zp_octave_finish.dash fails when updating

[Uwe F. Mayer via Cygwin]

The script /etc/postinstall/zp_octave_finish.dash from octave-8.4.0-1.tar.bz2 
fails during Cygwin update because that script expects the directory 
/usr/share/octave/packages to exist. Creating that directory fixes this error.

Re: Cygwin fails to create sockets correctly

[Uwe F. Mayer via Cygwin]

I found that if I start X or an ssh agent, and then manually set the
system attribute on the socket file with something like

(cd /tmp/.X11-unix/ && attrib +s X0)

or

(cd /tmp/ssh-gjJq8mINCmz0 && attrib +s agent.3145)

then things work fine as far as X windows and ssh-agent are
concerned. That means the issue at hand is that the system attribute is
not set, the sockets themselves work fine once the file can be
identified as a named socket.

Starting X or ssh-agent as an administrator does not help.

Anybody have any hints on what update / security setting changes could
have triggered the system attribute not to be set, and more
importantly, how to get this corrected?

Cygwin fails to create sockets correctly

[Uwe F. Mayer via Cygwin]

Cygwin fails to create sockets correctly on some computers. Specifically, this 
fails on my machines with Windows 10 Enterprise, but works fine on a system 
with Windows 10 Pro. This was first observed on or about Nov 19, 2023. On one 
of the Windows 10 Enterprise machines X has been running for several days and 
has a functioning socket created on Nov 15, but new sockets cannot be 
successfully created.
Steps to reproduce:1) Run any program that will produce a named socket.2) Do an 
ls -l on the socket, it will come up as an ordinary file with permissions 
-rw-rw-rw- instead of srw-rw-rw- (note the missing "s").
All my Windows 10 Enterprise machines are centrally managed by my employer.

No threads/process support in Clisp

[F. Nikita Thomas]

Thanks,
I didn't see a reply in my inbox, so how do I reply? o.0... anyways
since I'm legally not
sane, I'm downloading the source tree right now. Any idea where Cygwin
will install the source files? I'll just have to hope that the
'configury' is standard make && make install. I'll let you know how it
turns out.No threads/process support in Clisp

No threads/process support in Clisp

[F. Nikita Thomas]

Hello,
I finally feel confident enough to try processes/threads in Lisp,
however when I evaluate *features* in the repl, I don't see MT:, so no
thread support. Is there a way to rebuild clisp for this
functionality? Clisp version is 2.48, Cygwin version 1.7.27. Any help
or advice will be appreciated. Thanks.

mkpasswd and domain fail with windows network

[Furash, Gary F - (furashg)]

I've had this problem in the past with in other organizations and have never 
been able to get around it.

Problem: running mkpasswd w/ '-D' doesn't work/finish

Details: I am running Cygwin on Windows 7 64 bit in a typical work environment. 
I don't think that matters because I've had this exact problem before with 
other employers. The MKGROUP command with the domain parameter works fine, and 
populates all the real domains into /etc/groups. However, 
- if I run mkpasswd with only -L, I just get the local accounts, none of which 
are me (I'm part of a domain);
- if I run mkpasswd with -D, it just hangs indefinitely
- it doesn't matter if I run it as Administrator or not
- it doesn't matter if port 135 is open or not. I checked that because if I run 
the mkpasswd -D command with the laptop disconnected from the network, it 
actually fails with an RPC unable to contact domain error.
- using -D versus -d doesn't make a difference, as does adding -l (it just 
spits out the local accounts then fails or hangs.

Re: No Network Access Nearly Resolved

[Furash, Gary F - (furashg)]

Hi Corrina:

>   For a start, maybe you should set up /etc/passwd and /etc/group as they 
> are supposed to be, not as you think they should be:
>   $ mkpasswd -l -d > /etc/passwd
>   $ mkgroup -l -d > /etc/group

Even when I run mkpasswd from a dos prompt (that can see mkpasswd) and can 
resolve network names, adding the "-d" parameter causes it to pause forever, 
whereas the mkgroup works immediately (several thousand entries).

libtirpc

[Harsh, James F]

I'm trying to install libtirpc1.a, the replacement for librpc.a, A few weeks 
ago I installed it and it was in /lib. I removed and reinstalled cygwin and now 
can't find  anything *rpc*. Where is the libtirpc suppose to be installed and 
any ideas why I can't find what the system thinks it has installed?


This is on a Windows 7 machine.


Thanks,
Jim

Your advice did solve the problem, thanks!  I wonder which specific entry in the
changelog did it...

The unwillignness to show any text until it finds a newline seems it could be a
cygwin issue.  Taking the following code:

#ifndef __CYGWIN__
#define SLEEP _sleep(2000)
#else
#define SLEEP sleep(2)
#endif
#include 
#include 
int main() {
 int i;
 while(1) {
  for(i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
   printf("%c", 'a'+i);
   SLEEP;
  }
  SLEEP;
  printf("\n");
 }
}

When built in visual C++, it will show 'a', 'b', 'c' etc every 2 seconds.  When
built in cygwin with gcc, it will show 'abcde' every 10 seconds.  The latter
happens whether I run it from a bash console or windows console.

I'll start a new thread for this if noone off-handedly has the answer...

Sorry for spamming, it was simply that I tried running an app in an
already-started bash console, instead of restarting it with the new dll. :) 
Will let you know if the bug manifests again.

I might give the snapshot a shot.  Do you know how far from the release build
the latest snapshot is and when the next one is planned?

Is "full problem report" a technical term?  It's not on the page you link.  I
thought my report was detailed enough, and I can provide more info if anyone
needs it.  I've tried posting to the mailing list but my emails are rejected
from there without explanation (yes I've received the 'welcome to the list'

Madness with the 'select' function, sigalrm, and stdout. (CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64)

[Robert F]

This could be a cygwin bug, but I'm not 100% sure.  It may even be a weird
interaction with the windows console.

I have a single threaded app that loops, polls network activity with a 'select'
function and interrupts the flow of the loop when a SIGALRM signal is ran, the
handler of which sets a variable that the loop responds to.

While this app more-or-less ran fine in its native linux environment, when
trying to run it at home in cygwin a problem occurs. Basically, between about
2-100 seconds of starting the process (on average), the alarm signal never runs
as scheduled and never runs again, except for one more time when I hit CTRL+C
(which I know by inserting debugging output into the signal handler).

The funny thing is the app happily continues looping and calling the 'select'
function, it just never gets interrupted by an alarm signal. The select function
handles cases of EINTR where it was interrupted by an alarm, btw (sockets are
nonblocking and timeout is 1 second).

Now here's the REALLY weird bit. IF I insert a printf (with newline terminated
string) after the select function, _the problem never occurs_.  If there's no
newline, the printed strings are buffered without being shown, until either a
newline arrives or I hit CTRL-C.

Doesn't work if I put it before the select function, only after.

I haven't included any io streams into the fd_sets passed to the select
function, in case you were wondering. They are zeroed and then only receive
network connections.

This has me stumped.

Continued Networking Issues

[Furash, Gary F - (furashg)]

I still haven't solved the networking issues on my PC. After including the 
standard .profile and .bashrc in my startup process, I now get this behavior:

$ nslookup www.google.com
/usr/src/ports/net/bind/bind-9.7.1-1/src/bind-9.7.1/lib/isc/unix/net.c:142: 
socket() failed: Operation not permitted
/usr/src/ports/net/bind/bind-9.7.1-1/src/bind-9.7.1/lib/isc/unix/net.c:142: 
socket() failed: Operation not permitted
(null): can't find either v4 or v6 networking

$ ping 127.1.1.1
icmp: unknown protocol

Does anyone have any idea what would be done to correct this. When I run 
cmd.exe dos works fine.

Add MAILUTILS to CYGWIN Downloadable Packages

[Furash, Gary F - (furashg)]

There are a number of packages that are fairly common in LINUX distributions 
that are not available yet in CYGWIN, such as:

- PHP
- MAILUTILS

When I try to install them myself, I encounter problems and find that others 
have often encountered the same thing.

It would be wonderful if someone more knowledgeable about these matters could 
add them as optional packages to CYGWIN.

Re: Vertical split in GNU screen

[f...@neotek.fr]

Hi, i'm new with mailing-lists use!
i'd like to re-talk about a feature with cygwin screen! How can we add
the marvellous "Vertical split in GNU screen" with cygwin?
I know there were a talk about that between Jeenu V  and Andrew Schulman  the 19 Apr 2010!
Thanks in advance for somebody answer!
If i'm not at the right place to talk about this or if i don't use

gcc-4 -static cannot find -lgcc_s

[Uwe F. Mayer]

It seems that gcc-4 has problems finding libgcc_s when compiling with -static. 
This works fine with gcc-3. Example:

$ cat pointer.c
#include 
int main(){
 printf("%d",(int)sizeof(long));
 return(0);
}

Setup.exe crash while uninstalling libintl8 0.17-1

[Coates, Matthew F.]

setup.exe version 2.573.2.3
Unhandled exception at 0x004f42cb in setup.exe: 0xC005: Access violation 
reading location 0x0154fdf0.

This started happening after I noticed some security software blocking cygwin's 
operations.  the security software has been disabled, but the problem persists. 
 I can mark libintl8 as 'keep' and install other software without a problem.

Perhaps reinstalling the same version (bypassing the uninstall step) will bring 
the package back to an upgradable state?  

Thanks,
Matt

mounted drives

[Michael F. Smith]

I am sure you have probably heard this before as my research reveals that many 
have failed to get it to work. I am trying to use rsync from a linux server 
to get data from a windows XP that has a snap drive mounted as drive M:\

I am able to get the other files on the XP to copy fine, but I get the error 
indicating that folder does not exist when attempting to get data from the 
mounted drive.

I suspect that this may have something to do with the fact that the user is 
not logged in and as a result the drive that mapps when they login, is not 
actually mapped.

Can you suggest a correct method to perhaps add an option to the rsync daemon 
service to map the drive when the daemon starts ??

x-server font setting

[Ling F. Zhang]

I just installed cygwin in order to run fontforge on a Windows machine (while 
my linux machine is down). But since I am interested in working on font that 
covers the CJK plane, it is important that I can read text encoded in utf-8 or 
other non-latin codepage. I know that cygwin doesn't like unicode natively, but 
is it the same for the x-server? Is it safe to use ttf files from Windows (say, 
via a symbolic link or actual copy) fonts folder? I'll probably encounter more 
questions as I slowly get fontforge to display Asian glyphs.

Error isntalling from directory, 2.510.2.2 setup version

[Gallagher, Tim F \(NE\)]

I am tasked with installing Cygwin (The latest version) from an install
directory (the computer does not have an internet connection).  I run
the setup.exe I select for all users, install from local directory and I
get an error.  The screen is at 9% install and the error is at
/archive/mkinstalldirs,v.  I am not sure what to do, we need this
installed on the computer for development reasons.  I am not able to
find anything on this error when I do a Google search.  Any idea's?

[Fwd: CYGWIN "notty" (enthought solution?)]

[John F Burkhart]

Hello all. I've found this post:

http://www.thescripts.com/forum/thread32391.html
and I am having an identical problem.

I'm a newbie. I've installed cygwin (without python), and then installed 
enthought - because I'm hoping to use the scypy tools, etc.
Anyway, I'm running the latest cygwin on an xp pro machine. I use the 
.bat file (pasted below) to launch cygwin and an xterm. Notice i put the 
SET CYGWIN=notty line in there, but it hasn't done anything to improve 
the situation. Could someone perhaps explicitly sate how to set 
Cygwin=notty?

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
john

Problem with ls (ls: reading directory .: No such file or directory)

[Juan F. Arjona]

Hello:

Sorry to bother, but I have searched everywhere for days about this 
problem, and I have only found that there could be a permissions issue, 
though I have set and re-set the permissions from both, windows and 
cygwin side; but it doesn't fix the issue.


For some reason cygwin cannot access the files on my hard drive.
I have checked /etc/passwd and /etc/group (see at the end of the sample) 
and they are fine, my user (jarjona) seems to be part of all the 
required groups.


I have uninstalled and re-installed Cygwin several times.  When I try to 
do command completion, it doesn't fill the command line when I press 
tab, even though, when I do ls / I get the same answer "No such file or 
directory".


This is driving me crazy, any help will be highly appreciated.  Below 
all the commands that show the problem.


I have tried using tcsh (thinking that it was a bash issue) and I have 
the same problem.  So it seems that something is preventing cywin.dll to 
access the contents of the file system folders.

uninstall cygwin

[f g]

Hello,


I would like to uninstall a Cygwin installation under
Windows XP: to do this I follow the instruction in 



http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.setup.html#faq.setup.uninstall-all



but I have several problems.

Point 1) I type cygrunsrv -L at Cygwin prompt, but I
get the message
 "bash: cygrunsrv: command not found". What does this
mean? Is it safe to assume that I have non Cygiwn 
services running, and that I can pass to point 2?
Point 2) What is the X11 server? How do I know if
there are any Cygwin programs that might be running 
in the background, and in case there are some, how do
I terminate them?

If I complete these points, there should be no problem
with the following ones: basically, I just
delete Cygwin directory from the hard disk. I didn't
add Cygwin to system path, neither did I set
CYGWIN environment variable, so unless the installer
did it, I shouldn't need to do anything else.
Thanks for your attention,

Greetings,

deltaquattro (Sergio Rossi)

setup.exe: feature request with patch

[Dr. F. Lee]

Hi All,

I deploy cygwin using unattended (http://unattended.sf.net/) and wpkg 
(http://www.wpkg.org/). It's useful for me to be able to specify 
additional packages to be installed on the command line. The attached 
file is a patch to provide this: call "setup -p 
package1,package2,package3,...,packageN" to have packages1-N 
artificially included in the 'Base' part of the distribution and hence 
automatically included.


No doubt there are many better ways of doing this (I'm not a C++ 
programmer and had to go with 'what I could do' rather than 'the best 
way') but perhaps this will be useful.


Yours,

Frank

RE: G++ Missing libraries in cygwin

[Sam F Williams III]

Thanks for the response, Chris.  I checked the mount table and D:\cygwin\lib
is indeed properly mounted as /usr/lib.  I'm attaching the cygcheck output
in the hope that you guys can help.  Please let me know if you see anything
amiss.

Thanks,

This will allow us to work out WHAT is wrong, without having to resort 
to WAGs.
WANFWAGs (We Are Not Fond of Wild-Assed Guesses)


However, in spite of that, there's a reasonable chance that your mount 
table is incorrect, primarily in that C:\cygwin\lib (or wherever you 
installed cygwin to) is not mounted as /usr/lib
You can check this by simply typing mount
If this is the case, try: mount C:\cygwin\lib /usr/lib

It should be noted that if one mount is broken, there's a reasonable 
chance others are too, so send your cygcheck output anyway, as an 
*attachment*, to the list.

RE: cygwin and mkpasswd unable to recognize a domain user

I acted on the following recommendations.

This helped a great deal and perhaps all the cygwin issues have now been
resolved. I can now start a bash window under my domain user id. without
getting any errors messages. The home directory is where it should be.

Thanks much for taking me this far, Pierre.

But I'm still having problems with my ultimate objective which is to be able
to build gcc under my domain log in. I have been able to do this with cygwin
under a local administrator log in. But when I try using the domain log-in
it fails pretty early, during the stage of configuring binutils-i686-elf.
This symptom may be outside the realm of just getting cygwin to work. But
what surprises me is that the gcc build works fine under the local user id.
It just crashes under the domain user id.

The gcc build problem shows up as a windows process crash message as
follows.

"cc1.exe - Application Error
The applicaton failed to initialize properly (0xc022). Clikc on OK to
terminate the application."

Any thoughts on that?

No, the home directory gets built in /etc/profile, using HOME. Take a look.
HOME is setup be Cygwin, from the Windows HOME or from /etc/passwd, see the
FAQ.

There are three things here.
- One is a quoting problem in /etc/profile that causes the cp error.
- The second is the "mkpassd_l_d" group name. That is the name invented by
mkgroup, as it can't access the domain controller to get the real group
name. Simply edit /etc/group and change the group to anything you fancy.
- The third is the home directory, which is setup by mkpasswd -c from
HOMEDRIVE/HOMEPATH. Simply edit /etc/passwd and set it as you like, 
or redo "mkpasswd -l -c -p /home > /etc/passwd ".

So basically you are all set.

Thanks for the info. Pierre. Comments below.

> That's because either HOME is set in Windows to that path,
> or (yes, related problem), Cygwin defaults to using your 
> HOMEDRIVE/HOMEPATH

Right, but this is just a symptom (as you know). The more fundamental
problem
seems to be that the user id. is not recognized by cygwin so no
  /cygwin/home/ 
directory gets set up.

> Normally the last line produced by "mkpasswd -l -c"
> should give you a working password entry.
> Does it? If not, send us your environment, i.e. the output of "set" in
cmd.exe

I tried this at the bash window.

  cd /cygdrive/c/cygwin/etc
  mkpasswd -l -c > passwd
  mkgroup -l -c > group

After that I did see info. about my own domain log-in in file passwd. 
Then I closed the bash window and opened another to see if I still got
complaints. Unfortunately, yes, though the error message
is slightly different as follows.

  Your group name is currently "mkgroup_l_d". This indicates that not
  all domain users and groups are listed in the /etc/passwd and
  /etc/group files.
  See the man pages for mkpasswd and mkgroup then, for example, run
  mkpasswd -l -d > /etc/passwd
  mkgroup  -l -d > /etc/group

  This message is only displayed once (unless you recreate /etc/group)
  and can be safely ignored.
  cp: `Settings/E712418/group.mkgroup_l_d': specified destination directory
does not exist
  Try `cp --help' for more information.

Also, I tried logging off and logging on to see if, after the passwd file
change, the user home 
directory would appear as 
  /cygwin/home/ 
but it didn't.

As to the output of "set" executed at a windows command prompt see below.

Jed

cygwin and mkpasswd unable to recognize a domain user

[Steinman, Jethro F (PA62)]

Greetings,

I just installed cygwin and I'm having some problems using it. I have it
installed on a WINXP 2002 SP1 laptop. I'm using a domain log-in. I ran
"cycgcheck -s" to record information on the nature of my set up. The output
is attached at the bottom of this message. 

The problem I'm having is that when I start bash I get the following
message.

"Your group is currently "mkpasswd". This indicates that 
the /etc/passwd (and possibly /etc/group) files should be rebuilt.
See the man pages for mkpasswd and mkgroup then, for example, run
mkpasswd -l [-d] > /etc/passwd
mkgroup  -l [-d] > /etc/group
Note that the -d switch is necessary for domain users."

A related symptom is that doing "pwd" shows my home directory to be as
follows

/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/

When I do what the error message instructs (run mkpasswd and mkgroup) the
problem is not corrected. But if I log out and log back in, not as a domain
user but with my local administrator account, then the problem goes away.
Also, the starting directory is then where I expect it to be under
C:/cygwin/home.

Looking at the output from "mkpasswd -l -d" I see that my domain user name
does not appear, despite the fact that the computer and the domain recognize
my user id. just fine and are happy to let me do whatever I want. It almost
seems as though my log-in domain is set up in such a fashion that mkpasswd
can not recognize a class of users of which I am a member.  Everything else
probably stems from that.

It seems quite possible that there are things about our domain set up which
cygwin and mkpasswd can't understand.  I know that my user id. is registered
in a global corporate domain. More than that I can't explain as I lack the
requisite education.

I searched the archive and found the following 2 threads which discuss
similar problems but do not point directly to a solution. 

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2004-09/msg00338.html
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2004-08/msg00089.html

Am I doing something wrong?
Does this seem like a cygwin bug?
Can anyone recommend a work-around?

Regards,

Jed

Installing cygwin fails because it freezes trying to

ssh err. in win2k3: setgid invalid argument...

[Ling F. Zhang]

just ran ssh-host-config...everything went fine...

added "-r" option for priviledge separation

ssh localhost: enters password: Fan Fare! msg appear
then error:

ssh localhost
[EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: 
Last login: Tue Aug 31 02:23:55 2004 from 127.0.0.1
Fanfare!!!
You are successfully logged in to this server!!!
setgid: Invalid argument
Connection to localhost closed.

So I checked event viewer...4 new event appeared since
I ran ssh localhost...Two might hint to the error:

* Address 127.0.0.1 maps to mycomputer.mydomain.net,
but this does not map back to the address.
* syslogin_perform_logout: logout() returned an error.

So I ran ssh 192.168.0.2 (ip for my computer) and this
time, the second msg appears only...

I ran out of clues as of now...

Re: Re: sshd automatically close connection after successful login

[Ling F. Zhang]

Well, I do want privilege separation support.

So, I did the following:
cygrunsrv --remove sshd
cygrunsrv --install sshd --path /usr/sbin/sshd --args
-r --user sshd_server

and cygrunsrv asks me for password for sshd_server, I
just hit enter twice...

cygrunsrv --start sshd gives me a "logon error"

I think sshd_server has empty password, so what's up
with this logon error?

Thanx

and when i attemp to log in with "ssh localhost"
I was asked for password, then a "Connection to

Yes, I did read it. Unless I missed something, the problem is different, and

No, unfortunately not. The issue is not that ^C doesn't do anything, it is 
that it does interrupt the script, but it appears to leave what ever the 
script ran in the background.  Doing some experimenting, I found the 
following to demonstrate the problem:

foo.sh:

#!/bin/bash

/cygwin/c/Program\ Files/mozilla.org/Mozilla/mozilla/exe

foo.cmd:

"c:\Program Files\mozilla.org\Mozilla\mozilla.exe"

When running foo.sh, a ^C will terminate mozilla and return the command 
prompt.  When running foo.cmd, ^C will return the command prompt, but leave 
mozilla running.

This is easy to deal with in terms of mozilla - I can just go exit mozilla. 
But with things like WLS, killing the java processes is a PITA.

Any ideas?  Thanks

/greg

Interrupts, bash and .cmd scripts

[Gregory F. March]

Hi all...

I'm having a problem with ^C while running weblogic server in either an xterm
or rxvt. This problem does not exist when running bash in the regular cmd
window. I was advised to send this to the cygwin-xfree mailing list, but I
don't believe it is an xfree related issue. If the net.wisdom here believes
otherwise, I'll move the discussion over there...

The problem is that if I launch an xterm or rxvt and I then run the
startWeblogic.cmd script, typing a ^C will return me to the bash prompt, but
it will not kill the weblogic server I ran. The task manager will show the 
java.exe process running, and the machine responds on the WLS port.

I'm pretty sure this is not isolated to the weblogic start script, but to all 
.cmd scripts, but it is hard to tell.

When I run an xterm, I'm launching XWin using the cygwin run.exe with the
-clipboard -multiwindow options, and then launching xterm using run.exe /bin/
xterm. When I run rxvt, I just run it from a cmd window using "rxvt &".

This is on Window 2000 SP3.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

/greg

Thats unusual. Could you try just 'download from internet', not

Re: Broken package selection for a full install

Morris Walton wrote:

Thanks.  I think I figured out what was wrong.  I selected Install on
the root of the package tree, then used the view radio buttons (to see
what they are for).  I think I reselected Install on the root after
that, but I can't swear to it and can't test it at the moment (I'm in
middle of a move and project), but in three or four weeks I'll
probably

get a chance to verify if that was the problem.

[Morris] I don't see how this would be a problem?  Shouldn't "install"
work?
It *should* but it doesn't always.  The first time I installed Cygwin I 
used 'install' but got missing 'CYGxxx.dll' - type messages on the 
post-install script and attempting to run the default icon (because of 
grep which was missing libpcre, and k?which which was missing 
libkpathsea3).  Doing a reinstall on the root had the same result (I did 
the reinstall after looking at the FAQ since that was the advice for 
missing .dll messages).  I then searched the archives and discovered 
that someone had a similar problem with 'less' with a 'default' install. 
 It seems that sometimes not all dependencies are picked up, which is 
borne out by the fact that there were unselect packages, and manually 
selecting everything made the reinstall work.

Bugs: perl-libwin32-0.191-1 (Win32::Pipe->Connect) and using perl-5.8.2 open() to open an existing Win32 named pipe

[Rick F Nicholson]

I am currently writing an application that uses win32 named pipes to
communicate. The random length records being sent dictated opening
a file handle to the named pipe on the client and then using read()
to access the record. After noticing that libwin32-0.191 had been ported
to cygwin, I tried  a perl named pipe server and client that I had written
for debugging the app on ActiveState Perl-5.8.2. I noticed the following:

Win32::Pipe-Connect() is either non-blocking, doesn't get passed the timeout
value when the pipe is created or has a very low timeout value. This could
also be an interpretation problem. The behavior I had expected was that when
no client is connected, the Win32::Pipe-Connect() would wait for a client
to connect until a timeout occurs. The behavior I got was that Win32::Pipe->
Connect() returns immediately with "True" if a client is connected and "False"
if one has not.

Perl open() on the client side doesn't seem to understand using UNC to open
an existing named pipe. For example if I do the following:
open(PIPE, "<", ".\\pipe\\my named pipe"); I get an error
message:  "Mount device busy."  After trying to use open() to connect to the
named pipe, No other connections are possible. It would appear that open
is interpreting ".\\pipe\\my named pipe" as a mount request.

A perl script illustrating the problem is attached. Vital statistics are:

Add "Why doesn't ^Z (Suspend) work?" to FAQ?

[Richard F. Burleigh]

Control-Z (^Z) had never worked to suspend simple commands
(less, du -a, etc.) in my default cygwin environment.
So I spent several hours searching the Cygwin FAQ, Google, and
Cygwin mailing lists before finding the solution.  All I needed was
to set the "CYGWIN" environment variable to "tty".  (I finally
found this in the "The CYGWIN environment variable" section
of the Cygwin User's Guide).
I'd like to spare others this waste of time.  Could this
question/solution be added to the Cygwin FAQ?

domain and user localname conflict

[Ling F. Zhang]

I did the following after I install cygwin in my
laptop (WINXP PRO), which has both local account and
domain account with the same username (for example,
both have user "admin"). Looks like if I log into
Windows locally and then use cygwin, everything is
fine. When I log into domain however, I can't do
anything because I don't have permission to do
anything.

yes, I already ran:
mkpasswd -d -l > /etc/passwd
mkgroup -d -l > /etc/group

Any idea?

Re: installation freezes at /usr/bin/idle

[Ling F. Zhang]

I would like to report that I was finally able to
install cygwin with the following adjustments:

use different mirror:
I tried http://mirrors.kernel.org and
http://mirrors.rcn.net with the previous error, this
time I used
planetmirror.org

2) install everything but no source (After successful
installation, I ran setup again to install the source)

I have notice the following differences:
1) no more freezing (thankgod!)
2) in the 2 previous mirror, I get an msg warning me
about moving some folder/file out out to make way when
installing teTex, with the planetmirror, I didn't get
anything.
3) I have been using the two "problematic" mirrors for
long time and not so long ago installing cygwin to my
laptop (always have warning msg as stated in (2)
above). Maybe I should look more careful at MD5Sum for
each mirror...

Re: installation freezes at /usr/bin/idle

[Ling F. Zhang]

Hi:

I will do that as soon as I get to my computer (later
this afternoon). I would like to also point out that I
tried the following:

unselect Python during the package section phase

result:
set freezes when trying to installed rcs (which is the
next package)

I suspect that some windows service/process is
conflicting with cygwin, as I had similar freezing
problem long ago with Norton Anti-Virus Enterprise.
However this is a new installation on this computer
with win2k3 standard. The only software I got on it so
far are MS Office System 2k3.

getopt() musings

[David F]

First off, let me state the facts as I understand them:

Cygwin's libc provides an implementation of getopt() and getopt_long().

The implementation provided in Cygwin is derived from the NetBSD 
implementation of getopt_long() witch was in turn designed to be reasonably 
compatible with GNU getopt_long().

Cygwin does not use the (traditional) getopt() implementation provided with 
newlib.

getopt() is a POSIX standard.

getopt_long() is a GNU extension.

Both the GNU and NetBSD implementations of getopt_long() also provide a 
version of getopt() with additional features that are not a part of (and 
incompatible with) POSIX getopt(). One additional feature of particular 
interest is argument permutation. The POSIX definition of getopt() specifies 
that all options must appear before any non-option arguments and so any 
option-like argument (one that starts with '-')  appearing after a 
non-option argument will not be treated as an option. With argument 
permutation, on the other hand, getopt() dynamically reorders the elements 
of the argv array so as to place all options before any non-options. This 
behavior is incompatible with the POSIX definition of getopt() and no doubt 
breaks some programs that rely on the traditional/standard behavior. For 
this reason the extend versions of getopt() provide ways to disable argument 
permutation. One way is by setting the environment variable POSIXLY_CORRECT, 
another is by passing a special character at the beginning of the (short) 
option string.

Cygwin's implementation of getopt() and getopt_long() were modified to leave 
argument permutation disabled by default and only enabled when the 
environment variable POSIXLY_INCORRECT_GETOPT is defined.

Ok, those are the facts as I understand them, if I am wrong about anything I 
trust that I will be corrected with expeditious and forthright meanness. :)

Additionally, I make the following suppositions:

Argument permutation is desierable. Except, of course, when it breaks 
something.

It would be overly burdensome to explicitly enable/disable getopt() features 
on a case-by-case basis for getopt() using packages that are part of the 
Cygwin distribution.

And now for some discussion:

I am not familiar with all the details of the evolution of getopt_long(), 
but I assume that argument permutation was present and enabled by default 
fairly early. I therefore assume that programs using getopt_long() are 
either compatible with argument permutatuin or have explicitly disabled it.

So here's the idea: Leave argument permutation disabled by default for 
getopt() and enabled by default for getopt_long().

This is a win if only because many if not most GNU programs use 
getopt_long(), especially those in the coreutils package.

This would allow us the convenience of argument permutation for many 
programs while also maintaining standards compliance and compatibility. 
Right?

So it could work like this:

getopt() would have argument permutation disabled by default and only 
enabled when POSIXLY_INCORRECT_GETOPT is defined and it is not explicitly 
disabled by the calling code.

getopt_long() would have argument permutation enabled by default and 
disabled when POSIXLY_CORRECT is defined or it is explicitly disabled by the 
calling code.

Does any of this make sense?

(Note that I'm not asking anyone to implement this and I am familiar with 
the concept of "PTC". For now, I would just like to know what others think.)

Antwort: Re: compile gtk2 applications on cygwin?

[f . parzefall]

Hi,

>The patches there include gtk+ and glib and related base packages.
yeah but it's gtk2.2.1 and I need 2.2.2

Think I'll have to go for a copletely new cygwin installation.
Can anyone point me to a server that carries the complete range
of packages?
The two I tried out even lacked things like tar.  :-(
Or am I just to stupid to use this strange setup?

Thanks,
Franz

compile gtk2 applications on cygwin?

[f . parzefall]

Hi,
is there anyone out there who has successfully compiled a glade-2 or gtk2 
application on windows under the cygwin package?
I had some hard days until it went through autogen and make (mainly 
because
I did have all the things I needed) but it now copiles ok.

But when I try to start my program I get the message:

   (process:263): Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library

   (process:263): Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by Xlib

   (process:263): Gdk-WARNING **: can not set locale modifiers

   Gtk-ERROR **: Incompatible build!
   The code using GTK+ thinks GtkBox is of different
   size than it actually is in this build of GTK+.
   On Windows, this probably means that you have compiled
   your code with gcc without the -fnative-struct
   (or -mms-bitfields) switch, or that you are using
   an unsupported compiler.
   aborting...
   Aborted (core dumped)

I tried gcc2 with -fnative-struct and gcc3 with -mms-bitfields but it's 
all the same.

Anyone a clue? Seems that I got definitely stuck here.

Thanks for any input
Franz

Re: compile gtk2 applications on cygwin?

[f . parzefall]

Hi, Gerrit,
thanks for answering that fast.

>There are some gnome2 patches available, there is xlocale used where
>it is needed, see here for a starting point:
>http://cygnome2.sourceforge.net/test-patches/

I don't think that I need gnome at all because I built the program 
in glade as a gtk-project not a gnome-project. But I admit that I 
never testet on a completely gnomefree linux box.

So far I tried with your gtk build (at least I found some message of 
you stating that this is from you) from http://anfaenger.de/cygwin/gtk+/. 
Mainly because I need the newest gtk version because the olders have 
a bug in the treeview-widget. I suppose you have succesfully compiled 
and run applications on it. Do you have any 'hello world'-like 
test-projects
around? Maybe it's just my installation that is broken.

If possible I'd like to stay out of compiling the whole gtk stuff.

Thanks,
Franz

login shell and .bashrc

[Ling F. Zhang]

I still don't quite understand the different b/t bash
and bash --loginbut I know the latter is why my
.bashrc does not run when I run cygwin using this
batch file:
==
@echo off
SET DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0
SET CYGWIN_ROOT=\cygwin
SET
PATH=%CYGWIN_ROOT%\bin;%CYGWIN_ROOT%\usr\X11R6\bin;%PATH%;.

REM I use exceed as my xserver:
start /D"C:\Program
Files\Hummingbird\Connectivity\8.00\Exceed\" exceed

run xterm -sb -bg rgb:20/20/20 -fg rgb:ff/ff/00
-geometry 90x65 -T 'X-Terminal' -e /usr/bin/bash
--login -i
=

is the --login option even necessary? I simply put it
there for the sake of keeping it consistent with
cygwin.bat anyway...

thank you

I reinstalled gcc, gcc-mingw, and mingw-runtime after which there is

My sincerest newbie apologies. The output is in my previous reply.

Sorry for multiple posts, but for some reason previous post only

Problem including MinGW's float.h

[Stuart F. Downing]

I'm trying to compile code that calls _controlfp which is declared in
/usr/include/mingw/float.h, but when I include float.h, gcc doesn't
find the mingw float.h first, it finds the gcc header first.

Here is the code


#include 

int main()
{
unsigned int uiFPControl;
unsigned int uiFPNewControl;

uiFPControl = _controlfp( 0 , 0 );
uiFPControl |= _EM_ZERODIVIDE;
uiFPNewControl =  _controlfp( uiFPControl , _MCW_EM );
}


gcc -v -mno-cygwin -c foo.c

produces this...

unsigned int uiFPNewControl;

uiFPControl = _controlfp( 0 , 0 );
uiFPControl |= _EM_ZERODIVIDE;
uiFPNewControl = _controlfp( uiFPControl , _MCW_EM );
}


Clearly from the include order in the -v output and -E output, the
compiler is not finding the mingw float.h first.  Looking at float.h,
it #include_next's float.h, so clearly it is designed to supercede the
system header.

I'm able to work around this by explicitly adding -I/usr/include/mingw
to the command line, but this produces an ugly warning message...

cc1: warning: changing search order for system directory "/usr/include/mingw"
cc1: warning:   as it has already been specified as a non-system directory

I'm using the 1.3.22-1 cygwin setup/install and installed both gcc
3.2-3 and gcc-mingw.

Is this an installation problem?

Re: cygwin and the rest of the Windows

[Ling F. Zhang]

Just based on what I have learned so far...I figure
out a more geniune way of how this works:
in cygwin, I made a shell script quo that goes like:
#!/usr/bin/bash
# this program takes user input (STDIN) and put a
quote around it...
# why do I have to do this? well, I can't figure out a
way in dos batch that would do the same...since using
echo autometically adds a "\n" at the end...
printf "\"";
while read LINE
do
  printf "$LINE";
done
printf "\"";

and I wrote something called "bashwin.bat" that goes
like:

@echo off
REM this program is used so that executable in cygwin
written in shell or perl or whatever, can be executed
in Windows command
REM just associate this file in explorer with whatever
you want to run (e.g. .pl, .sh)
cygpath -u %1 | bash -c "quo" > tmp
bash --loging < tmp
del tmp

so now, at command prompt, I can type printenv.pl or
test.sh and they will executeas if they were in
cygwin, with POSIX path of course...

the problem is, they still won't work as cgi script...
I got a 500 error (or 500 somthing..) and apache
error.log (apache 2.x for win32) reads like:
[Mon Jun 23 03:41:45 2003] [error] [client 127.0.0.1]
(720003)The system cannot find the path specified.  :
couldn't create child process: 720003: printenv.pl
[Mon Jun 23 03:41:45 2003] [error] [client 127.0.0.1]
(720003)The system cannot find the path specified.  :
couldn't spawn child process: C:/Program Files/Apache
Group/Apache2/cgi-bin/printenv.pl
[Mon Jun 23 03:43:31 2003] [error] [client 127.0.0.1]
(720003)The system cannot find the path specified.  :

(720003)The system cannot find the path specified.  :
couldn't spawn child process: C:/Program Files/Apache
Group/Apache2/cgi-bin/test.sh

now...that I think has to do with the mixed up of
windows path and cygwin path...anyone can figure out
how to do this?

what does this ` character do? just curious, maybe I
should read the POSIX manual

Re: cygrunsrv won't start apache

[Ling F. Zhang]

Hi:

/var/logs/cygwin_apache.log is empty
and the event log has nothing either...
what is interesting is that search the web for this
problem yield that some peole has the problem with
sshd due a access privilege to the \cygwin,
\cygwin\var, \cygwin\var\log...but my sshd is runnin'
just fine...so that kind of run out the privilege
problem because I use the same user
"SYSTEM:Administrators" for both!

any more hints?

thanx

Re: cygwin and the rest of the Windows

[Ling F. Zhang]

okay, a summary of what I am doing:
case 1:
c:\cygwin\bin\perl.bat reads:

@echo off
c:\cygwin\bin\bash --login -c "/usr/bin/perl %1 %2 %3
%4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9"

associating the .pl file with
c:\cygwin\bin\perl.bat %1

and the perl file begins with:
#!/usr/bin/perl

one command line, I ran:
c:\program files\apache
group\apache2\cgi-bin\printenv.pl
and get the error:
Files\Apache: line 1: C:Program: command not found
OKAY, this looks like caused by the different b/t
winFS and POSIXsince Igor said he was successful
in this mode, can you point out what's the problem?

case 2:
associating .pl file with
c:\cygwin\bin\bash -c %1
and the file begins with
#!/usr/bin/perl
I get the same error as case 1...

case 3:
the only way I can now run the .pl file from command
line is:
c:\path with space\\cygwin\bin\bash -c printenv.pl

but what I really want is:
to run .pl file like normal in windows command prompt:
i.e. c:\path with space\printenv.pl
WITHOUT using a native windows perl interpretor (like
ActivePerl)
if this is not possible, at least I should be able to
run it as a cgi-script...

thanx for all your help so far igor...I am just a
little slow on this right now...

when I run this in cygwin:
bash --login perl, I get the error:
/usr/bin/perl: No such file or directory
simiarly if I run the perl.bat as your suggested, I
get similar error claiming that /usr/bin/perl is not
found...okay, I am confused here...

so I did...and (in DOS) I try this:
\cygwin\bin\bash -c printenv.pl
/usr/bin/perl: line 1: printenv.pl: command not found
(my first line is the usual "#!/usr/bin/perl")

you told me to be aware of path changes in the two
system...now I am confused...which one should I use?

what is -c? if I use this option, should it be:
#!/usr/bin/perl?
or
#!c:\cygwin\usr\bin\perl?
my guess is the former, since we are already
interpreting the file with bash...

yeah, but I got other issue with it...

Re: cygwin and the rest of the Windows

[Ling F. Zhang]

Let me re-cap what you just said:
create a perl.bat with line:
"c:\cygwin\bin\bash --login /usr/bin/perl %1 %2 %3 %4
%5 %6 %7 %8 %9"

which will work as my perl interpreter...
and associate my .pl files with this perl.bat

if I want to use shell script as well, then I suppose
I would need to associate my .sh files with
c:\cygwin\bin\bash --login...is this correct???

so when I do my programming, I should keep in mind
that I only have the cygwin filesystem to access
right?
so if I want to point to a file /home/admin/foo, I
would use /home/admin/foo, and not
c:\cygwin\home\admin\foo.  Is this correct???

I successfully ran both the cygwin apache (1.3x) and
windows native one (2.x).  So I need to chose one to
run (as they wouldn't share port 80)...sine I usually
do my cgi in perl and shell-script, cygwin is the
clear choice...but I do miss such feature as WebDAV in
the version 2 (I didn't feel like recompiling apache

Re: Mozilla vis-à-vis Cygwin

[Michael F. March]

I posted the same thing last month and no one seems to care.

http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-05/msg00599.html

Hi,

A while back there was some talk about the feasibility of a Cygwin-based 
Mozilla. In perusing the release notes for Mozilla 1.4 
(<http://www.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla1.4rc1/>) I noticed this:

- As of Mozilla 1.4b, it is possible to build Mozilla for Win32 using 
GCC. See the win32 build instructions 
(<http://www.mozilla.org/build/win32.html>) for details.

Perhaps this represents a meaningful portion of a the porting work 
necessary to create a GCC- / Cygwin- / X-based Mozilla variant.

I apologize for the negative tone in my last post..

Anyway.. I guess what I expected from my May 10th "FYI" was at least
a private email or two from people who would be interested on working
such a project. From now on I will try to be more clear.

Performance was just an example.

The big issue, I guess, is just seeing what is broke. If Mozilla builds
and runs super slow, that is still a big win..
Off the top of anyone's head, is there any major reason why it should not
build?
Functionality, it seems, has been the priority over speed in Cygwin
land. So just making Mozilla function under Cygwin would be a good
thing..
Having Mozilla itself running under Cygwin might not be useful
to a lot of people but the fixes that Cygwin might have to go
through to make this happen could pave the way for other X apps
that come later.

This might be a poor example but the reason I would, at least, like
to try Mozilla under Cygwin is the same reason I use Emacs and
Apache under Cygwin. The native versions might perform better but
I like the integration of the Cygwin ports.
Anyway, I am going to try it this weekend. Lets hope for the best.

Re: Mozilla 1.3 built on cygwin?

[Michael F. March]

Jeff,

Just outta' curiosity, beyond the satisfaction of accomplishing it, 
what would be gained?


well you could ssh into your windows machine and run mozilla remotely 
from your xterminal ...

umm - okay so thats not much of a gain... but...

First off, I have said it before and I'll say it again, Evolution from
Ximian needs to be ported to Cygwin..
Anyway..

There would be A LOT to be gained from having a Cygwin port of Mozilla.

1. You could easily hack on features the Windows and Unix source
trees if Mozilla ran via Cygwin. Also, you could build Mozilla
on Windows without having to use any MSFT products.
2. Having a complex GUI app like Mozilla ported to Cygwin could
prove to be a stick in which to measure and compare the over
all efficiency and performance of Cygwin. If the "native"
Mozilla and the Cygwin version performed reasonably the same,
then we would know that Cygwin is on track. If the Cygwin
version lagged, it would set concrete goals for the
Cygwin/XFree team.
3. I hate where and how Mozilla puts user files under native
Windows. The Cygwin port would be better... more like the Linux
port.
4. Don't underestimate how great it would be to be able to
X in an check your email. Better yet, be able to run more
than one user at a time be able to X in and check their
email.
As a long time Windows Mozilla user, I would welcome a Cygwin version
with open arms.
Finally.. Every major porting effort that Cygwin goes to does not
kill or hurt Cygwin, it makes it stronger and more functional.

user homepath

[Ling F. Zhang]

by default win2k installation, all user have their
path at:
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\

if I want user to share the same path in cygwin, sould
creating a symbolic link in /:
ln -s /cygdrive/c/Documents\ and\ Setting/ /home

suffies???

another question is really windows 2000 related...I
renamed my "Administrator" account to "Admin" but all
my stuff are still in
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator
how do I migrate it completely (file and registry and
any other necessity) to
C:\Documents and Settings\Admin???
or better yet:
C:\Cygwin\home\Admin???
(if the latter, I have to do the same for all users)

I am using Win2k Pro. btw.

cygwin and ntsec

[Ling F. Zhang]

right after installation of cygwin, the cygwin
filesystem is mostly under user Administrators (the
user I use is Admin, which is just renaming the
default Administrator of Win2k) and group None...
While I am not sure if None is a group, I am pretty
damn sure that Administrators is a group in my win2k
machine and not a userwhat's up with that???

I checked /etc/passwd and found that "Administrators"
and "Admin" are both well-defined user and am
wondering how come cygwin uses Administrators (again,
a group in win2k) by default?
would
"find / -user Administrators -group none -exec chown
Admin:PowerUser {} \;"
do any harm? (because I did it)

exceed and xfree

[Ling F. Zhang]

well, this is more or less like a windows/dos problem:

I do not like the cygwin dos window, so everytime I
run cygwin, I go straight to open an xterm with my own
color and size...
but I do not like the cygwin xserver either because it
either have to be in a big window or full
screen...well, I still have to work with my win2k darn
it!
so, I use exceed..

So, I changed startxwin.bat so that it opens up an
xterm only, of course, I need to have exceed running
before hand...

so here's the question: what code do I add to
startxwin.bat so that it detect if exceed is running
already and run it before running xterm if not

here's another question: is it possible for cygwin's
xserver to use the native windows manager (like cygwin
does) and do have to be so annoying big everytime??

Thanx

.profile and xterm

[Ling F. Zhang]

Just starting to play with cygwin.  I edited my
.profile to do some nice aliases, setting PATH and
bashprompt...
but I realize that as soon as I start a terminal using
xterm (I am using exceed as my Xserver, but shouldn't
matter) all the alias are gone (such as ls=ls
--color=auto, which is handy...), and I need to
deliberately source .profile again...any fix???

Why does declare getopt_long()?

[David F]

I recently re-ran setup.exe and upgraded the packages I have installed and 
was surprised to find that many of my projects no longer build with Cygwin. 
They now fail with an error regarding the redefinition of struct option. 
These projects use getopt_long() which is of course not portable; so I 
provide an implementation (copied from NetBSD) along with my other project 
source files and #include “getopt.h” where necessary. (Yes, ideally I should 
have a ./configure and use the system’s copy if it provides one, but I still 
don’t understand why it’s declared in .) The problem occurs when 
 is also #included as it now also provides a definition of struct 
option. (Cygwin’s getopt.h and the getopt.h in my projects use different 
guard macros.)

For reference, I’ll quote the entire contents of :

 cut here 
/* unistd.h for Cygwin. */
#ifndef _UNISTD_H_
#define _UNISTD_H_
# include 
# define __UNISTD_GETOPT__
# include 
# undef __UNISTD_GETOPT__
#endif /* _UNISTD_H_ */
 cut here 
It seems that previously  provided declarations for getopt() 
and its associated ints (but *not* for getopt_long() and its associated 
paraphernalia) and now it just #includes  when __CYGWIN__ is 
defined. Which is weird because  also #includes . But 
when  includes  it uses some preprocessor magic to avoid 
declaring getopt_long(); or rather it tries to, as that magic is now 
rendered useless by the previous inclusion of .

I checked glibc 2.3.1’s  and it uses a similar preprocessor 
mechanism to declare getopt() (but not getopt_long()) by including 
.

So my question is why does  declare getopt_long()? What precedent 
is there for declaring getopt_long() in ? Normally, if you want 
getopt_long() you have to #include .

Checking the CVS log I see that the change (to ) was made on 
Sat Dec 28 23:20:47 2002 UTC by cgf with the following log entry:

* libc/include/sys/unistd.h: Under cygwin, just include getopt.h rather than
defining getopt directly.
newlib’s  contains declarations for getopt() and I understand 
the desire to not duplicate the declarations in Cygwin’s , but 
 is now included twice every time you #include . Given 
this and the, AFAICT, unprecedented namespace pollution, I propose the 
following patch:

--- sys/unistd.h.orig   2003-02-08 12:11:52.0 -0500

less 378 still not anchoring to \

[f]

Hello,

I just reinstalled "less" from the cygwin site.
It still doesn't seem to anchor to word boundaries
using regex(3) rules i.e. \ doesn't
match anything, as does .   I read
a posting suggesing a solution by using perl
syntax (apparently):

   /\bSomeWord\b

That works, but is there a known reason why
the regex notation doesn't work?  I'd like to
avoid surprises.

Thanks.

Fred

Re: Example perl code & newgroup charters (SOLVED)

Hi,

Please ignore my previous posting.  Perls is behaving
exactly as intended.  My brain is just dead, that's all.

Hello,

I'm using Perl v5.6.1 built for cygwin-multi.
It runs on cygwin  1.3.19-1.  I'm going thru
some example code in "man perlintro":

All it prints is


Scalars begin with a $



I don't want to jump to conclusions
and say it's wrong, but it sure seems
strange for the point being illustrated.
Is it correct?  If not, what might be
wrong?  Do other users of this perl
version (and/or cygwin version) have
the same problem?

I tried to find the charter for these
newsgroups via google (searching for
charter in the subject line, as well
as in general for some of the groups).
Can anyone refer me to this?  Thanks.

Fred

ps2epsi problem

[f]

Hello,

I'm having trouble using ps2epsi on a PS file
that is one page in a multipage PDF file.  Works
fine if I use ps2epsi on a PS of the whole document, but
that creates a single EPS with material from all
the pages piled on top of each other.  If I use
the -sOutputFile=SomeName%d.epsi, it generates
the individual pages as EPS but no tiff preview.

To get ps2epsi working with the 1-page PS,
I did the fix in
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2001-08/msg01003.html
but it still complains with the same error:


%%[ Error: invalidaccess; OffendingCommand: put ]%%
GNU Ghostscript 7.05: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1


The script differs from the one our solaris 8, since
cygwin's gs is 7.05 while our solaris version is 5.10.

I tried printing the 1-page PS file on solaris,
which works well with ps2epsi on solaris.  I
downloaded the 1-page PS to cygwin, but it
causes


Error: /invalidaccess in --put--


and regurgitates the stack.

I even downloaded the ps2epsi script from
solaris (it had minor differences), but got the
same error.

I would like to avoid using the our solaris
ps2epsi because it doesn't seem to respect
the -sOutputFile=SomeName%d.epsi.  So
it would be great if I could get this to work
on cygwin.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Fred

Re: cygwin, emacs, mozilla

[Michael F. March]

I am amazed that, considering the warm fuzzy loving relationship
between Microsoft and Netscape/Mozilla, they continue to use VC. I 
would expect them to lean over backwards to move over to gcc.

They are indeed, but converting the big build process from VC to gcc 
is not so easy an operation ^_^

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=134113

BTW: of course they would like some help ;-)

Maybe the first step would be to get Mozilla to compile under Cygwin 
using X instead of
using all the Windows APIs directly (like what they are trying to do in 
that Bugzilla ticket
above.)  In fact, getting Evolution and Mozilla working under 
XFree86/Cygwin would be
two worth while efforts.

pasting clipboard always adds carriage return

[f m]

Hi,

I'm using cygwin-1.3.12-4 on WinME.
I find that when I cut something
from the cygwin window, it always
has a carriage return at the end
regardless of what application I
paste it into.  This only happens
for text copied to the clipboard
from a cygwin window.  I have
checked "Quick Edit" and unchecked
"Fast Pasting".  I can't find anything
about this in the FAQ, cygwin mailing
list archive, or google.  Is there
a way to prevent this?

Thanks.

Fred
