save this as SConstruct.simple

print("I'm in a SConstruct")

Then run
scons -f SConstruct.simple

Do you get any output?

xyz host doesn't respond to pings from any host.
Interesting.
My xp box with cygwin 1.7.1 can ssh to the host xyz.
I can ssh from my win7 and xp box with cygwin ssh to another box
(which is pingable)

Both of which have just been updated to the latest packages, so should
have the same versions of everything.

Thanks,
Bill

1.7.1 ssh on win7 Non-recoverable failure in name resolution ?

2010-02-09 Thread William Deegan
Greetings,

I've just setup a win7 ultimate vm under vmware fusion.

And of course, installed cygwin.

When I try to ssh to my favorite host using my favorite username I get
the following error:
ssh: Could not resolve hostname myhost.xyz.com: Non-recoverable
failure in name resolution

Any suggestions how to resolve this?
I saw another email where there was a similar issue with nslookup
which suggested adding a resolv.conf (which I did and that resolve
nslookup for the same host).

Thanks,
Bill

I had a similar issue. If you do a from scratch install recently, you
do not get the "XWin Server" under "Cygwin-X".
For my install I did install the x windows, and can start from startx
in the shell or the startxwin.bat, just no menu item.

setup.exe crashing on postgress uninstall

2008-08-13 Thread William Deegan
Greetings,

I just downloaded latest setup.exe and ran it to update my current packages.
When it got to uninstalling postgresql prior to installing the new
version, it crashed and hung.

Any suggestions how to get past this/capture useful information to
file a bug with?

Also, if I instruct setup.exe to keep the current version of
postgress, then it doesn't crash.

See attached cygcheck -s for info on packages.

If this is a commercial product, the GPL license will not allow you to
use Cygwin unless you release your source code.
You can purchase a license from Redhat for cygwin which would allow
you to sell your product.
I believe there's a FAQ on this on the site.

So before you spend a lot of effort getting your code to build under
cygwin, you should resolve the licensing issues.

Re: Adding to a windows zip file without zip.exe

2007-05-16 Thread William Deegan

> Install the 'zip' package?

Unfortunatly I cannot install any new packages on these boxes at this time,
thus using zip.exe is not an option.   I am open to the idea of extracting
the files from the current ZIP and then rezipping them with my new files,
but the final ZIP file created must be a standard windows ZIP file (IE
openable by winzip)

Since windows explorer can open a zip file, perhaps some com object
can do what you need, do you have perl or python win32 modules
installed?

Hello!
I happen to have here a couple of eval copies of the product. They
were courtesy of the representative from Microsoft at the release
activities of last month.

I think its just the 32bit one, but your welcome to two copies of the
eval copy collection I have here. I do not even expect to install any
of them here unless necessary.

Re: How do I roll back to make 3.80 ?

2006-10-31 Thread William Deegan

Angelo,


Have you tried the version of Make described here
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-10/msg00296.html ?

It is a 3.81 patched version that perhaps can solve your problems.


Yes. Just found that.
Seems to work fine. Though my build is not yet done.
I'll followup when its done.

Is this patch likely to be released anytime soon?

Thanks,
Bill




Cheers,

  Angelo.

How do I roll back to make 3.80 ?

2006-10-31 Thread William Deegan

Greetings,

I accidently updated to latest make 3.81 (which has many changes
already discussed here)
which broke my build.

I can't seem to install the previous version with the installer.
Is this no longer possible?

Thanks,

MINGW GCC WIN64 port?

2006-09-18 Thread William Deegan

All,

This may be a little off topic, but I beleive there's enough of an
audience here to
make it worthwhile.

One of my clients is interested in getting MINGW working on win64.
We're considering engaging codesourcery to do the work.
Anyone out there interested/able to co-funding the work?

Thanks,

Big thanks to Corinna and Chris

2006-02-08 Thread William Deegan
Corinna and Chris,

Big thanks for your maintenance and development of cygwin.
Which no doubt requires great amounts of patience and energy to deal with
all the problem reports (both substantive, and not).

I've been using cygwin ever since it was first available for free.
Great tool(s).

Thanks again,

Did it make it into the 9/22 snapshot?

A new day, a new snapshot, more testing required on the road to 1.5.19

2005-09-20 Thread William Deegan
Greetings,

I pulled the 0919, and 0920 snapshots and both don't run .bat files correctly.

With the 0901 snapshot and with 1.5.18-1, when I run duh.bat (which
contains the following
and is attached), I see:
REM AHA
echo "AHAHAHA"

With either the 0919, 0920 snapshot I see the following:

duh.bat: line 1: REM: command not found
AHAHAHA

Pretty serious bug as this breaks my regression system.
Is this expected? Was it not supposed to work before?

I've attached the cygcheck.out run when the 0901 snapshot was being used.
The only thing changed with the 0920, or 0919 snapshot is the cygwin1.dll

Thanks,
Bill

gmail won't let me send duh.bat so cut here:

REM AHA
echo "AHAHAHA"

No. Unfortunatey it's part of a regression system.  The main perl script runs
the perl script once for each testcase, the the child test script which hangs.

I've download and installed the latest snapshot, in hopes of being able
to see what's happening inside of cygwin1.dll where the process seems
to be intermittanly hanging in perl:

Here's the stack trace obtained with sysinternals process explorer:

The symptom is the process just hangs, it doesn't always happen, although
it happens a lot more frequently with 0824, and 0823's snapshots than
with 1.5.18-1,
and sometime prior to 1.5.18-1, it didnt' happen at all.

Any help is appreciated. See attached cygcheck.

Also when I use gdb to attach to the process there are less symbols than above,
and dll-symbols cygwin1.dbg doesn't seem to improve the debug info.

Thanks,
Bill

I installed the cygwin1.dll and cygwin1.dbg, but I'm still not seeing
any symbols in
cygwin.dll.  Am I missing a step?
I attached to a running process via:

cygwin1-*.dbg.bz2   debugging information for cygwin1.dll (rename to
