Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Server Test 70
Hi Harold, I would like to report success with windows xp. Multiwindow mode works! However there is still one problem: from startxwin.bat I invoke rxvt and this starts fine. If from this rxvt I start xterm or another rxvt then first time it starts it kind of vibrate non stop and I have to kill it by clicking on the x on the top right corner. If I now start again rxvt it starts fine and so are all other windows like xclock, xcircuit, etc. I don't understand why the first time I invoke another window it enters into a trans and later instances are fine.

RE: Patch for multiple monitors
Nick,
I am merging your patch right now.
However, I have a few questions.
In winshaddd.c/winAllocateFBShadowDD () (etc.) you load the height and width
(dwHeight, dwWidth) of either the screen or the virtual screen, depending
upon whether we are using multiple monitors or not. You then use the
equality or non-equality of the height and width of the screen or virtual
screen versus the size specified on the command-line to determine whether or
not to switch the display mode of only the primary display.
That doesn't make much sense. We really can't be switching modes of any of
the multiple monitors when the size of the virtual screen does not match the
requested size. I mean, how would we know which monitor to change the
resolution of, and by how much, without some extensive logic that is simply
not present?
I suggest that we leave out the changes in winAllocateFBShadowDD and its
cousins.
Am I simply misunderstanding things, or does this make sense to you too?
Harold

Subject: Patch for multiple monitors
Hi,
I attach a patch for multiple monitors, diffed against
xwin-20021107-0015. I have added a command-line flag -multiplemonitors
which activates the extra code.
This works on my machine in both windowed and rootless modes for engines
1, 2 and 4. It does not work in fullscreen mode because the defaults for
the fullscreen dimensions are calculated before the command line
parameters are parsed (as far as I could figure out).
It should be possible to make this behaviour the default (SM_CXSCREEN ==
SM_CXVIRTUALSCREEN etc. if there is only one monitor), which would
remove many of the if {} else {} blocks, and also might make fullscreen
mode work
My machine is running Windows 2000. Both my graphics cards are set at
1600x1200 32bit colour. It's great - I'm running KDE in rootless mode,
and I get the kicker across the bottom of both monitors, and I can drag
X windows from one monitor to the other ...
Comments?
Nick

BUSINESS PROPOSAL
Good Day, With warm heart I offer my friendship, and my greetings, and I hope this letter meets you in good time. It will be surprising to you to receive this proposal from me since you do not know me personally. However, I am sincerely seeking your confidence in this transaction, which I propose with my free mind and as a person of integrity. My name is Owen Mubane, the first son of Mapele Mubane, of the most popular black farmer from Zimbabwe, murdered in the land dispute in my country. As led by my instict, I decided to contact you through email, after searching for contacts via the internet, as it is the only means I can contact anybody since I am cutting off ties with Zimbabwe for security and safety reasons. However, I apologize if this is not acceptable to you. The purpose of this letter is to seek your most needed assistance in a business venture. Due to the land and political problems in Zimbabwe, as a result of President Robert Mugabe's introduction of new Land Act Reform wholly affecting the rich white farmers and the few rich black farmers, and his desire to hold on to power for life, my father for saw the danger that came in Zimbabwe. Before he was murdered, he withdrew all of our business foreign accounts in dollars and sold up our shares in major companies. We then went to SOUTH AFRICA to deposit the sum of US$14.5 million (Fourteen million, Five Hundred thousand US dollars), in a private security company. This money was deposited with this Private Security company for safety and security reasons, and was to be used for the purchase of land, new machines and chemicals establishment of new farms in Europe. President Mugabe's support for the violent Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society, led to the murder of my beloved father and other innocent lives. I was continually threatened to abandon my inheritance from my father after he was murdered. I resited for a while, but when the danger became unbearable, and I survived two murder attempts, I fled Zimbabwe. I am currently staying in the Netherlands where I am seeking political asylum. In fact my decision to come here to seek asylum, is because the security company from South Africa, has a branch here, and they have moved the deposit from their office in Johannesburg down here. I need to transfer this money to an account and invest part of the money. Since the law of Netherlands prohibits a refugee (asylum seeker) to open any bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction, this is why I am seeking a genuine and reliable partner, whose account this money can be transferred, hence this proposal to you.You have to understand that this decision taken by me entrusts my future and in your hands, as a result of the safe keeping of this money. If you accept to assist me, all I want you to do for me, is to assist with arrangements to claim the deposit from the security company from their office here in The Netherlands, as it has now been transfered from Johannesburg, South Afri! ca to their branch here. The company will be legally informed of you representing me. For your assistance, I have two options for you. Firstly you can choose to have 10% of the money for your assistance, and helping me open an account for the money to be deposited here, or you can go into partnership with me for the proper profitable investment of the money in your country. Whichever the option you want, please to notify me in your reply. I have also set aside 1%($145,000,00) of this money for all kinds of expenses that come our way in the process of this transaction, and 4% ($580,000,00) for Charity donation. If you prefer to accept the 10% for assisting with opening an account, then 85%will be left in the account here for me. Please, I want you maintain the absolute secrecy for the purpose of this transaction. I look forward to your reply and co-operation, and I thank you in advance as I anticipate your co-operation.You can reach me on my direct line which is 31 612 722 388 or via email [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sincerely, Owen Mubane.

Blue screen of death on cygwin+win98+./configure
Hi All, Im trying to install TeXmacs on my win98+cygwin laptop. First I installed the binaries for guile from the cygwin setup (I have XFree and Tex and all associated libs already) downloaded TeXmacs sources, ran ./configure and then gave a make. I got the blue screen of death (BSD). After iterating through several BSDs, I hunted on the web and found a site that said that static linkages were a problem with the latest guile and that I must install guile 1.4.1. So I uninstalled guile, downloaded the sources for guile 1.4.1, untarred them and ran ./configure --disable-shared It runs through several checks, but never completes - insted it gives me at some point it simply gives me the blue screen of death. This time around Im not even getting past configure. Im not sure what to do now. Any advice at all would be greatly appreciated.

Much thanks Bhiksha [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bhiksha, This is a forum for all problems with Cygwin, so your question fits in nicely. To answer it, Cygwin never *causes* a BSOD.

Cygwin Exim
I've been trying to get exim to run as a service under Windows 2000, using cygrunsrv.

This hasn't produced any affect. I've tried using the -oX 25 option. When I add that option, I get IPv4 socket creation failed: Operation not permitted. I am wondering if either of you have ideas about how to get this to work. It runs fine when started from the command line, but just won't start as a service.

PATCH: libwin32 0.191 builds and tests on Visual Studio, Cygwin, MinGW and Borland5.5.1
Located here: http://www.io.com/~rkitover/libwin32-0.191-port.diff This patch against libwin32 0.191 was created for one purpose, which it fulfills: Allowing a Perl CPAN shell user on Win32, regardless of their build environment, to type perl -MCPAN -e shell, install Win32 and have it compiled, tested, installed and working. It is no longer the case that the modules fail to build under Cygwin, and only half build on MinGW. Also, all warnings have been cleaned up. I've used Clive Nicolson's June Cygwin port patch as a reference for the Cygwin related stuff. Also, Win32API::File has the new functions: setFilePointer, getFileSize, GetFileSize and GetOverlappedResult. The functions setFilePointer and getFileSize are simpler wrappers for their respective APIs to support 64bitness (either through 64 bit ints like in the Cygwin 5.8 build, or through Math::BigInt if 64 bit ints are not available, like in the ActiveState builds and the Cygwin 5.6 build.) Also added to Win32API::File is a tied file handle interface that allows using the module as a normal Perl file handle or IO::File object, this is experimental for now. Buffering and overlapped IO has not been implemented yet. See APIFile/t/tie.t for an example. Initially it was created to emulate an OSF handle since Cygwin lacks the _open_osfhandle function. Build environments tested: Latest Cygwin with the new perl 5.8 package Latest Cygwin with the standard perl 5.6 package (I made the patch with cygwin 5.8 and AS508 then fixed it to support special cases in 5.6) ActiveState Perl build 508 with Visual Studio ActiveState Perl build 506 with Visual Studio Recent BleedPerl built with visual studio Recent BleedPerl built with latest MinGW and Gurusamy's dmake ActiveState Perl source 508 built with Borland BCC55 and dmake ActiveState Perl 5.005 build 522 (does NOT build Win32.xs, EventLog, FileSecurity, Job, NetAdmin, OLE, PerfLib and Process). The test suites have been slightly cleaned up to allow make test to run through successfully. Notes: There are some test-foo.pl and such files that get erroneously picked up and installed into ../blib/lib. There is still work to do to make the test suites more comprehensive and use the standard output format (they can always check for TEST_VERBOSE for debugging). It will not build on Perl 5.005 due to some XS incompatibility issues, I'd be happy to fix that, but does anyone really care? APIFile/test.pl should be moved under APIFile/t/file.t, and APIRegistry/test.pl to t/registry.t or something similar. I didn't want to make the patch any bigger. The OLE tests seem to leave orphaned Excel processes lying around, not sure which environments this applies to. DllMain in ODBC.xs is disabled in the cygwin and mingw builds because of export issues, it seems work fine without it. It would be incredibly cool if this patch could be applied to the libwin32 currently on CPAN, as that was its purpose. If there is anything I can do to make this a reality, please let me know. -- Rafael Kitover (Caelum on EfNet #perl) -- 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/

Re: Cygwin Exim
What exim are you using? Is it the precompiled version from the cygwin distribution or a self-built version? If you download the distribution version (with setup, look in the Mail category) and run exim-config you will be offered the option to start a service. The -oX 25 works fine here (WinME). At any rate you don't need it, 25 is the default I am not sure what you mean about single tab and why you want to change /etc/services.

Losing data with routine cp and mv -- cannot create hard link
I use Cygwin 1.3.17, NTFS file systems, and Win2000 (see excerpt from cygcheck -s below). Both with cp and mv, I am getting error messages when copying or moving rather large directories (1.4 GB, 89,000 files). For example, the command: $ cp -Rip p:/rchive q:/ starts off fine, but half-way through the job, error messages such as the following start to appear: cp: will not create hard link `q:/rchive/foo/bar' to directory `q:/rchive/fli/bers.gif' ..where the both filename A is always a directory name and filename B (called a directory in the error message) is usually a file, not a directory. While showing these messages, cp and mv continue to execute normally -- with error messages appearing intermittently -- except the directories named by filenames A are not copied, i.e. the data is lost. (Good thing I was paying attention and not running these in batch mode!) I could not find anything relevant in the mailing list archive or FAQ. Can anyone advise? Is this an inherent limit of these commands? Should I perhaps be using xargs?

BUSINESS PROPOSAL
Good Day, With warm heart I offer my friendship, and my greetings, and I hope this letter meets you in good time. It will be surprising to you to receive this proposal from me since you do not know me personally. However, I am sincerely seeking your confidence in this transaction, which I propose with my free mind and as a person of integrity. My name is Owen Mubane, the first son of Mapele Mubane, of the most popular black farmer from Zimbabwe, murdered in the land dispute in my country. As led by my instict, I decided to contact you through email, after searching for contacts via the internet, as it is the only means I can contact anybody since I am cutting off ties with Zimbabwe for security and safety reasons. However, I apologize if this is not acceptable to you. The purpose of this letter is to seek your most needed assistance in a business venture. Due to the land and political problems in Zimbabwe, as a result of President Robert Mugabe's introduction of new Land Act Reform wholly affecting the rich white farmers and the few rich black farmers, and his desire to hold on to power for life, my father for saw the danger that came in Zimbabwe. Before he was murdered, he withdrew all of our business foreign accounts in dollars and sold up our shares in major companies. We then went to SOUTH AFRICA to deposit the sum of US$14.5 million (Fourteen million, Five Hundred thousand US dollars), in a private security company. This money was deposited with this Private Security company for safety and security reasons, and was to be used for the purchase of land, new machines and chemicals establishment of new farms in Europe. President Mugabe's support for the violent Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society, led to the murder of my beloved father and other innocent lives. I was continually threatened to abandon my inheritance from my father after he was murdered. I resited for a while, but when the danger became unbearable, and I survived two murder attempts, I fled Zimbabwe. I am currently staying in the Netherlands where I am seeking political asylum. In fact my decision to come here to seek asylum, is because the security company from South Africa, has a branch here, and they have moved the deposit from their office in Johannesburg down here. I need to transfer this money to an account and invest part of the money. Since the law of Netherlands prohibits a refugee (asylum seeker) to open any bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction, this is why I am seeking a genuine and reliable partner, whose account this money can be transferred, hence this proposal to you.You have to understand that this decision taken by me entrusts my future and in your hands, as a result of the safe keeping of this money. If you accept to assist me, all I want you to do for me, is to assist with arrangements to claim the deposit from the security company from their office here in The Netherlands, as it has now been transfered from Johannesburg, South Afri! ca to their branch here. The company will be legally informed of you representing me. For your assistance, I have two options for you. Firstly you can choose to have 10% of the money for your assistance, and helping me open an account for the money to be deposited here, or you can go into partnership with me for the proper profitable investment of the money in your country. Whichever the option you want, please to notify me in your reply. I have also set aside 1%($145,000,00) of this money for all kinds of expenses that come our way in the process of this transaction, and 4% ($580,000,00) for Charity donation. If you prefer to accept the 10% for assisting with opening an account, then 85%will be left in the account here for me. Please, I want you maintain the absolute secrecy for the purpose of this transaction. I look forward to your reply and co-operation, and I thank you in advance as I anticipate your co-operation.You can reach me on my direct line which is 31 612 722 388 or via email [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sincerely, Owen Mubane. -- 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/

- Original Message - From: Randall R Schulz [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 10, 2003 4:30 PM Subject: Re: FW: Sed Script works in 3.02-1, fails in 4.0.1-1 Dwight, I can reproduce your problem using sed 4.0.1, assuming sed actually gets some input (if there's no input on standard input, the diagnostic does not occur). Changing the pattern separators does not cure the problem. Replicating the address range pattern (.BLOCKQUOTE) in the empty substitute target pattern does not help. I'm not a total SED junkie, so maybe there's something I'm overlooking here, but it does appear to me to be a bug.

Attached is the correct one--that is, the one that creates the fuss--, with the (obviously) missing RE. Sorry to waste your time on that--I had been doing a lot of testing and forgot I fiddled with the script. Thanks, Dwight Neal I can reproduce the problem too, but I'm not sure that this is a bug. When you use an address range such as 1,/.BLOCKQUOTE/ there will only be a previously compiled RE when the /.BLOCKQUOTE/ part of the address is matched, hence the error message from GNU sed 4. Oddly enough GNU sed v3.02.80 seems quite happy with this form of address pattern. I think that the bug, if anywhere, is in earlier versions of sed. If what you are trying to do is replace /BLOCKQUOTE with the string (which will have wrapped in the posting) font face=verdana size=2When installation completes, click a href=..\\..\\Update.asphere \/ato return.\/font\/BLOCKQUOTE then you don't really need the 1, part of the address. If you only want to change the first occurrence then you would need to reorganize the script (or use another tool which makes it easier to do so, such as awk). HTH Peter S Tillier __ Do You Yahoo!?

Setting up cvs on Windows 2000
Environment: Windows 2000, sp3 I downloaded and installed cygwin. I followed the steps outlined in http://www.adamswann.com/library/2001/Cygwin-Inetd.html From the cygwin prompt, I can create repositories, check in, check out files, etc. I can telnet remotely to that system and connect with my system login and password (not to cvs - just the system). That all seems to work just fine. The problem is in trying to set up my system to behave as a cvs server with pserver. If I do a telnet localhost 2401, I get connected to [computername] Escape character is '^]'. Connection closed by foreign host I'm not getting a prompt to login, authorization failures or anything along those lines. It just doesn't work - which leads me to believe that I'm missing an important configuration step. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have scoured the archives and google and just don't see what I'm missing. Please help.

Re: Return codes and pipelines
Rolf, One posting is enough, really. There is no guaranteed or specified parent child relationship between the processes in a pipeline. This means that you cannot predict which process's status will be the one returned as that of the pipeline as a whole. You can force this in your contrived example by adding an exit call. All of these will print true: (true | true; exit 0) echo true || echo false (false | true; exit 0) echo true || echo false (true | false; exit 0) echo true || echo false (false | false; exit 0) echo true || echo false Randall Schulz At 14:09 2003-01-12, Rolf Campbell wrote: /home/rcampbell (true | true) echo true || echo false true /home/rcampbell (true | false) echo true || echo false false /home/rcampbell (false | true) echo true || echo false true /home/rcampbell (false | false) echo true || echo false false The third test above yields different results when run on Linux.

Re: BSOD on cygwin
Hi, First I must apologize for my multiple posts earlier. I wasnt sure if the first one had gone through, since I never got a copy myself. So I figured Id messed up and posted again. Anyway, the problem (as I mentioned earlier) is that on my windows 98 machine, with the latest cygwin, I get a blue screen of death when I try to run configure --disable-shared on guile-1.4.1. (Im using 1.4.1 because Im tyring to compile TeXmacs). Ive since dug around a bit, crashed my machine a hunded times, and collected logs. I found that the configure script dies on line 4791, at a line that goes if sort conftest.nm|uniq conftest.ntM;then I get an empty conftest.nmT and the machine dies. I tried running the same command from command line. The first time I ran it, my cygwin window froze (although my machine didnt die), but thereafter Ive been able to run it from command line. However, running the configure script kills the machine at the uniq again. Im attaching the configure script, the config.log, and the conftest.nm files (the conftest.nmT file I get is empty). I hope this is not bad practice, but I figure they would help find the problem. The tail of the config.log file should indicate where exactly my machine dies (every time!). Also, as per Igor Pechtchanski's suggestion, I ran a cygcheck -s -v -r and am attaching the output. Curiously, cygcheck -s -v -r gave me output the first time I ran it. Afterwards, running the command simply gives me no output at all - it simply runs silently and comes back. Im not sure why this is so - I was pretty sure it was supposed to repeat the information everytime I ran it. I hope this doesnt indicate a bug with my setup.

Re: BSOD on cygwin
Perhaps someone else running Win98 will be able to confirm or deny the problems you're seeing. I'm guessing that others will only be able to 'deny'. As mentioned, BSOD is an O/S issue/bug, which means it's at least difficult to resolve in application software and is certainly much better resolved in the O/S itself (or quite possibly software drivers). Certainly in the case that the problem is caused by drivers (and AV software uses these too), the problem software is not necessarily installed on a 'typical' Win 98 machine, which is why I said I expect others won't be able to confirm your results. I'd highly recommend following Igor's suggestions. The fact that you can't get cygcheck to run correctly for you again makes me highly suspicious that something on your system other than Cygwin is actually causing your problem. In my opinion, you're more likely to find the source of your problem by looking outside of Cygwin.

Re: Setting up cvs on Windows 2000
Elfyn, I neglected to mention that it has also been reported that some, through heroic effort, have managed to get pserver working. Details of their arduousness were not reported, however. Searching for CVS, pserver, external and / or SSH will help you zero in on the pertinent messages to the Cygwin mailing list. It's possible that ongoing improvements in Cygwin have made pserver work (with less effort). Since I know nothing of the problems that impaired pserver function, I can only offer this as a guess.

BUSINESS PROPOSAL
Good Day, With warm heart I offer my friendship, and my greetings, and I hope this letter meets you in good time. It will be surprising to you to receive this proposal from me since you do not know me personally. However, I am sincerely seeking your confidence in this transaction, which I propose with my free mind and as a person of integrity. My name is Owen Mubane, the first son of Mapele Mubane, of the most popular black farmer from Zimbabwe, murdered in the land dispute in my country. As led by my instict, I decided to contact you through email, after searching for contacts via the internet, as it is the only means I can contact anybody since I am cutting off ties with Zimbabwe for security and safety reasons. However, I apologize if this is not acceptable to you. The purpose of this letter is to seek your most needed assistance in a business venture. Due to the land and political problems in Zimbabwe, as a result of President Robert Mugabe's introduction of new Land Act Reform wholly affecting the rich white farmers and the few rich black farmers, and his desire to hold on to power for life, my father for saw the danger that came in Zimbabwe. Before he was murdered, he withdrew all of our business foreign accounts in dollars and sold up our shares in major companies. We then went to SOUTH AFRICA to deposit the sum of US$14.5 million (Fourteen million, Five Hundred thousand US dollars), in a private security company. This money was deposited with this Private Security company for safety and security reasons, and was to be used for the purchase of land, new machines and chemicals establishment of new farms in Europe. President Mugabe's support for the violent Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society, led to the murder of my beloved father and other innocent lives. I was continually threatened to abandon my inheritance from my father after he was murdered. I resited for a while, but when the danger became unbearable, and I survived two murder attempts, I fled Zimbabwe. I am currently staying in the Netherlands where I am seeking political asylum. In fact my decision to come here to seek asylum, is because the security company from South Africa, has a branch here, and they have moved the deposit from their office in Johannesburg down here.

If you mean programmatically, I'd say that's probably true. Some may have created scripts that make this assumption but I don't see that as a major issue. That being the case, one could choose, in the present, to do a simple hack (in the minimal case) to change the smb-share prefix from //host/share to /smb/host/share. Theoretically, this should break nothing. unless they have hard-coded paths. Right, 'theoretically'. If transitioning of current CYGWIN customers who may have hardcoded paths is a concern, then a transition plan could be put into effect (dates TBD): 1) string in envvar CYGWIN, maybe, 'SMB_PRFX=//'. This could be added to any update if not defined, or set as 'SMB_PRFX=/smb/' in new installs or set to SMB_PRFX= by users who want to do their own mounting. 2) When automounting SMB shares is available, then can default SMB PRFX= in new installs. Warning in console login shells of SMB_PRFX being deprecated in favor of automount usage. 3) Base install includes smb-automount setup. Usage of SMB_PRFX generates warning about being ignored/obsolete and to use automount for smb references (with default /smb). 4) ...after a few years...remove check for SMB_PRFX... Right. This could be a way to phase out the UNC path convention if this was desirable. Steps can be skipped/merged; it may be decided that it is a non-issue and just do it. For Win32 paths -- again, going with full Win32 compatibility seems logical since it is the only standard that assigns meanings to :\ usage in the Win32 world. Again, if *really* needed, one could use a similar transition plan to allow conversion of apps that make assumptions about C:foobar not having the standard Win32 meaning (as previously shown, this is not a property of CMD, and is 'honored' (wherever it is implemented) in, AFAIK, all of MS's programs. Any issues only affecting Win32 path usage would be unlikely to affect POSIX-compliant programs using preferred-character-set filenames. Logical? Not asking, necessarily, that anyone implement it -- I'm only engaging in a concept discussion. Actual implementation -- well that may never happen, or may -- may be done by someone expert in the various areas affected, or done by me (in all my loads of spare time...*cough-cough*). Logical, yes, in terms of reaching your stated goal. Whether that goal is desirable as a whole measured by the community's usage preferences, patterns, and needs, that wouldn't be for me to say. ;-) Of course, the real hitch is the resource to implement, which you acknowledge. As you know, lot's of things can sound reasonable, logical, and even compelling in theory and yet still be abysmal failures once implemented. But having something implemented gives the entire community a concrete item to review, reform, critique, and accept/reject. It's generally a very successful route to getting new functionality in Cygwin. I recommend it if you're motivated to implement some functionality. I'm trying to focus on what I believe would be useful for the Cygwin toolset to allow for gnu-linux tool porting for the purpose of using them interactively/transparently in a win32 environment _and_ providing a *nix-POSIX compatibility layer. I understand. I'm not sure that I concur with your assessment the current needs for this work but I'm quite willing to evaluate it based on the merits of it's implementation. Not to 'scare' you of course but changing behavior of the Cygwin path handling code is not a task to be undertaken lightly. This area has allot of logic to parse the various path forms already handled plus POSIXy emulations. Any changes there must be rigorously tested for correctness and performance (i.e. no worse performance than now). But if that doesn't scare you ( :-) ) then I'd recommend you take the next step and start poking around in the code. It really is the best way to understand the details of what's there and formulate a real plan of attack.

Syslog-ng-1.5.24 build instructions for cygwin
Hi all:
Thanks go to whoever fixed the bug in cygwin1.dll that caused syslog
to fail as soon as a udp packet was sent to it. The bug was introduced
sometime around 1.3.12, but is fixed now. So here is my recipe for
building syslog-ng-1.5.24.
Download syslog-ng-1.5.24 and libol-0.3.6. Patch the syslog source
with the patch at the end of this message. The patch adds a -N flag to
stop the syslog server from forking so that windows services mechanism
and cygrunsrv will properly detect that the program/service is
running. The man page is updated with this flag, but the html/sgml
isn't patched. The patch also stops resolv.h from being included
under __CYGWIN__, and defined the typdef uint32_t as unsigned.
After applying the patch, touch src/main.c.x src/filter.c.x, then
configure and make the two packages. Then run cygrunsrv as:
cygrunsrv -I syslog -a '-N' -p /path/to/syslog -c /var/log
and
cygrunsrv -S syslog
I use the syslog server with backlog to send the event log on my
windows 2000 SP3 system to a file. I did most of my testing without
tcp wrappers enabled, but I did finally get it to compile with the
wrappers. To do this, change the lines that read:
old_LDFLAGS=$LDFLAGS
LDFLAGS=-lwrap
to read
old_LIBS=$LIBS
LIBS=-lwrap
and you will get
checking for hosts_access in -lwrap... yes
rather than
checking for hosts_access in -lwrap... no
Hopefully the syslog-ng people will include this patch in newer
versions.

Unicode files
Can cygwin programs like grep process a unicode file? I have a Windows 2000 backup log file which seems to be a unicode file. When I cat the file under cygwin it displays with spaces between every second character: e.g. ÿ_B a c k u p S t a t u s O p e r a t i o n : B a c k u p A c t i v e b a c k u p d e s t i n a t i o n : 4 m m D D S M e d i a n a m e :T S C 4 - 2 0 0 3 - 0 1 - 1 3 - 2 - 3 5 p When I cat in under linux it displays as a normal text file. I have a script which grep's for particular patterns and emails matching lines, but it won't work with these log files. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Re: Solving the relink exe's libtool problem [take 2]
Alexandre Duret-Lutz wrote: Any way lt-foo.c could go into .libs/? Or just be erased after foo.exe has been built? Maybe both? I see no problems with either or both...but I'd rather keep lt-foo.c around until 'make clean' (or libtool --mode=clean) time. Also I if you don't move `foo' to `.libs/' I think you should ensure that `libtool --mode=clean rm -f foo.exe' erases `foo'. Good point. libtool --mode=clean won't currently get both of them. But automake's 'make clean' will (see below). (Or does Cygwin's `rm' erase both at once?) No, it doesn't. Right now Automake doesn't use `--mode=clean'. Maybe Automake 1.8 could start doing this so we don't have to hardcode this sort of knowledge. Yeah, I think this has come up before... However, current automake make clean will at least attempt to delete all four of the following, whether they exist or not: foo foo.exe .libs/foo (*) .libs/foo.exe (*) (*) by virtue of rm -rf'ing .libs So, there's really no worry about cleaning up the shell wrapper or the real executable -- or the binary wrapper -- with present automake. But cleaning up the lt-foo.c file is an issue. I'd prefer to move it into .libs, but NOT erase it; automake's make clean will get it if it's in .libs (see rm -rf, above) 'Course, transitioning to libtool --mode=clean will mess that up, unless the problems you mention are addressed... --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/

I'm wondering if this was the desired result or not? There is (or had been last I looked at the source) a defined relationship in the Bourne and Korn shells at least. The parent forks the last command in a pipeline which then becomes the parent of the other commands in the pipeline. Thus the original parent only sees the last command's exit status. This scheme was done to implement the following behavior back around System V.2 in the great Bourne shell rewrite in C. From the current Solaris man page for Bourne Shell: ... . Each command is run as a separate process; the shell waits for the last command to terminate. The exit status of a pipeline is the exit status of the last command in the pipeline. The addition of the pipefail option to recent ksh93 versions suggests this relation-ship scheme has been altered in those shells. But I do not think it appropriate to generically say there is no defined relationship as if it applies to every shell out there. -- Jon H.

BUSINESS PROPOSAL
Good Day, With warm heart I offer my friendship, and my greetings, and I hope this letter meets you in good time. It will be surprising to you to receive this proposal from me since you do not know me personally. However, I am sincerely seeking your confidence in this transaction, which I propose with my free mind and as a person of integrity. My name is Owen Mubane, the first son of Mapele Mubane, of the most popular black farmer from Zimbabwe, murdered in the land dispute in my country. As led by my instict, I decided to contact you through email, after searching for contacts via the internet, as it is the only means I can contact anybody since I am cutting off ties with Zimbabwe for security and safety reasons. However, I apologize if this is not acceptable to you. The purpose of this letter is to seek your most needed assistance in a business venture. Due to the land and political problems in Zimbabwe, as a result of President Robert Mugabe's introduction of new Land Act Reform wholly affecting the rich white farmers and the few rich black farmers, and his desire to hold on to power for life, my father for saw the danger that came in Zimbabwe. Before he was murdered, he withdrew all of our business foreign accounts in dollars and sold up our shares in major companies. We then went to SOUTH AFRICA to deposit the sum of US$14.5 million (Fourteen million, Five Hundred thousand US dollars), in a private security company. This money was deposited with this Private Security company for safety and security reasons, and was to be used for the purchase of land, new machines and chemicals establishment of new farms in Europe. President Mugabe's support for the violent Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society, led to the murder of my beloved father and other innocent lives. I was continually threatened to abandon my inheritance from my father after he was murdered. I resited for a while, but when the danger became unbearable, and I survived two murder attempts, I fled Zimbabwe. I am currently staying in the Netherlands where I am seeking political asylum. In fact my decision to come here to seek asylum, is because the security company from South Africa, has a branch here, and they have moved the deposit from their office in Johannesburg down here. I need to transfer this money to an account and invest part of the money.

Re: Unicode files
Clancy, Perl has some Unicode modules and Vim (both Cygwin and stand-alone) will edit Unicode files. Most (maybe all?) Gnu text tools are ASCII only. Apropos turns up the Perl modules plus something called luit. Check it out. Perhaps it might be useful to you.

Re: Return codes and pipelines
Jon, Well, Cygwin does not include Bourne shell, it has BASH, ash and zsh, but it does appear that the status returned by a parenthesized pipeline under BASH is that of the last command in that pipeline. Strictly speaking, that's not at odds with the first part of what I said, which is that the parent - child process relationship between processes in a pipeline is not specified. So this leaves one puzzle: Why is it that Rolf is getting different results for this command between Linux and Cygwin? (false | true) echo true || echo false Rolf, which shells are you using on Linux and Cygwin?

Re: 1.18 mysql+perl+dbi+dbd::mysql
Hallo Nikolayev,
Am Montag, 13. Januar 2003 um 05:29 schriebst du:
Sorry, but I'm newbie, how can I do this?
You need to create an importlibrary from libmysqlclient for cygwin and
link against it to build the Cygwin Perl based module.
I create a .def file with impgen which comes with libtool and then
create the .a importlib with dlltool:
1.
/bin/impgen ${DLLNAME}.dll ${DLLNAME}.def
2.
dlltool --as=as --dllname ${DLLNAME}.dll --def ${DLLNAME}.def --output-lib ${DLLNAME}.a
You can fetch a binary of impgen here:

Re: Solving the relink exe's libtool problem [take 3]
Okay, this version
1) puts lt-foo.c into .libs
2) libtool --mode=clean does the right thing --- cleans up foo,
foo.exe, .libs/foo.exe, .libs/lt-foo.c, plus whatever else it already
took care of.
3) lt-foo.c actually passes its own arguments to the shell wrapper -- it
didn't, before. (Oops)
libtool regression tests: no new failures (on cygwin)
briefly tested on another project; worked fine.
