I'm not too sure that we should keep this scheme in the long run. The /bin dir is getting very big in a full install and /bin should be in $PATH anyway. For now we should probably stick to this scheme, but we should rethink this approach at least when we create the new package area for the Cygwin 1.7 release.

ash/bash postinstall dance [Was: Cygwin doesn't install on Windows Server 2008 (x64).]
Krzysztof Ostrowski wrote: What is the purpose of 00ash.sh, and what kind of system calls does it attempt at making? Surely, it must be something very unusual because I've got The strange thing about this is that 00ash should be totally superfluous on a new system. And syscalls? It's a shell script, it's just invoking programs, it doesn't really know waht a syscall is. A bit of background: For a long time in the past /bin/sh was really ash -- the ash package simply provided /bin/sh.exe, the bash package provided /bin/bash.exe, and that was that. There was no confusion or contention between the two. Except that ash sucks. It's not actively maintained, it's sort of buggy, not very POSIX compliant, and there are lots of shell scripts in the wild that start with #!/bin/sh but use bash-specific features since /bin/sh is bash on Linux. The reason for having ash as sh was because at some point in the very distant past it had been determined that because of ash's simplicity it was also faster than bash, which matters for Cygwin because process creation is really slow. We revisited this thinking a few years ago, sometime in mid 2005 I think. We determined that the fact that bash had a lot more builtins than ash compensated for any potential increase in complexity such that it was not in fact slower. We decided to change the packaging so that /bin/sh was bash. This was some time around mid-2005, so this is by far not a new change. Only we couldn't just stop providing ash as we needed a way of running the rebaseall script, which attempts to re-layout the ImageBase of all DLLs from Cygwin packages, which requires writing the new ImageBase to the .dll, which requires it not be in use. But bash links dynamically with libintl, libiconv, libreadline, and libcurses so those would be in use if bash were running the rebaseall script. ash only links with the Cygwin DLL so it is immune to this problem, so we decided to keep it around for that purpose. Under the new system, the ash package extracts /bin/ash.exe, the bash package extracts /bin/bash.exe and no package extracts /bin/sh.exe. That is handled between the ash and bash postinstall scripts. The reason for doing this was to make the upgrade safer: you could in thoery release a new ash that unpacks a /bin/ash.exe and a new bash package that unpacks both a /bin/sh.exe and a /bin/bash.exe. However, this leaves a potential route for the user having a broken system unless they install both updates at the same time. In the new system, the job of making sure there is a /bin/sh.exe (as well as keeping it updated) is covered by the postinstalls: 00bash.sh and 00ash.sh both try to ensure that if there is no /bin/sh.exe, or the /bin/sh.exe that exists is ash, that bash.exe is copied to sh.exe. The bash postinstall also does the copy if bash is newer than sh, so that when bash is upgraded the copy will be updated. (Note that it would be a lot easier to use a hard or soft link, but those won't work for various other reasons.) Anyway, the point of all this is that these postinstalls really only have one function: make sure /bin/sh is correct. And since you're not updating a system from 2005, you can simulate this entirely by copy c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe c:\cygwin\bin\sh.exe at a Command Prompt if for any reason it is not working correctly. That brings up an interesting, and I think valid question -- Why are we still catering to systems that might be stuck in 2005 with an ash /bin/sh? If we change the bash binary package to extract both /bin/sh and /bin/bash (the setup program expands hard links in the tarball as copies, so we can use a hard link there to save space) then that means that we don't have to worry about copying anything to sh.exe anymore, it will always be in sync with bash.exe. The ash postinstall could go away entirely and the bash postinstall (and startup!) could be simplified tremendously... Brian

Re: Cygwin doesn't install on Windows Server 2008 (x64).
Unfortunately I'm not intimately familiar with Cygwin sources. I was assuming that someone who actually understands what the setup is doing could suggest places to look at, perhaps some log files or error dumps. I couldn't find any useful logs, the only one that I've found wasn't flushed and had size 0, and looking at system calls gave me no hints because 00ash.sh doesn't apparently generate any. Surely, the setup must leave some traces of its activities. I'd be happy to contribute some time and energy to this opensource effort by collecting information about a possible bug, but I can't afford to become expert on Cygwin. I was hoping someone who is already an expert can provide hints. If not, that's perfectly fine. I can live without Cygwin. What is the purpose of 00ash.sh, and what kind of system calls does it attempt at making? Surely, it must be something very unusual because I've got all sorts of win32 apps running on this machine without any glitch. It has to be related to the fact that it runs on WoWx64, for I verified that x32 doesn't have such problem. I'd imagine there'd be only a handful of places in Cygwin that require the sort of unusual functionality from the OS that 99% other apps don't need, and if we further narrow it down to the post-install setup, that'd be even less. Krzys Still, I can't reproduce the problem. I'm, too, running RTM versions from MSDN, x86 and x64 Standard Edition. Just for kicks, I'll install an Enterprise x64 in the next couple of days and try again. Can somebody else confirm or deny such a problem on 2008?

Your PATH does not yet have any part of cygwin in it, so I just added it: export PATH=$PATH:/bin:/usr/bin Try adding it to your path and see if you get better results.

Hi, How did you manage to run something in another shell? When I start a second shell, I end up with an instance of bash.exe or ash.exe that doesn't appear to respond to any commands except pwd. Even ls doesn't work, it returns no output. Instead, the commands I type into bash.exe and ash.exe cause child processes to be spawned. I end up with a list of nested child processes that don't consume any CPU and remain blocked forever.

Does 00ash.sh work if you run it from another shell? I'm also at a loss of what to investigate next. I've looked into running bash shells from an alternate batch file that monitors with strace and the -x flag to bash, and I see that when the shell hangs, it occurs at random points while sourcing the profile. When it happens, there is always some other process (e.g. subshell, id, grep, tr, sed, date) that exists but doesn't exit. When that happens, I can see it via ps(1) but not kill it via kill(1) - only through windows tools. Upon terminating the process that way, the original script continues. I can generate an strace or process monitor log for when that happens if it interests anyone.

RE: Cygwin doesn't install on Windows Server 2008 (x64).
Hi, Path wasn't an issue because I did specify full paths, but when I manually copied bash.exe onto sh.exe, and terminated the instance of bash.exe that was trying to run 00ash.sh, the setup did eventually complete. It simply timed out on the remaining scripts (it didn't previously want to time out on 00ash.sh). After the setup completed I was finally able to launch a working shell that wouldn't spawn nested chains of child processes, it did work (except I had no environment setup, of course). In that shell, I could run each of the failed post-install scripts one by one and now it seems to be fully functional. I'm not sure why the shell wouldn't be functional at the time when it runs the setup. Perhaps there's a race condition that makes something run out of order before the shell is actually fully up and running? Somehow, letting the setup just timeout on everything apparently fixes it...

Re: MIME::Lite Help
The problem
is that I usually use MIME::Lite to send emails from various perl
tasks.
1. Install ssmtp from Cygwin.
2. Run /usr/bin/ssmtp-config to configure.
3. If needed edit the config file
/etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf)
and add your mail hub. For example:
mailhub=smtp.comcast.net:587
4. In Perl, you use:
my $msg = MIME::Lite-new(
From = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]',
To = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]',
Subject = This is a test,
Type = 'AUTO',
Encoding = 'base64',
Path = $file
);
$msg-send('sendmail', '/usr/sbin/ssmtp', '[EMAIL PROTECTED]');

about cyglsa.dll
Hi Cygwin expert I have noticed Corinna had released an LSA authentication package called cyglsa.dll to resolve windows logon issue at the end of 2006 from http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-developers/2006-11/msg0.html. It is really cool except the extra-work to install and uninstall referring to the introduction. I guess the old public key authentication issue for sshd could never be obstacle any more. But the DLL seems not included in the latest cygwin package. Is it still under development testing? I would like to try this module. But I am not sure whether I could get it?

Fwd: Re[3]: ZSH - UTF-8
Just found out I had only done a reply and not forwarded to the cygwin ml last time. Sorry about that. This is a forwarded message From: Paul-Kenji Cahier [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Peter A. Castro [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wednesday, March 5, 2008, 3:06:21 PM Subject: ZSH - UTF-8 ===8==Original message text=== ??LC_ALL set to C.UTF-8 in all cases. Cygwin freshly installed. ??Also tried LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8(which shouldnt exist) and it did ??not work either. ??Newlib uses C-UTF-8, not C.UTF-8 for some reason. I don't see that ??newlib understands the dot. Moreover, Cygwin doesn't support utf-8 yet, ??so you might have strange effects using utf-8 for filenames. ??Corinna ?(this time text under quote, didnt know it bothered) ?I'm still failing to get zsh working with utf-8, even ?with C-UTF-8 as LC_ALL: as specified in my previous message ?non-ascii bytes get displayed as 00cxx which the line editor ?does manage properly. But there is still no way to actually see ?utf-8 characters displayed, or even their unicode values(ie ?it's still a single byte editing mode). If someone manages ?to get it working, please post:) ?Can you send me the specific key sequence you are using to generate this? In this case, 00c300a9(which is acute e, or U+00E9). ?Are you using a CMD window or rxvt or an xterm? I tried with CMD/rxvt/putty and the results was always the same. UTF-8 displays well when, for example, doing a cat on a file with utf-8 content(just want to make it clear that it's not a term issue). ? Also, are you using the stock ?zsh 4.3.5 source distro or have you applied the Cygwin patches from ?4.3.4 to it before building? Currently, only with a stock 4.3.5, I'm currently trying to build with the cygwin patch and build system to see if it makes any difference. EDIT: I just did it and it did change the behaviour back to the same as cygwin built 4.3.4: the ZLE displays the utf-8 characters correctly(ie sends the correct bytes) but is still 100% unaware of multi-byte. I tried with both C-UTF-8 and C.UTF-8 and en_US.UTF-8, and none worked properly, I personally . ?I've recently built 4.3.5 for Cygwin and have been testing it before ?releasing it. Send me the key sequences you are using and I'll see if I ?can repro it. Just type any non-ascii character(ie accents, cjk, cyrillic, etc) in an empty prompt then do a backspace(which should erase it) and notice that if you actually press backspace a second time it erases again, when the line should have been empty and not-erased. The reason being that the first time it only erases the second byte of the 2-byte character, and the second time the first byte(instead of erasing both at the same time). ?As Corinna noted, Cygwin doesn't really support utf-8, so this might have ?some bearing on the matter. And, you should know that some multi-byte ?delete issues have been identified on other, supposedly, UTF-8 compliant ?systems, so you aren't the first to hit this. Shouldnt be a problem in this case though, as this is purely for the ZLE(zsh line editor). ?Also I know about the lack of utf-8 support in cygwin for most ?of the windows calls(and personally think that the cygwin utf-8 ?wrapper code patch would be a vast improvement, that is the one ?from okisoft that got posted to cygwin's ml long ago, though ?I understand some people dont like how it's done). This should ?still not be a problem for one to do an echo éébackspace ?in his term transparently. ?(no problematic wide windows calls involved there as far as I know). ?Paul-Kenji Cahier ?-- ?Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple ?Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html ?Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html ?FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ ===8===End of original message text=== -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

It's a shell script, it's just invoking programs, it doesn't really know waht a syscall is. A bit of background: For a long time in the past /bin/sh was really ash -- the ash package simply provided /bin/sh.exe, the bash package provided /bin/bash.exe, and that was that. There was no confusion or contention between the two. Except that ash sucks. It's not actively maintained, it's sort of buggy, not very POSIX compliant, and there are lots of shell scripts in the wild that start with #!/bin/sh but use bash-specific features since /bin/sh is bash on Linux. The reason for having ash as sh was because at some point in the very distant past it had been determined that because of ash's simplicity it was also faster than bash, which matters for Cygwin because process creation is really slow. We revisited this thinking a few years ago, sometime in mid 2005 I think. We determined that the fact that bash had a lot more builtins than ash compensated for any potential increase in complexity such that it was not in fact slower. We decided to change the packaging so that /bin/sh was bash. This was some time around mid-2005, so this is by far not a new change. Only we couldn't just stop providing ash as we needed a way of running the rebaseall script, which attempts to re-layout the ImageBase of all DLLs from Cygwin packages, which requires writing the new ImageBase to the .dll, which requires it not be in use. But bash links dynamically with libintl, libiconv, libreadline, and libcurses so those would be in use if bash were running the rebaseall script. ash only links with the Cygwin DLL so it is immune to this problem, so we decided to keep it around for that purpose. Under the new system, the ash package extracts /bin/ash.exe, the bash package extracts /bin/bash.exe and no package extracts /bin/sh.exe. That is handled between the ash and bash postinstall scripts. The reason for doing this was to make the upgrade safer: you could in thoery release a new ash that unpacks a /bin/ash.exe and a new bash package that unpacks both a /bin/sh.exe and a /bin/bash.exe. However, this leaves a potential route for the user having a broken system unless they install both updates at the same time. In the new system, the job of making sure there is a /bin/sh.exe (as well as keeping it updated) is covered by the postinstalls: 00bash.sh and 00ash.sh both try to ensure that if there is no /bin/sh.exe, or the /bin/sh.exe that exists is ash, that bash.exe is copied to sh.exe. The bash postinstall also does the copy if bash is newer than sh, so that when bash is upgraded the copy will be updated. (Note that it would be a lot easier to use a hard or soft link, but those won't work for various other reasons.) Anyway, the point of all this is that these postinstalls really only have one function: make sure /bin/sh is correct. And since you're not updating a system from 2005, you can simulate this entirely by copy c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe c:\cygwin\bin\sh.exe at a Command Prompt if for any reason it is not working correctly. That brings up an interesting, and I think valid question -- Why are we still catering to systems that might be stuck in 2005 with an ash /bin/sh? If we change the bash binary package to extract both /bin/sh and /bin/bash (the setup program expands hard links in the tarball as copies, so we can use a hard link there to save space) then that means that we don't have to worry about copying anything to sh.exe anymore, it will always be in sync with bash.exe. The ash postinstall could go away entirely and the bash postinstall (and startup!) could be simplified tremendously...
