Yes.  It was caused by a mingw-w64 update and was fixed in commit 
c1f7c4d1.


Much thanks for that; it got past this stumbling block. After that there 
were

a bunch of GCC-10 fixes I had to find and cherry pick, and it built.

Hi Marco:
Thanks for taking a look at this.

No. As you seem to have multiple programs
that are using different cygwin1.dll, if you have
those directories on the PATH they could interfere
with each other.

Try every application with clean PATH
that does not include the other applications.



I was able to get expo (Mobile App Dev Tool) working by adding a local
install into my nodeJS project and calling it from there.
I noticed a difference in the local script vs the script in the global
install. The local script calls "node" where the global script calls
"pwsh" (which produces the error):

Call in local repo \LactFacts\lactfact_190118\node_modules\.bin\expo:
#!/bin/sh
basedir=$(dirname "$(echo "$0" |sed -e 's,\\,/,g')")
case`uname`in
*CYGWIN*) basedir=`cygpath -w "$basedir"`;;
esac
if[ -x"$basedir/node"];then
"$basedir/node""$basedir/../expo-cli/bin/expo.js""$@"
ret=$?
else
node "$basedir/../expo-cli/bin/expo.js""$@"
ret=$?
fi
exit$ret

Call to global install C:\Users\Mitch\AppData\Local\Yarn\bin\expo.ps1
#!/bin/sh
basedir=$(dirname "$(echo "$0" |sed -e 's,\\,/,g')")
case `uname`in
*CYGWIN*) basedir=`cygpath -w "$basedir"`;;
esac
if[ -x"$basedir/pwsh"]; then
"$basedir/pwsh""$basedir/../Data/global/node_modules/.bin/expo.ps1""$@"
ret=$?
else
pwsh "$basedir/../Data/global/node_modules/.bin/expo.ps1""$@"
ret=$?
fi
exit$ret

So it appears that PowerShell is choking on the script:
At C:\Users\Mitch\AppData\Local\Yarn\bin\expo.ps1:5 char:13
+ *CYGWIN*) basedir=`cygpath -w "$basedir"`;;
+ ~
Unexpected token ')'inexpression or statement.


as it is a Bash script, I am not surprised,
and "cygpath" is a cygwin utility that provides
path information relative to its own cygwin1.dll

have you tried with a clean PATH for every application ?


I don't think that will help. The expo.ps1 is using a shell expression 
and the interpreter isn't liking the syntax.  It's trying to determine 
if Cygwin is installed and if it is get a Windows path for the basedir 
variable.  It chokes on the ')' in the structure of the comparison. That 
error doesn't indicate Cygwin is installed or found.  You'll have to ask 
the expo vendor.

Try to start low.
Clear your failed install, start setup again and let it run to the end without
selecting any additional packages. It should finish fast and nice and you
should be able to run terminal and execute some simple commands like ls or
cat.
Then restart setup again and try adding a few packages.

Be aware, that certain "antiviruses" impede Cygwin's ability to operate, you'd
have to make an exception for it or uninstall them completely.
Unfortunately, Windows defender is one known to cause such issues.

That doesn't make sense.  The new code has a fallback which is identical
to the code in -0.17.  No offence, but are you *sure* you're using the
snapshot DLL?  Uname on 64 bit should print:

 $ uname -srvm
 $ CYGWIN_NT-6.1 2.4.0(0.293/5/3) 2016-01-12 14:54 x86_64

Can you re-check, please?

[...testing myself...]

Ok, so I just set up sshd on a W7 64 bit machine and I can actually
reproduce the problem with -0.18.

However, it starts to work fine for me with the snapshot!

So I added debug output to the Cygwin DLL and there's something strange
going on on W7 64.  When loading ws2_32.dll in this single instance of
logging in to sshd, the LoadLibrary call to ws2_32.dll fails in one of
the child processes with a stack overflow.  The *next* call to
LoadLibrary works fine, though.  My debug output inspected the stack.

Quick introduction for those not overly familiar with this stuff:

- AllocationBase is the memory address the stack has been reserved at.

- StackLimit is the lowest address of the committed region on the stack.
  StackLimit is always > AllocationBase and < StackBase.

- FramePointer is the value of the $ebp register which denotes the current
  stack usage in this function.  FramePointer is always > StackLimit and
  < StackBase.

- StackBase is the uppermost address of the stack, the address from where
  the stack grows downward.

Given this, low values of StackLimit mean a high stack pressure, high
values a low stack pressure.

Here are the stack values on Windows 10 before and after the LoadLibrary
call to ws2_32.dll which works on W10 and W8.1 but fails on W7:

  AllocationBaseFramePointer
 StackLimitStackBase
Windows 10:
  before: 0xFFE0 0xAE60 0xBE80 0x1
  after : 0xFFE0 0x9000 0xBE80 0x1

Windows 8.1:
  before: 0xFFE0 0xAE60 0xBE80 0x1
  after : 0xFFE0 0xAE60 0xBE80 0x1

Windows 7:
0xFFE0 0xAE60 0xBE80 0x1
0xFFE0 0xFFE01000 0xBE80 0x1
   ^^

So, before the call to LoadLibrary, the stack is completely correct, as
on W10 and W8.1.  However, after the LoadLibrary call, the StackLimit
has changed to the maximum possible value.  What does that mean?  For
some reason LoadLibrary(ws2_32.dll) took up all space available on the
stack and then failed because there was no more stack.  Interesting
enough, the *next* call to LoadLibrary then worked as expected.

Why this happens?  I have no idea.  Probably a bug in W7.

So, Ismail, please test again if you're really using the snapshot DLL.
The fact that I can reproduce the problem *and* fix it by running the
snapshot, *and* reproducibly create the error on W7, but not on W8.1
or W10 indicates to me that this sould be fixed for you as well.


Thanks,
Corinna

Sorry for that, indeed somehow it overwrite the cygwin1.dll I guess
because I ran setup.exe first and it re-installed -0.18 and then I
manually overwrited cygwin1.dll but somehow failed.

Anyhow it works now, thanks!

I am always running cygwin snapshots on this machine and yesterday
-0.17 was working fine. Now I rolled backed to 2.2.1-1 and it works
fine. Went a little bit further and cygwin1-20160109.dll works fine
where-as cygwin1-20160111.dll shows the problem.

Its running as a service, set up by ssh-host-config. No manual

What OS?  32 bit, 32 bit under WOW64 or 64 bit?  How do you start sshd?

I'm asking because

a) What I did was to revert a piece of code to the same state as in 2.2.1.
   Does the "prev" version 2.2.1 work for you?

b) It works fine for me starting sshd as a service under 2.4.0-0.18 on
   64 bit Windows 10.  Logging in works fine as well, as admin user as well
   as normal user.

If push comes to shove I revert the reversion of the patch again, but
I do hope it turns out some local problem.  Error 1001 is weird, it
means "Recursion too deep; the stack overflowed.".  In an OS function?
Just because the path is given as full path?


Thanks,

Sidenote: Here's an example where supporting XP hurts, btw.  The code

That's what time pressure does to my reading skills... sorry :}

This is a bit weird.  If 2.2.1 using the same method works, why not
2.4.0-0.18?!?

I tried to workaround this problem by "upgrading" the DLL load
mechanism to use the facilities available since Vista.  In theory
this should work fine for you.  I uploaded a new developer snapshot
to https://cygwin.com/snapshots/  Please give it a try.

The mesa software renderer on the remote host constructs the set of 
visuals the client gets offered by picking the visuals from the server's 
set of visuals which match one of it's visuals



OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 0x300)
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 8.0.4

[...]

visual  x   bf lv rg d st  colorbuffer  sr ax dp st accumbuffer  ms  cav
  id dep cl sp  sz l  ci b ro  r  g  b  a F gb bf th cl  r  g  b  a ns b eat

Unfortunately this set is small, and indeed doesn't contain any 
double-buffered visuals.


Workarounds are to use either start Cygwin X server with -nowgl (so it 
too uses the software renderer and will offer a set of visual which is 
probably exactly the same), or to run the client with the 
LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT env var set (so that indirect rendering is used 
and the remote client has access to the actual set of visuals the server 
supports)


I think the real fix to this is to fix the remote libGL, either so it 
matches visuals less precisely, or so it offers more visuals which can 
match, but this is not simple.



Believe it or not, I just so happen to have an XWin.0.log from my old,
old, old version of Cygwin.  It was:

Package: version 1.15.1-2 built 2014-05-06


Now I can reproduce this, it seems that this can be an unfortunate 
side-effect of the Improve visual matching with a remote libGL by not 
reporting pbuffer size limits change in 1.15.1-3 [1], which was 
intended to have the opposite effect, if previously no visuals at all 
were matching, so the software renderer was disabled, and we were 
falling back to indirect rendering.

 OS: Windows 7 Service Pack 1 [Windows NT 6.1 build 7601] (Win64)

 XWin was started with the following command line:

 X :0 -multiwindow

I discovered there are no visuals available to remote X connections that
support OpenGL double buffering.  There used to be, but no longer.
There are visuals available to direct connections, but not for remote.


Thanks for reporting this problem.  Unfortunately, I can't reproduce it.

Please can you attach the output of 'X -multiwindow -logverbose 3', so I 
can see what visuals the server thinks should be available, and the 
output of running 'glxinfo' on your remote system.


Can you give the version of Fedora you are using, and the version of the 
libGL package you have?



I tried looking through the FAQ for answers, but I didn't see anything.
Is this something that has intentionally changed?  Where would I find it
if it is (for future reference so I don't bug you)?


No, this is not intentional.

I guess this is an unintended consequence of a change.  It would be 
useful in tracking down that change if you could identify the last X 
server release which worked correctly.


The release announce mails are a hopefully accurate summary of intended 
changes (e.g [1])

Hello, Jon.

The version of Fedora I'm running is:

I thought the two logs that you requested were a bit large for this 
e-mail, so I put them on my web site.  You can access them as:

http://beachware.org/Cygwin/glxinfo.cygwin
http://beachware.org/Cygwin/X.log

Believe it or not, I just so happen to have an XWin.0.log from my old,

Defenitely it is not a problem of lack of discspace or something like that.
A test with the 32 bit release (Cygwin 1.7.24) worked fine without any

On W8 i had exactely the same behaviour.

Did the same thing, in my case even cygwin1.dll is gone, previous
version doesn't install either. Looking into setup.ini from various
mirrors I can see that all files have size 0. This is also consistent
with setup.log which has an error like:

Download .../x86_64/release/cygwin/cygwin-1.7.25-1.tar.bz2 wrong size

Which mirror did you try?  Did you try another mirror?  I just checked

I primarily use ftp.heanet.ie, but I tried mirrors.kernel.org and a
couple random mirrors, all of them show the same problem. For example
if you look at these directories:

http://mirrors.kernel.org/sourceware/cygwin/x86_64/
ftp://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/cygwin/x86_64/

Then you will see setup.ini having a modification time of 03:22 GMT,
which timestamp is this file on your private mirror?

Alexey.

Re: Problem with Cygwin 1.7.17 + Bash and Grep...

[Vladimir Morales]

So silly.  Used pspad to reformat as UNIX(LF) and works as expected now.

Thanks Ken.

 Tried google and found similar, but not the exact issue I'm seeing.
 I'm running Windows 7 and trying to run a simple bash one-liner using
 grep:

 [vmorales@D630-Vmorales ~]# uname -a
 CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64 D630-Vmorales 1.7.17(0.262/5/3) 2012-10-19 14:39 i686 
 Cygwin


 I'm essentially trying to take the contents of one file, and use it as
 input for a grep command against another file, but I do not get any
 results, even though I know the 2nd file contains a match.  In the
 one-liner below, I include an echo to confirm the output is in the
 variable that should be used with the grep command.

 [vmorales@D630-Vmorales ~]# for i in `cat file-a.txt`; do echo $i;
 grep $i file-b.txt; done
 alpha
 beta
 charlie
 delta
 echo

 [vmorales@D630-Vmorales ~]# grep charlie file-b.txt
 charlie,13


 This is pretty straight-forward and can't think of what I may be
 missing here.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 Maybe file-a.txt contains CRLF line endings?

Yes, don't try to build tcl/tk from the sourceware repo.  It's old, it's

Ok, thanks. Are there any other parts of the CVS source tree that I

I've been going through similar pains playing with a still not fully
functional Vista machine (still awaiting a Win7 upgrade as well).  


Even though you got the standalone X-server to work, FWIW, on
Vista, you could also be running into permission problems even as
Admin.  Many files and directories don't have write permission enabled
for Admin.  To enable them you have to 'get violent' with Vista  and
reclaim directories you want write access to by taking over their
ownership and then making it so you have r/w access.  If you do this,
take care to note the original owner and/or accesses to make sure that
any group/ID that had access before ('TrustedInstaller', 'SYSTEM') also
has the same (usually full control) access after you take ownership.

The prompt in your cygwin window being 'broken' is possibly a symptom
of that.  By default, I found that I couldn't add files to my root
directory (a good thing, actually, too many apps still try to install
stuff there, and a default no files prevents accidental clutter).

Just thought I'd add an addendum, though looks like Larry gave you
the exact solution you needed.

So do you just need the X server?  Perhaps a pure Win32 one would be easier
for you.  See http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes/.

Same reason as all the other problems.  Your postinstall scripts didn't run.

I don't see any clear indicaton why these would fail given your cygcheck output.
Are you sure that the Lenovo Client Security Solution isn't getting in your way
(i.e. http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#BLODA)?  That's all I can see/think of.
If that's not it, you may find that you can either:

  1. Just re-run 'setup.exe' again and it could fix what it tripped over 
the last time.

  2. Try 1.7 instead. http://cygwin.com/#beta-test

I'm getting the feeling that you're not used to Unix/Linux or command-line
oriented environments.  If that's the case, you may want to rethink about
using Cygwin or look up a tutorial or two on Unix/Linux to help you get
oriented.

The reason what you typed didn't work is because you are in a directory
which isn't in your path and you didn't say where to find 'cygcheck'.  You
need to do one of the following:

   1. Use the fully qualified path (i.e. c:\bin\cygcheck.exe)
   2. Use the relative path to specify the current directory (i.e. 
.\cygcheck.exe)
   3. Add c:\bin to your Windows path so you don't have to do either of 1 or 2.

This is your problem.  The postinstall scripts are failing.  Are you installing
with administrator privileges?  If not, doing so may help.  Otherwise, you can
try running the command above from the command line and see if you get

Acronyms are certainly cryptic, until you understand them.  I do go out of
my way to actually provide the links to them when I use them, as you

I'm getting the feeling that you're not used to Unix/Linux or command-line
oriented environments.  If that's the case, you may want to rethink about
using Cygwin or look up a tutorial or two on Unix/Linux to help you get
oriented.

The reason what you typed didn't work is because you are in a directory
which isn't in your path and you didn't say where to find 'cygcheck'.  You
need to do one of the following:

  1. Use the fully qualified path (i.e. c:\bin\cygcheck.exe)
  2. Use the relative path to specify the current directory (i.e. 
.\cygcheck.exe)

  3. Add c:\bin to your Windows path so you don't have to do either of 1 or 2.


The funny thing is that also ls does not work..


See above.  Same problem.


(I deleted all the old messages...is it ok ? I don't understand what I

Deleting everything can be fine, if there's no critical context.

TOFU, in general, is meant to indicate that it's preferable to trim out 
anything

that isn't helpful context in your reply and to reply in-line and/or after any
context you keep.  In other words, what I'm doing. ;-)

This is a problem with portable script programming between different shells.
Some explanations:

Shell Versions used:
AIX uses as the default  sh  shell a  ksh Version 88.
HP-UX uses as the default  sh   shell a  ksh Version 88.
Solaris uses as the default  sh  shell a non posix compatible shell.
The ksh on Solaris is mostly a Version 88, opensolaris uses a ksh 
Version 93.

Linux uses as the default  sh  shell a bash.
Older Linux versions uses a  pdksh  as a replacement for the ksh shell.
Newer Linux versions uses a  kshVersion 93.
Cygwin uses as the default  sh  shell a bash
Cygwin uses the a  pdksh  as a replacement fir the ksh shell.

Setting variables and sub shells.
If you set a variable in a sub shell, this variable usable in the 
calling shell. You can execute commands in a sub shell with the 
following syntax  (list).


The different shell executed the commands in a pipe in a different 
manner. The shells uses internally sub shells to execute the different 
commands of a pipe line.



   command1  |  command2  |  command3
is executed in this order in the different shells.
bash   :   command1  | (command2) | (command3)
pdksh  :   command1  | (command2) | (command3)
ksh:  (command1) | (command2) |  command3

So only in a ksh it is possible to set a variable in the last command of 
a pipeline and uses this variable later in the shell script.


A short example script for bash, pdksh and ksh is attached.
It includes a in all 3 shell working solution at the end.

So the solution for your problem is to use a ksh  version 93 on cygwin 
or rewrite your code more portable.

You can download a version of ksh version 93 from http://www.kornshell.com/

Dirk

Re: problem with cygwin and GLUT on Vista

[Michael McGuffin]

I ran cygcheck ./main.exe on my executable, and saw that it was trying 
to link with C:\Windows\system32\glut32.dll which I think I installed a 
while back from Nate Robins web site 
( http://www.xmission.com/~nate/glut.html 
http://www.xmission.com/%7Enate/glut.html ) and which has nothing to 
do with the glut that comes with cygwin.  So I temporarily renamed the 
glut32.dll under system32 to disable it, and ran cygcheck ./main.exe 
again, and found that now it was finding C:\cygwin\bin\glut32.dll .  Now 
my program works fine, and so do my other OpenGL+GLUT programs.  I don't 
recall this interference between glut dll files being a problem on MS 
Windows XP.  Anyway, thank you very, very much for the help!  It solved 
a problem I've had for a long time.

Perhaps you had a different $PATH. If renaming the dll in the
system directory causes problems with non-Cygwin programs and
you need to undo that workaround, then try putting /cygwin/bin/
before the msw system directory in $PATH when you run the
Cygwin glut program.

Re: problem with cygwin and GLUT on Vista

[André Bleau]

Hello Michael,

I managed to install Cygwin, its development packages and the opengl package 
on a computer running Vista Home Premium 64-bit edition with SP1 yesterday.
 
Everything runs fine: the GLUI examples, the helloGLUT test program, and your 
own 
main test program.
 
Possible causes for your problems:
 
1- BLODA. See http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.using.html#faq.using.bloda
2- Conflict between the opengl package and the libglut-devel package. If you 
have both,
try to uninstall the libglut-devel package with the setup program.
3- You have a conflicting copy of one of the dlls installed somewhere.
 
To help us help you further, you need to:
 
1- Go to the directory where your main.exe is.
2- Run: cygcheck ./main.exe
3- Send the output here. Also _attach_ the output of: cygcheck -s

Michael McGuffin  wrote:

 Hello,

Hello Michael,

 I'm using cygwin on Vista, 

Which version? 32-bit or 64-bit? with or without SP1?

 and have a problem running C++ code that contains calls to 
 GLUT routines. I've isolated the problem down to a very simple piece of code, 
 and have 
 searched the web without being able to find help.
 
 Note that I have packages opengl 1.1.0-8, freeglut 2.4.0-1, and gcc-g++ 
 3.4.4-3, 
 and uname -a outputs
 CYGWIN_NT-6.0 opticon-w 1.5.25(0.156/4/2) 2008-06-12 19:34 i686 Cygwin

The standard (and more complete) way to provide that information is to attach 
the output of 
cygcheck -s to your problem report.

Please note that there is currently a conflict between the opengl package and 
the libglut-devel
package. If you have both, you will have to uninstall one of them. See:
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-11/msg00033.html

 Here's the problem, as best as I can isolate it. If I create a file called 
 main.cpp containing 
 the following code:
 
 
 #include 
 #include 
 
 
 int main( int argc, char *argv[] ) {
   if ( argc 100 ) {
 // glutInit( argc, argv );
  glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
   }
   char str[100];
   printf(Enter a string:);
   scanf(%s,str);
 }
 and then I compile it with
 
 g++ -o main main.cpp -lm -lglut32 -lglu32 -lopengl32

This is just plain C, not C++. Can you rename it main.c and recompile with:

gcc -o main main.cpp -lglut32 -lglu32 -lopengl32

This would clear-up if it is an issue with the stdc++ library.

 and then run the code without any arguments, it runs fine (note that the call 
 to glClear() 
 never happens). However, if I uncomment the call to the glutInit() routine 
 and comment the
 glClear() call,
 
 
 #include 
 #include 
 
 
 int main( int argc, char *argv[] ) {
   if ( argc 100 ) {
  glutInit( argc, argv );
  // glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
   }
   char str[100];
   printf(Enter a string:);
   scanf(%s,str);
 }
 
 and compile the same way and run again without any arguments, Windows Vista 
 gives me an error message with the following details:
 
 
 Nom d'événement de problème:APPCRASH
 Nom de l'application:   main.exe
 Version de l'application:   0.0.0.0
 Horodatage de l'application:49103229
 Nom du module par défaut:   ntdll.dll
 Version du module par défaut:   6.0.6001.18000
 Version du module par défaut:   4791a7a6
 Code de l'exception:c022
 Décalage de l'exception:9cac
 Version du système: 6.0.6001.2.1.0.256.4
 Identificateur de paramètres régionaux: 3084
 etc.

Your example compiles and runs fine for me under XP SP3.

 
 Note, again, that the call to glutInit() never happens. I suspect that simply 
 linking with GLUT somehow causes a problem, perhaps in some initialization 
 of GLUT.
 

Then try one of the precompiled examples. What happens if you run
/usr/lib/glui-examples/example6 ?

 Note that I have tried running the main.exe as administrator (by right 
 clicking on 
 main.exe and choosing the run as administrator option from the right-click 
 menu), and I 
 get the same error message as when I try running main.exe from a cygwin shell 
 prompt.
 
 Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I don't have a Vista machine with Cygwin installed right now. It might take a 
week before I 
get one. When I do, I will report back here.

  Probably your .exes lost the -x permission bit.  You need to make sure they

If you try simpler commands, does it work? I mean:
XWin (you should get an X icon in the system tray and an ugly gray

XWin -multiwindow (just the icon)

We prefer the term gifted to special.

But, seriously, there is no simple answer to your question.  Cygwin
obviously manages to start all manner of normal Windows programs.  It
uses the standard Windows API to accomplish this so there is no way to
know why ClearCase would not be reacting well without quite a bit of
code investigation and, possibly, without help from ClearCase

Thank you for your excellent suggestion.



On a side note, I've noticed that (a) ClearCase inserts itself into the 
front of the path, (b) ClearCase provides a hostname program that is a 
GUI application, anc (c) configure scripts get REALLY confused when 
'hostname' forks off a GUI programs and returns an empty string.

 Dear Sir/Madame,

 Recently I have problem uninstalling cygwin snapshot 20070813 in Windows

 I already follow uninstalling procedure from Cygwin FAQ but  the error
 happen permission denied can't delete cyglsa.dll.  When I look at cygwin

  dont delete, otherwise you will not be able to login!
  restore it to the default value:

 It's clear that Windows using cyglsa.dll, so I think deleting this
 registry entry maybe solve the problem. I run regedt32 with admin
 account (runas /user:computername\admin regedt32) back-up my registry in
 case something wrong, deleting this entry keys, restarting computer and
 delete cygwin along with  cyglsa.dll. But the problem come when i
 restarting windows it's acts strange i can't drag-drop icon in desktop,
 can't restoring file from recycle bin, can't paste file. When i try to
 look at system services almost all crucial services stopped (windows
 can't load services).

 Would someone provide a pointer or what is in my uninstalling prosedure

Thx for the solution, its work nice
btw IMHO its make cygwin uninstallation to hard when cygwin make to much change 
to this level (registry) maybe good idea to make more clean and easy

Re: Problem suspending Cygwin-based GDB from Eclipse/CDT (and some findings)

[Stefan Bylund]

Hi again,

I got a response on my cross-post to the CDT mailing list from Doug 
Schaefer, the CDT lead, where he said that the SIGINT handling in Cygwin 
changed sometime last year and that there are newer builds of CDT 3.2.1 
that has adapted to the new of handling SIGINTs in Cygwin. I tried it 
and it works :)


So, I guess we can close this issue.

Best Regards,
Stefan Bylund

Hi,

We have a source code debug solution based on Eclipse / CDT / GDB / 
GCC / Cygwin DLL. We are using Eclipse 3.2.2 / CDT 3.1.2 / GDB 6.3 / 
GCC 3.4.4 / Cygwin DLL 1.5.19-4 (cygwin1.dll).


Until now, we have only supported Windows XP but recently we were 
forced to upgrade to a newer version of the cygwin1.dll (1.5.24-2) 
since we had to support Windows Vista, and Cygwin-based GCCs didn't 
work correctly with cygwin1.dll 1.5.19-4 on Windows Vista due to heap 
errors in cygwin1.dll. However, GDB works fine with cygwin1.dll 
1.5.19-4 on Windows Vista.


Unfortunately, I just discovered that suspending GDB from Eclipse/CDT 
no longer works. So I tried all versions of the cygwin1.dll from 
1.5.19-4 to the forthcoming 1.5.25-3 and found that starting from 
version 1.5.20-1, the signal handling in cygwin1.dll seems to have 
changed in such a way that suspending GDB from Eclipse/CDT no longer 
works. Note that versions before 1.5.19-4 of the cygwin1.dll also 
works correct with respect to suspending GDB from Eclipse/CDT.


By searching the cygwin mailing list, it seems that it is a general 
problem when trying to programatically send a SIGINT from one process 
to another process.


I looked at the cygwin change list from 1.5.19-4 to 1.5.20-1

Is there anything I can do to help in finding out why versions

nothing else, I can at least help out with testing.

The perl Net::Ping module had a similar problem (see
http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=42739 for details).

These suggestions were implemented by the creation of the
Win32::PingICMP module which taps icmp.dll to circumvent the you must
be admin limitation.

I have neither the ability nor the desire to look in to recreating in
cygwin what icmp.dll and Win32::PingICMP do for Windows and perl.

I'm just letting other folks know that it is probably possible and
perhaps not that painful.

I tried the following things:


mkpasswd -l  /etc/passwd

this failed with mkpasswd (264): [5] Access is denied. (see attached

so I also tried

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.

and my home directory is set to /cygdrive/h (?)

I would appreciate any help,
especially soothing would be to find that my home directory is at

the same as it would have been had I been a local rather than a domain user



Your home directory is coming from the Windows domain information.  You can
change it to be whatever you want either by specifying the 'p' flag to
'mkpasswd' or by editing the '/etc/passwd' file afterwards.

As for the problem with the groups, it sounds like a problem with your
PDC.  Is it up/accessible?

Corruption isn't quite accurate. When you download source files, 
setup.exe puts them in /usr/src, which is a managed mount, to insure 
that Windows-incompatible file names can still be preserved. If you copy 
files from /usr/src outside of cygwin, then the filenames will become 
mangled. If you use cygwin's cp to copy them, then there should be no 
problems unless some of the filenames are not legal Windows filenames. 
That's probably what was happening here.

 02. remove registry-keys: HK(CU|LM)-SOFTWARE-Cygnus Solutions
 03. remove windows/user sshd
 04. rename c:\cygwin to c:\cygwin_1

Don't add tty, use only ntsec.


ok, I changed my Windows-env-variable CYGWIN to ntsec and
$ cygrunsrv  -R sshd
$ ssh-host-config
- always - yes
- CYGWIN=ntsec


Everything else looks fine...

What happened?  Did you login or not?  It looks like you did.


yes, I was able to login successfully and executed the date-command
remotely.

so what is wrong with my installation (fyi - I did the same steps 2
days ago on a similar machine - same error ...)



Hm.  What exactly is the point to showing us a sequence of steps that
results in a working install on one machine rather than the details of
the failure of these steps on another?  Perhaps the point of this merry
chase has been lost on me through this protracted thread.  Anyway, if
you're suggesting that the above steps do not provide a running 'sshd'
on some other system, please try running it _on that system_ as debug.
That should tell you what 'sshd' has a problem with.  If there's no
issue there, check the Windows event log.  If you can't interpret the
feedback you're getting from this sleuthing, please send information
about your process, errors, configuration, setup, etc., to this list
and hopefully someone will be able to spot the issue.

It did not result in a working install, that is his point.  It works when sshd
is started manually but not as a service.

Has Michael tried running a debug version with a SYSTEM-owned shell to see
why running as SYSTEM is unhappy?  My WAG is that he still has a file out
there that doesn't have the proper permissions for SYSTEM.  It would be
helpful to address this issue directly.

For ways to open a SYSTEM-owned shell, see the email archives.

No.

 My WAG is that he still has a file out

That was the point of testing with a complete re-install... which had the same
result.

 For ways to open a SYSTEM-owned shell, see the email archives.

Hint: A Windows shortcut with the following properties

C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -c at $(date +%H):$(($(date +%M) + 1)) /interactive
'c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe' --login -i; secs=$((60 - $(date +%S))); while [ $secs
-ne 0 ]; do echo -ne 'Please wait '$secs' seconds for the shell \r'; sleep 1;
secs=$(($secs - 1)); done

and don't forget to return /var/empty to its original state before doing any
more testing.

I've already recognized this message, but as I wanted to chown to

Now I chowned to myself:root and now it works - sshd is up for one

Afterwards I chowned /var/empty/ to SYSTEM:root and again tried to

These sound like the same steps I have gone through.  sshd asks for 
root, but it is actually SYSTEM.  This is what I ended up with on 2 
different working systems:


drwxr-xr-x+ 2 SYSTEM Administrators 0 Sep  5 15:53 /var/empty
dr-xr-xr-x+ 2 SYSTEM root 0 Jan 10 12:57 /var/empty

But these did not work for me either when I tried running it from the 
command line (instead of a service).  It had to be owned by the current 
user.  I renamed it and did a mkdir so I could continue debugging. 
Later I put the system one back after renaming the command line version 
in case I have to debug it again later, and now have:


drwxr-xr-x+  2 SYSTEM   root  0 Jan 11 18:06 empty
drwxr-xr-x+  2 VPSAdmin Users 0 Jan 12 09:54 empty.cmdline

The ownership/permissions were the problem on another system I debugged, 
but this box ended up having a totally different problem.  It had a 
program running with so many connections that Window's netstat program 
would not work anymore.  We rebooted and then sshd worked, as well as 
netstat.  The moral of the story is that if netstat isn't working, don't 
bother trying to run sshd.

It's not important, here's how my /var/empty looks (with sshd working fine):

$ ll /var
...
drwxr-xr-x+  2 SYSTEM  None   0 May 20  2004 empty/

It should be clear by now that you messed something pretty bad, and we haven't
found what it was from your reports, why don't you start all over again...
rename your Cygwin directory and install it again, just run the sshd config
script and don't touch anything else.

Use 'getfacl' and 'setfacl'.  This will manipulate the ACL that is indicated
by the '+' at the end of the permission string displayed by 'ls'.

It's not important, here's how my /var/empty looks (with sshd working fine):

$ ll /var
...
drwxr-xr-x+  2 SYSTEM  None   0 May 20  2004 empty/

It should be clear by now that you messed something pretty bad, and we haven't
found what it was from your reports, why don't you start all over again...
rename your Cygwin directory and install it again, just run the sshd config
script and don't touch anything else.


ok - here listed what I did (sorry for the long listing):
