What an understatement.

Please try the PATCH_URI feature in CVS HEAD, and see
ports/apps/vim/gvim-7.0.178-1 for an example.

cygport: testing for 0.2.7

[Yaakov S (Cygwin Ports)]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA256

I'm counting down to releasing 0.2.7.  cygport developers, please cvs up
and test (especially PATCH_URI).

New features for 0.2.7:
* Use PATCH_URI for upstream or third-party patches; these patches are
included individually in the -src.tar.bz2 and do NOT get included in the
.src.patch.  See ports/apps/vim/gvim-7.0.178-1 and
ports/gnome/imlib/imlib-1.9.15-1 for examples of usage.
* CYGWIN_PATCHES/(PKG_LIST[#]).list files can be used in place of
PKG_CONTENTS[#].
* Add gtk-update-icon-cache to postinstall as needed.
* New binary dependency method.
* cross.cygclass: NEW for cross-compilers and cross-compiling; NEEDS WORK.
* gst-plugins*: External-dep plugins in separate bin packages can be
built together with the internal-dep plugins.
* pygtk: Support new bindings in 2.16.
* mirrors: Add rotator to sourceforge; add portage and vim.
* doc: HTML version of cygport.1.

Bug fixes:
* Handle HTTPS URIs with invalid certificates.
* Ignore mdate-sh in pkg_diff().
* Preserve shell metacharacters in args (Eric Blake).
* Fix AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS and AC_CONFIG_HEADERS again.
* fox: Restore doxygenation.
* perl: Handle (incorrect) use of site_perl.
* ruby: Fix definition of RUBY_ARCH.
* ruby-gnome2: multiple build fixes.

That's not a problem because libtool encloses the noinst libs with
- -Wl,--{,no-}whole-archive, allowing for just this situation.

That should not be necessary.  The following patch fixes the build of
gpgme-1.1.2 on cygwin:

http://cygwin-ports.cvs.sourceforge.net/*checkout*/cygwin-ports/ports/libs/gpgme/gpgme-1.1.2-1.src.patch

A similar patch may be necessary for libgpgme_pth_la_LDFLAGS; pth isn't
part of the distro however, so I haven't tried it.

(If the above is true, you can just remove the $(no_undefined)
conditional and use '-no-undefined' throughout.)

I doubt that upstream will take the INSTALLDIRS=vendor part of the patch
as is, since different distros surely have different ways of using
vendor_perl/site_perl.  The other part of the patch dealing with cygwin
capabilities (d_ino and company) should definitely get pushed upstream,
however.

Try the attached .cygport and .src.patch with a stock cygport.  I will
consider adding some logic to detect the (IMO erraneous) use of
site_perl instead of vendor_perl.

According to this argument, every library should include it's .la.
Nevertheless, the precedent in all the distros is that .la belongs in
- -devel packages, because it's primary purpose is for libtool linking;
not that much actually uses libltdl after all.

I was referring to Cygwin Ports CVS[1], where I maintain the code to
cygport(1) as well as a large repository of .cygport package files.  In
this case I was pointing to the latter, which Volker wanted to use as a
basis for updating the distro.

In any case, now that ImageMagick is maintained within the distro again,
the -src.tar.bz2 is the proper place to look.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: cygport-0.2.6-1

[Yaakov S (Cygwin Ports)]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

The following package has been updated in the Cygwin net release:

*** cygport-0.2.6-1

cygport is a new, and increasingly popular, way to create Cygwin
packages.  You only need cygport if you're a package developer or
building cygport-based Cygwin packages from source.

Bug fixes in 0.2.6:
- - Support AC_CONFIG_HEADERS(*:*) syntax.
- - Fix dependency listing.
- - Fix building gtk+-2.10 when gtk+-2.8 is installed.
- - pygtk: support pycairo.
- - svn: SVN_MODULE may be overridden.

Thanks to the following who have recently posted suggestions or fixes
with patches: Charles Wilson, Eric Blake, Volker Quetschke, Reini Urban.

autoconf2.5: AC_PATH_XTRA in 2.60

[Yaakov S (Cygwin Ports)]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Charles,

autoconf-2.60 needs a patch to fix AC_PATH_XTRA (XrmInitialize is
defined in libX11, not libXt), see below.

Thinking about this today, I realized that the fix is incorrect.  The
goal is to touch the input file (not the generated header), so we want
the *right* side of the colon, but then there's the other example in the
autoconf info page, which is:

AC_CONFIG_HEADERS([defines.h:defs.pre:defines.h.in:defs.post])

So to cover all the cases, we would have to revert the patch and do:

for d in . ${ac_subdirs}
do
  config_h="$(grep 'A[CM]_CONFIG_HEADERS*' ${d}/${configure_ac} | sed -e
's!A[CM]_CONFIG_HEADERS*(\[*\(.*\))!\1!g' -e 's!\]*!!g')"

  case "${config_h}" in
*:*) config_h_in="$(echo ${config_h//:/ } | cut -d ' ' -f 2-)" ;;
*) config_h_in="${config_h}.in" ;;
  esac

  for f in ${config_h_in}
  do
touch ${d}/${f}
  done
done

Agreed?

[Yaakov S (Cygwin Ports)]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

The following package has been updated in the Cygwin net release:

*** cygport-0.2.5-1

cygport is a newer, and increasingly popular, way to create Cygwin
packages.  More information is contained in the README, and a tutorial
at the URL below.

http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2006-05/msg00017.html

You only need cygport if you're a package developer or building
cygport-based Cygwin packages from source.

New in 0.2.5:
- - Supports autoconf-2.60, and requires it for building itself.
- - Fixed patch generation and application.
- - SRC_URI accepts Gentoo-style mirror:// URIs.
- - NEW git.cygclass: for GIT repository snapshots.
- - NEW mono.cygclass: for Mono C# and Gtk# assemblies.
- - cygautoreconf(): support AC_CONFIG_HEADERS and AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS.
- - gst-plugins0.8.cygclass: support gst-monkeysaudio.
- - qt3.cygclass: new functions doqt3{inc,lib}, qt3pluginto, doqt3plugin.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: cygport-0.2.4-1

[Yaakov S (Cygwin Ports)]

The following package has been updated in the Cygwin net release:

*** cygport-0.2.4-1

New features since 0.2.2-1:

* Zero-byte patches are not included in the -src tarball.

* localstatedir defaults to /var, with the exception of gnome2 packages
which require /var/lib for compatibility with scrollkeeper.

* Support for GStreamer 0.8, as well as Fluendo plugins for GStreamer 0.10.

* Fix detection of ruby-gnome2 import library names.

* CYGWIN-PATCHES/*.list files can be provided as an alternative to
defining PKG_CONTENTS[*].

* cygautoreconf accepts NO_AUTO* variables to disable individual
autotools (meant mainly for NO_AUTOHEADER).

* Fix naming of xorg-font-* packages.

For anyone interested in cygport development, make sure you're
using CVS.  I'm really overdue for shipping 0.2.5 with a lot of new
features, including support for mirror:// SRC_URI's, Mono and Gtk#, git
repositories, and improvements to cygautoreconf and gnome2_autoreconf.

Right now there isn't a way to do this; I see that there should be, as
such code would benefit vim as well.  Let me work on this, but it may
not happen this week.

That's your problem.  GladeWin32 is meant for native Win32 apps and is
not intended for use with Cygwin.  You need to install the Cygwin
pkg-config package in order to use pkg-config with Cygwin.

Since this readme doesn't get installed, this is not a problem.

Alternatively, build this module with cygport and the attached .cygport

objdump from binutils-20060709-1 does absolutely nothing; even running

I changed this because I found certain cases where the substitution
would not happen, and the '${prefix}' would end up as-is in a generated
source file, which is obviously undesirable.  And with the X11 move into
/usr, I didn't foresee much need for prefix != /usr anyway.

Thanks for the heads-up, I'll look at it once 2.60 is in the distro.

I don't see any reference to charset.alias in g-b-s HEAD, and AFAIK it
belongs to gettext, not info.  The only time I've needed to remove it
was with glib2, which contains a gettext-based i18n API.

I don't understand; if a file is present in more than one package, then
you get all sorts of problems with clobbering, missing files, etc.  This
is a limitation of setup.exe that we have to deal with.  A given file
should be in one and only one package, period.

Unless I misunderstood you, could you please make a new patch without
that part of the code.

Thanks,


Yaakov


P.S. Now that I think about it, it might be a good idea to have a
similar function that checks for _forgotten_ files, i.e. those that were
not included in any package.  PTC.

(some of the versions above are development branches), and I will update

AFAIK the difference is not in config but in /usr/lib; on Linux,
libpython2.4.so* are installed in /usr/lib, allowing one to link against
python with a simple -lpython2.4, where we need
- -L/usr/lib/python2.4/config also.  Having a copy/symlink of
libpython2.4.dll.a in /usr/lib would help make Cygwin more compatible
with python-dependent autotooled packages, which are not yet sensitive
to this peculiarity.

Keep in mind that the "Build instructions" section needs to be changed
for a cygport-based source package.

This installs the README in ${D}/usr/share/doc/Cygwin, and creates
binary and source packages.  You will also find cgdb-0.6.2-1/dist/cgdb/,
which is a release-ready package directory, and can be copied as is to
your web space for testing and upload.

In the future, please respect the following:

However, you do understand correctly.  I'm attaching the .cygport and
source patch that I've used to build cgdb for Cygwin Ports.

Just put these files together in a directory, cd there, then:

cygport ./cgdb-0.6.2-1.cygport download almostall

To retrieve the sources and build them.  Then just add your README and

BTW, for your next release, would you mind making a
/usr/lib/libpython2.4.dll.a ->
/usr/lib/python2.4/config/libpython2.4.dll.a symlink?  It would help

automake: 1.4, 1.5, and wrapper

[Yaakov S (Cygwin Ports)]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Charles,

A few requests regarding automake:

1) Could you please include the attached patch in automake1.4?  This
makes automake-1.4 compatible with the other versions in accepting
- --force-missing.  Otherwise, when using autoreconf-2.5x and automake-1.4
together (yes, it does happen), autoreconf -f -i -v fails.

2) Could you please package automake1.5 as well?  freeglut uses it.

3) In addition, it is possible to have a wrapper for automake with our
setup.  Gentoo has a similar setup, and uses this:

http://www.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/sys-devel/automake-wrapper/files/am-wrapper-1.sh?content-type=text%2Fplain

BTW, they have a different autoconf wrapper also:

GTK+ does not come with an SVG loader, but librsvg2 (the GNOME SVG

Re: BUG: /sbin in util-linux package

This is how the util-linux source package installs them, see also:

Also in the package is the /usr/sbin directory with nothing in it.


That's a flaw in the source's 'make install', which is not automake 
based.  The util-linux source provides several /usr/sbin commands as 
well, but none of them are relevant to Cygwin and are not built; the 
makefiles create this directory anyway, regardless if anything is 
installed into it.

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-

The following package has been added to the Cygwin net release:

The util-linux package contains the following commands:

agetty arch cal chkdupexe col colcrt colrm column ddate fsck.cramfs
fsck.minix getopt hexdump hwclock isosize line look mcookie mkfs
mkfs.bfs mkfs.cramfs mkfs.minix mkswap more namei pg rename renice rev

INSTALLATION NOTES:

Some of the above commands were previously in cygutils; those wanting
these commands will need to *MANUALLY* select util-linux for
installation while or after upgrading to cygutils-1.3.0-1.

The agetty, more, and setsid packages are now obsoleted by this package;
setup.exe will handle that part of the transition automatically.

Are you using autoreconf to pull in our libtool?  I haven't had any
problems with our 1.5.20-2.

Unless they're packing their own libtool.m4, it shouldn't be that
difficult...

I would say that missing a shared library should be fixed ASAP; I have
several packages which require it.

clamav maintainer,

The shared libclamav is missing from clamav-0.88-1; you need to (re-)add
'-no-undefined' to libclamav_la_LDFLAGS.

My script package is based on:

http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-09/msg01371.html

Which appears to be a (old) port of the util-linux script, but the code
is quite different from the script.c in the current util-linux-2.12r.  I
have tweaked the util-linux script to compile, but it needs further testing.

Actually, after exploring util-linux, it appears that a number of
utilities could be packaged from there, but some of them are duplicated
in cygutils.  Maybe the cygutils maintainer (Chuck?) could step forward
and help explain the similarities and differences between cygutils and
util-linux.

aspell: invalid libaspell.la file

[Yaakov S (Cygwin Ports)]

aspell maintainer,

The libaspell.la libtool file was apparently created by a very old 
version of libtool, and contains bogus dependency information which 
makes libtool choke when linking applications against libaspell.


It would be most helpful if you could build aspell with the current 
libtool (and even better if you could update to 0.60.4), by running 
'autoreconf -f -i -v' before configure[*].  Thanks in advance.


[*] If you build without --enable-compile-in-filters, you'll need to add 
'-no-undefined' to filter_ldflags in the top-level Makefile.am.

Re: missing getaddrinfo

Eric Blake wrote:

Currently, cygwin does not provide getaddrinfo, even though
SUSv3 specifies it in /.  CVS Coreutils
has been using gnulib to provide a replacement definition,

the winsock headers/libraries to provide getaddrinfo.  As a
result, coreutils is now trying to link in -lws2_32 to get
the winsock version of getaddrinfo (and I suspect that will
not work properly).


I have used the following as a workaround in several packages:

You need only the getaddrinfo.{c,h} from the tarball (and the README for

1.5.19: changes have broken Qt3

[Yaakov S (Cygwin Ports)]

It would appear that changes to the cygwin1.dll since 1.5.18-1 (and 
before the 20051207 snapshot) have broken Qt3.  The relevant threads 
until now:


http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2005-12/msg00026.html
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2006-02/msg5.html

The bottom line is that applications dependent on Qt threads, which 
worked with 1.5.18, now crash silently.  This also breaks building qt3 
from source, as uic is similarly affected.


Interestingly, running designer-qt3 (an alias for 
/usr/lib/qt3/bin/designer) on 1.5.19-4 uniquely raises the following error:


 17 [main] designer-qt3 1628 _cygtls::handle_exceptions: Error 
while dumping state (probably corrupted stack)

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Using the 20060212 snapshot dll gives similar results; in the case of 
designer:


 12 [main] designer-qt3 808 _cygtls::handle_exceptions: Error while 
dumping state (probably corrupted stack)
 594884 [main] designer-qt3 808 _cygtls::handle_exceptions: Error while 
dumping state (probably corrupted stack)
2157249 [main] designer-qt3 808 _cygtls::handle_exceptions: Error while 
dumping state (probably corrupted stack)

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Running scribus, which exits silently on 1.5.19-4, with the 
aforementioned snapshot also gives a similar error.


Note that non-threaded Qt3 apps (e.g. qtconfig) do work with all three 
mentioned versions of cygwin1.dll.


I would like very much to get to the bottom of this.  If one of the 
Cygwin developers could please let me know what other information I can 
provide to help solve this, I'd be glad to provide it.

libUSB did not compile with Cygwin, so I installed libUSB-win32, but it does

Actually, I'm trying to get this working myself.  See:

This is a Cygwin version of libusb-win32, but it would seem from the

AFAIK there is no approved way of releasing cygwin together with

Looks like I had the wrong perl-Tk release uploaded, the one with
'experimental' Xft support, and not the standard one on my system (which
is why I couldn't dup this).  Now we all know why it's experimental.

Look for a release -4 soon which should fix this.

Right now, all _POSIX_SOURCE seems to do is exclude a number of
constants and functions from being defined, supposedly because they
aren't part of the POSIX standard.

Now, newlib != glibc, but the examples I mentioned before could be
compared to their glib counterparts (see below regarding ).

OK, but I think these are uncommon cases; I've built a *LOT* of packages
of all types, and this has not generally been a problem.

gmime2:

gmime-gpg-context.c: In function `gpg_ctx_op_step':

fd_set is defined in  (which is also called by
, but only if !defined(_POSIX_SOURCE)), but with this
condition:

/* We don't define fd_set and friends if we are compiling POSIX
   source, or if we have included (or may include as indicated

   it must not call the cygwin32 select function.
*/
# if !(defined (_POSIX_SOURCE) || defined (_WINSOCK_H) || defined
(__USE_W32_SOCKETS))

AFAICS, in glibc, fd_set is (independent of _POSIX_SOURCE) defined via
.

Since _POSIX_SOURCE on Cygwin doesn't add anything, I can't remember a
case that I've had to *add* such a define.

I think it would be the opposite.

1) In glibc, _POSIX_SOURCE is defined by features.h based on a number of
conditions[1].  The newlib/Cygwin features.h isn't nearly so thorough.

[1]
http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/libc/include/features.h?cvsroot=glibc

2) After running a grep of /usr/include, it looks like arbitrarily
defining _POSIX_SOURCE in Cygwin would cause a significant number of
constants and functions to never be defined (and AFAICS there would be
no simple way to undef it within code), without actually adding
anything, for example:

/usr/include/dirent.h:#if !defined(MAXNAMLEN) && !defined(_POSIX_SOURCE)
/usr/include/fnmatch.h:#ifndef _POSIX_SOURCE
/usr/include/glob.h:#ifndef _POSIX_SOURCE
/usr/include/grp.h:#if !defined(_POSIX_SOURCE) && !defined(_XOPEN_SOURCE)
/usr/include/grp.h:#ifndef _POSIX_SOURCE
/usr/include/pwd.h:#ifndef _POSIX_SOURCE
/usr/include/pwd.h:#ifndef _POSIX_SOURCE
/usr/include/sys/dirent.h:#ifndef _POSIX_SOURCE
/usr/include/sys/fcntl.h:#ifndef_POSIX_SOURCE
/usr/include/sys/fcntl.h:#ifndef_POSIX_SOURCE
/usr/include/sys/fcntl.h:#ifndef_POSIX_SOURCE
/usr/include/sys/fcntl.h:#ifndef_POSIX_SOURCE
/usr/include/sys/fcntl.h:#ifndef_POSIX_SOURCE
/usr/include/sys/select.h:#if !defined (_POSIX_SOURCE) && !defined
(__INSIDE_CYGWIN_NET__)
/usr/include/sys/stat.h:#ifndef _POSIX_SOURCE
/usr/include/sys/types.h:# ifndef   _POSIX_SOURCE
/usr/include/sys/types.h:# if !(defined (_POSIX_SOURCE) || defined
(_WINSOCK_H) || defined (__USE_W32_SOCKETS))
/usr/include/sys/unistd.h:#ifndef_POSIX_SOURCE

3) I think that, in many cases, _POSIX_SOURCE is defined in code if
desired (and that would have been the best solution in the
aforementioned case).

4) I'm sure I remember a few times that, even when _POSIX_SOURCE was
defined in code, I had to #ifndef __CYGWIN__ that define due to compile
errors; I can't remember having to manually add such a define, however.

My $0.02, YMMV.

Installing GNOME programs on Cygwin is no different than other packages,
and running them should be no different then on *NIX (except that the
full desktop doesn't work yet).

1) gconfd-2 should not be started manually; programs that need it will

$ gconftool-2 --shutdown
$ ps -a   [make sure gconfd-2 isn't running, else /bin/kill it]
$ rm -fr $TMP/gconfd-*

You need to update gtk2-x11-runtime from the distro to 2.6.10-1.
(There's another solution, but this is the simplest.)

I haven't tried GNOME (or Cygwin FTM) on Win2003, so I have no idea how
it works there.

None of the perl-Tk modules link against libwmf, and a grep of the
sources for "wmf" returns nothing.

In addition, neither Debian nor Gentoo show libwmf as a requirement for
their packages.

Yitzchak,

If they have their own CPAN Bundles, then I suppose it would makes sense
to use those in some cases (NOT, for example, Bundle::Gnome2, for the
reasons I stated before).  But if they are just simple, non-essential
CPAN modules and aren't (potential) prereq's for something else, then I
don't see a reason to package them at all.

I think that we need to consider the precedents set by other distros.
For example, Gentoo policy[1] is not to make ebuilds for simple CPAN
modules that are non-essential and not required for another package.

[1] http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/ebuild-submit.xml

There are some CPAN modules (libwww-perl comes to mind) which IIRC I
have seen as part of Fedora, Debian, and Gentoo, so that should be a
candidate.

Could you provide a list of what you have in mind?  That would give me a
better idea of what we're talking about.

I think it's preferable to make separate packages for each module.  My
reasoning:

1) this is the precedent set by Linux distributions;
2) bumping one module doesn't require rolling a whole bundle;
3) separate modules minimizes unnecessary dependencies;
4) I'm sure there's something else I'm forgetting.

IOW, I do NOT like this idea.

If, OTOH, I do believe that more perl modules should go into the distro,
without packaging the entire CPAN, certainly:

1) modules which don't build OOTB (e.g. Tk, gtk2-perl bindings, etc.);
2) modules which are prerequisites for other packages (e.g.
ExtUtils::PkgConfig, necessary for building gtk2-perl bindings).

The same would apply, of course, to python and ruby.  You'll see I
already have a large selection on Cygwin Ports, although not all of
those are candidates for the distro.

Does this make sense then, with gvim setup.hint requires: vim?

Thought as much, but just wanted to check, since vim is yours.

Which makes plenty of sense, and has precendence in Debian and Gentoo,
as previously mentioned.

Cygwin Ports contains a gvim package, which includes just the gtk2-x11
GUI vim as 'gvim' (and various 'g' symlinks), and depends on vim for the
runtime files, etc.

- From the standard bash prompt with DISPLAY set but X not open, I get
after a few seconds:

$ gvim
E233: cannot open display
Hit ENTER or type command to continue

When I press Enter, I get vim on console.  If I unset DISPLAY, I get the
above message immediately.

Providing separates package for the console and GUI vims is done both by
Gentoo[1] and Debian[2], and should circumvent this problem, as well as
not pulling in X11 and GTK dependencies for those looking just for the
console version.

[1] http://packages.gentoo.org/search/?sstring=vim
[2] http://packages.debian.org/unstable/source/vim

I'm not much of a vim user myself, but with the menus, gvim is a lot
easier to learn.

Of course, in order to get a GTK vim into the distro, Corinna will need
to be consulted, as the Cygwin vim maintainer.

You could try these:

As these are not part of the Cygwin net release, further discussion here 
would be inappropriate.  Moving this to the Cygwin Ports general list.

Just how rxvt manages to use both X11 and Win32GUI is unique, as has
been discussed before at length.  Don't expect anything else X11 based
to do that on Cygwin.

perl-Tk is X11-based because it *does not compile* on Cygwin for Win32.

How does this prove that it's possible?

If that's what you want, then it's already possible with ActivePerl,
which IIRC includes Tk OOTB.

libtool exits with an error "cannot find /usr/lib/libz.la".
