A couple of setup.exe nits
I found the following nits with the current setup.exe: 1. setup.exe no longer responds to Windows messages during postinstall. I noticed this because one of my postinstall scripts did a SendMessage(HWND_BROADCAST, ...) which caused a deadlock situation. I changed to PostMessage() to workaround the problem. Note that Task Manager also indicates a status of Not Responding. 2. /etc/setup/installed.db indicates files end with .bz2 regardless of their true suffix. I don't know if this will cause problems or not, but I found it disconcerting. Jason
Updated: ghostscript-6.51-4
The Ghostscript package has been updated to include support for the libpng and zlib shared libraries, as suggested by Chuck Wilson. In addition, the package also now has a new setup.hint file included. This release of Ghostscript is an X-less version, i.e. doesn't require the cygwin-xfree libraries to run. This version does not support direct preview. In order to preview Postscript output, it's necessary to rasterize the output to a graphics format (for example, PDF or JPEG) and viewed with a suitable viewer. For build instructions, please read: /usr/doc/Cygwin/ghostscript-6.51.README The instructions have also been included at the end of this message. I want to thank Chuck Wilson for uploading the package. Release Notes -- GNU Ghostscript for Cygwin Version 6.51, Release 4 (6.51-4) (26 February, 2002) This Cygwin version of GNU Ghostscript has been built without support for X. This release now supports the libpng and zlib shared libraries (i.e. these libraries are no longer statically linked in.) REQUIREMENTS: Due to very specific requirements Ghostscript has relating to Postscript's JPEG support, the JPEG shared library cannot be used, and must be statically linked instead. The source for the JPEG library is included in the source package, ready to build with Ghostscript. BUILDING: At a minimum, you must have all the tools needed to build Cygwin programs, i.e. make, gcc, and binutils. In addition, the zlib and libpng shared libraries must be included in your Cygwin installation. Finally, you also need to fetch the source archive, ghostscript-6.51-4-src.tar.gz, from a Cygwin mirror site. Once you have everything required for building, follow these steps: 1. Unpack ghostscript-6.51-4-src.tar.gz (the source is pre-patched to build on Cygwin): $ tar xzf ghostscript-6.51-4-src.tar.gz 2. Build from the top-level source directory: $ cd ghostscript-6.51 ; make -f src/unix-gcc.mak 3. Install the entire package: $ make -f src/unix-gcc.mak install 4. Grab the following font compressed tar files: ftp://mirror.cs.wisc.edu/pub/mirrors/ghost/gnu/fonts: gnu-gs-fonts-std-6.0.tar.gz (required) gnu-gs-fonts-other-6.0.tar.gz (optional, recommended) Unpack them into /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts (font directory contained within tar file): $ tar xzCf /usr/share/ghostscript gnu-gs-fonts-*-6.0.tar.gz 5. Once you install it, you can test it: $ gs -sDEVICE=jpeg -dBATCH -sOutputFile=tiger.jpg \ /usr/share/ghostscript/6.51/examples/tiger.ps The Cygwin patches are in CYGWIN-PATCHES, along with this file.

RE: Log filling up
Modifying the code to put the log in /dev/null certainly doesn't seem like an attractive solution. If I were to go that far, I would rather just search for where the particular message is output that is causing the problem and disable it. Do others not have this problem? The only unique thing about my setup is that I use Andrei Gourianov's goScreen as a virtual desktop manager under windows. I haven't tested to see if this affects the XWin.log or not. I can't imagine that it would, since the log fills up even when my desktop is set to the one where X is running, so it shouldn't see any difference. What is the purpose of this message (winCursorOffScreen () - hmm...)? It seems pretty useless. It would seem like a good idea to be able to configure where the log file goes, though.

RE: Log filling up
Cary, What is the purpose of this message (winCursorOffScreen () - hmm...)? It seems pretty useless. The message is mostly useless. The message was put there as sort of a heads up in case someone every reported seeing the message... then we would know that we need to implement the function. However, something on your system is apparently causing bogus mouse movement messages to be sent to Cygwin/XFree86. I think the better solution would be to fix whatever program is sending the bogus mouse messages (probably goScreen). It would seem like a good idea to be able to configure where the log file goes, though. That's actually pretty difficult to do because there are several log file messages that get printed before we see whether or not there is a -log command line parameter being passed. Thus, we would have to allocate some temporary storage for log messages printed before the -log parameter, then redirect those messages as necessary if we see a -log parameter, or else dump those messages to the screen if we don't see a -log parameter. Now, I don't know about you, or anyone else on this project, but I'm busting my ass on my last semester of my senior year of college. In other words, you'll have to convince someone else to fix this problem for you, or you'll have to fix it yourself.

I think I'll play around and try to determine what is causing the message, be it goScreen or whatever, first. I'd rather make this change than never have any log output by redirecting the log to /dev/null. Of course, things always take longer than expected - I'm sure I'm missing some other cygwin stuff to be able to do a quick 30 minute change (like gcc, for one). Wait, I could just do a binary edit and change that string to null, like Alexander suggested I do to the /tmp/XWin.log string to change it to /dev/null\0 Outputting a null string shouldn't fill up the log. I'll give that a try after I figure out if goScreen or what is the culprit. Harold Cary --- Cary Jamison [EMAIL PROTECTED] (801) 705-8685 voice (801) 705-4685 fax
Update on log filling up
Well, I was wrong. I thought I was getting tons of winCursorOffScreen () - hmm... messages in my log file, when actually the culprit is winShadowUpdateDDNL () - IDirectDrawSurface4_Blt () failed: 887601c2 The thing is my log was so big I could not tail or more it. I was using head and saw a few of the hmm messages and assumed those were the problem. Turns out I always get those occasionally as I move the mouse around, but they're not a significant problem. Also, the problem is not related to the virtual desktop manager (goScreen) that I am using. (And I do still get hmms whether or not I am running goScreen.) These messages appear when I press CTL-ALT-DEL to get to the XP Lock Workstation button and any X window is being updated (including the X screen saver, which never goes completely blank since it can't go to power-saving mode). I believe my workaround will be to disable the X screen saver, don't need it anyway--it was just going by default, and make sure I don't have any other animations or anything going when I lock my screen.

automatic TZ env-variable in localtime problem with W2000-german
Hello,
I have the following problem, or misunderstandig(!) of TZ variable in
cygwin1.dll.
Problem (and my current solution)
When I do not set TZ to a valid value, all times will be showed as GMT (or
UTC) time.
The automatic generated TZ variable in localtime.cc will generate a name
from GetTimeZoneInformation.
When I test this algorithm in a program, the name will be invalid (longer
than 3 characters).
At the moment I have problems to rebuild the cygwin1.dll (make will make a
lot of things but I do find a simple make cygwin1.dll...)
Is it a good, bad, very bad idea to test the length of the name against 3 to
generate a TZ variable compatible with tzparse?
localtime.cc (not tested, because I was not able to build cygwin1.dll)
GetTimeZoneInformation(tz);
(...)
for (src = tz.StandardName; *src; src++)
if (is_upper(*src)) *dst++ = *src;
/* not 3 characters for timezone _tzname[0] ?
happens for example in Win2000/NT german version
a) tz.StandardName is a WideChar String
b) is very long Westeropaische Normalzeit
generate a TZ variable relative to GMT-x
(if strlen of _tzname is not equal 3 , tzparse will
not accept the TZ variable!)
mkt */
if (strlen(cp) != 3)/* mkt */
{ /* mkt */
strcpy(cp, GMT); /* mkt */
dst = cp + 3;/* mkt */
} /* mkt */
(...) same for the daylight saving time with DST.
When I call this function as a separate routine win32_tzset (roughly written
in win32_tzset.c for my VC program and Cygwin-GNU ports) the TZ variable
will be understood and the correct times will be chown.
pdksh port with a call to win32_tzset to set TZ automatically from Windows

1) The copyrights still need to be changed.
Done.
2) The code formatting still is not correct.
Now piped through indent with a few touch-ups.
3) You have a lot of calls to normalize_posix_path. Is that really
necessary? It seems to be called a lot. If it is really necessary,
I'd prefer that it just be called in dtable::build_fhandler and made
the standard unix_path_name.
Done.
4) Could you generate the diff using 'cvs diff -up
Done. The new files are diff'ed against /dev/null and are appended to the
output of cvs diff.
--snip--
+ if (*path == 0)
+return FH_PROC;
How could this happen?
This occurs when the path is actually just /proc. Compare with
fhandler_proc::exists which does the same thing.
+ int pid = atoi (path);
+ winpids pids;
+ for (unsigned i = 0; i pids.npids; i++)

+
+ if (!proc_exists (p))
+continue;
+
+ if (p-pid == pid)
+return FH_PROCESS;
+}
+ return FH_PROC;
+}
Is this right? If I type /proc/qwerty this returns FH_PROC?
Yes, this is by design. Any path in /proc should be handled by a sub-class
of fhandler_virtual. This way path.cc (chdir/path_conv::check) can call
fhandler_virtual::exists on the path to check whether it actually exists or
not. Arguably FH_BAD could be returned here instead. It's an arbitary
decision so I accept anyone else's opinion.

I don't see how this can be right. Won't this induce infinite recursion?
No - opendir is overloaded in fhandler_virtual. The idea is that virtual
fhandler (i.e. classes that derive from fhandler_virtual) methods
consistently get passed a unix path instead of a reference to a path_conv
instance.

Re: Emacs for Cygwin (was: cygwin-mount.el, Using GDB in NTEMACS)
From: Jon Cast [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, 26 Feb 2002 21:33:11 -0600 CygEmacs will have UNIX APIs for I/O (files and sockets), and M$Windows APIs for the display and the keyboard. This is already done (partly) by the Cygwin port of rxvt. I used to agree with you, but the more I think about it, the more I think the ideal solution (bearing in mind that we are talking about a *Cygwin* port of Emacs) is use the normal LessTif toolkit support, and make LessTif work ``right'' from our perspective under Windows. (This would also allow us to support remote X connections, which is IMNSHO one of the major features X has over Windows.) Only if/while this is not workable/not worth the effort should we use the native APIs directly. I don't use Lesstiff too much, so please take what's below with a grain of salt. I think we should be aware of Windows users expectations, not only of technical merits. In a somehwat limited experience with a Windows port of Gimp (which I believe uses ported toolkits for its GUI), I find that even experienced and computer-savvy users feel annoyed by a very different set of conventions presented by the X toolkits. I don't have enough experience and data to judge whether that's a real concern or just an NIH syndrom, but I thought I'd mention it anyway. It's certainly non-trivial, but it's not difficult, either. All it takes is a grep for WINDOWSNT, and then a check of each of those ~ 206 occurrences to see if each one should read WINDOWSNT or (WINDOWSNT || CYGWIN). Unfortunately, it's more than that. First, there are those w32*.c files which hide an enormous complexity of the Windows port from the mainline code (that's why you see only 200-odd ifdefs). Some of that code can be safely tossed in the Cygwin port--the part merely tries to wrap library functions with Posix-compliant wrappers--but some cannot. So you might find yourself _adding_ ifdefs ;-) And then there's the issue of the Lisp code. What would be the value of system-type in the Cygwin port? It could use the same symbol windows-nt used by the current Windows port, or it could invent a new symbol. Either way, there will be a need to go through all the bundled packages and make sure code which does a different thing for windows-nt will DTRT in the Cygwin port. The difficulty here is that in some cases the Cygwin port should take the Unix/GNU branch (like with file names and the shell), while in others (like browse-url, for example) it should take the Windows branch. This probably calls for a new symbol rather than reusing windows-nt, but the work has to be done anyway. I counted more than 120 places where windows-nt is mentioned in bundled Lisp code. may be a version of Emacs for Cygwin, that use only the UNIX APIs can be ported. This Emacs version will be used only within Cygwin's windows - Console or rxvt (Emacs in TTY mode) or real display (using Cygwin-Xfree). This second approach surrenders practically nothing for the kind of user Cygwin targets once Cygwin-Xfree supports a rootless X server. So, I think if that approach is workable it should be pursued instead. How is this different from the alternative to use Lesstiff? That one is also based on the ported XFree, right? -- 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/

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: cygrunsrv-0.95-1
I have updated cygrunsrv to version 0.95-1. It adds a --desc option to allow adding a description text and small changes to the /usr/doc/Cygwin/cygrunsrv.README file. 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. Note that we do not allow downloads 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.

[c++ stl] std::string bug?
Hi,
It seems that one constructor of the std::string class or the data() method
doesn't work properly.
string::data() and string::c_str() are supposed to be equivalent but don't
always behave the same.
have a look at the following code and its test.
?

It also allows for classes to be derived in languages other from those in which the base class is written. GCC doesn't really have the same concept.

Strange behaviour of vpath with dos paths
Hi folks, I am seeing strange behaviour when using dos paths in a gnu make vpath directive. The makefile I am using to test this funny is as follows: --- vpath %.out c:/make_test/out #vpath %.out /cygdrive/c/make_test/out #VPATH = c:/make_test/out #VPATH = /cygdrive/c/make_test/out test.out : \ test.input\ ; echo test.input out/test.out --- What I find is that vpath doesn't work when given a dos path. VPATH on the other hand does. For out application we need to use a dos path. The work around is for us to use VPATH but it seems a bit funny that vpath and VPATH behave differently under given dos paths. Has anyone any ideas about this ? Cheers Colm A P.S. I am using gnu make 3.79.1-4 and 1.3.5-2 of the cygwin dll. -- - Colm Aengus Murphy,Tel : +353 1 2911000 Senior Hardware Design Engineer, Direct Tel: +353 1 2911373 Silicon Software Systems,Fax : +353 1 2911001 South County Business Park, Leopardstown, E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dublin 18.

Enviroment always uppercased; Help me, please
Seems to be a cygwin feature that the environment will be uppercased, when
called by a none cygwin program.
When puting a variable gar=1 into the environment and call a program
compiled with gcc and cygwin, the result, when printing the environment,
will be
GAR=1
ups, gar != GAR, especially in a POSIX environment!
When compiling the program with MS Developer Studio C++ the printed result
will be
gar=1
and that's okay.
Is there a trick to switch to a POSIX mode in cygwin and leave the case of
the environment unchanged?
parameter.c:
#include stdlib.h
#include stdio.h
int main ( int argc, char **argv, char **envp)
{
int i;
char **wp;
printf(Environment:\n);
if (envp != NULL)
for (wp = envp; *wp != NULL; wp++)
printf(%s\n, *wp);
printf(Parameters %d\n, argc);
for (i=0;iargc;i++)
{

argv[i]);

Help changing dir with spaces...
Hi, I'm very familiar with Linux and new to Cywin, but one of my first priorities is to mobe around the Bash shell. The only really pressing matter is how to move to the folders under WXP: C:\Documents and settings I can move to C:\Work or C:\tmp but anything with spaces it balks at. Since I can't change XP's default, is there a way to get Bash to accept the space? Thanks.

Re: Child died with signal 13
Hi, Eugene Rosenzweig wrote: Hmm, it worked for me. I assume out of the documentation that tar will spawn gzip -d filename and pipe it into itself. So, if 13 is the system error from tar, which is EACCES, permission denied so maybe there is a problem accessing the file?

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: gdbm-1.8.0-4
The gdbm package has been updated to version 1.8.0-4. It is based on the official GNU Database Manager distribution from the FSF, gdbm-1.8.0.tar.gz. gdbm is a prerequisite for the cvs package. This new release has been available as a test release for over a week; given no complaints, I am promoting it from 'test' to 'current'. CHANGES: (vs. 1.8.0-3) 1. Internal changes to facilitate easier building/maintainance 2. gdbm is now built using the 'auto-import' features of recent binutils. 3. A few fixes so that gdbm database files may be hosted on text-mode mounts. (AJ Reins) 4. Fix gdbm.texinfo so that install-info gdbm.info doesn't issue warnings. (AJ Reins) Note that merely updating cyggdbm to this new version will NOT magically enable CVS to host repositories on text mounts; nor will it magically fix CVS's existing problems with CR/LF. This gdbm update may fix the gdbm database files within the CVSROOT repository, but CVS itself is still not text/binary clean. Workin' on it...

Bug in me, cygwin, Samba, Linux or Window 2000
It looks to me as though cygwin does not completely close files it opens in shared folders. The bug could also be in Samba, Linux or me, but my evidence convinces me the problem is, at least, in cygwin. There are lots of workarounds, so I am reporting this as a good citizen and not because I need help. Here is a recipe: On a Linux computer there is an excitable file, /tmp/,bug.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: ghostscript-6.51-4
--ol0V2Ee2cj Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Description: message body text Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit The Ghostscript package has been updated to include support for the libpng and zlib shared libraries, as suggested by Chuck Wilson. In addition, the package also now has a new setup.hint file included. This release of Ghostscript is an X-less version, i.e. doesn't require the cygwin-xfree libraries to run. This version does not support direct preview. In order to preview Postscript output, it's necessary to rasterize the output to a graphics format (for example, PDF or JPEG) and viewed with a suitable viewer. For build instructions, please read: /usr/doc/Cygwin/ghostscript-6.51.README The instructions have also been included at the end of this message. I want to thank Chuck Wilson for uploading the package. --ol0V2Ee2cj Content-Type: text/plain Content-Description: GS build instructions Content-Disposition: inline; filename=ghostscript-6.51.README Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Release Notes -- GNU Ghostscript for Cygwin Version 6.51, Release 4 (6.51-4) (26 February, 2002) This Cygwin version of GNU Ghostscript has been built without support for X. This release now supports the libpng and zlib shared libraries (i.e. these libraries are no longer statically linked in.) REQUIREMENTS: Due to very specific requirements Ghostscript has relating to Postscript's JPEG support, the JPEG shared library cannot be used, and must be statically linked instead. The source for the JPEG library is included in the source package, ready to build with Ghostscript. BUILDING: At a minimum, you must have all the tools needed to build Cygwin programs, i.e. make, gcc, and binutils. In addition, the zlib and libpng shared libraries must be included in your Cygwin installation. Finally, you also need to fetch the source archive, ghostscript-6.51-4-src.tar.gz, from a Cygwin mirror site. Once you have everything required for building, follow these steps: 1. Unpack ghostscript-6.51-4-src.tar.gz (the source is pre-patched to build on Cygwin): $ tar xzf ghostscript-6.51-4-src.tar.gz 2. Build from the top-level source directory: $ cd ghostscript-6.51 ; make -f src/unix-gcc.mak 3. Install the entire package: $ make -f src/unix-gcc.mak install 4. Grab the following font compressed tar files: ftp://mirror.cs.wisc.edu/pub/mirrors/ghost/gnu/fonts: gnu-gs-fonts-std-6.0.tar.gz (required) gnu-gs-fonts-other-6.0.tar.gz (optional, recommended) Unpack them into /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts (font directory contained within tar file): $ tar xzCf /usr/share/ghostscript gnu-gs-fonts-*-6.0.tar.gz 5. Once you install it, you can test it: $ gs -sDEVICE=jpeg -dBATCH -sOutputFile=tiger.jpg \ /usr/share/ghostscript/6.51/examples/tiger.ps The Cygwin patches are in CYGWIN-PATCHES, along with this file.

Re: Building gcc-2.8.1 cross compiler.
I'm attempting to build gcc-2.8.1 cross compiler using the following configuration.. [why such an old compiler?] This is the suggested version from Sony to program for the IO Processor of the Playstation 2. Maybe newer versions would be ok, but this is the one suggested. ./configure --target=mipsel-scei-elfl --prefix=/usr/local/ps2dev/iop --with- gnu-ld --with-gnu-as I have compiled and installed binutils-2.9.1 into /usr/local/ps2dev/iop before attempting to make gcc. I am currently getting the following error. You don't need --with-gnu-ld, --with-gnu-as. You do have your cross-binutils executables (such as mipsel-scei-elfl-as) in your path? I found the error was related to / being converted to \. I did some hacking of the source and fixed the problem. I've written a tutorial as part of my ps2 programming web site.

cron, crontab question
I've setup cron on nt40 using cygwin 1.3.9. Cron setup as a service no problem, using ntsec, made my passwd group files. I created the crontab while using the id that I wanted the process to inherit from. Cron is scheduled to run a perl script every 10 minutes (and it does). I checked the uid of the pid and it shows the correct uid. I get a permissions error on opening and writing to a file. This error does not occur when I run the script from a bash shell (also using ntsec). no mapped drives. What other things do I need to check. if i wanted to test using the ntschedular on the same perl script (perl that comes with the cygwin distribution), would i code it: c:\bin\bash -c perl c:\. ? another question. could I set that perl script to run as a service ? could I use cygrunsrv ? Thanks for any and all help. PS. when I look in the task manager why do I see cygrunsrv running in addition to cron ? am not running cygrunsrv in bash shell ? -- 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 -- this message belongs on cygwin, not cygwin-developers. Reply and Reply-To adjusted.) By searching for 'cygintl-1.dll' on the following page: http://www.cygwin.com/packages/ I discover that the DLL is found in the following package: libintl1/libintl1-0.10.40-1 (e.g. the 'libintl1' package) Stangely enough, the setup.ini entry for grep(*) specifies that it depends on the 'libintl1' package. I don't know why the package did not get installed on your machine automatically (did you use setup?), but the solution is to reinstall the 'libintl1' package. (*) however, textutils (which contains 'cat') does NOT say that it depends on libintl1 -- this is a bug. [Matthew Smith] Note that 'libintl1' != 'libintl'. For further strangeness, I know that I have answered this question before...let's search google: http://www.google.com/search?hl=enq=cygintl-1.dll+site%3Acygwin.combtnG=Google+Search Ah -- there are some relevant hits, #2 and #3... --Chuck Brian Keener wrote: I just updated my installed packages and also updated my winsup cvs and when I went to do a make I kept getting error from grep and cat about they could not find cygintl-1.dll Which package(s) am I missing or is this some other bug. All the normal packages show installed from setup but I was also working on the last file not installing bug we had in setup (now fixed) so I may be missing a package and don't realize it. Any help greatly appreciated - I did reinstall gettext and rolled back the grep package from 2.5g which is where I thought I was getting it. -- 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/

memory leak? (was: 1.3.9: fork: Permission denied (Windows 2000))
There's a memory leak, but I can't work out what is causing it. None of the processes in Task Manager own up to it, so does that mean it's the OS? I have been able to reproduce this leak using the scripts included below. mkfiles creates 1000 files. rmfiles removes those 1000 files. Executing mkfiles results in about 5MB being leaked, whilst rmfiles leaks about 30MB each time. Below are stats from the Performance tab of Task Manager whilst running these scripts. Handles don't seem to be leaked. It takes about 4 seconds to create the 1000 files, but about 70 seconds to remove those 1000 files. Does this seem normal? TimeHandles, Available Physical Memory, Total Commit Charge 2:003870, 149.4M, 95.9MBefore running mkfiles 2:053719, 143.1M, 97.5MBefore running rmfiles 2:103679, 115.4M, 125.4MBefore running mkfiles 2:153673, 110.4M, 130.0MBefore running rmfiles 2:203661, 80.7M, 159.6MBefore running mkfiles 2:253689, 76.5M, 163.6MBefore running rmfiles 2:303686, 49.4M, 191.1MBefore running mkfiles 2:353718, 44.9M, 194.1MBefore running rmfiles ./rmfiles: line 5: 30312 Segmentation fault (core dumped) rm -f files/file$a 2:373717, 16.3M, 222.6MAfter running rmfiles After this, I ran each of the commands again. rmfiles failed with an error message simiar to the following. This following error message was displayed when trying to open a new bash window after this failure: 0 [main] bash 28900 sync_with_child: child 37868(0x1A8) died before initialization with status code 0x80 6476 [main] bash 28900 sync_with_child: *** child state waiting for longjmp bash: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable This appears to be the same problems as I was getting whilst doing a recursive make. NOTE: I don't get this problem on my desktop, only on the notebook, but then I was only getting the recursive make problem on the notebook. If anyone out there is also having the recursive make or fork: Permission denied problems could you please try running these scripts and watching the stats in the Performance tab of Task Manager. It would be good to know if this is just me (maybe corrupt Windows 2000), or a more common problem.

Updated: gdbm-1.8.0-4
The gdbm package has been updated to version 1.8.0-4. It is based on the official GNU Database Manager distribution from the FSF, gdbm-1.8.0.tar.gz. gdbm is a prerequisite for the cvs package. This new release has been available as a test release for over a week; given no complaints, I am promoting it from 'test' to 'current'. CHANGES: (vs. 1.8.0-3) 1. Internal changes to facilitate easier building/maintainance 2. gdbm is now built using the 'auto-import' features of recent binutils. 3. A few fixes so that gdbm database files may be hosted on text-mode mounts. (AJ Reins) 4. Fix gdbm.texinfo so that install-info gdbm.info doesn't issue warnings. (AJ Reins) Note that merely updating cyggdbm to this new version will NOT magically enable CVS to host repositories on text mounts; nor will it magically fix CVS's existing problems with CR/LF. This gdbm update may fix the gdbm database files within the CVSROOT repository, but CVS itself is still not text/binary clean. Workin' on it...

Send email to the address specified there. It will be in the format: [EMAIL PROTECTED] NOTES: o Now uses the auto-import functionality of newer binutils, and doesn't use __declspec(dllimport). This means you no longer need -DGDBM_STATIC or -DALL_STATIC when compiling objects intended for static linking. Just compile as normal. HOWEVER, you need to use a special flags when linking statically: 'gcc -static'. For dynamic linking, you need no special link-time flags (assuming you're using binutils newer than 20011002, when --enable-auto-import was made the default). -- PRO: no compile time flags needed when building client programs; ONLY need a link-time flag linking to static libraries. NO special flags at compile-time nor link-time when linking to dynamic links. -- CON: (partial): if using binutils older than 20010930, you now need a special linktime flag for dynamic linking (-Wl,--enable-auto-import). However, with an up-to-date binutils, you don't need this. o The package includes several test and conversion utilities which are useful for evaluating gdbm, and converting older ndbm and dbm databases to the gdbm format. These utilities are dynamically linked, although the build process will make both dynamically and statically linked versions. o The package also includes compatibility headers, so that gdbm can be used as a drop-in replacement for ndbm and dbm. o Building the package from source requires gcc-2.95.3-5 and binutils-20011002-1 or later o If you are building a package that depends on libgdbm, and you wish to link *statically*, just use 'gcc -static' when linking your package. There no need to -Ddefine anything special when compiling your object files. o No special -Ddefine options or link options are needed when building a package that depends on libgdbm and you want to link dynamically (recommended). o The following packages have been converted from old style -DFOO_STATIC to the new autoimport style of DLL structure: ncurses readline gettext zlib tiff libpngxpm-nox jpegjbig gdbm The following have not (yet) been converted, and still need -DFOO_STATIC for static builds: bzip2
