bash/cmd and CTRL-C problem...
Hi,
I'm new to the list and I don't know if this problem is already solved, but
I couldn't find a hint neither on the archives nor on the FAQ or somewhere
else on the net.
My problem is related to bash/cmd and signal handling.
In my app I installed a signal handler for SIGINT. The app is going into a
wait loop and waiting for the exit flag from the signal handler to be set.
When pressing CTRL-C in the windows cmd shell the application continues
normally after the signal handler has been caught. Under bash the signal
handler is also correctly called, but after that the app is exiting
immediatly, i.e. not continuing with the code.
Here is the source:
/
#include windows.h
#include stdio.h
#include signal.h
bool loop = true;
extern C void signalHandler(int sig)
{
switch( sig )
{
case SIGINT: // == 2
printf(SIGINT=%d\n,sig);
break;
default:
printf(default=%d\n,sig);
break;
};
loop=false;
}
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
if (signal( SIGINT , signalHandler ) == SIG_ERR)
return -1;
printf(### ctrlbreak: Waiting now...\n);
while(loop)
Sleep ((DWORD) 1000) ;
printf(### ctrlbreak: Finished waiting now...\n);
return 0;
}
/
Here the the output of the app under Win2K/bash:
// bash2.05a-2
$ ./ctrlbreak.exe
### ctrlbreak: Waiting now...
SIGINT=2
// GNU bash, version 2.02.1(2)-release (i586-pc-cygwin32) B20.1
bash-2.02$ ./ctrlbreak
### ctrlbreak: Waiting now...
SIGINT=2
// cmd.exe Win2k SP2
### ctrlbreak: Waiting now...
SIGINT=2
### ctrlbreak: Finished waiting now...
You can see that under the cmd shell the text Finished waiting now... is
printed which does not come out under the bash.
Any hint would be greatly appreciated...
Michael

Re: bash completion (was: RE: Units)
- Original Message - From: Ebrey, Carl [EMAIL PROTECTED] One thing I would like to say though is that I've been quite annoyed by the attitudes that come over on this mailing list. The last time I checked Cygwin was an open project, available for anyone to contribute and offer help. However, all I've seen is help being thrown back in people's faces, including my own. If you don't want people to help, don't have an open project. It's quite simple. Please remember that there is a difference between open project and anarchy. We do accept help. Lots of it. And I, for one, do appreciate it and try to show that appreciation. However, some things are quite annoying - and getting old topics revisited at a rate of knots is one of those. Rob

We've (Carl and I) have been trying to port BSD-games. Unfortunately we

For now, it could contain only bashcompletion, but later you could add -- oh, bashprompt, or something... Funnily enough, I suggested calling the package bashtools last night. Hmmm, now why was that? Doh. I missed this. I probably could have just agreed with this suggestion and saved myself some grief. I think that the concept makes sense regardless of the name. cgf
RE: [PATCH] Setup.exe in a property sheet
Ok, first glance: You've diffed across versions - please update both the clean dir and your working dir for the next patch. Thats a major reason the patch is so big. * please use win32 thread API calls, not _beginthread et al. I don't think we can do that, at least not everywhere. The threads call many CRT functions, and MS warns you not to use CreateThread if you're using the CRT in your thread. Note that the threads are now backwards from what they used to be - the UI (which IIRC isn't using much if any CRT) now runs entirely in the main thread, and a few of the do_xxx()'s are split off of that main thread soas to not block the UI updating/responsiveness. * All classes with an explicit destructor need copy constructors and operator =. (If they aren't used, declare but don't implement). Reason: synthesised copy constructors and assignment operators will be wrong. (And yes, this is wrong elsewhere in setup too). Yeah I know. Of course there's currently no copying going on, but it's on my todo list for completeness. I don't understand the destructor connection though...? * varargs and C++ don't mix from what I'm told. (because objects passed in lose information). I haven't heard that one. As I understand it, you're just pushing bytes onto the stack, and in the vararg function it's up to you to figure out what they were supposed to be by whatever means necessary (a cast). I'm not sure why any code involved in that would care what was being pushed on the stack. It's probably ok for your string class... but I'm not sure why it exists? Well I'll grant you it's not very fleshed out yet. The idea first and foremost is to consolidate the LoadString()s and FormatMessage()s into one easy-to-use place; currently such calls are spread around in several places, and especially FormatMessage() is a hassle to deal with. This class will be derived from std::string when I get gcc to find the $%^ing header, which will of course make it tremendously more functional. * To test if something is not needed, comment it out and see if you get link errors. Right...? I don't catch your drift. * have you run this through indent? No (is it that obvious? ;-)), and I have to apologize for that. I know my coding style is rather different *COUGHBETTERHACK* ;-) than the GNU standard style. Is indent still making hash of C++ code? * the #if 0...#endifs should go. Delete the code or document why it's not deleted. They're in the process of going, and I did document this in the ChangeLog (albeit that's not the right place). I'm keeping some of that around until I'm sure I have the logic carried over properly. * I don't like the PropertyPage semnatics - Why is Create not the constructor? I don't like constructors that have a significant chance of failing, i.e. that do much more than simply get the instance into a consistent state, and try to avoid them whenever I can. The issue is that when a constructor fails, its only recourse is to throw an exception and let the caller catch it and deal with it (assuming he doesn't want whatever the default abort handler does), and at that point you've more than burned up any convenience you may have gained by combining the constructor and initializer. A separate Create() can still throw an exception if it wants to, but can also return a 'failed' status, which IMO is just as good and easier to catch and take whatever action you deem appropriate. Now in the particular case of these dialog-like things, we've actually got more than one way to initialize them: modal and modeless. A constructor that popped up a modal dialog box, say, sounds like a mess to me; your entire box would have to be something like this: MyDialogClass dlg(IDD_TEMPLATE, DO_MODAL); So now in addition to yet another flag you have to deal with, your dialog lives and dies entirely in the constructor, i.e. before the object is even really constructed. You can't, say, construct it and then show/hide it when you wanted, you can't call any members before the box is up (this applies to both modal and modeless), I just don't think it works well or buys you anything in this sort of application. * The propertysheet/propertypage friend relationship would be good to have correct. Indeed, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to do it right. FWICT, I think what I really want to do (friend individual member functions to another class) isn't possible, so I'll probably just friend the entire classes together, which will at least limit the cross-fertilization to two classes. * please keep CVSID's in source files. They aren't used in the code, but I find them useful for review. Ok, sorry. I didn't purposely remove any, and thought they were an automatic CVS deal anyway. * The ThreeBar refactoring seems incomplete - it is dependent on the end user functions, rather than the other way around.

If you think there really will be two classes for this (other than the working inside classes) then leave it as is. Like I said, I don't know what the answer to this one is. I do know that simply putting choose in the property sheet will make all the other pages ridiculously huge (they all end up being the size of the biggest one), and is not an option because of that. If the sheet can be resized programmatically on Win95 on, I can put it in and adjust it that way (which I think would be the best solution), but if not we'll need the two sheets, one basically as a filler (as I have it now). But even if the first way is possible, we're talking considerably more time and work. What I've got now works at least as good as it did before WRT the chooser, so I see no reason for this to hold up the rest of the changes. And you've already taken me to task on the size and scope of this patch ;-). Ok. Well correct me if I'm wrong but the current chooser.h does the following: it's a property page of the main window it call do_chooser. That's it (high level). All I'm suggesting is that until we know that we will need a separate chooser (ie we won't just move choose.cc's contents to chooser.cc) lets just do those two things in choose.cc. That way if we do need a separate file later, it's not a problem. I'm not religious on this, which is why I passed the decision to you - but it sounds like the jury is still out for you as well. Rob

The following almost always causes the telnet session to hang: 1. telnet localhost using PuTTY 2. log in 3. type `find' at the top of a fairly large directory structure 4. press Ctrl-C Can anyone help? I have attached the output of cygcheck -s -v -r which incidentally gave the error cygcheck: dump_sysinfo: GetVolumeInformation() failed: 53 Thanks Carl Cygnus Win95/NT Configuration Diagnostics Current System Time: Wed Dec 19 14:34:13 2001 Windows 98 Ver 4.10 Build 1998 Path: D:\cygwin\usr\local\bin D:\cygwin\bin D:\cygwin\bin D:\cygwin\usr\local\bin D:\cygwin\bin D:\cygwin\bin D:\cygwin\bin D:\cygwin\bin D:\cygwin\USR\LOCAL\BIN c:\WIN98 c:\WIN98\COMMAND c:\TEXMF\MIKTEX\BIN D:\CTH103\TOOLS\PYTHON21 c:\MATLABR12\BIN\WIN32 D:\CTH103\BIN D:\CTH103\LIB SysDir: C:\WIN98\SYSTEM WinDir: C:\WIN98 HOME = `D:\cygwin\home\cth103' MAKE_MODE = `unix' PWD = `/home/cth103' USER = `cth103' BLASTER = `A240 I7 D3 H7 P330 T6' CMDLINE = `WIN' COLORFGBG = `default;default' COLORTERM = `rxvt-xpm' COMSPEC = `C:\COMMAND.COM' DISPLAY = `:0' LCDPORT = `LPT1' LOGNAME = `cth103' OLDPWD = `/home/cth103' PROMPT = `$p$g' PS1 = `\w $ ' PYTHONPATH = `d:\cth103\Library\VTK\vtk32\python;d:\cth103\lib;d:\cth103\Tools\Python21\site-lib;d:\cth103\Library\' SHELL = `/bin/bash' SHLVL = `2' TEMP = `c:\WIN98\TEMP' TERM = `xterm' TMP = `c:\WIN98\TEMP' TZ = `GMT0BST' WINBOOTDIR = `C:\WIN98' WINDIR = `C:\WIN98' WINDOWID = `72945984' _ = `/usr/bin/cygcheck' inetd_dummy = `xxx' HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MenuOrder\Start Menu\Programs\Development\Cygnus Solutions (default) = (unsupported type) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MenuOrder\Start Menu\Programs\Cygnus Solutions (default) = (unsupported type) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2 (default) = `/cygdrive' cygdrive flags = 0x0022 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/d (default) = `D:' flags = 0x0002 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\Program Options HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions\CYGWIN.DLL setup HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions\CYGWIN.DLL setup\b15.0 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions\CYGWIN.DLL setup\b15.0\mounts HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions\CYGWIN.DLL setup\b15.0\mounts\00 (default) = `C:' unix = `/' fbinary = 0x fsilent = 0x HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Cygnus Cygwin B20 (default) = `C:\WIN98\IsUninst.exe -fc:\cygnus\cygwin-b20\Uninst.isu' DisplayName = `Cygwin B20' HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cygnus Solutions HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/ (default) = `D:\cygwin' flags = 0x000a HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/usr/bin (default) = `D:/cygwin/bin' flags = 0x000a HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/usr/lib (default) = `D:/cygwin/lib' flags = 0x000a HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\Program Options HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cygnus Solutions\CYGWIN.DLL setup HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cygnus Solutions\CYGWIN.DLL setup\b15.0 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cygnus Solutions\CYGWIN.DLL setup\b15.0\mounts HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cygnus Solutions\CYGWIN.DLL setup\b15.0\mounts\00 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cygnus Solutions\CYGWIN.DLL setup\b15.0\mounts\01 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cygnus Solutions\CYGWIN.DLL setup\b15.0\mounts\02 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cygnus Solutions\CYGWIN.DLL setup\b15.0\mounts\03 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cygnus Solutions\CYGWIN.DLL setup\b15.0\mounts\04 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cygnus Solutions\CYGWIN.DLL setup\b15.0\mounts\05 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cygnus Solutions\CYGWIN.DLL setup\b15.0\mounts\06 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cygnus Solutions\CYGWIN.DLL setup\b15.0\mounts\07 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cygnus Solutions\CYGWIN.DLL setup\b15.0\mounts\08 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cygnus Solutions\CYGWIN.DLL setup\b15.0\mounts\09 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cygnus Solutions\CYGWIN.DLL setup\b15.0\mounts\0A HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cygnus Solutions\CYGWIN.DLL setup\b15.0\mounts\0B HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cygnus Solutions\CYGWIN.DLL setup\b15.0\mounts\0C

I just updated my cygwin installation and noticed this new directory. I was a couple updates behind. I took a look and there's a README that states: Please read the update-alternatives(8) man page for information on this directory and its contents. The referenced man page does not exist in my installation. There didn't appear to be any updated man pages listed in the setup program. Also, I can find no reference to this in the list archives.

Re: linking with glut32.lib?
Hi,
I'm trying to get a GLUT application compiled under cygwin and am
having a spot of bother. I've got it going fine under Linux (my
preferred platform - I try not to touch Windows if I can help it), but
I'd like to have Windows users be able to run it too and Cygwin seemed
the obvious choice.
GLUT support is already included in cygwin's openGL package.
Anyway I've put glut32.{dll,lib} from
http://www.xmission.com/~nate/glut/glut-3.7.6-bin.zip and
Scrap that. Use cygwin's openGL package instead.
{glu,opengl}32.{dll,lib} from
http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/info/1/W95/EN-US/Opengl95.exe
in /usr/local/lib and then tried to link it like this:
gcc *.o /usr/local/lib/glut32.lib /usr/local/lib/opengl32.lib \
/usr/local/lib/glu32.lib -lm -o program
but I get errors like this:
whatever.o:123: undefined reference to `glutInit@8'
Wrong glut.h; glut functions are not properly declared; that leads to
linking problems.
so am I right in thinking there's something wrong with glut32.lib?
All the references to functions in opengl32.lib and glu32.lib resolve
OK, but not any to the functions in glut32.lib. How can I fix this or
is there a different glut32.{dll,lib} that I should be using?
Thanks for any assistance,
Mark.
After you install cygwin's openGL package, please read
/usr/doc/opengl-1.1.0/README.txt for usefull clues.

multiple dll's cause app to hang
dear all I have what I would call a major problem. (common across all machine types I have here) when I compile a application such as sed and cygwin1.dll everything works but if I try and mix my dll with the net version it hangs say I have a normal net install I compile cygwin prefix=/install I compile sed prefix=/install now if I remove cygwin1.dll from /install/bin/ sed executes fine if I replace /bin/cygwin1.dll with my compiled version from /install everything works but if I mix the two it just hangs and causes DrWatson to complain if I ctrl-C it. (this is not common to sed ps.exe fails also) I have strace'd it and it seems to do with the shared memory. As it does not even get to executing the program I put in some debug prints so that I could find out the mode but I am unsure of what's going on after the _P_OVERLAY. so what this says to me is that if someone installs a cygwin net over a different release then it will invalidate the previous install should I just change the version numbers ? as they are the same at the moment, so they don't try and share memory and if so the API version number or the major what's the sensible way of going about this ? or is something really broken ?

Thanks for that. I hadn't realised GLUT and OpenGL were supported out
of the box like that. I'd done some Googling trying to find
instructions for compiling GLUT programs and nothing I came across
mentioned an OpenGL Cygwin package. Next time I'll read the package
list more carefully!
Anyway I've now got it compiling cleanly, but there's a totally
unrelated runtime error which after investigation looks like it's
caused by sscanf(3) not working properly with %as. The following
code which works under Linux (sscanf returns 1) but not under Cygwin
(sscanf returns 0) demonstrates the problem:
#include stdio.h
int main(int argc, char *argv[]){
char *string = This is a string\n;
char *word;
if(!sscanf(string, %as, word)){
fprintf(stderr, No string in string.\n);
}
else{
printf(Found `%s' in string.\n, word);
}
return 0;
}
Mark.

RE: default mounts
Larry Hall (RFK Partners, Inc) [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] said: It is not setup.exe's expected behavior to put anything in /usr/bin and /usr/lib. It is setup.exe's expected behavior to mount Cygwin install dir/bin to /usr/bin and Cygwin install dir/lib to /usr/lib. Unless you can provide more details of what you did, I have to conclude that you I'd recommend getting rid of the files you list above and installing the OpenGL package via setup.exe if you want it. setup.exe does exactly what you said it did. I don't know how those files got into the physical /usr/lib directory. I removed them and reinstalled opengl and everything is ok now.

Linking to functions in libraries with different names
Hi, I would really appreciate some advice on a windows linking question. I have a large body of code, in fact in Fortran, with function names like FUNCTION1 and FUNCTION2, which will call functions exported from an external library. I have the relevant libraries, with no source, in MS .lib format; unfortunately, the libraries export the names of the functions above as FUNCTION1@16 and FUNCTION2@8. If I understand correctly (and I am not atall sure I do), I can't successfully use any of the fancy name alias features of dlltool, because I don't have the library source. So, is there any way I can get the gcc linker to link the function FUNCTION1 in my code to the routine FUNCTION1@16 in the .lib file? More generally, is there a way of getting the linker to link a function foo() in my code to a library routine bar(), for which I do not have the source? Can it be done with linker scripts, for example? Many thanks for any help, Best, Matthew -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

Billinghurst, David (CRTS) wrote: Thanks. This works nicely with gcc-3.1 (which has had broken nls support for a while) Cool. I don't think I'd recommend re-gettextizing any package with this version, if you expect the modified package to work on another platform tho. For that, wait until we get the cygwin-dll support into an official libtool(*), and then I'll switch cygwin-gettext completely (instead of only partially) over to libtool-driven buildand THEN I'll try to encourage the REAL gettext people to update their libtool scripts to the (then current) libtool... My goal for THIS release was just to allow packages -- like gcc-3.1 -- which are maintained on non-cygwin platforms, to work okay with -- and even link with -- a cygwinized installed version of gettext. e.g. ensure that libintl.a, libintl.h, and cygintl-1.dll play well with others; but not (yet) gettextize. Previously, playing well with others was not really the case. It only kinda sorta worked sometimes. Blech.

Build cross gcc
Hi! I hope I'm not OT, but if I am plz tell me where to post this problem... I cannot seem to build a cross gcc-3.0.2 (release) on cygwin host for dos target. Unfortunately I have to use dos/win currently and need to get gcc to cross compile. I have build a cross binutils (2.11.2) without any problems configured and installed with: ./configure --target=i386-msdos --enable-shared --with-gnu-ld --with-gnu-as --host=i686-pc-cygwin --program-prefix=dos- I have verified that invoking dos-ld or dos-as, calls these newly installed binutils files (they are in /usr/local/bin). But when I try to configure gcc: ./configure --verbose --enable-threads=win32 --with-system-zlib --disable-nls --disable-shared --enable-static --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld --program-prefix=dos- --enable-languages=c --disable-libgcj --disable-checking --target=i386-msdos --host=i686-pc-cygwin --with-ld=dos-ld --with-as=dos-as I get: *** This configuration is not supported in the following subdirectories: target-libffi target-boehm-gc target-zlib target-libjava target-libstdc++-v3 target-libf2c zlib fastjar target-libobjc (Any other directories should still work fine.)

RE: Cygwin fork() rebase solution (was Re: dll_list::load_after_fork() blues ...)
Jason Tishler writes: I believe that I have found a rebase solution to the Cygwin fork() problem that has been causing Cygwin Python some grief lately. I added an offset option to the attached rebase tool. If I spread the DLLs out by an extra 0x1, then the fork() problem seems to be mitigate. After rebasing the necessary Cygwin and Python DLLs: I can run the full regression test without any failures *even though* _socket is a shared module. If my findings are corroborated, then I will work with the Cygwin team to integrate rebase into setup.exe so that rebasing automatically occurs every time that setup.exe is run.

bash/cmd CTRL-C problem...
Hi,
I'm new to the list and I don't know if this problem is already solved, but
I couldn't find a hint neither on the archives nor on the FAQ or somewhere
else on the net.
My problem is related to bash/cmd and signal handling.
In my app I installed a signal handler for SIGINT. The app is going into a
wait loop and waiting for the exit flag from the signal handler to be set.
When pressing CTRL-C in the windows cmd shell the application continues
normally after the signal handler has been caught. Under bash the signal
handler is also correctly called, but after that the app is exiting
immediatly, i.e. not continuing with the code.
Here is the source:
/
#include windows.h
#include stdio.h
#include signal.h
bool loop = true;
extern C void signalHandler(int sig)
{
switch( sig )
{
case SIGINT: // == 2
printf(SIGINT=%d\n,sig);
break;
default:
printf(default=%d\n,sig);
break;
};
loop=false;
}
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
if (signal( SIGINT , signalHandler ) == SIG_ERR)
return -1;
printf(### ctrlbreak: Waiting now...\n);
while(loop)
Sleep ((DWORD) 1000) ;
printf(### ctrlbreak: Finished waiting now...\n);
return 0;
}
/
Here the the output of the app under Win2K/bash:
// bash2.05a-2
$ ./ctrlbreak.exe
### ctrlbreak: Waiting now...
SIGINT=2
// GNU bash, version 2.02.1(2)-release (i586-pc-cygwin32) B20.1
bash-2.02$ ./ctrlbreak
### ctrlbreak: Waiting now...
SIGINT=2
// cmd.exe Win2k SP2
### ctrlbreak: Waiting now...
SIGINT=2
### ctrlbreak: Finished waiting now...
You can see that under the cmd shell the text Finished waiting now... is
printed which does not come out under the bash. The app is not linked
against any cygwin library. It is a plain VC++ console application. But when
I compile with gcc from the cygwin package I have the same result.
Any hint would be greatly appreciated...
Michael
PS: I just downloaded the latest stable version 1.3.6 today...
