RE: binutils status ?
3) Ralf's patch for objdump/cygwin crashes on auto-imported libs
Nick Clifton has applied a patch for a similar problem, I will look if this
solve this already.
I was wrong, it was Laurent Pinchart, who has applied this patch.
This patch does not help in this case. I will inspect this and supply
a updated
patch.
In peXXigen.c Line 1208 there is a case handling rebinded imports, which isn't
affected by Laurent's Patch.
/* If the time stamp is not zero, the import address
table holds actual addresses. */
if (time_stamp != 0
first_thunk != 0
first_thunk != hint_addr)
fprintf (file, \t%04lx,
(1) (long) bfd_get_32 (abfd, data + first_thunk - adj + j));
^^
this fails in case of rebinded apps or dll, that means first_thunk points into
the text segment
this printing should goes after laurent patch, when the different section is
loaded
fprintf (file, \n);
}
}
--- here starts Laurant's patch ---
if (hint_addr != first_thunk time_stamp == 0)
{
bfd_byte *ft_data;
asection *ft_section;

Laurant: Can you give a hint how the line marked with (1) should be changed ?

Re: New SGML/XML packages
Hi Peter, Thanks for reviewing these packages. sgml-base-1.01, xml-base-1.1: A bit messy. How are these resources related? If somebody wanted to add another bit, how would you release that? Looking at these packages again, I agree with you that sgml-base and xml-base had too many miscellaneous DTDs. I've cut down sgml-base so that it only contains the catalog tool, the ISO entities, and the HTML DTDs. All these are components are essential, and unlikely to change. I've cut down xml-base and split it into two - there are now separate xml-char-ent and xhtml packages. Since both of these are likely to change, I want them separate so they are easier to maintain. DSSSL and XSLT stylesheets: Different versions of stylesheets might need to co-exist, in my humble experience. Not easy with this directory layout. At the point you need to do that, you're going to have to download and install the packages yourself, rather than using setup.exe. If you do that, you can rename the directory and (for DSSSL) fix up the catalog file manually. docbook-sgml-4.1, docbook-xml-4.1.2: Why bundle various DocBook versions into one package? They do not depend on each other. How do you intend to release forthcoming DocBook 4.2? The problem is simple: How many packages do we release? I've proposed two - docbook-sgml and docbook-xml. If we do every version as a separate package, then we have ten different docbook packages. This seems a little excessive, and IMHO is also likely to confuse users. Please note that the effort to make a directory layout for XML and SGML part of the LSB [1] is now continued. There's a mailing list [2]. The latest proposal is, I believe, at [3] (and it was sorely lacking wrt. XML). I looked at the FHS when I was creating these packages. It hardly mentions XML at all, only SGML. There doesn't seem to be a consensus opinion on XML in the mailing list archives. For now, I've complied with the FHS as far as practical - e.g. the SGML master catalog is in the right place, SGML DTDs are in the correct location. I hope that it won't be too hard to migrate from my current packages to whatever the LSB (eventually) decides. By the way, the Debian distribution differs in a number of details [4]. Yep, when I was putting these packages together I started off with the Debian packages. The install-sgmlcatalog script is borrowed from Debian.

I just read the link that you sent to an email that you wrote... with very detailed answers to both of my questions. Don't sweat it. What Cygwin directory do you think libiconv should go in? The regular one -- cygwin/release/*. It's not x-specific.

RE: name: GNU/cygwin system
-Original Message- From: Michael Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, May 21, 2002 3:37 PM Anyway, though I think just about everybody who's got any familiarity with the free software world at all knows that Linux packages (RPMs and Debian packages) are available for all sorts of things, I'm not sure how many are aware that: * through Cygwin, many of the same tools available as packages for Linux distributions are also available as packages for Windows (and Cygwin provides an environment for compiling and installing many others that aren't packaged yet) * Cygwin provides a sophisticated package management system that makes it easy to install and update packages One of the things is that Cygwin's package list is still pretty small. On Debian for instance, one can grab 3 or even 4 different IMAP daemons. On Cygwin, you're lucky to get one. This is a maturity thing, but still a significant difference. Don't get me wrong - we do appreciate extra awareness of Cygwin - but there is a lot to do. One of the most significant things you can do is maintain a package. Just a single one. Then it's one more thing available for use on cygwin, and one more community that becomes aware of us. The libxml/libxslt community is aware of cygwin for instance - because as maintainer I am present on the upstream lists. I don't what can be done to raise more awareness about Cygwin -- especially about the availability of packages; but in part, I guess that more people should -- when, on mailing lists or websites, they're pointing out that certain applications are available as Linux packages -- take the time to check to see whether particular packages are available for Cygwin, and acknowledge when they are. IMO the biggest awareness raiser is someone present in both the cygwin and the upstream community who raises the presence of binary packages in peoples awareness. That's what I've tried to do for the DocBook/XML/SGML packages that Jon Foster and Markus Hoenicka put together -- by adding information about them to the DocBook Wiki: Cool. You might like to point out that in the near future those packages will be available without needing the custom URL. They will be mirrored globally. About the page at the second URL: I hope I'm not using the Cygwin logo inappropriately. If I am, somebody please let me know (I couldn't find any information at the Cygwin site about use of the logo). That seems fine to me. I'm not aware of any strict policy about the logo. Chris? Are there other promotional logos/buttons/banners I could/should use instead? Maybe a version of the Cygwin banner (http://cygwin.com/cygwin.jpg)? I think that the banner is a beter promotional tool.

The obvious plus is that symbolic links to executables and other files should be understood in non-Cygwin shells. Still, while this is an advantage for those packages that make using of symbolic links for things like this, it's unclear to me that making such a change would result in something intuitive, since the user would need to add .lnk to the executable name (gunzip.exe.lnk in this case) to get it to work in an non- Cygwin shell. But probably it's a plus overall since using the Windows shortcuts at least allows for the use of the symlink in non-Cygwin shells, despite the clunkiness of its usage.

Subject: ssh-agent
I'm trying to use ssh-agent in a useful manner on my laptop. So, my
desired state is to run the agent as a service. Here's the command
I'm using to *try* to install it.
cygrunsrv.exe --install ssh-agent -p /bin/ssh-agent -a -d
Sadly, the service fails to start. Any ideas?
If it matters, I updated my cygwin install at 0900 EST today and I'm
running it on top of XP.
You might want to look at the tool 'keychain'. In the setup.exe
Category window, it's in the 'Utils' group. Here's what it displays
when you enter: $ keychain --help
KeyChain 1.8; http://www.gentoo.org/projects/keychain
Copyright 2001 Gentoo Technologies, Inc.; Distributed under the GPL
Usage: /usr/bin/keychain [ options ] sshkey ...
Description:
Keychain is an OpenSSH key manager, typically run from ~/.bash_profile.
When
run, it will make sure ssh-agent is running; if not, it will start
ssh-agent.
It will redirect ssh-agent's output to ~/.ssh-agent-[hostname], so that
cron
jobs that need to use ssh-agent keys can simply source this file and
make the
necessary passwordless ssh connections. In addition, when keychain
runs, it
will check with ssh-agent and make sure that the ssh RSA/DSA keys that
you
specified on the keychain command line have actually been added to
ssh-agent.
If not, you are prompted for the appropriate passphrases so that they
can be
added by keychain.
Typically, one uses keychain by adding the following to the top of
their
~/.bash_profile (or ~/.zlogin, in case of zsh):
keychain ~/.ssh/id_rsa ~/.ssh/id_dsa
. ~/.ssh-agent-${HOSTNAME}
# alt. syntax: . ~/.ssh-agent-`uname -n`
# note the use of back-quotes (`) rather than single-quotes (') above.
# We now append the hostname (`uname -n`) to the .ssh-agent filename
# for NFS-compatibility.
You can make keychain work with your csh-compatible shell by adding the
following to your .cshrc:
keychain ~/.ssh/id_rsa ~/.ssh/id_dsa
source ~/.ssh-agent-csh-${HOSTNAME}
Keychain allows all your apps and cron jobs to use a single ssh-agent
process
as an authentication agent. By default, the ssh-agent started by
keychain is
long-running and will continue to run, even after you have logged out
from the

--clear option, described below.
Options:
--local
Prevents keychain from appending the hostname to any of the files.
This
makes life simpler in a non NFS world.
--clear
Tells keychain to delete all of ssh-agent's host keys. Typically, This
is
used in the ~/.bash_profile. The theory behind this is that keychain
should
assume that you are an intruder until proven otherwise. However, while
this
option increases security, it still allows your cron jobs to use your
ssh keys
when you're logged out.
--noask
This option tells keychain do everything it normally does (ensure
ssh-agent is
running, set up the ~/.ssh-agent-[hostname] file) except that it will
not
prompt you to add any of the keys you specified if they haven't yet
been added
to ssh-agent.
--nocolor
This option disables color highlighting for non vt-100-compatible
terms.
--stop | -k
This option tells keychain to stop all running ssh-agent processes, and
then
exit.
--quiet | -q
This option tells keychain to turn off verbose mode and only print
error
messages and interactive messages. This is useful for login scripts
etc.

Successful Build of rpm-4.0.3
The attached shell script contains the steps I used to build rpm-4.0.3 (with its included db) on an up-to-date cygwin.

RE: rxvt cursor corruption under WinXP/ClearType
So, while I know nothing about ClearType internals, I asked around and got some info. Hope this is helpful and finds its way to someone who can do something with it. If it leads to more questions (and I suspect it might) I can forward to appropriate folks. --- ClearType has up to a one pixel bleed on each side of the character. This is done to help dissipate the color. More than likely this app is doing something like erasing a character by drawing an opaque space, which leaves garbage on the screen. Note that this can happen with any fixed-pitch font that has overhang (a feature that is fine with TrueType but problematic with fixed-pitch fonts). The bounding box of the character can not be updated because that would break compatibility with earlier fonts. Arguably this is not correct, but breaking compatibility is incorrect as well. So there is no easy fix here - the only option I see is to modify the application. --- I'm not aware of any documentation on this topic nor am I aware of any fix to this in any of our text libraries. --- The answer to that specific questions (how do MS apps handle this?) is that we are drawing as much as possible, full word, full line of text together. Placing together the characters in a string buffer before merging with foreground and background color. If application implement their text and edit box display in a way that works fine with script fonts where characters have big overlapp then they will work fine with ClearType. --- I was thinking about this last night, and I agree that the only 'correct' way is to deal with this at the word level. That said, with fixed pitch fonts and a simple one color background, one might be able to make some simplifying assumptions, although this is somewhat risky. With a constant background color, one could redraw the character to be erased with foreground color set equal to background color in opaque mode. Another solution might be to use a specific font that is guaranteed to have a minimum of one pixel sidebearing on each side at all required sizes. --- The console code in Windows is very specific on what font it accepts. The font needs to be fixed width with no negative sidebearing. I'm almost sure that our console code, as we type characters is always redrawing the full line and not only the character that we type. Turning off ClearType through the logfont when you have to draw one character at a time in opaque mode would be a good decision. (a better decision would be drawing text in a way that is compatible with negative sidebearings.) --- stephan(); -Original Message- From: Philip Flip Kromer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, April 12, 2002 5:58 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: rxvt cursor corruption under WinXP/ClearType I have the same problem with rxvt.

My bug or your bug?
Hi,
I have just encountered a situation that I think
shouldn't happen.
Here's the transscript of the bash session. The is a
full installation of Cygwin on a Windows 2000 Pro
workstation.
The failure of the first run of ./foo is expected.
But the error for the second run of ./foo is not
expected. As a matter of fact, after the first run of
./foo, ALL commands (cygwin or otherwise, such as ls
and notepad, except bash built-ins) generate the same
error.
I checked that I have only one cygwin1.dll on my
system, and it's at the correct location
(C:\cygwin\bin).

RE: ssh-agent
Harig, Mark A. said: You might want to look at the tool 'keychain'. In the setup.exe Category window, it's in the 'Utils' group. Here's what it displays when you enter: $ keychain --help keychain is certainly a nice tool, but I'm not sure it's going to help. See, I've already got the (trivial) shell hack in place that doess all that keychain does. The problem lies with background processes and cygwin. Say that the first cygwin application I launch is rxvt. My .bashrc checks to see if ssh-agent is running and, if not, starts it. Next, I launch Xwin from that shell. Now the ssh-agent is useful to all the windows created with my window manager. So far, so good. The only problem is that I daren't exit the original rxvt. If I do, ssh-agent no longer functions correctly in that all future ssh connections hang. To get around that, I've had to start ssh-agent with the following command:run bash -c ssh-agent $HOME/.config/ssh-agent This now functions correctly, and the only remaining difficulty is when I restart/shutdown windows I get prompted to kill ssh-agent/bash.

Re: Crash during setup
Sebastian, Patience is one suggestion. I have a fast machine with fast disks and a fast, dual-channel SCSI I/O adaptor (and the install cache and the Cygwin working directories are on separate disks and those disks are on separate I/O channels) and still it takes a long time for Setup to determine what to offer to install. There simply are a lot of separate I/O operations to perform to prepare the installation list. There have been reports that indicate CPU saturation while the intentionally blank [sic] page is displayed. That's not the case for normal operation, of course. Use the Processes tab of the Windows Task Manager to check for this condition. If the CPU utilization is low, then Setup is probably still comparing your install cache to your active installation.

Updated: w32api-1.4-1
I've made a new version of the w32api headers and libraries available for download. A list of what has changed is attached. Earnie. -Installation Instructions- 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 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.
