The implementation won't work on Cygwin for functions exported by the
Cygwin DLL itself. At least not as you expect it to work. Every such
symbol will return the application's pathname in dli_fname. The reason
is the way the functions are exported from libcygwin.a. You always get
the address of the function stub linked statically to the executable.
I fear this needs more work for Cygwin.
I understand but I suppose it would work for other dlls and it's not
important if
it doesn't work for cygwin dll itself because until now you didn't need
it.

dladdr and Dl_info
Hi,
I am trying to compile llvm on latest cygwin and I get an error about
missing
definitions for Dl_info and dladdr.
const llvm::sys::Path CIndexer::getClangPath() {
// Did we already compute the path?
if (!ClangPath.empty())
return ClangPath;
// Find the location where this library lives (libCIndex.dylib).
#ifdef LLVM_ON_WIN32
...
#else
// This silly cast below avoids a C++ warning.
Dl_info info;
if (dladdr((void *)(uintptr_t)clang_createTranslationUnit, info) == 0)
assert(0 Call to dladdr() failed);
llvm::sys::Path CIndexPath(info.dli_fname);
// We now have the CIndex directory, locate clang relative to it.
CIndexPath.eraseComponent();
CIndexPath.eraseComponent();
CIndexPath.appendComponent(bin);
CIndexPath.appendComponent(clang);
#endif
// Cache our result.
ClangPath = CIndexPath;
return ClangPath;
}
Could it be possible to provide an implementation ?
Thanks

Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] [1.7] Updated [security]: bash-3.2.49-23 and Windows 7 RC
Ok, so I can confirm a problem with bash 3.2.49-23 on Windows 7 RC build 7100 64-bit. Basically, bash just crashes on startup. I don't have access to a Vista machine right now but it's worthwhile confirming on it. I don't have access to any of these (just XP, here), so I can't really tell where things are crashing. It works just fine for me.

It would be nice to know what function is dying, but doing that may require rebuilding a bash image with debugging symbols. Did you by chance do any rebasing?

weird feature
Hi, I know that my question could be a bit astonishing but I am not afraid to ask it ;-) I am trying to compile a software for symbian platform and originally they have released a SDK on windows linked with mingw and where you use a DOS terminal to compile. They have designed some build system mixing mingw/perl/dos command (yuk!) but I don't want to follow their logic and I wouldn't like to install mingw (last time I tried I had so many issues I don't want to try again). So my question is would it be possible for cygwin to understand path like that : /myfolder/foo instead of /cygdrive/c/myfolder/foo What I mean is it seems that their toolchain is considering /... as DRIVELETTER_WHERE_ITS_INSTALLED/... Would it be possible I don't know by declaring a env var to allow that kind of behavior ?

Optimize cygwin on recent windows version (Vista and Seven)
Hi, Until now I was using cygwin on Windows XP and I was satisfied by cygwin-1.7 but these last few days I switched to a more powerful laptop with very fast hardware (Core Duo 3.0 Ghz and SSD OCZ Vertex) and running windows Seven. Now when I test cygwin, everything is so sloowww, I know this is not something new but do you plan to work on this issue ? From what I know, the problem comes from fork implementation but actually as a user I don't care where does it come from I am only noticing I cannot work anymore with cygwin. Have you ever thought of something to improve things ? Will it be one day possible ? Are you lacking some information from MS ? It's so annoying that with very modern hardware I feel like runnning a windows 3.1 on a 128 KB system ... If you answer that it's not possible to do better, in this case I will to find alternatives.

BLODA list
Hi, Is there any BLODA list ? If not I would like to start one and report that the following software is not compatible : Manufacturer : Logitech Process : LVComSrv.exe,LVPrcSvr.exe When I try to compile, everything starts to be very slow and sometimes sh crashs but as soon as I kill LVPrcSvr.exe, things are getting normal.

Dates? Not that I know of. If not, I'd be interested to know why. Well, the reason I wasn't planning to do it is because I don't ever use Windows Mobile. I can't speak for anyone else of course. You can already use cegcc, don't see the point to port cygwin. Huh? You can already use MinGW on ordinary windows, but there was a point in writing Cygwin in the first place. Neither cegcc nor MinGW give you a Posix API and environment; that's what Cygwin does on non-mobile Windows, and that's what would be the point of porting it to Mobile Windows. Am I missing something here? Still don't understand because cegcc provides you with POSIX API! And what would mean to port cygwin on Windows Mobile, does it mean you want a terminal with a compiler running directly on the device ? You need to know that cegcc is actually a common name for two different toolchains cegcc = POSIX API + newlib libc mingw32ce = mingw for wince : native API + native libc To say it differently : cegcc = cygwin for wince mingw32ce = mingw for wince But maybe I am the one missing something ? -- 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/
Vista feedback
Hi, I recently bought a new laptop and of course it was loaded with Windows Vista(Ultimate). So as usual I tried to install cygwin on it, I run the setup.exe, I let the default install folder and then I need to choose packages. First I was surprised because I couldn't find subversion, so I quit setup and restart it but this time with another mirror and then I was able to find subversion but when I try to install it, setup crash. So since I was motivated I try it again but this time, withe the first mirror and this time subversion was available!!! Anyway I told me it might be some network issues so I keep on installing. After a few minutes I realized I forget to install emacs, so I run setup, install it with mintty as well and then I enter emacs on prompt. this time emacs.exe crash and I am proposed to debug it. So my question is : does cygwin have some known issues with Vista ? Of course I can use vim for instance but I find it annoying... -- 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/

You didn't say whether you have sufficient RAM, why you would not consider 64-bit or SSD if you are serious about Vista. Not that we want your answer. cygwin is agonizingly slow for many jobs, even on XP SP3. You'll see the reasons in the archives of this group. Hum I got 3 GB of ram, a 2.4 GHz Core2Duo, Nvidia 8600 GT and Windows Vista Ultimate (32 bits) and a 7200 rpm drive. When I say it's slow I am comparing to Windows XP SP3, the same cross-compilation takes twice much time on Vista ... SSD are you serious Whay should I spend so much money while the problem is caused by the OS. laptop performance is not the reason -- 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: RFD: cygwin + *native* MinGW compiler

That is, incantations like this: snip I find myself bouncing around between cygwin and mingw because each one helps me accomplish different tasks. I use the Cygwin environment (including vim) for the actual software development of embedded systems, and to host the different gcc flavours needed for each target processor. There's lots of great tools ready to go, and it's now possible to drive the install from the command line, which makes it easy to reproduce a specific workstation configuration. Occasionally, I want to compile special tools that I can redistribute without source, so I use mingw for that. I have a build framework for embedded systems that I use for all my projects - even PC based ones. If I'm compiling third party software that comes with a makefile or autoconf script then I'll use that. Once you start designing makefiles that have to work with multiple compiler versions and flags and include and library paths, it gets complicated very quickly :-) One reason I have not tried to drive the native MinGW compiler is because of the path issues for includes and libraries. I was worried that Cygwin includes and libraries would accidentally get referenced.

Couldn't be possible to share more things between the two projects ? I mean for instance share the cywgin installer that could allow people to install cygwin and mingw on two different places to avoid lib/path issues.
