RE: NFS server (final?)
Only if you changed the uid of the Administrator account to 0 by hand. I have *not* done anything on my system to add a root user or any user with uid 0; and yet, seteuid(0) apparently succeeds. If you actually switch the user context, the application must not rely on having uid 0 == root or having uid 0 at all. What's the recommended way of dealing with this? The code in the server does something along the lines of: seteuid(ROOT_UID) setegid(gid) setgroups(len, gids) seteuid(uid) (Error checking obviously ignored.) From what I can tell in the Cygwin docs, the seteuid(ROOT_UID) call shouldn't be neccesary: Since Cygwin release 1.3.3, applications having the Create a process level token user right can switch user context without giving a password by just calling the usual setuid, seteuid, setgid and setegid functions. This is typically only given to the SYSTEM user. So, is the answer to remove the seteuid(ROOT_UID) call, and document the requirement that the server be run under an account with the Create a process level token right? -Samrobb
Re: FW: file manager xfm, or similar for xfree86 under cygwin
Hi, Cary, Hello, I am trying to locate a graphical file manager for Xfree86 running under cygwin I have tried to compile xfm 1.4.3 and got it working under xfree86 under cygwin, but it does not allow access to non cygwin directories. It complains saying Directory is Unreadable. /cygdrive doesn't show up in the root, so I created a symlink with: ln -s /cygdrive/c /cygdrivec I'm guessing it has trouble following a symlink from /cydrivec to /cygdrive/c/ Can anyone suggest a working file manager? You may try gnome-commander, if you like the style of NC and MC (like me, but I can't bare gmc :-). You can find gnome-commander-0.9.8 for Cygwin GNOME at http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/cygnome But this will pull in a lot of GNOME libraries. At least you need the cygnome-libs-1.4b1-3, gnome-vfs-1.0.5-patch package. Read more info on intallation at http://cygnome.sourceforge.net/install.html. Thanks. If anyone wants the Imake.options I can post or email. Does anyone know where I can find a compiled binary for xfm or a similar client. I don't want to have to install the kde files or xfce. My plan is to use cygwin / xfree86 via ssh to do remote support of windows machines. Thanks for any help. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Using Multiple X Windows
Hello, I have a question which I could not find the answer to in searching the archives... I am trying to make window management in cygwin/xfree the same way I have it set up in exceed. I start up tcsh in exceed with my xterm command which opens up an x window with the tcsh prompt. From this prompt, every time I type emacs , it will bring up a new xwindow with the emacs program. I cannot figure out how to do this in cygwin/xfree. From my tcsh prompt, I type xwin to start the xfree window. Now, every time I type emacs , it opens up an emacs in the same xfree window. I am wondering how I can get it to open up a separate xfree window each time I type emacs as I can in exceed? I tried messing around with the xwin -screen option, but I could not come up with anything... Thanks
multiple xpm instances
In compiling an X11 application I found multiple instances of xpm. One
version comes from XFree86-prog-4.2.0-1 (dated 1/21/2002 and in
/usr/X11R6/{lib,include}) and the other from xpm-4.0.0-2 (dated 12/8/2000
and in /usr/{lib,include)). cygcheck -c shows the xpm installation. (I
also have the xpm-nox version installed which is OK.)
Is the XFree86-prog the correct version to use? Should I remove the older
one? How do I remove it properly?
thanks...

I suppose it is the package xpm-nox you see in /usr, basically a

conversions (is it gs?) and don't want the X-servers..
How to remove it.. uninstall it through setup :-) Hmm weird that it

RE: Using Multiple X Windows
Though I do not use emacs, I have used exceed. What I think is happening is that you are not correctly setting your DISPLAY variable. From what I am told, if you have no DISPLAY set, emacs starts as a standard app in the terminal it is in. If it is set, emacs starts as an X app. Exceed sets this variable when it starts up the first window. From what I can tell, xfree does not.

Re: Using Multiple X Windows
Remove all other command line parameters for XWin.exe, and add the single command line parameter -multiwindow. This is not documented because this feature is not considered completely stable.

Thanks for the report.

Andrew Grimm wrote:
Actually it is a very minor sort of problem, but a bug nonetheless.
The csh startup script /etc/profile.d/00xfree.csh is usually sourced
before the shell has a complete path. This is the case for the stock
Cygwin tcsh install. However, the path adding script does not use full
pathnames for system executables. The sh version /etc/profile.d/00xfree.sh
does use full pathnames (I guess most testing defaulted to bash).
Taking a min-mods approach /etc/profile.d/00xfree.csh should be altered to
look this way:
--
# the script name starts with 00 to ensure that it is executed before any
# other scripts because one of them may need to know where X is to run
# properly.
set X11PATH=/usr/X11R6/bin
if ( $?PATH ) then
eval /bin/echo ${PATH} | /bin/grep -q ${X11PATH}
if ( $status ) then
setenv PATH ${PATH}:${X11PATH}
endif
else
setenv PATH :${X11PATH}
endif
--
This incorporates two changes. The first is to use full pathnames just as
/etc/profile.d/00xfree.sh does. (Note that this is not really needed for
echo as the shell builtin works fine but it's good practice to have both
shell scripts function as identically as possible.) The second is to use
$status as $? only exists in tcsh, and in theory this script should be
csh-compatible.
Without this change, the script fails to operate correctly under tcsh.
Many people use tcsh instead of bash so it is probably a worthwhile fix.

FW: Test77 multiwindow mouse weirdness

Re: FW: Test77 multiwindow mouse weirdness
Piers, Yes, that is strange. I think the problem is that, as you said, the multiwindow mode is assuming that the screen is based at 0, 0. That isn't a problem for the non-multiwindow mode, but there was obviously some sort of oversight in the multiwindow mode that caused this problem to show up. I may look into it eventually, but if you have any inclination to peek at the source yourself (it is accessible via cvsweb and well commented) then I would appreciate it if you could try to locate the problem for me.

Re: Using Multiple X Windows
No, the root window is still shown because multiwindow mode is not yet complete. It may take quite an amount of work to hide the root window, or it may be trivial. I have not really looked into it.

Of course, if you simply wanted to *ensure* that the path was in unix
format... you're stuck.
Yes. I tracked the change to the following cvs commit:
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-cvs/2002-q4/msg00080.html, particularly the
(doit): Do various things to make path output work predictably. part.
Is there another utility that can be used to identify the format of a
classpath? This will be needed to account for the changed behaviour
in modifying scripts.
Umm, 'grep'? In particular, grep for a ; or a \ for a
windows-format path...
Which is presumably vaguely what cygpath used to do.
Doug: have you considered making a patch to cygpath to make it behave more
to your liking (conditional on a command line option if need be), and
submitting that?
Max.
Umm, since I've opened my mouth on the issue, I'll submit the patch...

ChangeLog:
2003-02-11 Igor Pechtchanski [EMAIL PROTECTED]
* cygpath.cc (doit): Add code to simply ensure the path is
in the right format.
(ensure_flag): New static variable.
(options,long_options): Add 'e' flag.

Maybe it's just me, but when something like a change to cygpath happens in software that I support, I just adapt the software that I support, usually making it more robust in the process.

RE: [avail for test] libtool-devel-20030121-1
But, you'd still need to check all static libs to see if they are really import libs after all. The good news it that we expect this to happen only rarely: when an import lib is a hybrid lib with static objs in front -- the modified 'file' test incorrectly identifies it as a static archive. This depends on how the hybrid lib is created. If it starts with the static object files, it would be identified as static, if it starts with the import library as import library. BTW: Do you know which libraries are also hybrid execpt of cygwin1.dll ? Question: for normal import libs (that is, excluding the hybrids like libcygwin.a), does your version work always? Or does _dll_iname 'float around' even within otherwise normal import libs? 'file' supports indirect offset generation. See $ man magic Indirect offsets are of the form: ((x[.[bslBSL]][+-][y]). The value of x is used as an offset in the file. A byte, short or long is read at that offset depending on the [bslBSL] type specifier. The capitalized types interpret the number as a big endian value, whereas the small letter versions interpet the num- ber as a little endian value. To that number the value of y is added and the result is used as an offset in the file. The default type if one is not specified is long. Sometimes you do not know the exact offset as this depends on the length of preceding fields. You can specify an offset relative to the end of the last uplevel field (of course this may only be done for sub- level tests, i.e. test beginning with ). Such a relative offset is specified using as a prefix to the offset. That mean, we onbly have to figure out the relative pointer to the 'dll_iname' string. When I have time, I will look into the coff file format or is someone else here, who can give a pointer to this ?

Re: bin dir not created during cygwin setup in Win2kPro
This thread is kind of old, but has anyone else experienced this problem? I have. Running Windows 98, I chose Download from Internet and saved files to c:\Windows\Desktop\cygwin-download. After completing that (and after a couple failures because of my modem), I did some other work, installed some Windows Updates (don't know if that could possibly matter), and then came back to install Cygwin. I chose to install to c:\cygwin, and chose the download directory as before. I selected all my packages and proceeded. While the setup prog listed all the files it was installing, I did notice that it listed various /bin/* and /usr/bin/* files. But when I went to start Cygwin, it bombed -- the c:\cygwin\bin and \usr\bin directories are not there! Everything else is, including c:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\*, but of course I can't run any of those programs because the cygwin DLL's are also missing. I've tried this a couple times, with variations on the directories, packages to install, etc.. Same result. I can't say if Download[ing] From Internet isntead of installing directly at first could have caused the problem because I'm not about to do it all again on my 56k. So, does anyone know what to do?

some probelms about in porting from Linux to windows
Hi all: I'm porting some programs from linux to windows using cygwin. Cygwin is really a great software, which reduce a great deal of my work. I have occured some problems. In my program, I use some config files, whose path like /etc/**.d/**.conf. Of course I can use windows path pattern like c:\\cygwin\etc\**.d\**.conf. But I wonder if there has some methods which can set root path (/) of my program, so I can still use the linux path pattern like /etc/**.d/**.conf only with cygwin1.dll in release evrionment, which is to say, in a compute whose OS is windows without installing cygwin, just copied to cygwin1.dll. Who can give me some advice? Can it do work if I set the registry table : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/ Thanks in advance. -- 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/

This is expected behavior. This has been discussed many times before. It should be
in the archives.
For some reason the above only works in tcsh; the
other shells all seem to open up emacs in the same
window.
You probably have an emacs function defined in a shell startup file (e.g.
~/.bashrc). Examples have been posted here several times.
Does anyone know what causes the cygwin emacs to open
up in XFree instead of the current window?
That's how it's compiled.
It has stopped doing this on my computer at work (I
think it was a result of my reinstalling cygwin emacs
or maybe something else that got changed in the
process of running the cygwin setup), and I'm
wondering what has to be changed so it does it again.
Include tty in your CYGWIN environment variable.
Type emacs -nw instead of emacs

Problem with socket in gcc programming

setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, on, sizeof(on));
memset(sin, 0, sizeof(struct sockaddr));
rsinlen = sizeof(struct sockaddr);
sin.sin_family = AF_INET;
sin.sin_port = htons(80);
sin.sin_addr.s_addr = INADDR_ANY;
bind(sockfd, (struct sockaddr *)sin, sizeof(struct sockaddr));
listen(sockfd, 256);
while (1) {
accefd = accept(sockfd, (struct sockaddr *)rsin, rsinlen);
if (accefd = 0) {

RE: Cannot get ^Z to suspend a program
Job control and signals for Cygwin processes are areas pretty internal to Cygwin. they are also pretty complex. IMO, it's hard to talk much about adding some feature to them without the context of what's already there. If you can put your suggestions in that context, I expect you'll get better feedback. Even if that's not the case, you'll be in a better position to evaluate your own ideas given the current architecture. Just my $.02. Larry Original Message: - From: linda w \(cyg\) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, 11 Feb 2003 21:18:05 -0800 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Cannot get ^Z to suspend a program Sure, but those programs hook the key(s) in a global fashion, not just from individual programs. So, Cygwin could hook the Ctrl+Z key, but what would it do then, how would it know which process to suspend? I'm not sure that cygwin could 'suspend' a non-cygwin process even if it wanted to. --- started playing around with this...I note: cygjob kill -STOP %1 #works as expected but winprog kill -STOP %1 #laughs at my puny attempts to stop it So cygjobs seem to be suspendable but winjobs are already not playing fair! now I try this: while :; do sleep 3; echo 1;done # control-z ignored Also, though, I note that if I type while the program is running, say ls, then press control-c, ls still executes! Under lnx, I see the 'ls' characters echoed as soon as I type them -- it appears readline is running in foreground even though I have a job (the while loop) running in foreground as well. It's like even when a foreground job is running, there is a 2nd, system level process that also runs and processes key presses (allowing processing control-u and control-r, among other, readline functions). It _seems_ like to get similar functionality on cygwin, one might have to have the same -- perhaps a unix-like fork/exec/wait would translate, internally, to a windows fork/exec/select, where select waits for keyboard input or the child process to end. Then the win-parent process -- still in control, could process line editing and user-job control key presses -- since we know that, at least, cygwin programs are well behaved in regards to respecting a kill -STOP, the win-parent keyboard monitor thread could use the same means to STOP a child. As for job control of winjobs? Guess that'd be another whole pain in the butt. Though maybe if the running user has 'debug' privs, they could attach the process and suspend it that way? (Dunno) If their could be some way of suspending winjobs, though, then the above 'keyboard thread' method could be used to implement job control. Wha'd'ya think? -linda -- 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/ mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ . -- 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/

Malloc failing too soon under XP/2000
I'm running Windows XP with 1/2GB RAM and 2GB swap. Running Cygwin 1.3.18.
Consider the following program to use as much memory as possible:
#include stdio.h
#include malloc.h
int
main()
{
void *x;
unsigned long long mem=0;
while((x=malloc(50)) != NULL){
mem += 50;
memset(x, 0, 50);
printf(allocated %u\n, mem);
}
return 0;
}
If I compile and run this, it consistently stops at about 780MB. If I
compile with -mno-cygwin, it doesn't fail until almost 2GB have been
allocated.
Any comment? Is there some sort of flag I can compile with to make the
allocator more aggressive? The situation it's failing in is one where a
very large library is being linked and ld is running out of memory in spite
of quite a bit being available.
cheers,

However, while this program compiles (using g77) perfectly in Cygwin, it will not run, it merely returns the prompt. I have found that if I comment out any lines declaring or using 3-D arrays then the program will run. Unfortunately, I need to include these 3-D arrays for the program to give the correct answers. Does anybody have any ideas what the problem might be and how to fix it? Running the program with gdb might help. Sounds to me like you're blowing out the stack with these arrays.

It will help if you provide more infomation about your system environment
and the version of Cygwin that you are running. To learn how to do this
take a look at http://www.cygwin.com/bugs.html, the section named 'Bug

Well, for one, 1.3.20 is out. You might try that -- there have been some
changes to the memory management code, see if they fixed your problem.
For another, there is no need to copy Doug Lea on this. This is most
probably a Cygwin-specific issue, and belongs on the Cygwin list.

Re: Can't set mark in emacs
Eric, I am running emacs from bash. When you say the Win32 console, do you mean the windows console that bash is running in? I installed rxvt and skimmed the info for it. I didn't see any thing about running it in a non-X environment. Is there a command line switch for this, or do I need a different package? I'll work on setting up X later tonight.

cron problems - no longer functions after changing system date
hello, I've noticed a problem with the cron service and as of yet, haven't found any posts that echo my problem. It seems whenever the system date is changed on the computer on which cron is running as a service, the cron daemon stops functioning. The service itself doesn't appear to stop (Windows 2000 Server reports it as running), but all jobs scheduled to run via cron cease functioning after the date is changed. I've managed to work around this problem scheduling cron restart jobs via the Windows Task Scheduler, but it is still a nuisance. I've also used the cron testing script provided on your site to make sure that cron and all directories, etc. are setup properly - the script seems to think everything is fine. Given that my jobs run normally as expected when the date isn't changed, it leads me to believe it is a cron-related problem.

Cygwin gcc vs official gcc?
What is the state of/reason for Cygwin/Mingw specific mods to official gcc sources? I assume these mods will eventually make it in to the official tree, right? What is the typical migration path? I ask, because I am trying to do DWARF2 development work for Cygwin. I thought that I should start with current gcc (3.2.2) and binutils (2.13.2.1) sources (or CVS). But, I just ran into a double alignment ABI breakage with the official gcc sources. I have applied the proper patch locally to fix it, but I wonder why it has not been officially submitted yet? I also wonder how many other gotcha's there are? What should a Cygwin developer use as a base for binutils and gcc development work?

If it starts with the static object files, it would be identified as static, if it starts with the import library as import library. right. BTW: Do you know which libraries are also hybrid execpt of cygwin1.dll ? There are about a half-dozen in /usr/lib/w32api -- and worse, the static members are bad variable types; if you make the static members part of the DLL, then these vars can't be auto-imported without using pseudo-relocs. Of course, since the DLLs are provided by MS, we can't really modify what is in them. So these extra bits probably need to *stay* static, and appended to the end of the import lib...but, because they are (currently) appended to the end of the importlib portion, your code will get it right'. Question: for normal import libs (that is, excluding the hybrids like libcygwin.a), does your version work always? Or does _dll_iname 'float around' even within otherwise normal import libs? snip That mean, we onbly have to figure out the relative pointer to the 'dll_iname' string. When I have time, I will look into the coff file format or is someone else here, who can give a pointer to this ? Can't help you there.

RE: cygwin, g77 3-D arrays
Thanks for your replies, they helped me to figure out the problem. Basically it seems the declared dimensions of my 3-D arrays were too large for cygwin, making the parameters smaller allowed the program to run. So a new question for you, what is the largest that cygwin can handle? I don't know if it will make any difference to your replies but my code was along these lines: PARAMETER(MOBS=5000) PARAMETER(MC=10) PARAMETER(MB=1000) PARAMETER(MCV=100) INTEGER MOBS,MC,MB,MCV DOUBLE PRECISION fp(MB,MC,MOBS),fw(MB,MC,MCV+1),fa(MB,MC-1,MCV+1) With the numbers given above the program would not run in cygwin (it ran in Linux), making these much, much smaller (500,5,100,10 respectively) allowed it to run. Sometimes, however (depending on the data) I may need these numbers to be bigger again (particularly MOBS), so it would be good to know what is the largest cygwin can handle?
