Re: new policy for packages
=== - Original Message - From: Corinna Vinschen [EMAIL PROTECTED] postgreSQL needs cygipc. Luckily it's not a *new* packahge :) Yes! Actually it's postgreSQL and similar that concern me: postgreSQL needs ipc, but ipc is not a package, and won't be unless the cygwin IPC looks waaay to far off (the thought being that having cygipc in will reduce motivation to 'do the right thing'). But on the other hand, we can't delay all packages that require IPC can we? So I'm mainly prompting discussion, hoping we can take what is 'common sense' now, and provide a reasonable guideline on setup.html, that most folk here will agree with. This will give a more solid answer when folk do request things - like kde/rpm/postgreSQL that have significant requirements. Rob
Re: new policy for packages
=== - Original Message - From: Gareth Pearce [EMAIL PROTECTED] This makes sense to me - however I was wondering to what extent. 1. no packages which have run-time dependencies on non-packaged. Yes. 2. no packages which have Build time dependencies on non-packaged during 'standard' compile. 3. as 2 but even if the code distributes an 'internal' copy. Hmm, less concerned about these while setup doesn't support build-depends. Once it does, perhaps a case by case approach. While Chuck goes to heroic efforts (and I'm leveraging off those :}) to make building trivial, the key for binary distro's is to remove the need for users to build - thus making building a significantly lower priority. 4. no packages which can have build time dependencies on non-packaged with an additional configure flag or similar. This one is insane :}. Most packages have configure options for different platforms, and this would exclude them - including many of our current packages. Another requirement consideration - which I am unsure if would be wanted - but thought I might put it up for discussion. All 'library' style packages must provide dynamic link libraries (if possible?). No. I think it's preferred, but certainly not a requirement. bfd for instance isn't available on win32 as a .dll. It would be nice if it was though :]. I was considering looking at packaging up slang or a few other things - but thought that not providing dynamic libs would be the wrong move to take, and due to lack of experience in making 'good' dynamic libraries on my behalf - decided I would put it off, (prehaps hoping someone else would do it) Start with static libraries, and as you get more experienced start with the easy ones then to the harder ones, making them dynamic. I'm happy to provide tips, as (I think) Chuck is on .dllizing libraries. libtool libraries are easy, and my -shared and --auto-export hack to libtool has been accepted, so we should have offical support soon for that. Rob
Re: new policy for packages
- Original Message - From: Gerrit P. Haase [EMAIL PROTECTED] Runtime only prerequisites? Essentially. Complex build time would be a concern, but not as much of one (depending on the reputation of the packager). (i.e. long time contributor, low risk. New contributor, might package and run :}). e.g. in rpm-4 there are db sources included in the source package which are statically linked in. I think this is really obvious. If I want to include a package which needs a dynamic version of db and the people are not able to fetch an official port then I will go on and build this needed db too. Build and contribute as a package I presume? Yes, in fact that is the intent - to make it obvious that such will be *expected* if someone wants to contribute a package. But to avoid discussions it should be mentioned at the guidelines. Exactly. Rob

RE: problem with using xsetroot without window manager
As a matter of fact, that is how it works. It is a design feature of XFree86 (and most other X-Servers) to perform a reset when the number of client connections goes to zero. In your case (and as discussed before) the xsetroot program is the only client connected, so after it set's the root background, it disconnects and XWin resets. AFIK this behavior is not optional. You need to re-order the sequence of client starts, so that there is a persistent client (like an xterm or the window manager, or...) -D - David Dawson [EMAIL PROTECTED] 703-367-3885 -Original Message- From: Ralf Habacker [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 11, 2002 2:34 AM To: Cygwin-Xfree Subject: problem with using xsetroot without window manager Hi, I'm using the latest Xserver Test Release and have recognized a problem, when starting some apps without any window manager.

Re: briangenisio@yahoo.com
Yeah, with 100ms - 350ms, I know for a fact that Netscape is very slow. I am not sure if you know much about the X protocol, but a simple X program, such as xterm will send about 20 protocol messages out... Many of the X protocol messages are roundtrip and serial... Because of this, if you have (pseudo)code that does something like this : OpenDisplay CreateWindow GetGC GetFont Then you have AT_LEAST 4 round trip messages, assuming 1 message per call. (This is very often not the case) With low latency, this is not a problem, but let's assume a latency of 250ms. 4 round-trip messages will take 1 second!!! This is huge. Netscape, unfortuanately, is nowhere near a simple application. I have done some playing (using xmond), and found that Netscape makes tens of thousands of X protocol calls. Of course, not all of them are round trip, but the ones that are will hurt :( You can do the math... It could take close to forever for Netscape to come up... and when it does, it will be so painful to use, that it wont be worth it. You might find a more efficient browser... lnyx, (like you mentioned) would be one. You might also try dillo (dillo.sourceforge.net) It is a very simple browser that will be much more effiecient to use over a latency such as that. If dillo is not enough for you (It might not be), I know that Opera (Opera.com) boasts to be the fastest Web browser on earth... so we would hope that it has some more streamlined X communication, but I cant say for sure.

Re: briangenisio@yahoo.com
Yeah... I didnt know for sure which ones did, and which ones didnt cause round trip... I was simply giving examples Regardless, there are PLENTY of round-trip messages in Netscape. (xmond will show them.) Pixmaps cause high net traffic, but arent effected as much by latency as they are bandwidth. A DSL Cable modem usually doesnt have a problem with the pixmap transfer... Unless there is a lot of pixmap transfer, such as annimation. Still, it is a straight push, and latency matters much less in these cases. I have written applications that were able to load large pixmaps quickly across DSL or Cablemodem, but have also written programs with too many XSync calls (roundtrip wrapper that uses GetInputFocus), causing them to be unusable over Cable or DSL... It all depends if the designer cared about round-trip or not. Almost all Motif widgets use XSync calls, as well as calls that are not streamlined for latency. I would make a gross assumption that Netscape uses Motif, or other widget sets that are probably not extremely efficient. A possible help to the problem might be ssh X compression. It does a bit for pixmap transfer. LBX also can help a little on latency... There is a plain old X compressor out there as well... but I cant remember the name.

Kylix Installation???
Hi, folks! has anybody installed Kylix under Cygwin/XFree? I tried running the installer, but it doesn't seem to like Cygwin, and it fails to run complaining of the versions of gcc and a few libraries. If anybody knows the way to get it running, I would like to know. Thanks, Marcus Vinicius Eiffle Duarte, M.Sc.

Dear Friends Future Millionaires: Invest in technology that will make you money. AS SEEN ON NATIONAL TV: Making over half million dollars every 4 to 5 months from your home? A one-time investment of only $25 U.S. Dollars let's get you on the road to financial success. ALL THANK'S TO THE COMPUTER AGE AND THE INTERNET ! === BE A MILLIONAIRE LIKE OTHERS WITHIN A YEAR!!! Before you say ''Bull'', please read the following. This is the letter you have been hearing about on the news lately. Due to the popularity of this letter on the Internet, a national weekly news program recently devoted an entire show to the investigation of this program described below, to see if it really can make people money. The show also investigated whether or not the program was legal. Their findings proved once and for all that there are ''absolutely NO Laws prohibiting the participation in the program and if people can follow the simple instructions, they are bound to make some mega bucks with only$25 out of pocket cost''. DUE TO THE RECENT INCREASE OF POPULARITY RESPECT THIS PROGRAM HAS ATTAINED, IT IS CURRENTLY WORKING BETTER THAN EVER. This is what one had to say: ''Thanks to this profitable opportunity. I was approached many times before but each time I passed on it. I am so glad I finally joined just to see what one could expect in return for the minimal effort and money required. To my astonishment, I received a total of $610,470.00 in 21 weeks, with money still coming in. Pam Hedland, Fort Lee, New Jersey. Here is another testimonial: This program has been around for a long time but I never believed in it. But one day when I received this again in the mail I decided to gamble my $25 on it. I followed the simple instructions and walaa . 3 weeks later the money started to come in. First month I only made $240.00 but the next 2 months after that I made a total of $290,000.00. So far, in the past 8 months by re-entering the program, I have made over $710,000.00 and I am playing it again. The key to success in this program is to follow the simple steps and NOT change anything.'' More testimonials later but first, =PRINT THIS NOW FOR YOUR FUTUREREFERENCE= $$ If you would like to make at least $500,000 every 4 to 5 months easily and comfortably, please read the following...THEN READ IT AGAIN and AGAIN!!! $$ FOLLOW THE SIMPLE INSTRUCTION BELOW AND YOUR FINANCIAL DREAMS WILL COME TRUE, GUARANTEED! INSTRUCTIONS: =Order all 5 reports shown on the list below = For each report, send $5 CASH, THE NAME NUMBER OF THE REPORT YOU ARE ORDERING and YOUR E- MAIL ADDRESS to the person whose name appears ON THAT LIST next to the report. MAKE SURE YOUR RETURN ADDRESS IS ON YOUR ENVELOPE TOP LEFT CORNER in case of any mail problems. === When you place your order, make sure you order each of the 5 reports. You will need all 5 reports so that you can save them on your computer and RESELL them. YOUR TOTAL COST $5 X 5=$25.00. Within a few days you will receive, vie e-mail, each of the 5 reports from these 5 different individuals. Save them on your computer so they will be accessible for you to send to the 1,000's of people who will order them from you. Also make a floppy of these reports and keep them on your desk in case something happens to your computer. IMPORTANT - DO NOT alter the names of the people who are listed next to each report, or their sequence on the list, in any way other than what is instructed below in step '' 1 through 6 '' or you will loose out on majority of your profits. Once you understand the way this works, you will also see how it does not work if you change it. Remember, this method has been tested, and if you alter, it will NOT work !!! People have tried to put their friends/relatives names on all five thinking they could get all the money. But it does not work this way. Believe us, we all have tried to be greedy and then nothing happened. So Do Not try to change anything other than what is instructed. Because if you do, it will not work for you. Remember, honesty reaps the reward!!! 1 After you have ordered all 5 reports, take this advertisement and REMOVE the name address of the person in REPORT # 5. This person has made it through the cycle and is no doubt counting their fortune. 2 Move the name address in REPORT # 4 down TO REPORT # 5. 3 Move the name address in REPORT # 3 down TO REPORT # 4. 4 Move the name address in REPORT # 2 down TO REPORT # 3. 5 Move the name address in REPORT # 1 down TO REPORT # 2 6 Insert YOUR name address in the REPORT # 1 Position.

Re: Setting up user mode cron

But it's whining for a good cause! :-) So, why aren't you going to roll up your sleeves and create a really useful patch? That's better than whining, I think. This cron seems to support setting a MAILTO environment variable to tell cron where to mail output in case of errors. Could it not simply additionally support USERNAME and PASSWD environment variables that, if present in the crontab would cause cron to change user context with asking for logon credentials? Of course of concern would be the possibly cleartext PASSWD. Perhaps PASSWD could be required to be encrypted like that usually in bona fide Unix /etc/passwd (/etc/shadow) files. It's just a thought of a possible workaround to a possibly bad situation. You can't encrypt the passwd as in UNIX. These are asymmetrically encryptions. You can't get the original passwd back. Your proposition would need a symmetrically encrypted password which means, the encryption key is either hardcoded in cron (URGH) or it's evaluated by some deterministical function (urgh). And you would of course need an extra tool to create the encrypted from the cleartext password to allow a user to type it into his/her crontab file.

Now it is a problem, since the one trailing 0 byte doesn't exist. Segmentation fault. IOW, I don't see how the 4K vs 64K thing affects this scenario, it seems to be driven purely by the fact the m != 1. Sorry but you didn't understand or I don't understand your above reasoning which is likely. GCC isn't broken (from the gcc's engineers point of view) but it's using a property of mmap: mmap always maps whole pages and the trailing unused bytes in a mmap'd page are always zeroed out. This fact is used for some sort of speed up when reading header files. IMO that's ugly but... Anyway, gcc reads a C header file just as a string with trailing 0. For that reason gcc has to know the pagesize of the system, returned by getpagesize(). If the file size is not exactly a multiple of the pagesize, you always have a trailing zero so gcc can use the above method. If a file has no trailing 0 byte (which would happen very seldom) gcc would have to fallback to another method (I do know nothing about). Now, the pagesize on Windows is 4K. If the file size is coincidentally 4096 or 8192 or any other multiple of 4K, gcc knows that it has to fallback to it's slow method since getpagesize() has returned the correct value. If we change getpagesize() to return the granularity (64K) instead of the pagesize, gcc would wrongly assume that the file doesn't exactly match the pagesize so it would assume that it can use the fast method and would expect a trailing 0 byte.

Subject: Re: Compiling apps to Mingw32 with cygwin
Using `gcc -mno-cygwin' is switching the build environment to MinGW. It
says use the headers in /usr/include/mingw instead of /usr/include and
to use the libraries in /usr/lib/mingw instead of the ones in /usr/lib.
Thus you're switching the build environment to MinGW.
I already understand the implications of using the -mno-cygwin switch. To be
more precise, -mno-cygwin does NOT tell GCC to use /usr/lib/mingw INSTEAD of
the ones in /usr/lib. GCC, by generic default, will ALWAYS look in /usr/lib
if it doesn't find the libraries it's looking for elsewhere. I recently
posted a topic about this.
The key to our lack of agreement is terminology, perhaps due to me. I
understand that the -mno-cygwin switch causes Cygwin-GCC to generate MinGW
binaries, but the switch is actually driven by the specs file. Cygwin-GCC is
still a Cygwin binary. All other tools are still Cygwin binaries. I am not
so sure that warrants the phrase MinGW build environment. It seems to me
that I'm still using a Cygwin build environment to generate MinGW binaries.
Not in the sense of what the build environment means to
AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM, in those terms you are switching the build
environment. If you were using a true cross build system for MinGW
then, yes you would be correct. Since `gcc -mno-cygwin' isn't a true
cross build system then you're not correct. The -mno-cygwin switch
changes the build environment from Cygwin to MinGW.
In his last email on this topic, Robert Collins confirmed for me that it
would be appropriate to specify --build=i686-pc-cygwin
and --host=i686-pc-mingw32. (I've intentionally left --target out since it's
not pertinent to this part of the discussion).
And if `gcc -mno-cygwin' where a true cross build system then yes it
apples. However, it's not and the -mno-cygwin changes the build
environment to mingw32.
The symlink approach (i.e. i386-pc-mingw32-gcc) might be appropriate for
No, the poster has a wrapper script he named mgcc. The symlink was for
binutils binaries.
Actually, it was me (not the poster) that has an mgcc wrapper script. I
was the one who suggested it.
I still don't understand why I'd want to symlink the binutils binaries. I
WANT the Cygwin binutils. They don't generate object code; they operate on
it. The Cygwin binutils do a fine job (as Cygwin binaries) operating on
MinGW binaries. I've never had a problem.
To emulate the cross build system. Then you could safely use the
switches as you desire.
latter versions of autoconf, but it does not work for earlier
versions. I
contribute to the OpenLDAP project, specifically its MinGW
support. To build
MinGW OpenLDAP, I've also got to build regex-0.12, gdbm-1.8.0, and
libtool-1.4.2. As far as I can tell, none of the configure
scripts in these
projects conform to the notion of looking for ${host}-gcc or any other
${host}-tool. In these projects, the solution I pointed out works
flawlessly:
CC=mgcc ./configure --host=i686-pc-mingw32
Not all configure.in contains AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM. Try ones that do.
E.G.: binutils, gcc.
I understand that configure.in scripts written properly or in a standard
manner will make proper use of --host, --build, and --target. My point is
that not all projects do use it properly. It still requires that the project
builder be aware. Without awareness, more and more people will post to
mailing lists stating: Hey, I used these switches as documented in
Autoconf, and it didn't work right.
Which should mean that the maintainer of the package at least get a bug
fix report with patch so that the next release has it corrected.
Earnie.

Ash spawning win32 programs (was Re: bash/cmd CTRL-C problem...)
- Original Message - From: Andy Piper [EMAIL PROTECTED] Many thanks for looking at this. While the iron is hot - this problem is still outstanding and I don't know whether you would expect this to be fixed also: Can I suggest you start a new thread when the topic changes, it helps prevent confusion - particulary if the original thread hangs around. Interactive bash shell starts: - shell script using ash starts: - java program ^C-ing the script does not have any visible effect (i.e. the java program is not killed). As noted previously this problem is resolved if you make /bin/sh be bash rather than ash. Hmm. I'll look into this is you will :}. I suspect that ash uses vfork rather than fork+exec to start it's child process's. That may result in no cygwin stub existing. here's what you need to do: write an ash script that prints out it's pid, and (if you can get it) the cygwin pid of the java program. Start the ash script in the background, and then use ps. See if the java program appears in ps. If it does - check via task manager or process explorer to see if the reported cygwin pid is the same as the actual java.exe pid. If it doesn't appear, then no cygwin stub exists, and quite some work may be needed to *efficiently* create such a virtual process. (it would be quite trivial via the daemon :}) If it does appear, and the shown cygwin pid is the same as the java.exe pid, then no stub exists, but the bulk of the code to have a 'virtual' process is there, but signals aren't working correctly. If it does appear, and the shown cygwin pid is different than the actual java.exe pid, then there is a stub, and things should be working correctly - I'll take a direct look at this point.

So that does work, right? Or are you trying to confuse me again??? :) What doesn't kill us makes us stronger. IF build were tested correctly yes. But it's not currently tested - it defaults to host IFF host is defined. This rule is changed for 2.50 and greater. Build no longer takes on the value of host and you're warned about this when specifying --host without specifying --build. IIRC, if you specify build without host then host takes on the value of build but I may be wrong on this point. Earnie. _ Do You Yahoo!?

gcc/ld problem
Hallo Cygwinners, I'm trying to link a library with gcc -shared plus some ld options: gcc -shared -o Zlib.dll -Wl,--out-implib=libZlib.dll.a -Wl,--output-def libZlib.def -Wl,--export-all-symbols -Wl,--enable-auto-import \ -L/usr/local/lib Zlib.o /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.7.2/cygwin-multi-64int/CORE/libperl.dll.a -L/usr/local/lib -lz gcc: libZlib.def: No such file or directory Now I'm getting this error. I thought -Wl,--output-def name.def is the option to tell ld that it should create this .def file, now I'm confused, why does it tell me No such file or directory? From the ld --help output: ... --out-implib fileGenerate import library --output-def fileGenerate a .DEF file for the built DLL ... And the .info says: `--output-def FILE' The linker will create the file FILE which will contain a DEF file corresponding to the DLL the linker is generating. This DEF file (which should be called `*.def') may be used to create an import library with `dlltool' or may be used as a reference to automatically or implicitly exported symbols. It works well if I skip this flag. It works well if I do a: $ touch libZlib.def before running gcc -shared. Is this the expected way? Do I have to create an empty .def file before linking? Or is something with my setup broken? Do I need .def files?

I don't see how you can sign away the rights to any patches that you make if you have been working on code that is covered by this license. Actually, having reviewed my patches, it's only patch based on AST - the $SHELL patch. I'm imitating the AST function pathshell() there. Now, since Corinna has made clear to me that there's no real super user on Cygwin, half of the patch is nonsense anyway and can be removed. Two other patches mimic UWIN behavior.

RE: ksh on cygwin
If we just left out that patch we won't have a problem. OK. Two other patches mimic UWIN behavior. That can not be a problem, since Cygwin also has adopted the UWIN symbolics links. Mimicing isn't a problem as long as you didn't look into the sources and get the idea from there. If you just looked how it works from examining the behaviour of the binaries, that's ok. Again, I cannot have had a look into the sources. They are not available to the public. I got the ideas a) from the UWIN mailing list (the add .exe on close patch, see http://www.research.att.com/lists/uwin-users/2001/08/msg00043.html) b) from playing with the binaries (rename() and link() logic) Glenn and David commented a bit on those on request. Their comments were something like: Don't add the .exe extension to b on rename(a.exe, b)! Specifying an .exe extension indicates that the users knows what he's doing. [I had first added .exe to b, because I thought UWIN was wrong in this case.] Again, no code and not even implementation details. I believe that wouldn't have helped me either, as I don't know their underlying data structures and they do not know Cygwin's. I've invented my own implementations. There are no other UWIN related patches than those. All other patches are bug fixes or small corrections to make Cygwin behave more consistent. I found something interesting in the archives, see http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2001-02/msg00417.html. He didn't need a release from ATT, did he? There's a difference. He didn't contribute to Cygwin beyond May 2000 and his contributions weren't AST or U/Win related at all. I was just trying to be picky :-) Licensing issues are really a big *@#$ but we have to be careful. We may not even take any code which smells GPL. It would infect the Cygwin Library License. For that reason we're most happy about completely self-written code or copies/ports of BSD licensed source. Are the issues cleared now?

This is a lot harder to solve than the one Chris and I just solved. The fundamental difference being that when you CTRL-C in the console window, every attached program recieves a win32 CTRLC interrupt. Your java program - by virtue of not quitting - is either deliberately ignoring those interrupts, or is a gui program with a hidden window. (are you running javaw or javac?). Its a console app that happily responds to ^C. If you run it directly from within bash then ^C works, so I assume from what you say above that this is a bug of some description. For console programs, the CTRL-C in the window should work fine. kill (script) won't work (because no keyboard interrupt is generated). BTW with the script started in the background (or indeed fg and ^Z) kill %1 does not work (it used to) it is reported as terminated but is still running. The script dies quite happily for me. The win32 process doesn't though (as expected). I guess I don't understand why this is expected. It always used to work (i.e. the subprocess would get killed also). The key question here is : what semantics should apply to a _non signal aware program_ when cygwin detects a signal is generated for it? I.e., to pick a couple, for SIGINT and SIGKILL. One is obvious, we call (IIRC) TerminateProcess and *boom* it's gone. Hope your work was saved. Er, why isn't it signal aware.

Proposed Mailing List Page Reorg (was: RE: No stderr output)
A while ago I was helping students that were new to bash and UNIX and I wrote a little guide in HTML. Late I put together Cygwin-Lite (Cygwin on a floppy) and added the guide. This was before the setup.exe changes that made a minimal install easy. I've stopped updating Cygwin-Lite but I think the webpage is useful: http://cygwin-lite.sourceforge.net/html/begin.html At the bottom there are lots of links to other useful information.

I've been cogitating for a while that it could be mutually beneficial to inexperienced users and regulars' blood pressures alike if the Cygwin mailing list page listed a few concrete URLs to such newbie lists/newsgroups/FAQs etc, and at the same time reworked the wording on the description of this particular list. Currently it says, If you have questions about how to use Cygwin, or any of its tools (bash, gcc, make, etc.), this is the list for you. That means: If you have any question whatsoever regarding anything you can associate somehow with Cygwin, post it here. That's simply not the intention of the list (at least since I've been around), nor should it be, but the description simply gives no indication of the true intent, i.e. Cygwin-specific questions only need apply. Now as for where best to send people, I have no idea (maybe some can just point into the appropriate section of the FAQ). But here's a rough outline of what I'm thinking: Help With The Tools Packaged With Cygwin Can't figure out the bash command line syntax? Don't know what a HOME is? What-ular expressions?

Re: RPM installer needed for my PHP project
Well, I just want to know - what's the thing that prevented the db package from being ported so long ? Is it extremly difficulk or it's just a matter of no one having the time/interest of doing it ? I may be interested in maintaing this package but what some details first :) Charles Wilson wrote: Please search the mailing list archives (cygwin and cygwin-apps) where the RPM issue has been ENDLESSLY discussed.

Basic shell questions are not really appropriate here -- especially given the recent volume we've been experiencing. I've been cogitating for a while that it could be mutually beneficial to inexperienced users and regulars' blood pressures alike if the Cygwin mailing list page listed a few concrete URLs to such newbie lists/newsgroups/FAQs etc, and at the same time reworked the wording on the description of this particular list. Currently it says, If you have questions about how to use Cygwin, or any of its tools (bash, gcc, make, etc.), this is the list for you. That means: If you have any question whatsoever regarding anything you can associate somehow with Cygwin, post it here. That's simply not the intention of the list (at least since I've been around), nor should it be, but the description simply gives no indication of the true intent, i.e. Cygwin-specific questions only need apply. Now as for where best to send people, I have no idea (maybe some can just point into the appropriate section of the FAQ). But here's a rough outline of what I'm thinking: Help With The Tools Packaged With Cygwin Can't figure out the bash command line syntax? Don't know what a HOME is? What-ular expressions?

The problem is that I am already working on two projects : - converting PHP classes and applications to an integrated framework of RPM ready-to-use files. I need help on the RPM side at $W. - building an open source global Home Location Registry (HLR) and VLR databases for future i802.11a applications. This has nothing to do with RPM. I am too busy to maintain RPM under $W. Yep, that's pretty much what I expected. Can anyone help? I feel like Windows has no future... Overly dramatic much? I mean, long term, of course you are correct. In 4B years, our sun will explode and cook everything on earth -- and by then even MS will be extinct. db mostly builds -- as a static lib -- OOB. I've already ported db-2.7.7 and 3.1.x so that it builds as a DLL and made that available on my website and to the various people who get excited about RPM...who then dissappear. I'm not too keen on supporting something -- when even the excited users aren't motivated enough to take a PRE-EXISTING port and just maintain the damn thing. Geez -- I even ported rpm and provided it on my website. Dunno anything about db-4.x. (Oh, and given the lack of testing, there may be unresolved binary/text mount issues with my ports of db and/or rpm) It's not windows that has no future -- it's the level of participation of people who want rpm that will trend to zero. Cynical theory: Anyone who wants a cygwin port of rpm will not ever become an active contributor nor participate in cygwin development. Anyone who complains about setup.exe reinventing the wheel by using .tar.bz2 distribution formats instead of rpm/dpkg will whine bitterly for a week, and then dissappear -- and perhaps pop up with a new sourceforge project that will purport to provide cygwin with rpm that is an incomplete version of our platform. Further this cygwin-rpm-sourceforge project will die in less than six months -- but will lead to endless questions on our mailing list about this deviant and unsupported distribution. (Yes, it's happened at least twice already). Sorry if that seems bitter -- but I've observed the pattern : new poster, rpm -- WAY too many times to just shrug it off. --Chuck -- 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/

ssh w/ntsec and password auth
The story so far: nt 4.0, sshd running, inetd running, CYGWIN=ntsec. I can telnet to my machine and login successfully. I can ssh to my machine using a generated identity (ssh-usr-config) successfully. id shows uid=11340(campbe_r) gid=10513(Domain Users) groups=0(Everyone),10513(Domain User s),12109(Exchange Outlook Web Access) which seems reasonable. If I remove the generated identity and attempt to ssh to my machine using password authentication, the login fails (relevant output from sshd -d -d): Failed password for campbe_r from 192.168.102.74 port 3223 ssh2 What should I try at this point? I checked the mailing list archives (and ntsec and sshd both have massive hits but nothing that seemed relevant), looked at /usr/docs/Cygwin/(login, openssh, inetutils), and checked the users guide. cygcheck -s -v -r output is included below. -Richard Campbell.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] New on sourceware: Whois
The most recent version of GNU Whois (4.5.17) has been uploaded to sourceware. The whois client allows you to query a whois db (RFC-812). Using whois you can get information on a domain name (whois redhat.com), IP addresses (whois 1.2.3.4), and more. This tool is commonly used to determine the owner of a domain or block of addresses, as well as get their contact information. You can also get partial matches. See what happens when you ask for microsoft.com (whois microsoft.com). SOURCE == The latest stable version of GNU Whois can be found at: http://www.gnu.org/directory/whois.html The latest non-stable version can be found at: http://www.linux.it/~md/software/ INSTALLATION To update your installation, click on the Install Cygwin now link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Then, run setup and answer all of the questions. To select the whois package click on the Net category and click on the skip field until 4.5.17-1 is displayed. Note that downloads aren't allowed from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) due to bandwidth limitations. This means that you will need to find a mirror which has this update. In the US, ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ is a reliable high bandwidth connection. In Germany, ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/pc/gnuwin32/cygwin/mirrors/cygnus/ is usually pretty good. In the UK, http://programming.ccp14.ac.uk/ftp-mirror/programming/cygwin/pub/cygwin/ is usually up-to-date within 48 hours. If one of the above doesn't have the latest version of this package then you can either wait for the site to be updated or find another mirror. The setup.exe program will figure out what needs to be updated on your system and will install newer packages automatically. If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin mailing list at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] . I would appreciate it if you would use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly. This includes ideas and comments about the setup utility or Cygwin in general. If you want to make a point or ask a question, the Cygwin mailing list is the appropriate place. -- 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/

But it's whining for a good cause! :-) So, why aren't you going to roll up your sleeves and create a really useful patch? As soon as I can receive compensation for it! I'm sorry but I don't work for free or at least I do not have the time, resources nor inclination to work for free at this time. You can classify this as whining if you like :-). This cron seems to support setting a MAILTO environment variable to tell cron where to mail output in case of errors. Could it not simply additionally support USERNAME and PASSWD environment variables that, if present in the crontab would cause cron to change user context with asking for logon credentials? Of course of concern would be the possibly cleartext PASSWD. Perhaps PASSWD could be required to be encrypted like that usually in bona fide Unix /etc/passwd (/etc/shadow) files. It's just a thought of a possible workaround to a possibly bad situation. You can't encrypt the passwd as in UNIX. These are asymmetrically encryptions. You can't get the original passwd back. Your proposition would need a symmetrically encrypted password which means, the encryption key is either hardcoded in cron (URGH) or it's evaluated by some deterministical function (urgh). And you would of course need an extra tool to create the encrypted from the cleartext password to allow a user to type it into his/her crontab file. OK, let's look at this another way. When one uses POP or IMAP to retrieve email one must authenticate one's username and password to the server to retrieve the email. Therefore somewhere the username and password is stored. For example, when using POP with Netscape to retrieve email from a mail server, Netscape stores the username and password somewhere (a configuration file or the registry). For security, Netscape encrypts the password in some fashion before storing it. When needed Netscape retrieves this information, unencrypts it and sends it along to the mail server so that the user is authenticated and the email is retrieved. Why then can't Cygwin's cron do something similar? -- 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/

setup.ini for custom distrobution

I wrote a script to create the setup.ini, but I'm not yet satisfied because when I execute setup.exe most of the packages are set for 'skip'. The setup.exe and setup.ini files are both on a CD and the packages that I want are in the contrib/latest subdirectories. This is on the first install, not a reinstall. How can I write a setup.ini so that it will install everything without having to click on 40 packages? If this is a RTFM situation, please show me the Fine Manual.

Assuming the former, did you notice that it refers to mypoj not myproj? Perhaps there's some corruption in you CVS repository in the form of that error in a file or directory name. I typed it manually and it is misspelled in my message, it should be ... cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot open directory .../CVS/myproj/Attic: Not a directory ... Otherwise, I can see nothing obvious amiss. I'm using cygwin on two different boxes (at home and at work) and on both have the same thing: cvs co -r wants Attic directory exist in the repository module. Only if i manually create Attic in the repository module (just cd .../CVS/myproj and mkdir Attic) then cvs co -r mytag myproj works right. The same happens with all my local projects, even with newly created dummy project for testing this exact situation.

Re: Setting up user mode cron

IOW I guess what I'm saying is that *something* should be done (I know you can see this as whining and perhaps it is. But it's whining for a good cause! :-) So, why aren't you going to roll up your sleeves and create a really useful patch? As soon as I can receive compensation for it! I'm sorry but I don't work for free or at least I do not have the time, resources nor inclination to work for free at this time. You can classify this as whining if you like :-). This cron seems to support setting a MAILTO environment variable to tell cron where to mail output in case of errors. Could it not simply additionally support USERNAME and PASSWD environment variables that, if present in the crontab would cause cron to change user context with asking for logon credentials? Of course of concern would be the possibly cleartext PASSWD. Perhaps PASSWD could be required to be encrypted like that usually in bona fide Unix /etc/passwd (/etc/shadow) files. It's just a thought of a possible workaround to a possibly bad situation. You can't encrypt the passwd as in UNIX. These are asymmetrically encryptions. You can't get the original passwd back. Your proposition would need a symmetrically encrypted password which means, the encryption key is either hardcoded in cron (URGH) or it's evaluated by some deterministical function (urgh). And you would of course need an extra tool to create the encrypted from the cleartext password to allow a user to type it into his/her crontab file. OK, let's look at this another way. When one uses POP or IMAP to retrieve email one must authenticate one's username and password to the server to retrieve the email. Therefore somewhere the username and password is stored. For example, when using POP with Netscape to retrieve email from a mail server, Netscape stores the username and password somewhere (a configuration file or the registry). For security, Netscape encrypts the password in some fashion before storing it. When needed Netscape retrieves this information, unencrypts it and sends it along to the mail server so that the user is authenticated and the email is retrieved. Why then can't Cygwin's cron do something similar? Perhaps because I don't get compensation for it. I *am* working on Cygwin as a volunteer as everyone else and I'm sorry to say that, I'm actually not interested in your problem with cron. It works for me. Either someone else is going to contribute something like that or you can simply forget it. Full stop.

Kylix Installation???
Hi, folks! has anybody installed Kylix under Cygwin/XFree? I tried running the installer, but it doesn't seem to like Cygwin, and it fails to run complaining of the versions of gcc and a few libraries. If anybody knows the way to get it running, I would like to know. Thanks, Marcus Vinicius Eiffle Duarte, M.Sc.

Re: CVS 1.11: cvs co -r works Ok with cygwin-20020110 snapshot -- Thanks to everybody!!!
Yes!!! I got it: I've downloaded the cygwin-20020110.dll snapshot and cvs co -r works right now! Two things: 1) Excuse me kindly for the tone of my messages -- i was really upset and did not know what to do; 2) I'm sorry, i did not understand the answer from Chris Faylor correctly: i never downloaded the cygwin snapshots directly before -- i always use setup.exe for upgrading. So every day after i read Chris's answer i tried setup.exe, but got no new release of cygwin (or cvs), and i thought that something continues to be wrong...

It can be normal in Cygwin due to the way inode numbers are emulated. Neither FAT nor NTFS actually have inode numbers so we're using a funny guessing method (nah, actually a hashvalue generated from the pathname). Look into the implementation of fhandler_disk_file::fstat().

Well, I just want to know - what's the thing that prevented the db

I may be interested in maintaing this package but what some details
first :)
Great, there are existing ports to start with, or start with 4.x series,
I have it up and running here with shared libs, no problems so far (but
I use only binmode mounts on NT). The problems are with textmode
mounts, FAT filesystems which needs investigation and a lots of testing.
db-4.0 builds OOB with static libs and it is no issue to create a .dll
from a shared lib with:
^
Nonono, from a static lib, to create a shared lib you need the static lib
or at least the object files.
gcc -shared -o cyg${module}.dll -Wl,--out-implib=lib${module}.dll.a
-Wl,--export-all-symbols -Wl,--enable-auto-import -Wl,--whole-archive $old_lib
-Wl,--no-whole-archive ${dependency_libs}
I use it every day. Instead of -Wl,--whole-archive $old_lib you can
also take the single objects list to build a .dll.
What will last a 'little' longer is testing and debugging and patching
to get it run on Win98 with the FAT fs and to make it useable on
textmode mounts.
Take a look at an existing port and what was done there:

Re: Ash spawning win32 programs (was Re: bash/cmd CTRL-C problem...)
- Original Message - From: Andy Piper [EMAIL PROTECTED] Its a console app that happily responds to ^C. If you run it directly from within bash then ^C works, so I assume from what you say above that this is a bug of some description. Have you tried the latest snapshot and confirmed that this still occurs? If you have not done this then you are _not_ seeing ^C get handled by the application. You are seeing cygwin terminate the process incorrectly (as though Ctrl-Break was hit). I guess I don't understand why this is expected. It always used to work (i.e. the subprocess would get killed also). It's expected because win32 programs don't understand cygwin signals. Console programs that appear to understand signals actually get told by the OS when CTRL-C is hit on the console. The key question here is : what semantics should apply to a _non signal aware program_ when cygwin detects a signal is generated for it? I.e., to pick a couple, for SIGINT and SIGKILL. One is obvious, we call (IIRC) TerminateProcess and *boom* it's gone. Hope your work was saved. Er, why isn't it signal aware. It is AFAIK. I thought this was obvious. Is it linked against cygwin1.dll? No? Then it's not signal aware. Signals are one of the cygwin additions to the win32 platform.
