[PATCH] libtool patch for direct-linking-to-dll
Hi all, appended is a libtool patch (based on the current official libtool release 2003-02-16 for enabling the direct-linking-to-dll functionality, which was applied a few weeks ago to the binutils cvs release and give a major linking time improvement especially for big applications and/or libraries. See http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2002-12/msg00396.html for further details. Please note that this patch currently works only with the current cvs ld release and should be used as a prelimary patch, because it does not check, if ld does support this functionality. It is enabled by default. A way for checking this should be discussed. I see two ways for dealing this with: 1. Adding an ld option like --disable-dll-linking or so, which existance could be checked in libtool, autoconf or configure (currently I don't where the best place is). This option isn't a must be and it is only used for detecting the functionality, because the necessary ld changes are backward compatible. 2. Using the ld's release time 2003 $ ld -v GNU ld version 2.xx.yy 2003... 3. Another great idea, I currently do not have Any hints or comments ? 2003-02-27 Ralf Habacker [EMAIL PROTECTED] * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_DYNAMIC_LINKER): Removed postinstall_cmds and postuninstall_cmds, added shared library to 'library_names_spec'.

There a still two problems though: 1) The files in the binary package should be installed in /usr/bin, /usr/man and /usr/doc. Now they are installed in /bin, /man, /doc. I think this was ok yesterday, but i can't verify since i removed the old package files. 2) The 'category' directive in setup.hint contains 'Dev'. This should be changed to 'Devel'.

200206. I wasn't thinking for a sec there.
Right.
I've built setup from 200206 with ntsec patch as backported by Pavel. I ran
into other problems:
1) I had to merge these fixes, which enable building of setup with gcc-2.
cvs upd -kk -j2.22 -j2.23 Makefile.am
cvs upd -kk -j2.84 -j2.85 Makefile.in
cvs upd -kk -j1.5 -j1.6 libgetopt++/Makefile.am
They are to do with erroneous inclusion of -lstdc++ (which is of course
gcc3's now)
2) gcc2 (not g++2) chokes on some lines in /usr/include/mingw/string.h. I
had to patch as below, adding prototypes before the functions declared
inline.
I propose to commit the backported ntsec patch and gcc-2 fixes when I
return, in about 2 hours.
I see Pavel has just sent in a passwd-grp.bat removal patch just now. I'll
apply that once it gets the OK from Robert.

Hi hjb, this was the sollution! Actually I had two problems: 1. When I installed cygwin, it didn't create a 'good' home directory. It cretared a directory '/usr/bin/%USERPROFILE%' because my Windows Home is on a different drive than my cygwin installation. 2. The correct path to HOME had to be set. I've done that and now it works. Cheers, Klaus Hi Klaus yes, you're probably right.

How has rxvt-2.7.9-4 been packaged?
Hello. I'm now successfully running XFree86 4.3.0 - however, because of this, I need to recompile some packages, as they simply die because library names have changed. One of these packages is rxvt. With WindowMaker, I had good luck downloading the src package with the setup program. I was then able to run /usr/src/WindowMaker-0.80.0-2.sh all to get a tar.bz2 file which I could install. However, downloading rxvt-2.7.9-4-src results in a /usr/src/rxvt directory. How would I build something installable from this? Just the usual ./configure make make install or did you apply any patches/configure options when packaging the rxvt-2.7.9-4.tar.bz2 for cygwin?

XWin hangs when accessing font server
Hi, I'm trying to use XWin 4.2.0-26 on Win 2k to log in to a few Linux/Solaris boxes using XDMCP. Everything works fine (i.e. I'm getting the login window and I can enter my user name and password) until I reach the point in my xsession where I'm adding a font server to the font path using this command: xset fp+ tcp/fonts:7100 As soon as the xset commands runs, XWin locks up and consumes 100% CPU time. The same happens if I don't use XDMCP and only start XWin and a single xterm in which I type the xset command. Needless to say that the font server works fine with other X-Servers (XFree86 3.x and 4.x on Linux and XSun on Solaris). In case it matters, it's a simple xfs 3.3.6 which serves a few PostScript fonts. Any idea on how to prevent the lock-up? Alternatively, if I could distinguish XWin from other X-Servers in my xsession, I could simply skip the xset command for XWin. But the output from xpdyinfo looks identical for XWin and XFree86/Linux. Thanks, Martin

Re: WMaker crashes when starting with startxwin.bat
Klaus, FYI, HOME is set in the default /etc/profile... When you start from the Cygwin bash window, bash will have executed /etc/profile, and you have the right $HOME. If you run from a batch file, /etc/profile would not have been executed, and $HOME not set. Try putting 'bash --login -c wmaker', for example, in your batch file...

Klaus Hi Klaus, This answer probably won't help because I'm probably speaking rubbish, but I have got the same problem as you, so I know what you're talking about. You can start wmaker from the cygwin window, but not from a batch file (or more specifically a windows command window). I think this probably has something to do with the user $HOME, because in Cygwin it knows your $HOME is /home/user, and under there you have the GNUstep folder with your WindowMaker settings. However your windows home is probably pointing somewhere else, so WindowMaker can't find the GNUstep folder in your home directory, causing it to crash? JS. Hi all, I just installed Cygwin using the Internet installation including XFree86 and wmaker. I can start X without any problem and I can start wmaker from the bash prompt. The only problem I have is with startxwin.bat. I changed the window manager in this file from twm to wmaker, but whenever I try, I get the following error: Window Maker received signal 11. I see that X is up and it even changed the background color according to the settings in startxwin.bat. In the archive for this mailing list I found the suggestion to change the HOME path settings, but either I did something wrong there, or the problem is something else. I can start wmaker using startxwin.sh and startx - no problem with this. Just startxwin.bat is the problem and just with wmaker. I'm really sorry if this is the wrong mailing list, or this is a real bug I should have reported somewhere else. I just think this is probably not a bug, because wmaker is running fine when started from the bash. Thanks very much for any help.

Re: How has rxvt-2.7.9-4 been packaged?
Actually, the rxct packager lurks on [EMAIL PROTECTED] don't know if he listens here or not. Harold Alexander Skwar wrote: Hello. I'm now successfully running XFree86 4.3.0 - however, because of this, I need to recompile some packages, as they simply die because library names have changed. One of these packages is rxvt. With WindowMaker, I had good luck downloading the src package with the setup program. I was then able to run /usr/src/WindowMaker-0.80.0-2.sh all to get a tar.bz2 file which I could install. However, downloading rxvt-2.7.9-4-src results in a /usr/src/rxvt directory. How would I build something installable from this? Just the usual ./configure make make install or did you apply any patches/configure options when packaging the rxvt-2.7.9-4.tar.bz2 for cygwin? Thanks a lot, Alexander Skwar
Re: Lesstif update II
Oh... I don't think that will work because I don't believe that the Cygwin installer guarantees installation order (or maybe it was the order that the post-install scripts were run in)... but I could be wrong.

Harold Brian Ford wrote: It seems to me that a simple and maybe correct solution would just be to have the lesstif package require the Xlib package.

Focus problem with -multiwindow
When I use the -multiwindow option in XWin, I get an intermitent focus problem. What happens is one of the windows will get the keyboard focus and won't let it go, no matter what. This makes all other windows useless. I don't know what triggers this behavior, but netscape seems to have something to do with it. Any suggestions?

More on my problem with installing XFree86 on Win2000
After some digging around and manual unzipping and untaring, I've narrowed down my installation problem to this: I can't make a directory named fonts in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11, which is where it would be put by the installer. The funny thing is that if I were to call it font, it works just fine. When I try to mkdir, I get the following error: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 $ ls XErrorDB app-defaults fsproxymngr x11perfcomp xkb XKeysymDB configlbxproxy rgb.txtxdm xman.help XftConfig doc localerstart xeditxserver app-defaults etc mwm twmxinitxsm [EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 $ mkdir fonts mkdir: cannot create directory `fonts': no medium If I create the folder in Windows Explorer, the creation works fine, and if I do ls, the folder name shows up. However, if I try to do ANYTHING to it in Cygwin, it gives me a No such file or directory error. Does anyone know what this stuff means? Is there some specific information about my system/setup that I could give that would help in figuring out this problem? Thanks in advance. Andrew Chizhik

X 4.2.0-26 Bug, problems related to popup menus in applications
There is a problem with menus in the -multiwindow mode, i have noticed in emacs. Try starting emacs -display :0 and then clicking many menus, you should eventually see blocks of windows that do not go away. There are drawing problems, the emacs window becomes corrupted, blocks of the emacs window are still displayed in emacs and other X app windows even if you minimise it. I think the -multiwindow mode is great though, thank you, thank you so much to those who have worked on this. This is greatly apprieciated, it is so good as well to have a complete X system on Windows, with all of the standard X clients. I like the dummy window feature a lot. It asbolutely should continue to be included. I do think maybe there should be an option to have it hidden, a great idea would be to put an icon for it on the icon tray (next to the taskbar clock), there it is out of the way from the users of the computers I administer from accidently clicking on it, and wondering what happened. The -rootless mode is also great, but the downside is the X applications are not accessible on the taskbar, it would be nice if there were an option to make them appear on the taskbar, if thats possible. Perhaps the -rootless mode should also have an optional dummy window, for accessing the window managers desktop right click menus, etc. Agian, thank you so much, for this wonderful and complete X implementation, it very much apprieciated. __ Do you Yahoo!?

Trouble getting shift keypad events
I'm not sure if this is a cygwin emacs problem or a cygwin XFree problem, but here goes. Using emacs under xfree started with: start XWin -screen 0 830 1124 -rootless -clipboard I am not getting shift-keypad events as expected. When I type C-h c keypad 3 I get the message kp-next runs the command ... in the minibuffer display area. When I type C-h c shift keypad 3 I get the message next runs the command ... in the minibuffer display area. Under nt emacs I run xev in an xterm and when I press keypad 3 I get: KeyPress event, serial 22, synthetic NO, window 0xe1, root 0x36, subw 0xe2, time 342208796, (44,51), root:(153,118), state 0x0, keycode 89 (keysym 0xff9b, KP_Next), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 characters: KeyRelease event, serial 22, synthetic NO, window 0xe1, root 0x36, subw 0xe2, time 342208968, (44,51), root:(153,118), state 0x0, keycode 89 (keysym 0xff9b, KP_Next), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 characters: when I press shift keypad three I get: KeyPress event, serial 22, synthetic NO, window 0xe1, root 0x36, subw 0xe2, time 342277421, (31,30), root:(140,97), state 0x0, keycode 50 (keysym 0xffe1, Shift_L), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 characters: KeyPress event, serial 22, synthetic NO, window 0xe1, root 0x36, subw 0xe2, time 342277609, (31,30), root:(140,97), state 0x1, keycode 89 (keysym 0xffb3, KP_3), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 1 characters: 3 KeyRelease event, serial 22, synthetic NO, window 0xe1, root 0x36, subw 0xe2, time 342277734, (31,30), root:(140,97), state 0x1, keycode 89 (keysym 0xffb3, KP_3), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 1 characters: 3 KeyRelease event, serial 22, synthetic NO, window 0xe1, root 0x36, subw 0xe2, time 342277937, (31,30), root:(140,97), state 0x1, keycode 50 (keysym 0xffe1, Shift_L), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 characters: I have no idea if the xev output is correct. Debugging this issue is made slightly more complex by an interesting feature of emacs. If a function is not bound to a keypad key, C-h c reports a different keypress than if a function is bound. If no function is bound to keypad Enter C-h c reports RET as the keypress. If a function is bound C-h c reports kp-enter. So to reproduce the problem I'm seeing you must bind some function to the keypad key: (global-set-key [kp-next] 'forward-word) (global-set-key [S-kp-next] 'forward-word) Any suggestions on how to get cygwin emacs to recognize shift-keypad-3 as S-kp-next as nt emacs does? Thanks, -- Robert

Re: bug report - DLL failure on win ME with gcc-3
Hi
I think I've found the problem with dlopen()/fork() on Win ME as
reported in
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-02/msg02221.html
If I'm right, it also applies to win 95/98.
in dll_init.cc: (dll_list::load_after_fork) a call is made to
LoadLibraryEx (d.name, NULL, DONT_RESOLVE_DLL_REFERENCES);
According to the MSDN library, at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dllproc/base/loadlibraryex.asp
the symbol DONT_RESOLVE_DLL_REFERENCES is not supported on win 9x/Me. It
does not say what the result of using this value on those platforms is.
I suspect that this breaks the LoadLibraryEx call, so that the
subsequent FreeLibrary call ends up deallocating memory that was never
allocated, hence the crash.
I have tried a patched version of dll_init.cc that uses plain
LoadLibrary instead of LoadLibraryEx on win 9x/Me, and with this patched
cygwin1.dll my test program runs correctly on all platforms. I have
attached the patch (cvs diff -up dll_init.cc). Could someone please
review this patch and apply it if it is acceptable?
By the way, the current CVS has a problem with unix sockets - they are
vey slow - like several minutes to get a simple message through in
some cases.
Regards,
Steven

I fled from my country with this fund, which my father suppose to use procure more arms for the Unita Rebels. This is because I felt that the battle waged by the Unita Forces was more of rebellion and it was baseless. I had this fund sealed in a diplomatic box and deposited in a private Security Company in Europe. I will need assistance from you to use your facilities to effect the removal of this fund and subsequently transferred to your nominated account in your country. This business has to be done in a more confidential manner. For participating in the business with me, I have two options for you. You can choose to have certain percentage of the funds or you can go into partnership with me for proper profitable investment of the money in your country. Whichever the option you want, feel free to notify me. The money is presently lodged with a security firm and I will give you further details immediately I hear from you. Please contact me immediately for the next line of action then I will introduce you to the security company where the funds are been deposited. I would like you to include your personal phone and fax numbers for more confidential Communication with the Security Company. Regards REUBEN J.SAVIMBI.

cygwin rsync bug with windows shares
I'm using the cygwin version of rsync (2.5.5) and think I've found a bug which is harmless under unix but fatal to cygwin. The bug is also in the latest source version I could find (2.5.6). If I'm trying to take a file from (windows-style) \\share\directory\filename I would specify something like rsync //share/directory/filename destination However, there is special handling in rsync to stop // at the beginning of a filename, presumably to cope with unix systems which can't understand the convention. Specifically, in syscall.c, about line 93, in the do_open() function, the first / is skipped over in this case. The result of this as I have seen it is that rsync will correctly identify all files in a directory that need to be copied, but complains that none of them exist (since do_open() is only relevant to the remote-syncing function, not directory listing). I can overcome it by saying something like rsync ///share/directory/filename destination but that seems a bit silly. My solution would be to include a cygwin-specific patch for this line, rather than asking the rsync project to patch their code, but cygwin developers may disagree.

Frédéric, FWIW, I was able to reproduce your problem on the bash shell in a command window (on Win2k). What's interesting, though, is that if the output were pasted to a regular Command prompt window, it pastes the accented characters sans the accents. When pasting into any Cygwin app run from that prompt, however, the accented characters disappear altogether. This may have something to do with the way fhandler_console processes input, but I don't know enough about that code to even start looking. One more interesting (though probably unrelated) thing is that the Win2k Command window (with QuickEdit off) allows one to press the right mouse button to get a context menu (basically the Edit submenu of the main window menu). However, when any Cygwin app is run (say, cat), the right button stops working (though it does work as paste in QuickEdit mode). As I said, this is probably unrelated, but might provide a clue, so I thought it was worth mentioning. Igor P.S.

Weird stuff with 'man' and 'tset' programs
Something weird is going on with my cygwin. I first noticed it when I ran 'vim' and it said that it did not recognize a terminal type of 'cygwin'. Ok, so I set the TERM environment to ansi. That seemed to work, but I noticed that the arrow keys to move around with did not work. So then I went and reset the terminal by using the command 'tset'. This came back and said that it did not recognized a terminal of cygwin, or ansi, or anything else. I checked my files and I have ncurses and terminfo installed, and the files for the various terminal definitions are in '/usr/lib/terminfo' right where they are supposed to be. Then I went to see what the man pages said about this. The man program worked, but it comes back and says No manual entry for tset, or for any programs. I made sure that I had a good MANPATH, and exported it. Did not help. I have a valid '/etc.man.config' file, and if I start man with the -d option, it echoes out the paths as listed in the '/etc.man.config' file. Even when I specify the man path directory by using 'man -M /usr/man man ', it still says it can not find the man page. My PATH works fine, but who knows what else does not really work. I could really use a little help with this problem. I am running Win 2k all of the cygwin programs are up to date. My shell is bash. Below is the out put from 'cygcheck -s'.

On Fri, 28 Feb 2003, Roy H. wrote: Something weird is going on with my cygwin. I first noticed it when I ran 'vim' and it said that it did not recognize a terminal type of 'cygwin'. Ok, so I set the TERM environment to ansi. That seemed to work, but I noticed that the arrow keys to move around with did not work. So then I went and reset the terminal by using the command 'tset'. This came back and said that it did not recognized a terminal of cygwin, or ansi, or anything else. I checked my files and I have ncurses and terminfo installed, and the files for the various terminal definitions are in '/usr/lib/terminfo' right where they are supposed to be. Then I went to see what the man pages said about this. The man program worked, but it comes back and says No manual entry for tset, or for any programs. I made sure that I had a good MANPATH, and exported it. Did not help. I have a valid '/etc.man.config' file, and if I start man with the -d option, it echoes out the paths as listed in the '/etc.man.config' file. Even when I specify the man path directory by using 'man -M /usr/man man ', it still says it can not find the man page. My PATH works fine, but who knows what else does not really work. I could really use a little help with this problem. I am running Win 2k all of the cygwin programs are up to date. My shell is bash. Below is the out put from 'cygcheck -s'. [snip] Roy, First off, please *attach* the output of cygcheck, as per http://cygwin.com/bugs.html, due to it introducing false positives into archives search when in the body of the message. Secondly, read the following thread: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-02/msg02095.html An archive search for terminfo found it, BTW.

Re: English speller to spell plain files

not sure if there is an official package but do a google for ispell

You may want to Google for aspell too.
I used to use ispell but now use aspell - much better - for instance it can be invoked
from
email progrms (for e.g. mutt or pine) as follows:
set ispell = /usr/local/bin/aspell check -x --mode=email (for mutt)
this actually prevents aspell from checking the spelling for quoted lines ('') in
replies.

Write a C program using the appropriate Win32 calls, of course. The registry isn't magic. Or, as Max suggested, use *regtool*. regedit != regtool. That was our first suggestion, but Fabrice wants to avoid all Cygwin components except Cygwin1.dll in his custom install. Oops. Guess I wasn't paying attention. Seems like a silly requirement that you can't add one cygwin component but... I wonder if regtool will just compile OOB with -mno-cygwin. Apologies if that was suggested, too. cgf -- 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: no installation instructions except in FAQ?
On Fri, 28 Feb 2003, Daniel B. wrote:
On the documentation page at http://cygwin.com/docs.html, there no
mention of installation instructions. It's not obvious that they are
hidden in the FAQ list.
Which is the right mailing to use to suggest to the documentation
developers that the installation instructions be pulled into an
installation guide?
Daniel,
This is the right place. If you feel that documentation is lacking, write
the appropriate sections and submit them to this list, preferably as a
patch against the CVS sources (see http://cygwin.com/cvs.html and
http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/?cvsroot=cygwin).
Patches thoughtfully considered^{TM}

Re: Algum brasileiro usa Cygwin ?
On Fri, 28 Feb 2003, Igor Pechtchanski wrote: FWIW, I was able to reproduce your problem on the bash shell in a command window (on Win2k). What's interesting, though, is that if the output were pasted to a regular Command prompt window, it pastes the accented characters sans the accents. True. I also reported it. When pasting into any Cygwin app run from that prompt, however, the accented characters disappear altogether. This may have something to do with the way fhandler_console processes input, but I don't know enough about that code to even start looking. And I know nothing, really. One more interesting (though probably unrelated) thing is that the Win2k Command window (with QuickEdit off) allows one to press the right mouse button to get a context menu (basically the Edit submenu of the main window menu). However, when any Cygwin app is run (say, cat), the right button stops working (though it does work as paste in QuickEdit mode). As I said, this is probably unrelated, but might provide a clue, so I thought it was worth mentioning. The same here on XP Professional. P.S. BTW, no offense, I'm just wondering, why a Portuguese subject line on a mostly English-speaking list? Sorry, to get some attention from brazilian users. BTW, are you able to reproduce the screen problem I reported at http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2003-02/msg00698.html ? I'm giving up. I really don't see the advantages of using the default terminal. Maybe only Full Screen ? Another problem is with the colors. Compare an application running in Full Screen and Window. The text is much darker with the latter, making it unreadable with certain applications. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED], dyndns.org} -- 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/
