpasswd --local /etc/passwd
mkgroup --local /etc/group
I'm guessing this is your problem right here. Which user did you do this
as? If you did this as yourself, it could be that these files are only
readable by the Administrators group, which explains why those users can
log in. Either those, or some other file needed for the login...
Perhaps the shell (/bin/sh or /bin/bash)?
What does ls -l /etc/{passwd,group} /bin/sh /bin/bash print?
Now the weird thing is that I am able to log in (ssh in). I'm part of
the administrator group. I set up another user as a normal user and
they are not able to authenticate and get in. If I promote this user to
be part of the administrator group he/she is able to get in.
I read this thread and noticed a poster stated if one read the readme
in /usr/share/doc/Cygwin that this should cover all I need to know. I
did read it and I am not seeing where I made the mistake. Can anyone
assist me on where I am making a mistake?

davfs for cygwin rsync?
I'm looking at the man page for rsync and I need a little help. I just learned on the Boulder Linux UG mailing list that it is possible to mount a Web DAV file system with davfs and use rsync with it on a linux system. I assume this works with another utility too, like unison and rbackup. Hmmm... I cannot find rbackup in the man pages on cygwin. What about cygwin rsync? Can that be used with davfs or something similar on cygwin? Apparently not. According to the man page Once installed, you can use rsync to any machine that you can access via remote shell. For remote transfers, rsync uses ssh for its communications I was hoping to find a commercial service for which I could use cygwin/rsync for daily backup.

How to read man pages on nfs-server?
Hmmm... well I tried a few more mirrors and still cannot find nfs-server 2.3-4 -- I'll wait some more.

Disaster recover with Cygwin?
My local linux users group in Colorado is having a very interesting conversation about disaster recovery on their mailing list. Let's assume someone types fdisk on my windows boot partition and I need to recover. I'm told I can network boot windows across the public internet if I can open up enough ports on the intervening firewalls. Can I use the cygwin ports of rsync or rdiff-backup initial create a remote repository and later restore a bootable windows partition and then boot locally? Thanks, Siegfried On Tue, Dec 27, 2005 at 10:21:38PM -0700, Siegfried Heintze wrote: So let us suppose I get hacked or type fdisk by accident or a drive fails. Do I have a disk to boot from if (1) I buy hosting and send rdiff backups off site? (2) I backup to a USB disk? (3) I backup to a consumer grade network disk? I believe in each scenario, I have to get out the installation CDs/DVDs and install the operating system to boot. If it is a hardware failure, I have to purchase a new hard drive. I'm really slow and it takes me a terribly long time to rebuild a dual boot windows/linux system by the time you include all the software development software. I just boot from a knoppix cd, setup the network by hand (iwconfig/ifconfig/route/resolv.conf, unless you have a router with DHCP setup, in which case there's no setup for Knoppix), partition, mke2fs, then use rsync or rdiff-backup to restore. Then setup /boot/grub/menu.lst and run grub-install on the boot drive. (Or you could use lilo, but why??) Can't comment on the Windows aspect of it much, since I last used Windows in 1999. I do remember that back then, it was very difficult to just copy the files over and have a working Windows system. The Windows backup program that came with Windows 98 expected you to install Windows, *then* run the restore. That program failing me 3 times out of 3 was part of what spurred me to learn Linux. Once I realized what I could do with Linux, I erased Windows from all my computers, and haven't put it back since. I hope to never again know more about Windows than the average office worker. I guess one can boot from the network, but I don't know if my network card has the required capabilities. How do I tell? If I do have that capability int my network card, would I be booting from another PC's drive or could this be a consumer grade NAS or SAN (assume there are such things). I've done this for diskless Linux clusters, and it works well but there's definitely an investment in learning how to do this. You probably don't want to learn how to do this unless you want to run diskless machines. Is there a better way to mitigate this other than my procedure of weekly connecting a second drive and using telinit 1 ; cp /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2? I have cloned many Thinkpad 600Es using the simple method I described above, and cloning is the same thing as a backup restore, so I know it works and is easy too. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

RE: Extracting Debug (meta data) from executable images?
But extracting debug info is way too vague of a term to offer any meaningful help. You'd have to state exactly what you're trying to do. Try man objdump or objdump -g file, or read the binutils/bfd internals manuals. I basically want to implement reflection for C++ by extracting all the metadata in the debug portion of the executable image to an xml file. Then I can easily write programs that can enumerate all the data members of any given struct or class. GDB can do this: too bad it produces C syntax instead of XML. I don't want to parse C, it is too difficult. I found a utility called gccxml which uses the gcc front end and dumps XML for all the class and struct information. It is strange, however, because it does not implement the -I switch that gcc does. Neither nm, readelf or objdump enumerate the fields of a struct. It looks like dwarfdump would, but libdwarf does not compile with cygwin/gcc 3.4 or RedHat8/gcc 3.2. So if I download the source code for GDB, do I compile it on cygwin using g++? I'd just need to modify the info variables and ptype commands to emit XML instead of C.

RE: Wanted: Help translating classpath from CMD.EXE to bash
Thanks Igor!
As someone mentioned, you can use cygpath -p to convert a POSIX-style
path into a Win32-style one.
I think I need to go the other way. Given a CLASSPATH variable in windows,
how do I convert it to cygwin? Do I use : to separate the elements, or do
I use \;. If I use :, what about the windows device names?
It seems to me this should have worked, but it does not:
* CLASSPATH=.\;c:\\dev\\xalan\\xalan-j_2_7_0\\xsltcservlet.jar\;others
* export $CLASSPATH
* echo ${CLASSPATH}
* javac myprogram.java
Alternatively, you can try using my java wrapper scripts that will do the
translation automatically for you (the scripts can be found at
http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/wrappers/java/?cvsroot=cygwin-apps;
you'll need to edit the scripts to point them to your Java installation
directory).
OK, is there any documentation? What kind of wrappers are these? I have
never heard of bash wrappers before. (hmmm... bash wrappers, sounds like a
new genre of music! -- maybe something like slam dancing?)
How about an example? That would probably suffice.
Well, even if I get Igor's bash wrappers to work, I'm kinda curious why my
attempt did not.

I should've been clearer, and said you can use 'cygpath -p' to convert
*between* a POSIX-style path and a Win32-style one. cygpath -[u]p (the
u is optional) will convert from a Win32 path to a POSIX one, whereas
cygpath -wp will convert from a POSIX path to a Win32 one. For more
details, see man cygpath, as Larry said.
It seems to me this should have worked, but it does not:

you'll need to edit the scripts to point them to your Java

Nope. I haven't really had time to package them properly. I won't be
able to write full-fledged documentation, but I'm willing to answer
questions and accept documentation patches against the CVS repository
above. Care to help out?
What kind of wrappers are these?
They are wrappers around the java, javac, etc, executables. Just make
sure they precede the real executables in the PATH. They will basically
invoke the real ones, having translated the known path arguments to POSIX
format. They will not translate all arguments -- if you pass filenames to
your Java program, you're responsible for translating those. But they
help (a lot, actually -- I use them constantly on my machine).
I have never heard of bash wrappers before. (hmmm... bash wrappers,
sounds like a new genre of music! -- maybe something like slam dancing?)
They are wrapper programs written in bash.
How about an example? That would probably suffice.
Sure. You can run
/usr/local/bin/java -classpath /home/me/jars/a.jar:/home/me/classes
SomeClass
And it'll call the Windows Java executable with the right paths.
Well, even if I get Igor's bash wrappers to work, I'm kinda curious why
my attempt did not.
You'll have to provide more details on what exactly didn't work in your
attempt.
HTH,

RE: How to write minimal program using GD library
Thanks Brian, It works! My problem was that I was running the program (via bash) from the emacs compile command. I wonder why the path is not set up correctly when I use emacs to create a subprocess? The path is setup correctly when I click on the Cygwin prompt. I think emacs specifies bash.exe -- perhaps that is the problem. Do I have to specify cygwin.bat? Below is the contents of Cygwin.bat. It does not look like it sets up any environment variables to me. Why is Cygwin.bat important? I'd also like to make this compile with msvc using the MSVC version of the gd library I downloaded from boutell.com. I guess I'll send email to him as the web site suggests unless someone can suggests a forum to post in.

How to write minimal program using GD library
I'm looking at the GD documentation (a C graphics library) and it pointed me
to a simple minimal C program. I cut and pasted this. See below.
I cannot get it to work, however, with g++ or msvc v7. When I follow the
directions with gcc, it compiles and links fine but when I try to run the
resulting program, I get the following error:
This application has failed to start because cygXpm-4.dll was not found.
Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
I've downloaded nearly the entirety of Cygwin and I cannot find such a dll.
How do I make this minimal program work?
When linking with C libraries downloaded as part of Cygwin, do I have to do
anything special? The documentation says no. I would guess that gcc
automatically knows to look in C:\cygwin\lib -- is this correct?
Thanks

How to write telnet server like program for serial port?
I need to write a program similar to a telnet server. A telnet server asynchronously reads data from a socket and writes it to a sub-process, and asynchronously reads data from the subprocess and writes to a socket. My program needs to replace the subprocess with a serial port. The telnet server cannot anticipate when data will arrive from the socket. Neither can it anticipate when data will arrive from the subprocess. How can I write a similar OS vendor neutral program using Cygwin C++, except, instead reading and writing to a process, I read and write to serial port? Can I do this with a single thread? How do I read and write to a serial port? Can anyone point me to some sample code for serial port I/O? I suppose I can look at the source for telnet -- it probably uses the select function.

How to update official cygwin documentation for g77 and gcc? (was: RE: need -mrtd to create Excel DLL?)
Lester,
Yeah, I did the same (with regard to __declspec keywords). Odd, Excell
won't read the DLL but C# will! I was just using Excell because it was handy
to test with. Good thing I really don't need excel. My real concern is
calling g77 from C# (which works). I got C# to call gcc too under cygwin.
Too bad my email wrapped my carefully prepared sample source code.
So our examples should go into the cygwin documentation! How can these be
inserted into to the documentation? Can someone tell us? Surely there will
be others who don't want to buy the Microsoft C++ or FORTRAN compilers but
want their C/FORTRAN code to interact with other Microsoft languages like
C#, VB.NET, Javascript.NET, J#.
Incidentally, I did discover that Microsoft is giving away their C/C++
compiler these days. It is part of the .NET Framework SDK (go to
http://search.microsoft.com to look for it). This free version of the
compiler seems to be able to compile C++ but does not have the standard C++
header files, only the standard C header files. I assume folks would still
prefer g77/gcc to Microsoft's, however. Oopss -- that is off topic. Sorry...

Subject: Re: need -mrtd to create Excel DLL?
Siegfried:
Hi. I did not use any __declspec keywords, etc. -- just vanilla C
code which runs as well under gcc or g++ under Cygwin, FreeBSD, or
SPARC/Solaris, etc. Creating DLLs is another matter -- I've just tested
this using Cygwin/gcc under XP Pro. As I said, I cannot get this to
work under Cygwin/g++.
I tested the application with Excel using the dlltest.xls file in
http://www.xraylith.wisc.edu/~khan/software/gnu-win32/
but without the other modifications in his cdll.[ch] files.
To use his dlltest.xls, I named my DLL the same, and created
double dll_double_square (double d)
as one of my functions which called a series of other functions in other
files before returning.
I used the following lines in my Makefile. No other special code changes
were required in any of my .c or .h files:
CC = gcc
MY_OBJS = \
[.o files]
DLL_OPTION=-mrtd # needed for Excel DLL
CYGWIN_OPTION=-mno-cygwin $(DLL_OPTION)
CDEBUGFLAGS = -g -O2 -Wall
CFLAGS = $(CDEBUGFLAGS) $(CYGWIN_OPTION)
dllmodule = cdll
obj_libs = $(MY_OBJS)
dependency_libs = -lm
# no need for run.exe when creating DLLs -- without a main()
compile: $(MY_OBJS)
@$(CC) -o run.exe $(MY_OBJS) ${dependency_libs}
cdll:
make -i compile
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -shared -o ${dllmodule}.dll \
-Wl,--out-implib=${dllmodule}.lib \
-Wl,--compat-implib \
-Wl,--add-stdcall-alias \
-Wl,--enable-stdcall-fixup \
-Wl,--enable-auto-import \
-Wl,--enable-auto-image-base \
-Wl,--whole-archive ${obj_libs} \
-Wl,--export-all-symbols \
-Wl,--output-def=${dllmodule}.def \
-Wl,--no-whole-archive ${dependency_libs}

: Lester,
: It works! Thank you. Assuming these will be archived, maybe this can help

: Since I'm wondering if Excel was caching something, I decided to use C#
and
: it works!

Apache httpd Accepts local connections but not Remote
Since you guys are so smart, responsive and generous with your time, I thought I would try this one on you. I have posted this on the Apache HTTP mailing list twice with no response. I have the following in my httpd.conf file. WebDAV seems to be working from my local network (when using IE 5/6) but I cannot log in from across the public internet and use the webdav client in IE 5. I can view the web pages on my site remotely, however. This means my firewall is letting me thru on port 80. Port 80 is all webdav needs, correct? (My colleague was having some success using the WebDAV client in Konquerer on Linux for reading files but never figure out how to write files). Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Why cannot I use IE 5/6 to view my files on my server (via webdav) from a remote client? It keeps prompting me for a username and password and never grants me access. Below is a fragment from my httpd.conf file. I've been going nuts trying to figure this one out for two months or more!

How to run ddd in XWin?
OK, I apparently already have that installed. I typed info XWin and learned about the options. Nothing terribly relevant to ddd here -- did I miss something. OK, I type XWin and ddd test.exe and same error. Any other ideas? Test.exe is compiled with the -g option in g77. I also tried ddd convex.pl and still got the same error. Ddd debugs perl too, correct? Thanks, Siegfried On Sun, July 11, 2004 6:36 pm, Richard Heintze said: Ah hah! Write a short program called test.c and gcc -g test.c -o test.exe and ddd test.exe and then I see Error: can't open display: This one's easy. It's almost certainly looking for a running X server, of which there almost certainly isn't one. I suggest you install the X.org packages, and then start XWin.exe .. (It's worth reading the documentation to decide how you want to start it, but I found that XWin.exe -multiwindow -emulate3buttons was useful (I use emu3buttons because the laptop I use it on only has 2 :( ) Why does this not work? So I download the insight debugger and tried /cygdrive/c/dev/insight/bin/gdb.exe test.exe This gives the error stat /cygdrive/c/tmp/test.c no such file or directory while executing Well that is not true, the file is there! I tried chmod 777 test.c but that did not help. The debugger works, it just cannot load test.c for some reason! Just ensure that is the correct path to the file? I would be surprised if it was /cygdrive/c/tmp ... More likely is /cygdrive/c/cygwin/tmp/test.c . Does that work?
