Re: Problems with fonts --- need some help on displaying Cyrillicletters.

 Hello!
 
 I have some problems with xfree86 displaying Cyrillic characters. I run 
 the latest version of X on my cygwin machine (x-server), and FreeBSD 4.8 
 (x-clients). I use KDE as my desktop. When I run Konqueror, Cyrillic 
 characters look great, but when I run Mozilla, everything seems to be 
 smashed a lot and instead of Cyrillic characters, I get some squares 
 with numbers.

I guess the xinit script does set the fontpath with local pathnames. This
will not work for remote X unless you have the fonts on the cygwin machine
in the same path as on the bsd machine. 

You can instead use a fontserver. Add all fontpaths you need to 
/etc/X11/fs/config, restart the fontserver and start Xwin with the parameter
-fp tcp/bsd-host:7100 (7100 is the default port for the fontserver)
If the config file contains a nolisten = tcp then remove this line too.

Problem with XDMCP and an account of domain

[EXT / EUREKA LE CUNFF Laurent]

Hello, 
I use Cygwin in XDMCP to connect me to a station HP/COMPAQ OSF.40. I am
under NT 4.0 SP6. 
When I use an account local under Windows I obtain the screen of login of
the distant station into 2 or 3 seconds. 
With an account of domain this time passes to 40 seconds. Can you provide me
tracks concerning this problem.
 Thank you in advance.

 You can actually run konsole from the kde-cygwin package without using
 kwin as the window manager. It works perfectly in multi-window mode...
 might use up a bit more memory than others, but then, konsole rocks...

Really?  Even if KDE isn't run as the manager, would I not have to have
KDE installed?  That's an awfully big package to install when you're only
going to use one very small part of it.

weirdness on 95

[J S]

Hi all,

I have a windows 95 machine which is having problems. If I run XWin, the 
root window begins to fire up and then dies straight away. I have copied 
some of the log for you to see below.

I had the same problem when I tested the latest XWin-Test91 also. I tried 32 
and 16 bit color (no 24) but that wasn't the problem so I don't really know 
what it could be. There are a few messages in the log below marked 
WEIRDNESS so hopefully that might mean something to you. Let me know if 
there's anymore info I need to supply.

Cheers,

JS.

Re: weirdness on 95

[J S]

Thanks Harold,

I've tried the following:

XWin
XWin -ac -multiwindow
XWin -ac -rootless
but all gave me the same error. The network connection seemed to be OK on 
the box as well. Certainly I could ping it, telnet to other boxes, and map 
drives.

JS,

You need to show us the command-line parameters that you passed to 
XWin.exe.

Don't worry about the WEIRDNESS lines... they are being handled properly.

The real problem is the following lines:

 winMultiWindowXMsgProc - pthread_mutex_unlock () returned.
 winMultiWindowXMsgProc - DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0
 winMultiWindowXMsgProc - Could not open display, try: 1, sleeping: 5
 winInitMultiWindowWM - Could not open display, try: 1, sleeping: 5
That indicates that the MultiWindow threads are not able to connect to the 
server via TCP/IP.  This leads me to suspect that you are either passing 
-query or -nolisten tcp.

Painting problem under XP

[Philippe Bastiani]

Hi,

multiwindow mode: please note that before the first resizing of the XFree
screen the 2 upper corners are not painted properly (i.e.: the XFree
background appears in the place of the Window background)

rootless mode: a small border with the XFree background surrounds the
Windows screen... Is it a normal situation ?

Thanks for your job,
a+

Off list until I return

[Harold L Hunt II]

All,

I have removed myself from the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list 
until I return from my honeymoon.  Actually, we get back right near the 
4th of July weekend, so I won't really be back until around July 7th.

I expect many patches to be waiting for me ;)

Have fun until then!

Harold

Re: Problem w/ c++,threads,static initializers

[Thomas Pfaff]

Rasmus Hahn wrote:

Hello,

i am using cygwin on my Windows2000 and my c++ program segfaults
when using pthread-mutexes. In particular i am using a lot of
mutexes from within constructors of static objects. These constructors
are called at a very early time of execution of the program and do
calls of pthread_mutex_init, pthread_mutex_lock and such. Taken a glance
at the cygwin source i noticed that the static initializers (constructors
of static objects) are run _before_ some user_data-threadinterface is
initialized (look at dll_crt0_1 () in winsup/cygwin/dcrt0.cc). Isnt it 
possible to use thread-functions from static initializers?
BTW i am using cygwin snapshot 20030602 compiled with gcc-3.3 since the
out-of-the-box gcc from the cygwin-package is a prerelease and definitely
contains bugs that do not allow it to compile my code.

Could you provide a test case ?

I have done some tests and my constructors are run from
do_global_ctors if they are in the executable and from
dll_list::init if they are in a dll.
In both cases they are run when the cygwin dll is completely initialized.

Because I'm starting cron from the startup part of the start menu, I had

 As it seems to turn out, it's a problem in cron, not in Cygwin.  What

 has open console descriptors and so keeping the console open.  If you
 then try to close the console forcefully, you kill the child.
 
 Please apply the following patch to cron and report back whether cron
 does for you what it's supposed to do (parent leaves, window can be
 closed, cron still processes files), or not.
 
 Your positive feedback will trigger a new cron version asap :-)
 
 Thanks,
 Corinna

problem with flushing the input buffer

[Ben McDonald]

i am having problems with running java programs in cygwin.
it only has problems with programs containing user input. when it comes down to 
the input line, it is reading in the enter key-stroke that is used to run the 
program. having two input readers in a row fixes the problem, but this seems to 
be a tedious solution. do you have any ideas??

Question regarding setup, upset and post install scripts

[Alan Miles]

All,

I am running cygwin at work and at home. As I need to customize cygwin for
each environment (i.e., one for work, one for home)
I found a way to build custom packages, that I would like to integrate
into my setup.

Such customizations include:

- For ** my ** environments - remove the space in the passwd files for a
user name (I have posted messages on this list in the past regarding a more
primitive version)
- Adding Win32 CPAN support to perl (I have posted messages on this list in
the past regarding patches)
- I ** NEEDED ** a -u flag to jar (the cygwin versions says it is
unsupported), so build a wrapper script to a Windows version (uses
cygpath to do cygwin/Windows file name conversions) etc.

To integrate these into my setup, I found information on this list regarding
upset, setup.hints etc.

I have somewhat successfully got the setup.ini file working.

However, my postinstall script is malfunctioning and I am trying to figure
out how to debug it. When I run it ** AFTER ** cygwin has installed (not
using my integration) the script works fine.

How can I capture the output to a log file (via the setup) mechanism? I
found these messages, but they haven't helped me too much. Any ideas?

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: login-1.9-5

[Corinna Vinschen]

I have updated the version of login(1) to 1.9-5.

This version solves a potential security problem.  On the other hand,
this requires to have a well maintained /etc/passwd and /etc/group file.
If the login now fails, check that the group in your passwd entry
matches a group in /etc/group and check that the group really exists.


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.

If you have general questions or comments, please send them to the
Cygwin mailing list at: cygwin at cygwin dot com.  I would appreciate
it if you would use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly.

Vim and the navigating with arrow keys

[Brian . Kelly]

True Vim'ers DO NOT navigate with arrow keys. I remember reading that
somewhere. Certainly
the correct way to navigate in Vim is with the  H  J  K  and  L  keys.
Understood, acknowledged,
yaddy yadda yaaa. That said - I like to use the arrow keys. It's habitual
and something I've been
doing for years and years. And like most folks, I resist change.
Therefore, I'm a little disturbed
that the latest Vim appears to have completely disabled the arrow keys for
navigation, or even for
mapping. Is this a planned and permanent new condition?? The previous
version  6.1-300 still has
arrow keys enabled, but 6.2-1 does not - or so it appears. Now I do note,
the navigating appears
much more precise and improved with 6.2-1, no more having to do CTRL-L's to
refresh the screen
after navigating small text files. (Which was a bother). I don't use RXVT,
but bash in a cmd shell. I'm
a minimalist at heart and try to use native and ubiquitous utilities to the
greatest extent possible -
which is why I long ago chose Vi as my primary editor. Because it's
everywhere, especially in
UNIX, I'm never without my editor. Anyhow, I'd just to like to know if
anyone else has noticed this,
cares, or knows something about it. I can of course live without arrows,
but I'd rather not if I don't
have to.

You are mistaken. Arrow keys are working fine in:

  VIM - Vi IMproved 6.2 (2003 Jun 1, compiled Jun  1 2003 19:49:13)

If arrow keys are not functioning for you in Vim, the problem is not 
Vim itself.

What TERM setting are you using? I have always found Vim to be 
virtually flawless in screen maintenance with TERM=cygwin under the 
Cygwin console-based terminal emulation.

Alan,

The first one is outdated, but the second should still be relevant.  The
newer versions of setup.exe (including the one on the Cygwin homepage --
http://cygwin.com/setup.exe) should save the output of postinstall
scripts into /var/log/setup.log.full (both stdout and stderr).  Note that
if the script outputs nothing and commands simply return non-zero exit
codes, this fact won't be captured in setup.log.full, so you'll have to
at least set the '-x' flag.

non network install

[B Thomas]

Hi,
I would be gratefull if you could help with the following problem:

I am trying to make a CD so that cywin  binary/source can be installed
from this CD. The reason being I only have a linux computer my friend
only has a Windows XP. I have a fast internet connection , he has none.
we finally did get his computer hooked up to my network and installed. 
However I would like to know how to do this still

So I mirrored a cygwin ftp archive and burned them onto a CD. However when
I try to install  from the CD I get the following two errors many, many
times when the post-install scripts are running.

1) sed.exe : The procedure entry point libintl_gettext could not be located in
the dynamic link library cygintl-2.dll . 

2) basename.exe : The procedure entry point libintl_bindtextdomain
could not be located in the dynamic link library cygintl-2.dll

Apparently as a result of these errors almost nothing works not even -
ls, man , info ... etc.

Since we have been trying to install almost the entire distro it is not
possible that some thing is missing. If i am correct this particular
library is provided by the gettext package which is being installed too.


I also noticed oddly that setup.exe classifies packages into categories
when I ran it on his computer , and did a network install but it lists
all packages in one category misc when we tried to install from the CD
i made. 

If this question has been often repeated here , I would be gratefull if
you could just point me to the appropriate page. I  have seen the
script mkcygwget but would like to know how to obtain the corresponding
source to make a source CD too.

sincerely
B Thomas

1.3.22: popen() fails without /bin/sh

[Hanak Michal-r50233]

Hello,

it seems to me that the popen() does not work correctly in applications running on 
hosts without /bin/sh available. 

The Cygwin's popen() should normally work in a way that after vfork(), the 
execl(/bin/sh...) is tried first and if it fails, the execlp(sh...) is tried to 
find sh on PATH. (see source in newlib/libc/posix.c/popen.c, or code lines bellow).

A problem is that the execlp() gets never called because unsuccessful execl() causes 
vfork-ed child process to exit. Workaround is to use fork() instead of vfork() but 
this is perhaps too expensive. 

Does anybody face similar problem ? 
Is there any workaround if I want/need to use the built-in popen()?

Many Thanks,
Michal



Just for clarification, this is the sequence in newlib/libc/posix.c/popen.c:


execl(_PATH_BSHELL, sh, -c, program, NULL);
#ifdef __CYGWIN__
/* On cygwin32, we may not have /bin/sh.  In that
case, try to find sh on PATH.  */
execlp(sh, sh, -c, program, NULL);
#endif



Attached there are two example files. The file fails.c shows application which fails 
to spawn simple pwd when /bin/sh is not on path. The file works.c shows the 
private popen2() workaround using fork().

Re: [ANNOUNCE] LibXSLT (1.0.27) test packages available

[Patrick Eisenacher]

Hi Elfyn,

sorry for the little delay, but Monday was a holiday here in Germany, so 
I took the chance to get some private work done. Back in the office 
today, I saw that you have published the updated packages.

I reran the basic test I sent you and that worked fine, both with the 
v1.50.0 and the latest v1.61.2 XSL stylesheets.

Unfortunately my next test failed :o( It gets transformed well with the 
old versions of libxml2 and libxslt and the v1.61.2 XSL stylesheets. But 
the new versions fail with the v1.61.2 XSL stylesheets. After narrowing 
down the problem, I identified the affiliation tag within the 
authorgroup tag as the culprit of causing a segmentation fault. 
Running the same test on a real unix box, caused xsltproc to segfault as 
well. So the problem seems not to be with your port, but with xsltproc 
itself. xsltproc crahses in the xsltApplyTemplates() function.

Uff, this turns out to be a real beast...I'm going to contact Daniel 
about it, hoping to get a new version of xsltproc...

Nevertheless, congratulations for the port!

Patrick

BTW: If you want to crash xsltproc, try this:

-bash-2.05b$ xsltproc -catalogs

I've upgraded the Cygwin LibXSLT package to 1.0.30-1 and xsltproc
now works with the DocBook stylesheets. Your simple test and a few

 Hi,

 we finally did get his computer hooked up to my network and installed.
 However I would like to know how to do this still

 So I mirrored a cygwin ftp archive and burned them onto a CD. However when
 I try to install  from the CD I get the following two errors many, many
 times when the post-install scripts are running.

 1) sed.exe : The procedure entry point libintl_gettext could not be

 2) basename.exe : The procedure entry point libintl_bindtextdomain
 could not be located in the dynamic link library cygintl-2.dll

 Apparently as a result of these errors almost nothing works not even -
 ls, man , info ... etc.

 Since we have been trying to install almost the entire distro it is not
 possible that some thing is missing. If i am correct this particular
 library is provided by the gettext package which is being installed too.


 I also noticed oddly that setup.exe classifies packages into categories
 when I ran it on his computer , and did a network install but it lists
 all packages in one category misc when we tried to install from the CD
 i made. 

You've missed the setup.ini file, which contains all the category and
dependency information.

Obviously you haven't installed the entire distribution, because
cygintl-2.dll is in the libintl2 package.

Re: Vim and the navigating with arrow keys

[Brian . Kelly]

Well Randy, you were partially right (you may indeed be fully right, and me
fully wrong). I had set up my profile ages ago when my cygwin know-how
was much less than the little I know now. So somehow I ended up with
TERM=rxvt. I changed it to TERM=cygwin and indeed, the arrow keys are back.
However, I do take issue with your practically flawless line - for I
still have the need to do CTRL-L refreshes with small files. Example:

Simple text file with the following text:

cygrunsrv -E cron


Open in Vim, and do nothing but touch the L (lower case of course) key and
navigate to the end of the line. The following text is the result:

ccygrunsrv -E cro


Of course a simple CTRL-L (lower case L) fixes this.

I get the same result with the arrow keys.


This is nothing new to me, and I've been living with it as long as I've used
cygwin and vim together.
The behavior occurs when navigating the first few lines of a large file, or
any line of a file small enough to fit completely on the screen.

None of this is crippling and if there is some setting I can change to correct
it, it would be nice.

I thank you sir for pointing out my incorrect TERM setting. Since I'm not
qualified to give you a gold star, I'll simply pledge my support give you
my promise
to cast a ballot for you if a gold star referendum were ever held. ( hmmm, I

True Vim'ers DO NOT navigate with arrow keys. I remember reading
that somewhere. Certainly the correct way to navigate in Vim is with
the  H  J  K  and  L  keys. Understood, acknowledged, yaddy yadda
yaaa. That said - I like to use the arrow keys. It's habitual and
something I've been doing for years and years. And like most folks, I
resist change. Therefore, I'm a little disturbed that the latest
Vim appears to have completely disabled the arrow keys for navigation,
or even for mapping.

You are mistaken. Arrow keys are working fine in:

   VIM - Vi IMproved 6.2 (2003 Jun 1, compiled Jun  1 2003 19:49:13)

If arrow keys are not functioning for you in Vim, the problem is not
Vim itself.


Is this a planned and permanent new condition?? The previous
version  6.1-300 still has arrow keys enabled, but 6.2-1 does not - or
so it appears. Now I do note, the navigating appears much more precise
and improved with 6.2-1, no more having to do CTRL-L's to refresh the
screen after navigating small text files. (Which was a bother). I
don't use RXVT, but bash in a cmd shell.

What TERM setting are you using? I have always found Vim to be
virtually flawless in screen maintenance with TERM=cygwin under the
Cygwin console-based terminal emulation.


I'm a minimalist at heart and try to use native and ubiquitous
utilities to the greatest extent possible - which is why I long ago
chose Vi as my primary editor. Because it's everywhere, especially
in UNIX, I'm never without my editor. Anyhow, I'd just to like to
know if anyone else has noticed this, cares, or knows something about
it. I can of course live without arrows, but I'd rather not if I don't
have to.

We're all deeply caring people here, even if a bit mean.

Re: Problems on accessing Windows network resources.

[Takashi Yano]

 1) Share a directory shared1 on computer1 set same password with a local account.
 2) Be sure that \\computer1\shared1 can be accessed with no password query from the 
 local account.
 3) Login to the local account using ftp.
 4) Access to \\computer1\shared1 from ftp login fails except for the first access 
 after logging in as follows.

I have found that this problem can be resolved by adding setegid()/setgid()
prior to each seteuid()/setuid() in ftpd.c, though I don't understand what this means 
essentially.

Does this become a hint?

Weird. Perhaps this is in aticipation of some format adaption for SMTP...

So it's very likely related to your input data, nothing behaving
different in the Cygwin version of OpenSSL.
It seems, no matter what input data the smime tool gets, it always 
converts it CR LF. As long as this is consistent on all platforms, I'm 
fine with it.

Re: non network install

[Don Sharp]

Hi there

My WAG is that you need to place all those top level directory contents
into a single new top level directory. setup.exe is said to fumble the
ball if you try an install from a package directory which is the root
directory of a drive.

When you run

CD:\newtop\setup.exe

you have to ensure that the nominated local package directory is

CD:\newtop

Executable hang when using a cygwin telnet session

[Chris Lidgate]

Hi all

I have just seen something that seemed very odd, and I can't find any information 
about it that seems relevant in any of the usual places.

A colleague is developing a win32 console cli program that does some useful stuff ... 
We've been testing it physically on our win2000 box under a normal dos prompt - and it 
works fine. We can also run the program from a BASH shell if I physically open the 
cygwin shell on the win2000 console. Again the new program does all of the stuff I 
would expect. 

Then I had a great idea, if we could telnet into our win2000 box we could put several 
people onto the testing of the new program. If I telnet into the box under the normal 
cygwin telnetd service, the program hangs (in the program loader ?) without producing 
any output at all (normally the first thing it does is printf a version / wellcome 
header). CRTL C will bring back the bash session, but the cli program refuses to run.

HOWEVER, all of the normal win32 console apps (tracert, ipconfig, yadda yadda yadda) 
run perfectly well from the telnet session. I'm sure there is nothing wrong with inetd 
or telnetd as we use it quite a lot, but it's as if I'm missing something fundemental.

Does anyone know why this program would behave like this and know if there are any 
workarounds ??

Re: Vim and the navigating with arrow keys

[Brian . Kelly]

KUDOS - I had the following setting in the registry:

  /usr/bin/inetd.exe  REG_SZ  binmode tty ntsec

Took out the tty and suddenly Vim works the way one would normally expect
it to.

Of course the above settings were standard fare for inetd installs
according to setup
instructions circa 2000-2001. They may still be - I don't know, haven't
looked. Anyhow,
do you know offhand if there is still any compelling reason to have tty in
the Cygwin
environment variable?

Thanks again.

Dear Sirs/Madams,

Please find enclosed patches for your respective distributions. These 
patches allow exim to not fail on sendmail like switch -O.

In send mail the -O switch allows configuration options to be set via the 
command line to override the .conf settings.

Its general syntax is:

 -O option=value
 or the popular undocumented:
 -Ooption=value


I believe this addresses Wish-List Item 181 for exim 3.

This patch is needed to allow Bugzilla 2.17.4 to install and run properly 
on cygwin. They use:

 -ODeliveryMode=deferred
 -ODeliveryMode=background

We look forward to seeing this patch included in your next release or 
fix.

Sincerely,

Jason Pyeron

RE: problem with telnet, xinetd, native console apps

[David Byron]

On Monday, June 9 @ 5:22p, I wrote:

 I seem to have run into the same problem that folks with 
 inetutils pre 1.3.2-11 had with console output from native 
 apps not getting displayed in a telnet session.

 My console app doesn't display any output.

A bit more info here.  I get the same behavior via ssh and sshd.  I'm doing

$ ssh localhost

to start the session, as I was doing

$ telnet localhost

and

$ rsh localhost

before.

I tried getting inetd working and turning off xinetd to see if that would
work, but no luck there.  I think I followed the instructions in
/usr/doc/Cygwin/inetutils-1.3.2.README correctly, but net start inetd fails.
When I reboot the system, I get two errors in the system event log from the
service control manager.  They say that inetd took more than 3 seconds to
start.

Part of the instructions is to set the CYGWIN environment variable to
binmode tty ntsec but when I do that, my program stops working even in a
plain old bash with no telnet, no ssh, etc.

Not sure if it's of interest, but my home directory when I start bash is
c:/home/dbyron -- the same as the HOME user environment variable.  My home
directory after telnet or ssh is /cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/dbyron
-- same as if I had opened up a cmd window.

If anyone has pointers to get this working, I'd love to hear about them.

Thanks much.

multicast support

[John Ostrom]

I was wondering what the status of multicast is in Cygwin. I read some 
posts by Yang-hua Chu ( Subject : support for multicast socket  ) on 
April 30 2002 indicating that there was not support at that point. Has 
this status changed?

I seem to have the same problem with failing to bind after setting the 
socket options. And I am aware that winsock constants might be 
different. Yet, that did not appear to solve the issue either.

Any suggestions?

Thanks again,
John Ostrom

Re: [ANNOUNCE] LibXSLT (1.0.27) test packages available

 Hi Elfyn,

 sorry for the little delay, but Monday was a holiday here in Germany, so
 I took the chance to get some private work done. Back in the office
 today, I saw that you have published the updated packages.

 I reran the basic test I sent you and that worked fine, both with the
 v1.50.0 and the latest v1.61.2 XSL stylesheets.

 Unfortunately my next test failed :o( It gets transformed well with the
 old versions of libxml2 and libxslt and the v1.61.2 XSL stylesheets. But
 the new versions fail with the v1.61.2 XSL stylesheets. After narrowing
 down the problem, I identified the affiliation tag within the
 authorgroup tag as the culprit of causing a segmentation fault.
 Running the same test on a real unix box, caused xsltproc to segfault as
 well. So the problem seems not to be with your port, but with xsltproc
 itself. xsltproc crahses in the xsltApplyTemplates() function.

 Uff, this turns out to be a real beast...I'm going to contact Daniel
 about it, hoping to get a new version of xsltproc...

This has been fixed in CVS (see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=112703).
I'd guess it will be in the next version, which I will of course be on the look
out for. :-)

 Nevertheless, congratulations for the port!

Thanks.

Re: Vim and the navigating with arrow keys

[Brian . Kelly]

You are right. The tty is not the problem. Turns out Randy was completely
correct in that the
problem was with the TERM setting. I just put it back to rxvt and the
problem came back. Took
it out - problem went away. All the while tty is set in the Registry. So it
does seem that the TERM
setting is the determiner. I must be losing it - I thought I had closed
all open cmd windows and
opened a new one after updating the .profile - but - alas - that probably
is not what actually
happened.

rsh and rsync

[Jing Zhao]

I have downloaded cygwin today.

Doing rsync from Windows 2000 (running cygwin) to NetBSD Unix box with
the following:

rsync -av test.txt [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/sd0/rsync

I got the following error:
-
Runs commands on remote hosts running the RSH service.

RSH host [-l username] [-n] command

  hostSpecifies the remote host on which to run command.
  -l username Specifies the user name to use on the remote host. If
  omitted, the logged on user name is used.
  -n  Redirects the input of RSH to NULL.
  command Specifies the command to run.

rsync: read error: Connection reset by peer
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at

-

The rshd is running on NetBSD, .rhosts is setup and I tried rsh standalone
and run fine. Looked like the rsh usage is 

'RSH host [-l username] [-n] command'

but the rsh in rsync expected a different format.
On Unix boxes, it is:

rsh [-nd] [-l login] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [command]

What's wrong with this picture?

BTW, when specified ssh as the shell, rsync worked fine.

It really would be helpful to see the output of cygcheck -r -s -v

if vim works for you if you login to Windows and use cygwin.bat
instead.

Re: non network install

[B Thomas]

As I mentioned earlier I was trying to help a friend without a network 
connection install it . But now I just want to know how it can be done
as I was trying to make a Cygwin CD so that he could use it to install
both binaries and sources when he pleases. With a fair bit of
inconvienence (as neither of us have a car) , we finally got his computer 
to my place and installed it over the network. I did not have a windows 
OS on my own computer to be able to run setup and did not trust wine.

Now let me give you a stronger reason why I think distributing software
ONLY by network installs is a very bad idea. If you were a average
working man in almost any other country other than america then as you
may check for your self a high speed internet would be quite a pinch on
your monthly salary. To many it would not even be affordable. So if you
think about this a while, making network install the only option is in 
very bad taste. I mention this since you specifically asked . Now if you do 
see my point is sincere and a valid one, you should be wondering why is
there so little documentation on the cygwin site on how to do this or
why is it almost impossible to find a reasonably priced CD rom
distribution being sold by anyone ?. What kind of a marketing strategy do
you think RedHat had here when they specifically took over cygwin from
the earstwhile Cygnus solutions?

If  anyone does know of such a CD Rom distribution of the Cywin
product family (both source and binary) I would very happly buy one so
that I could help many more people install it on their computers, in
future, with greater ease. In the absence of such an alternative I was
looking for how to build a CD Rom distribution myself but found hardly
any information!!

Re: Distributed Cygwin DLL's (fwd)

[Larry Hall (RFK Partners, Inc.)]

Does his zip file contain written notice that he will provide the
source if requested for a period of at least 3 years?
Either way, I think this guy is setting himself up for a fall if
he's not archiving versions of the source.  You can't get a copy of
3 year old Cygwin source for an arbitrary (or any) distribution from cygwin.com. 
 Perhaps someone else is archiving each release for the
past three years for his benefit.  I'm skeptical of that though.

Re: non network install

We did try copying the CD contents to his harddrive to a directory in
My Documents\temp\Cygwin\setup.exe(and other subdirectories)
Then ran setup and specified that we wanted to install from local disk
with path My Documents\temp\Cygwin\release.
Even this gave the same errors as I originally posted. It was then we
decided to make the effort to get his computer to my place. Please
correct me if I am wrong but this seems to indicate the problem here was
not that of the top level directory. Could you kindly point me to the

 My WAG is that you need to place all those top level directory contents
 into a single new top level directory. setup.exe is said to fumble the
 ball if you try an install from a package directory which is the root

 When you run
 
 CD:\newtop\setup.exe
 
 you have to ensure that the nominated local package directory is

Re: non network install

Now let me give you a stronger reason why I think distributing software
ONLY by network installs is a very bad idea. 


Hm, what makes you think that Cygwin can only be distributed via network
installs?  You yourself noted that all the packages were available for
download via FTP.  Just because you couldn't find the one piece of
information you needed to make this work for you doesn't mean that the
option doesn't exist.

If you were a average
working man in almost any other country other than america then as you
may check for your self a high speed internet would be quite a pinch on
your monthly salary. To many it would not even be affordable. So if you
think about this a while, making network install the only option is in 
very bad taste. I mention this since you specifically asked . Now if you do 
see my point is sincere and a valid one, you should be wondering why is
there so little documentation on the cygwin site on how to do this or
why is it almost impossible to find a reasonably priced CD rom
distribution being sold by anyone ?. What kind of a marketing strategy do
you think RedHat had here when they specifically took over cygwin from
the earstwhile Cygnus solutions?


It does sound like a sinister plot.  But only because you're making it
into one.  Red Hat bought Cygnus Solutions.  That has no bearing on the
free software Cygwin project.  While it's true that no corporation is
selling Cygwin on a CD AFAIK, that doesn't mean that someone can't.
Perhaps if you asked the list for such an offering, someone here would've
been willing to provide such a CD for you.

If  anyone does know of such a CD Rom distribution of the Cywin
product family (both source and binary) I would very happly buy one so
that I could help many more people install it on their computers, in
future, with greater ease. In the absence of such an alternative I was
looking for how to build a CD Rom distribution myself but found hardly
any information!!


Sounds like you're quite worked up about this.  That's too bad.  True,
there is not page on the Cygwin site that gives you step-by-step
instructions on how to make a Cygwin CD.  But others have asked before on
this email list and the details of the process have been covered.  You
could've looked there.  And actually, it's not that difficult.  Really,
I expect you have it right now.  You just missed the rather arcane fact
that things don't work unless you put it all in a subdirectory of the CD.
C'est la vie.

  My WAG is that you need to place all those top level directory contents

  When you run

  you have to ensure that the nominated local package directory is

No offense taken.  I just wanted to be clear on the issues so that others
who may see this thread in the email archives would get accurate information.
Personally, I'd be real happy to see your instructions on making a CD
become part of the Cygwin site.  Would you consider supplying some wording
or even a patch to the User's Guide?

Shankar,

The bash man page says

  An interactive shell is one started without  non-option  arguments  and
  without  the  -c  option  whose standard input and output are both con-
  nected to terminals (as determined by isatty(3)), or one  started  with
  the  -i  option.   PS1 is set and $- includes i if bash is interactive,
  allowing a shell script or a startup file to test this state.
I suspect that your bash may be getting confused about whether it's
running interactively.  Try printing $- from inside bash.  Also try giving
the '-i' option to bash and see if it helps.

And that's exactly how I start it.

  C:\ env CYGWIN=tty bash

However, I now see that the effects of this are odd, at best. Sometimes,
when I start it this way, the *first* command I type is echoed properly, but
the second and subsequent ones are not echoed. And some other times, it
comes up from the start as noecho.

But then again:

  C:\ set CYGWIN=tty
  C:\ bash

This works flawlessly. Commands always echo, and I can start and exit vim to
my heart's content. Actually, this seems to point out that vim is likely
*NOT* the culprit, and that it's a bash weirdness of some sort when it's
passed CYGWIN=tty in the envp[] only (and not in the system environment). 

Is some part of the runtime initializing itself from the system environment,
while others look at envp[], perhaps?

Interesting..

From the subject, you clearly already have an idea. If you check the

how you should be doing it.

Of course, checking for a platform kind of goes against the whole

 I saw your project mentioned on one of the Savannah mailing lists. I noticed
 that on this page (http://www.cs.hut.fi/Research/Dynamics/software.html) you

 contains, among other files, the Cygwin library (cygwin1.dll). You are also
 distributing Cygwin shared libraries for Ncurses and GNU Readline, and as far as
 I could tell, no sources to accompany those binaries.

 Are you aware that the GPL requires that you make such sources available?

Yes. The source code is publicly available on a number sites. The
binaries are built using unmodified versions of the source code
provided by the copyright holder(s). AFAIK the GPL requires that
you make the source available upon request. If someone requests the
source code I will be happy to give a pointer to the source code on
another site, place it on a server on my own for downloading, send
it by email or burn it on a CD and snailmail the CD.

Feel free to forward this to him:

As long as you can provide the exact source code required to regenerate the
DLL that you are providing and you advertise the fact that you will make
it available on request, that should be fine.  Pointing elsewhere is not
acceptable unless you have made an arrangement with another site to provide
the sources for your binaries.  We do not offer this service since we only
keep the source code for the last couple of releases around.

We see these types of issues all of the time.  We've asked Richard
Stallman about this issue and he pointed us to the FSF GPL FAQ,
specifically:

RE: AC_CYGWIN?

[Alexander Enchevich]

Thanks for the tip Max, I looked in 'info autoconf' and found this 

=info autoconf===
If you want to base a decision on the system where your program 
will be run, make sure you use the `$host' variable, as in the 
following excerpt:

 case $host in
   *-*-msdos* | *-*-go32* | *-*-mingw32* | *-*-cygwin* | *-*-windows*)
 MUMBLE_INIT=mumble.ini
 ;;
   *)
 MUMBLE_INIT=.mumbleinit
 ;;
 esac
 AC_SUBST([MUMBLE_INIT])
=info autoconf===

So I guess that's all I need...

Of course, checking for a platform kind of goes against the whole
feature-not-platform tests ideal of autoconf.

I have to! :/ The code is already there, full of defines (#ifdef WIN32 and
#ifdef APPLE) and it was not written with Linux or cygwin in mind and now it
has to be converted, so...

Re: non network install

[B Thomas]

In-Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thank you very much for all your replies. Having the distribution in 
folder below the top one does indeed solve the problem. 

I wrote a bunch of tiny bash scripts to make the check dependencies and
make the iso image for two CD's. I shall put up the scripts and detailed 
instructions on my web page this weekend. I will be gladly help in
making the patch to the users manual too. I am familiar with TeX, LaTeX
and HTML but not Texinfo. I shall try learning it , but that will take
me time. If there is a posibility for converting LateX/Tex with Texinfo
that would be great. However I would like to develop the scripts into
a simple but effective program for making the images first. 
Here are some of my concerns with writing a program for making CD
images, please do make suggetions as appropriate . Right now the way I 
have it set is that the entire distribution fits onto 2 CD's , except 
1997 and 1998 mail-archives. I have tried to make these CD's so that 
all packages on CD 1 do not depend on any package on CD 2 . However 
packages in CD 2 may depend on CD 1. I did this as I was not sure how
setup.exe would behave if it found unmet dependencies. I guess I could
have deleted the older versions and unnecessary things like
mail-archives so that it all fit on one CD. However personally I was
disinclined to do this as I don't see why we must have such a
restriction that the CD ROM distribution has to be one CD. Moreover 
Cywin is bound to grow. Also having older version may be a good idea
since if there is a bug in a later version that is unacceptable to the
user he may choose an older one. 

The way I am doing the dependency checking right now is not very
satisfactory and would appreciate suggestions . I greped through 
the setup.hints files in each package directory , picked out the 
requires lines , appropriately edited it using sed , makeing a table
which I saved in a file. I also have another file that is a table with 
two columns - one the package name (directory) and the other the CD to
which it belong. A script then uses these two files to check
dependencies of CD 1 are fullfilled within it . 

I am acutely aware that this is not the way to go so would like to build
a portable and robust script that would able to do all of the above
using just the ftp archive . I would like to be insensitive to changes
in the ftp archive and be portable to atleast windows and linux .
I am familiar with C, C++, Java , BASH , Fortran and would be willing
tor try another language if appropriate.  What do you think ?

Also both dpkg, and rpm have very powerfull dependency checking engines
so this seems like reinventing the wheel. Alternatively is it better to 
hack the setup.exe code to do all this. I haven't read the code so am
not very sure if it is portable .

sincerely
B Thomas

 Hi,
 I did not mean to offend anyone. I do have strong feelings about such

 No offense taken.  I just wanted to be clear on the issues so that others
 who may see this thread in the email archives would get accurate 
 information.
 
 Personally, I'd be real happy to see your instructions on making a CD
 become part of the Cygwin site.  Would you consider supplying some wording
 or even a patch to the User's Guide?

login to cygwin on win2K and see network drives

[quicka]

Hi
I have Cygwin version 1.3.22, running on Win2K SP3.
I want to set it up so I can have inetd running and use telnet to log in.
I have set up my password and groups files so the user information is loaded from the 
domain controller (using mkpasswd, mkgroup).
I can install the inetd service (inetd -install-as-service), and start it.
I can log in OK using my user name and password, BUT any existing shares mounted onto 
drive letters are not available.
This used to work OK under NT4, and now does not seem to work under Win2K (though I 
upgraded my version of cygwin between these also.) I cannot go back to NT4, as my NT4 
machines has been replaced.
Can you help?

Setup hangs between create icons and postinstall und

[Will Marsh]

I downloaded the latest version of Setup (2.340.2.5) and have tried 
to
install it several times under Win ME 4.90.3000.  It always hangs at
the same point, right after Create Icons, with the following 
message
in a DOS window:  This program has performed an illegal 
operation and
will be terminated.  Quit all programs and then restart your
computer.  If I click on the Details box, all it gives me is Fault
Location :   C000.0D66Restarting windows at this point and 
trying
to run Cygwin gives the same message with a different Fault 
Location
:   C000.7A00

At this point, if I check C:\cygwin\etc\postinstall, all the files
have .sh at the end, none have the .done.  C:\cygwin\var\log doesn't
exist.  

I've tried the default install, the ALL install,  and the default + a
few packages.  Same results for all of them.  I've tried running setup
again over the top, same results.  I've tried deleting the whole thing
(directories, registry entries, Setup) and starting over, same
results.

Any ideas or other things I should check?

Some useful permission setting scripts

[Max Polk]

I've tried a bunch of things, nothing seems to work better and more
cleanly than these few scripts I wrote for setting or resetting file
permissions in cygwin on Windows XP, especially when things seem
stuck or weird.  The order of the chmod and the chown before the
cacls command is important.  The double quotes are important,
especially since there are MANY spaces in filenames in Windows.


FILENAME: /usr/local/bin/permission-everyone
PURPOSE:  Resets permission recursively to be available to everybody
USAGE:It takes a while for this to complete if your directory
  is big, just wait.

#! /bin/sh

for file in $@; do
echo $file
chmod -R 777 $file
chown -R Administrators:SYSTEM $file
echo y | cacls $file /t /g everyone:f
done



FILENAME: /usr/local/bin/permission-bozo
PURPOSE:  Lets me and
WARNING:  If you omit nt authority\system then services that start
  at system time can't read your files.
WARNING:  If you omit administrators then if you reinstall Windows,
  you can NEVER, NEVER, EVER get to the file again, even as
  administrator!  (SOLUTION: use partition magic, convert
  your drive to FAT32 drops the bad permission, then
  convert your drive back to NTFS which sets default
  permissions letting you get to your files again).
NOTE: Replace bozo with your user name.

#! /bin/sh

for file in $@; do
echo $file
chmod -R 755 $file
chown -R Administrators:SYSTEM $file
echo y | cacls $file /t /g nt authority\system:f bozo:f administrators:f
done



FILENAME: /usr/local/bin/permission-bozo-not-recursive
PURPOSE:  Same as above, but only works on the one file, not recursively

#! /bin/sh

for file in $@; do
echo $file
chmod 755 $file
chown Administrators:SYSTEM $file
echo y | cacls $file /g nt authority\system:f bozo:f administrators:f
done



FILENAME: /usr/local/bin/permission-strictly-bozo
PURPOSE:  If you ignore the warnings above, use this to make the
  files only viewable strictly by bozo.
WARNING:  See warning above about not letting Administrator in.
  You've been warned!
NOTE: Replace bozo with your user name.

#! /bin/sh

for file in $@; do
echo $file
chmod -R 700 $file
chown -R Bozo:None $file
echo y | cacls $file /t /g bozo:f
done

Re: non network install

[B Thomas]

Here are the scripts I used, some explaination is also in another post
to this thread :

---
#!/bin/sh
# Script to check the dependencies of packages in the Cygwin distribution
# The script needs the file CDindex.txt and depends.txt in the same
# directory as it is in, which must be the parent directory of the cywin
# distribution (i.e. the parent of the ftp directory of cygwin)
# The file CDindex.txt is created as described in duimage and the file
# depends.txt is created by greping through the setup.hints file in
# each packages directory and extracting lines with requires in them (some
# manual editing was necessary to fix bugs caused by non standard
# step.hints)
# The output of this helps identify dependency problems .
# USAGE: chkdepends [cd1 | cd2]
#
for item in `cat CDindex.txt | grep $1 | grep release | sed 's/^.*release\///'`
do
  echo Dependencies of package  $item :
  deps=`cat depends.txt | grep ^$item\: | sed 's/^.*requires\://'`
  for dep in $deps
do
  cd=`cat CDindex.txt | grep ^.*release/$dep$ | sed 's/\.*$//'`
  echo $dep - which is in $cd
done
echo -e \n
done
-
#!/bin/sh
# Gives size of images of the Cygwin archive for CD burning
# This uses a file CDindex.txt with directory listings to which a first column
# has been added indicating the CD number to which the particular directory or
# file must belong.
#
# USEAGE : ./duimage CD-NUMBER
# Where CD-NUMBER may be any one of the numbers used in the first column of
# CDindex.txt; this is written confirming to regular expression cd? in order
# to be compatible with the provided scripts
#
# NOTE:
# Depending on the format of the CDindex.txt file you may need to edit
# this script so that FILES is a single list of all directory entries whose
# image needs to be made.In particular the sed/grep script on the first
# line may# need to be changed. A good way to generate the CDindex.txt
# is to do
# du -hsc cygwin/*  CDindex.txt 
# in the parent of the directory to be archived i.e cygwin, and then edit it 
# to put in the first column specify CD number.

FILES=`cat CDindex.txt | grep ^$1 | sed 's/^.*cygwin\//cygwin\//'`
du -hsc $FILES
-
#!/bin/sh
# Makes images of the Cygwin archive for CD burning
# This uses a file CDindex.txt with directory listings to which a first column
# has been added indicating the CD number to which the particular
# directory or file must belong.
#
# USEAGE : ./makeimage CD-NUMBER
# Where CD-NUMBER may be any one of the numbers used in the first column
# of CDindex.txt . This will make an ISO image containing all the directory
# entries# whose first column is the particular number i.e. cd? (regexp)
#
# NOTE:

 echo $IMAGES

Re: Cygwin setup I18N problems

[Igor Pechtchanski]

Please do not send personal mail with Cygwin questions unless specifically
requested.  The Cygwin mailing list is the proper place to address all
Cygwin inquiries.  For your convenience, I've redirected this query there
and set the Reply-To appropriately.

You might also wish to repeat your search of the archives regarding CD-ROM
installation, as there have been some more discussions recently.

  I. Using CD-ROM to setup Cygwin


  1. I download the files from mirror site(ftp://cygwin.csie.ntu.edu.tw)

  2. I write a script file to seperate src  exe file (attach file:shelley.pl)
  ex: the CD contains
  release\a2ps\a2ps-4.12-1.tar.bz2
  release\a2ps\md5.sum
  release\a2ps\setup.hint

  3. reference mailing list

  4. when cygwin setup finished, the error messages show the following

  II. I18N for Cygwin

 1. I want to use Cygwin in Chinese output and input.

 2. I find about I18N from mailing-list hardly. the following mention a little

 http://skeishi.hp.infoseek.co.jp/cygwin+X/
 (This site I can't read Japanese)

 3. Could you tell me I18N for Cygwin situtations ?

 4. How to change locale into zh_TW.Big5 ? (attach file : locale.c)


 Thanks in advance !!
