It's micro-optimization, sure, but having Perl stat non-existent

only issue.

No, I did not count them manually.

I wrote a simple script in Perl to generate these.

The 3 base directories with 0 files under them don't exist. For one example

These examples are all from a Perl installation I did this evening, with no

Perhaps the perl package build could benefit from adding:

KEEPDIRS="$PERL_ARCHLIB $PERL_LIB $PERL_SITELIB $PERL_VENDORARCH 
$PERL_VENDORLIB"

where:

PERL_ARCHLIB=/usr/lib/perl5/5.40/x86_64-cygwin-threads

PERL_SITELIB=/usr/local/share/perl5/site_perl/5.40

PERL_VENDORLIB=/usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/5.40

for the benefit of those who do not install many perl packages?


One further anomaly: In output of cygcheck:

Minor flaws in the Cygwin Perl installation; missing directories (Perl 5.40.0-1)

[Soren via Cygwin]

The Perl interpreter uses directories contained in the internal array @INC to
find libraries. Cygwin's Perl 5.40.0-1 installation leaves several
directories uncreated but listed in @INC.
Like so (from $perl -V):

@INC:
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.40/x86_64-cygwin-threads
/usr/local/share/perl5/site_perl/5.40

Re: New installation of Cygwin64: xinit.sh exit code 3

[Frank-Ulrich Sommer via Cygwin]

I seem to have almost excatly the same problem except that I could not solve it 
by removing the Cygwin-X folder. In this case during the reinstallation of the 
xinit package the folder is recreated again and then the original error message 
(xinit.sh exit code 3) reappears. The directory again has strange permissions  
when checked with Windows Explorer and I am not allowed the enter it or see its 
contents before resetting the security settings.

When doing an "ls -l" (within Cygwin) in the "Start Menu" folder the group and 
owner for the Cygwin-X directory seem to be reversed compared to other folders manually created 
from Windows Explorer (i.e. the user name appears in the group column and vice versa) but I'm not 
sure if this is important:

d---rwxr-x+ 1 myusername Administratoren    0 May 10 02:27  Cygwin-X

For all other folders the group is displayed before the username.

I had to fix the security settings for the Cygwin-X folder and then manually execute the last two 
"mkshortcut" commands from "/etc/postinstall/xinit.sh" (replacing $CYGWINFORALL with 
"-A" and ${wow64} with an empty string).

Should this be the only problem and should my "fix" be correct? And is there 
anything I can do to help find the cause for this problem?

I'm guessing the Permissions glitch resulted from some local

Re: Change for the initial installation of Cygwin to set the default terminal terminal 256 color

That's an upstream issue: the HDF Group still recommends to build with
autotools on UNIX platforms (which Cygwin is most closely aligned to),
but does not provide pkgconfig files in that build yet.  Even with the
cmake build the .pc content was/is incorrect and causes breakage
elsewhere.

https://github.com/HDFGroup/hdf5/issues/8

So if you want to see this in Cygwin, please prod / help upstream to
fix this.

Hi Kyle

the package is NOT built using cmake but is using autoconf.
There are no special change. So upstream have not included those files
in the 1.12.3 autoconf

I have not yet tried to build using cmake nor built the 1.14.x series

HDF5 Installation

Howdy!

Looking at the list of files
<https://cygwin.com/packages/x86_64/libhdf5-devel/libhdf5-devel-1.12.3-1>
for the 2024 HDF5 installation 1.12.3
<https://cygwin.com/packages/summary/libhdf5-devel.html>, I notice that
neither the pkg-config or cmake files are installed. For reference,
mingw's installation
of hdf5 <https://packages.msys2.org/package/mingw-w64-x86_64-hdf5> has them
here:


   - /mingw64/lib/cmake/hdf5-targets.cmake
   - /mingw64/lib/pkgconfig/hdf5.pc

Are these installed elsewhere? If not, what's preventing them from
being installed, or what can I do to help them be installed?

I wouldn't use this as a good example of how to do things, as it's

to do the actual installation.



But to answer the question actually asked, no, there is no specific

However, there is information on the command line options that setup 
supports (linked to from [2]), and generally using '-q' and '-P 
packagelist' can perform an automated installation.



What do you think more specific documentation could usefully say? 
Patches or suggested words are welcome.

Appveyor CI provides a cygwin environment. You could try to find how 
they do it.

the source code of the Cygwin build server is here

   https://cygwin.com/cgit/cygwin-apps/scallywag/

It builds cygwin packages and eventually also install them,
It creates the proper development environment installing the
needed package for every instance

log of the outcome are available at

 https://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/jobs.cgi

Select 'keep' mode in the radio buttons in the upper right of the

Re: Cygwin is hanged while installation

If this is a first installation, and/or you have (re)installed many (new)
packages at the same time, this process may take long time.
Plus, certain antiviruses could slow it down to a crawl, considering the
script has to open and possibly modify each executable file in the
installation.
Try to install just base set of packages for the starter, and incrementally
add packages you are missing for your daily work.

RE: EXTERNAL SENDER: offline installation of cygwin is impossible

[Dale Lobb via Cygwin]

Lol, I copied some of the commands below from a cygwin terminal window from a 
shell script.  It looked fine before I sent it, but apparently the lack of 
CR-LF combos did a number on outlook.  Here it is again with the correct line 
CRLF line endings:

1. Create a Cygwin install directory and cd into it.  Download the latest 
Cygwin installer to this directory:

# mkdir Cygwin
# cd Cygwin
# wget --no-check-certificate https://www.cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe

2. Create an exclusions file.  This file should exclude any file types and 
whatever else you do not want in the new local repository. The following 
excludes source code and debug symbols:

# echo *-src.tar.*>  rsync_copy.exclusions
# echo *-debuginfo*>> rsync_copy.exclusions

3. Create a local repository mirror directory with syntax that matches one of 
the methods used for accessing an internet based Cygwin repository.  This 
should be under your Cygwin install directory.  Cd into the new directory. E.g.:

# mkdir ftp%3a%2f%2fmirrors.kernel.org%2fsourceware%2fcygwin%2f
# cd ftp%3a%2f%2fmirrors.kernel.org%2fsourceware%2fcygwin%2f

4. Use the rsync protocol (Actual rsync, not ssh) to download the data to your 
new local repository:

# rsync -av --progress rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/sourceware/cygwin/unsupported 
./
# rsync -av --delete --exclude-from=../rsync_copy.exclusions --progress 
rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/sourceware/cygwin/noarch  ./
# rsync -av --delete --exclude-from=../rsync_copy.exclusions --progress 
rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/sourceware/cygwin/x86_64  ./

5. Copy the entire Cygwin tree you just created to a CD ISO or flash drive.  
You now have a portable Cygwin installation.

Best Regards,

Dale Lobb

RE: EXTERNAL SENDER: offline installation of cygwin is impossible

[Dale Lobb via Cygwin]

  This works for me to make a local installation repository:

  All of the following assumes you have a working cygwin install on a machine 
that has internet access.

1. Create a Cygwin install directory and cd into it.  Download the latest 
Cygwin installer to this directory:

# mkdir Cygwin
# cd Cygwin
# wget --no-check-certificate https://www.cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe

2. Create an exclusions file.  This file should exclude any file types and 
whatever else you do not want in the new local repository. The following 
excludes source code and debug symbols:

# echo *-src.tar.*>  rsync_copy.exclusions
# echo *-debuginfo*>> rsync_copy.exclusions

3. Create a local repository mirror directory with syntax that matches one of 
the methods used for accessing an internet based Cygwin repository.  This 
should be under your Cygwin install directory.  Cd into the new directory. E.g.:

# mkdir ftp%3a%2f%2fmirrors.kernel.org%2fsourceware%2fcygwin%2f
# cd ftp%3a%2f%2fmirrors.kernel.org%2fsourceware%2fcygwin%2f

4. Use the rsync protocol (Actual rsync, not ssh) to download the data to your 
new local repository:

# rsync -av --progress rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/sourceware/cygwin/unsupported 
./
# rsync -av --delete --exclude-from=../rsync_copy.exclusions --progress 
rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/sourceware/cygwin/noarch  ./
# rsync -av --delete --exclude-from=../rsync_copy.exclusions --progress 
rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/sourceware/cygwin/x86_64  ./

5. Copy the entire Cygwin tree you just created to a CD ISO or flash drive.  
You now have a portable Cygwin installation.

offline installation of cygwin is impossible

[JEROME GALLIERE via Cygwin]

Hello,



I need to install cygwin on some machine not connected to internet so I did 
everything I found over the internet on the subject.

But despite I "download without installing" ALL packages from a normal machine 
(I got almost 20G) despite I transfert that to the non connected machines when 
trying to "Install from local directory" install it is just telling: "nothing 
to install/update" I tried any options and still the same.

Does that really works recently? I asked recently because any articles I found 
on subject are years ago...

In all broken links, script will look for "OldPathFragment", and if replacing
the fragment with "New\\PathFragment" produce valid existing path, it will
create a new link in place.

The first four are consequences of the fact that /bin is the same as /usr/bin 
and /lib is the same as /usr/lib.  The links in question were actually installed 
in /usr/bin or /usr/lib.  The package maintainers could avoid this issue by 
using absolute paths instead of relative ones in the symlink content, but I 
don't think it's likely to cause problems in practice.


The last two symlinks would get resolved if you installed tcl-devel and 
tcl-tk-devel.  I think it's fine to leave dangling symlinks in this situation.

There seems to be an issue with various parts of the cygwin website. Please

wow; thanks for quick response. I tried running your first command but got
the message:

awk: fatal: cannot open file ' /etc/setup/installed.db' for reading (No 
such file or directory) >
The file seems to be there and I checked my input so I do not know what 
when wrong. Any suggestions?


File name shown is ' /etc/setup/installed.db' - includes a leading space - 
do not use any quotes or add spaces in file names - or just paste the 
second line at the end of the first line, with an (unquoted) space between 
if required.


...and remove any \ continuation escape if you paste the lines together - 
that may well have been your issue!

Another question, if I may: does your procedure install both Fortran and
Dislin which are installed on the T1600? I do not see them in 
cygwin-packages-picked.txt.


The Cygwin Fortran package is gcc-fortran (gfortran/f95 symlink): you should 
see this unless you have been using a proprietary closed source compiler.
It looks like Dislin is a proprietary closed source plotting package which you 
will have to find, acquire, install, and configure separately, or migrate 
settings from your old system.



Another concern that just occurred to me is the installation of a BASIC
Cygwin installation. Does that mean that the files that I have transferred
from the old system and tuning that I have already done will have to be
redone? Can I do your cygstart step on my current configuration?
Cygwin customizations should normally be in your Cygwin /home/ directory under 
~/.directories.../ and in ~/.dotrc... files.


Copying those over to the equivalent directory, reviewing, and modifying their 
settings appropriately if required should keep your new system setup consistent 
with your old system.


If you have made any system wide common customizations under /etc/, you can 
check changes you may have made to those by running the command below on your 
old system:


$ diff -qr /etc/{defaults/etc/,} | tee ~/etc.log | less

which also saves the results summary, showing settings to be copied or compared 
in the file ~/etc.log in your home directory ~/:


* lines in ~/etc.log saying
"Only in /etc/...: file..."
indicate files that should be copied over from /etc/... on your old system to 
/etc/... on your new system;


* lines in ~/etc.log saying
"Files /etc/defaults/etc/file... and /etc/file... differ"
should be compared individually using commands like e.g.:

$ diff /etc/{defaults/etc/,}file... | tee ~/filediff | less

and a decision made whether to:
* keep the customizatio

There is a gcc4-fortran listed; so is that OK? And the old 32 bit vs new 64 bit 
is not a problem?


That will need updated to gcc-fortran - it may have been using an ancient 
package convention - you may have to check and update some package names if 
never upgraded for many years.
Cygwin is a rolling release so if you upgrade using setup at least every year or 
so, when thinsg are quiet, it will avoid you missing out when obsolete packages 
are replaced.


DISLIN is a free scientific plotting package(www.dislin.de). They have a 
download for 64 bit Cygwin so I hope that will work.  Lou


It is not free/libre/open source, and only provides a proprietary no cost 
licence for non-commercial binary download and use, so if you use it in any job, 
you must pay to license use of it for a period of time, or choose a truly free 
alternative.


The last update on that proprietary package was 18 months ago, so it may no 
longer be actively developed or supported: you should check its mailing list for 
recent activity; its status does not affect its licence.

YES, that continuation escape was it. On to the next step.  BTW does the 
fact that the old Cygwin is 32 bit, and the new Cygwin, that I have

You seem to have picked up a quoted or non-breaking space.

Your original installation is anyway too old for that to work as
intended, so please just do a fresh install and select gcc-fortran and
any other utilities you might want to use.  If aynthing went missing
you'll know soon and can install those later.

You should start by installing the gcc-fortran package via setup.

To reset all Cygwin Setup program settings rm /etc/setup/setup.rc or delete the 
file from the equivalent path relative to your Cygwin root directory under 
Windows.

Please get your own IT team to diagnose why the Cygwin Setup program is not or 
is no longer working on your system, when it worked two days earlier, and works 
on thousands of others without issues.

Your own IT team most likely have added blocks to prevent it running,

Hi Marco,

You must run service config scripts from an elevated admin shell.
Yes, I have executed using elevated admin shell but the same error I am getting.

Cron installation issue

[Anantha . Kumar]

Hi Team,

I am facing some issue while installing cron as a windows service. I have 
attached the error message and cronbug output. Could you please help us on this 
issue?

/home/_PSCGRM.ABInitioTst> cron-config
Cron is already installed as a service under account DEVINT\_PSCGRM.ABInitioTst.
Do you want to remove or reinstall it? (yes/no) yes
OK. The cron service was removed.

Do you want to install the cron daemon as a service? (yes/no) yes
Enter the value of CYGWIN for the daemon: [ntsec smbntsec]

The service can run either as yourself or under a privileged account.
Running as yourself allows better access to network drives,
but does not allow to run the crontab of other users.
On Windows2003 the SYSTEM account cannot setuid to other users.
You need to have or to create a privileged account.
This script will help you do so.
Do you want to the cron daemon to run as yourself? (yes/no) yes

Please enter the password for user '_PSCGRM.ABInitioTst':
Reenter:
Running cron_diagnose ...
WARNING: You do not currently have a crontab file.

... no problem found.

Do you want to start the cron daemon as a service now? (yes/no) yes
cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus:  Win32 error 1062:
The service has not been started.


In case of problem, examine the log file for cron,
/var/log/cron.log, and the Windows event log (using /usr/bin/cronevents)
for information about the problem cron is having.

Examine also any cron.log file in the HOME directory
(or the file specified in MAILTO) and cron related files in /tmp.

If you cannot fix the problem, then report it to cygwin@cygwin.com.
Please run the script /usr/bin/cronbug and ATTACH its output
(the file cronbug.txt) to your e-mail.

If you had over 3 year old Cygwin packages on your Windows 7 system, as
changes for POSIX compatibility were made in the builds for test releases of
gawk, grep, sed coordinated and announced together in:

https://cygwin.com/legacy-ml/cygwin/2017-02/threads.html#00152

Perhaps the issue is in whatever generated/s the files, or whatever you had
installed and in your path on Windows 7. Msys and Mingw versions of gawk may
ignore extra s on input, and may possibly also be included with Git for
Windows, or other Windows Unix-like packages.

Just out of curiosity: Could this "" issue be something new for
Windows 10?  I ask because I don't recall having this issue with my old

Input files have  \r\n  line terminators and those are
carried thru at the ends of the string fields:

$ gawk -f peak_intensity_correln_plot_compile.awk
$ file *cPuMP*.dat

terminators
Fit_Height_correln_plot_-_cPuMP_vs_2NH2-cPuMP.dat: ASCII text, with CR, LF line
terminators
$ cat -A Fit_Height_correln_plot_-_cPuMP_vs_2NH2-cPuMP.dat | head

You could change your input line terminators to "\r\n" e.g. option -vRS="\r\n",
insert '{ sub( /\r$/, ""); before each 'split(x, s, " ")', convert your input
fields from strings to numbers by adding zero i.e. cai[i] += 0; rpi[i] += 0; or

No problem with awk or gawk:

$ for ((i = 0; i < 10; ++i))
  do
printf "%d %d %d %d\n" $((i+1)) $((i+2)) $((i+3)) $((i+4))
  done > test.txt
$ awk '{print($1, $2, $3)}' test.txt
1 2 3
2 3 4
3 4 5
4 5 6
5 6 7
6 7 8
7 8 9
8 9 10
9 10 11
10 11 12

So the issue appears to be with your command line, script, or input data file:
please show the command line used to execute the script, attach the complete awk
script, and input data file for diagnosis, or selections of the latter piped
through or output using cat -A to show control characters.

Here's a wondering: Could it have to do with line endings?  If Windows
CRLF is getting in there, then the variables might get a CR in them,
which might do weird things.  This assumes those are string variables,

The script hasn't changed, but before we know it's gawk that's changed,
we need to check that the _input_ hasn't changed.  Can you show us a
sample?

Problem with output from gawk software in recent Cygwin installation

[Bryan VanSchouwen via Cygwin]

Hello.

I just tried executing an awk script using the most recent version of gawk,
but the output did not turn out the way that it was supposed to.

This script uses the following command to print the output data to the
output file:
print(cai[i], rpi[i], i) >
"Fit_Height_correln_plot_-_cPuMP_vs_2NH2-cPuMP.dat"

and previously, this command always printed the values of the three
variables on a single line, separated by spaces; however, now the gawk
software is automatically adding hard-returns between the values, resulting
in the three values being printed on separate lines within the data file.

What is going on here, and how do I permanently make it stop??

Hi,

I ran into this problem yesterday, but I had to ask our IT service for 
admin permissions before I could fiddle with my installation. Therefore 
your answer (and the OP's question) came in faster than I could even 
ask. This is just to confirm that your suggested changes fixed the 
problem here. Would it make sense to add a dependency on the fonts to 
the grace package?


regards,
Markus

Problem with "xmgrace" graphing software in recent Cygwin installation

[Bryan VanSchouwen via Cygwin]

Hello.

I recently installed a copy of the Cygwin software package on my new
Windows 10 laptop.  However, whenever I try to access the "xmgrace"
graphing software (by entering the command "xmgrace &" in the xterm command
shell, as I did on my old Windows 7 laptop), I get the following error
message:

[vansc@LAPTOP-OHN2RCVM ~]$ xmgrace &
[1] 1183
[vansc@LAPTOP-OHN2RCVM ~]$ --> Broken or incomplete installation - read the
FAQ!
[1]Exit 1xmgrace
[vansc@LAPTOP-OHN2RCVM ~]$

I tried reading the FAQ, but it was unhelpful for this particular issue.
Does anyone have any ideas about why this might be happening??  Also, if it
is an incomplete installation, then does anyone know what set of Cygwin
utilities I need to install to obtain a fully-functioning copy of the
"xmgrace" graphing software?

Thanks! I will keep that in mind in case I update to a newer version of
Cygwin before this issue is addressed.

I guess starting emacs with:
CYGWIN=disable_pcon emacs
helps in cygwin 3.1.4.

I don't know whether this is an emacs problem or a Cygwin problem.  Here 
are two things you can try:


1. Roll back the cygwin package to 3.0.7 to see if that fixes the 
problem.  If so, the problem is likely related to the pty changes in 
cygwin-3.1.x.


2. Try updating emacs to the test release for the upcoming emacs-27, 
which I will be uploading shortly.

Many Cygwin packages contain symlinks that are not generated during 
post-install.  setup handles them just fine.

Links should only be applied during build processes to allow building and
testing to complete successfully.
Build link types may not be compatible with tar or the target file system and
should not be included in packages for distribution e.g. they may only work on
systems configured for WSL and with WSL installed.
Distributed package links should be generated during post-install processing and
should fall back to file copies if links are unsupported on the target file 
system.

After reading the FAQ and comparing with a direct build from upstream sources, I
find the reason for that is that the FontDataBase file of the distributed
package is, indeed, wrong.



Apparently the type1 font directory supplied by grace was replaced by a link to
ghostscript's type1 font repository.  But the FontDataBase wasn't updated to
match this change.  This mismatch causes xmgrace to baulk.  This change was made
between revisions 5.1.24 and 5.1.25 of the cygwin package, which neatly explains

https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2018-03/msg00156.html


Yes, that's about what I figured.  The fonts supplied by xmgrace were 
replaced (in the cygport file) by a link to ghostscript's fonts, but 
then those were replaced by URW fonts, which broke xmgrace.


OTOH the particular font files xmgrace is looking for are in yet another 
place on Cygwin:


/usr/share/X11/fonts/urw-fonts

And indeed, making the /usr/share/grace/fonts/type1 symlink point there
does appear to fix the breakage.

So the minimal patch to grace.cygport (other than just leaving the type1 
directory of xmgrace alone) would be:


$ diff -uwp grace.cygport{~,}
--- grace.cygport~  2017-06-27 09:43:32.0 +0200

make_desktop_entry xmgrace Grace xmgrace

An additional/changed dependency on the urw-base35-fonts-legacy package 
would probably be needed, but I'll have to leave that to people who 
understand Cygwin packaging.

/usr/share/doc/cygwin-doc/html/cygwin-ug-net/using-cygwinenv.html
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/UNIX_Extensions#Minshall.2BFrench_symlinks

Because of potential differences from user customization of symbolic link types
thru the CYGWIN environment variable winsymlinks:{lnk,native,nativestrict} and
file system type dependencies, ranging from lack of any symlink support on
CIFS/Samba to real symlinks on NFS, symlinks are created in Cygwin package
postinstall scripts to honour customizations or work around limitations.

For both versions the link grace-->xmgrace.exe is missing.


This was most likely caused by the cygport file not doing the (rather

their own tweaking.  The 'grace' link is only created by 'make links' 
--- there is no 'grace' created in ${GRACE_HOME}/bin.  I would consider
