Instructions to rebuild gcc-mingw?
I've been attempting to rebuild gcc-mingw, without much luck. The build scripts in the source tarball only assemble the package from a prebuilt tarball of a mingw gcc install. I've been unable to find a way to rebuild this encapsulated tarball. All my attempts have failed due to parts of Cygwin contaminating the configure tests for the mingw setup. Can anyone provide a functional build script for this? Thanks, Max.

The binaries are built by Danny Smith. I just repackage them. I include the source to be compatible with the GPL but if you want to rebuild completely from scratch you'll have to figure out how to do that. It's really not an issue for gcc-mingw or cygwin-apps. cgf

Benjamin Riefenstahl wrote: Hi, I always used to have problems with the package selection page in setup.exe (on W2K, using a custom screen resolution of 144 dpi). The package list never showed the vertical scrollbar. In the current version the mouse wheel didn't work either (another patch coming), so I couldn't scroll the list at all. I tracked this down now to a font issue. Turns out that the main window of the PropertySheet wizard uses the font alias MS Shell Dlg as its base font (as seen in the DLGTEMPLATE passed to PSCB_PRECREATE). The individual pages use the font alias MS Sans Serif as set in the resource file. With larger screen resolutions, this results in widely different ideas about the size of the dialog units that are used to measure dialogs and controls. The result is that the vertical scrollbar of the list was outside of the clipping region that the main window had set up. The simplest fix was to change the font in the resource file (patch attached). This is certainly better than the current situation, but I am not sure this is the best solution, as I am not sure that it is documented and garanteed that the wizard will use this specific font alias. Ideally we want either set the font for the main window to MS Sans Serif at an apropriate time (i.e. before dialog units are converted to pixel units), or in some other way synchronize the font for the individual sheets with the main window at runtime. I have not found a simple way to do this yet, though. If there is interest I can at least provide the code that I used to check the font that the main window is using and to write that to the log file. so long, benny 2003-05-19 Benjamin Riefenstahl [EMAIL PROTECTED] * res.rc (all dialogs): Change font from MS Sans Serif to MS Shell Dlg.

Potential patch for mkdirhier
hi all, i have recently discoverd that the script mkdirhier does not work properly on Cygwin (i doubt that i'm the first one who discovered this, but i can't find any patch on the web). the cause is that in the script, it is possible for /bin/sh to shift $@ such that you will get empty string for $filename. when that happens, mkdirhier will possibly try to mkdir such path //some/path -- this doesn't present any problem for Linux, but it is an error on Cygwin. Therefore, i propose the following patch to look out for empty string when parsing the path: --- mkdirhier.bak 2002-01-21 14:41:32.0 +0100 +++ mkdirhier 2003-06-22 15:51:23.0 +0200 @@ -43,6 +43,11 @@ for filename do +#[ywlaw] +if [ $filename = '' ]; then +continue +fi + path=$prefix$filename prefix=$path/ shift i hope this is a useful observation.

rdesktop.exe session on an X-terminal?
Greetings: We need to configure a single-host Win2k Terminal Server solution; this machine should provide Windows desktops on X-terminals. On a test machine using Cygwin/Xfree86 one may telnet from the X-terminal and establish an xterm (bash) session but 'rdesktop.exe' will not open a session on the remote display. 'rdesktop.exe' does open a session window on the console display if invoked from a console command prompt. 'rdesktop' running on a Unix host works well to provide a Windows session desktop on an X-terminal however we need to create a configuration which doesn't require a separate Unix host to provide X11 services. Also XDM running on Cygwin/Xfree86 will produce a 'willing to manage' broadcast and if the Win host is selected it does present a login screen but fails on authentication. Has anyone made XDM work?

Re: Problems with Nano
Did you know that nano-1.2.1 is now available at
http://www.nano-editor.org/dist/v1.2/nano-1.2.1.tar.gz ? It installs
perfectly well into Cygwin using ./configure; make; make install. (There are
options.)
I have had the reported screen-refreshing problems in the past but not
lately.
A minor problem with regexp Search-and-Replace: if I try to add {string} to
the end of every line in a file using Alt-rAlt-r (to get regexp mode)
Search $ Replace {string}then I just get repeated appends
{string}{string}{string}... at the current line and no sequential movement
to the next line. Any ideas?

Re: stderr outputs veerrrryyy slowly
Christopher Faylor wrote:
This crops up on the cygwin list from time to time.
IIRC, if you use 'setbuf(f, NULL)' in newlib (as is the case for

the rationale was basically a This isn't broken. We're allowed to do

Hmmm. Well, I managed to come up with this minimal testcase:
#include stdio.h
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
char *msg = This is a test! , *ptr;
int i;
for(i = 0; i 100; i++) {
for(ptr = msg; *ptr; ptr++) {

}
}
}

user0m0.030s
sys 0m0.010s
Without CYGWIN=tty
real0m0.078s
user0m0.030s
sys 0m0.020s
Should it really take almost 16 seconds to print 1600 characters to
stderr?
Furthermore, if you change 'stderr' to 'stdout' above, the problem no
longer happens, regardless of the setting of tty in $CYGWIN. So it's
specific to stderr.
Can anyone make heads (or tails) of this now?

Re: cygwin and the rest of the Windows
Let me re-cap what you just said: create a perl.bat with line: c:\cygwin\bin\bash --login /usr/bin/perl %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 which will work as my perl interpreter... and associate my .pl files with this perl.bat if I want to use shell script as well, then I suppose I would need to associate my .sh files with c:\cygwin\bin\bash --login...is this correct??? so when I do my programming, I should keep in mind that I only have the cygwin filesystem to access right? so if I want to point to a file /home/admin/foo, I would use /home/admin/foo, and not c:\cygwin\home\admin\foo. Is this correct??? Ling, Well, technically, you'll have to do a bit more than that. First off, the #![1] line will not be recognized by Windows. Thus, you'll need to associate the .pl extension *in Windows Explorer* with whatever perl interpreter you have (I'd guess C:\cygwin\bin\perl.exe[2]). Secondly, you might be missing the login environment, so you might wish to create a perl.bat file that does a c:\cygwin\bin\bash --login /usr/bin/perl %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 and use that instead (beware of directory changes). Alternatively, if you want to use the #! line, you could associate .pl files with c:\cygwin\bin\bash -c... In the end, it might be less trouble to just run Cygwin apache. Igor [1] You missed the ! in your examples... ;-) [2] /usr/bin is a mount, and thus is not visible to non-Cygwin programs. C:\cygwin\usr\bin should be empty. On Sat, 21 Jun 2003, Ling F.

Questions about Cygwin's jar command
A few updates to Cygwin ago (both at work and home), I noticed that there is now a jar executable in /usr/bin. I see from the -V option that it is something called fastjar. When I use it for viewing jar contents, it works just as well as the jar from my Java distribution. However, when I use it to extract files from a jar, it often fails after extracting the first couple of files (I can't remember the error messages right now). I end up having to manually specify the path to the jar in my Java distribution, or use Winzip. Short of fixing these problems in the Cygwin jar, what's the correct way to remove it? It doesn't appear to be in a separate Cygwin package, so I guess I can't use Cygwin setup to uninstall it. I tried removing /usr/bin/jar, but rm says No such file or directory. If it matters, I'm on Cygwin 1.3.14 at home, and a newer release at work. I see this problem in both places. -- === David M.

Re: Bourne Shell Programming on Windows
TAM, Cygwin includes ash, BASH and pdksh (as well as zsh and tcsh), so the answer is pretty much yes, though with BASH you might want to investigate its Bourne shell compatibility mode. I'm unfamiliar with any details of pdksh's Bourne compatibility, but it should be pretty close or perhaps have a Bourne shell compatibility mode as BASH does.

Assuming one only wanted the basic bourne shell, wouldn't ash (/bin/sh) be the best choice (smallest .exe, least overhead, and fastest load time).

unexpected behavior: setup v2.340.2.5

Problem is that it deselected all of the regular versions that needed updating. I would have expected to see the list of software I wasn't current on + any beta versions of the product -- since if I wanna think I'm running 'cutting (occasionally bleeding) edge', I'd like to think that selecting beta has the latest SW installed for everything -- including test betas. I can see an interpretation that selecting 'beta' would *only* show beta' products, but I would think upgrading to 'beta' but not having the current released products would be an untested/unreliable state. I.e. it seems it would be undesirable to install beta's without also having the rest of one's distro being current. ?? -linda -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

If you mean packages installed when you press the Exp radio button in setup, then that's how it works. You pick Exp to install any experimental versions of software that you already have installed or decide you want to install. You select Curr for updating everything else. They're mutually exclusive. Practically, if you want to update your system to all the latest plus the experimental versions, update to the Curr list and then rerun setup and update to the Exp list.

Re: cygwin and the rest of the Windows
Ling, I'm sorry, we all make mistakes. The one I made was omitting the -c flag to bash. Another was missing the quotes. So, your perl.bat should contain c:\cygwin\bin\bash --login -c /usr/bin/perl %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 This was enough to run scripts from the command line for me (make sure you specify the path explicitly, as the --login flag will execute /etc/profile, which will change to your home directory). You may also need to call cygpath.exe, since you'll be getting the Win32 pathname of the script, I think... For the shell files, yes, I think c:\cygwin\bin\bash --login should be enough (but again, check that). You will be able to access any directory on your C: drive using the /cygdrive/c/ syntax. Also, if you use Cygwin perl, you should be using POSIX paths internally. However, you may receive Win32 paths from Apache, in which case you'll need to use cygpath to convert them to POSIX.

Zhang wrote: Let me re-cap what you just said: create a perl.bat with line: c:\cygwin\bin\bash --login /usr/bin/perl %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 which will work as my perl interpreter... and associate my .pl files with this perl.bat if I want to use shell script as well, then I suppose I would need to associate my .sh files with c:\cygwin\bin\bash --login...is this correct??? so when I do my programming, I should keep in mind that I only have the cygwin filesystem to access right? so if I want to point to a file /home/admin/foo, I would use /home/admin/foo, and not c:\cygwin\home\admin\foo. Is this correct??? Ling, Well, technically, you'll have to do a bit more than that. First off, the #![1] line will not be recognized by Windows. Thus, you'll need to associate the .pl extension *in Windows Explorer* with whatever perl interpreter you have (I'd guess C:\cygwin\bin\perl.exe[2]). Secondly, you might be missing the login environment, so you might wish to create a perl.bat file that does a c:\cygwin\bin\bash --login /usr/bin/perl %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 and use that instead (beware of directory changes). Alternatively, if you want to use the #! line, you could associate .pl files with c:\cygwin\bin\bash -c... In the end, it might be less trouble to just run Cygwin apache. Igor [1] You missed the ! in your examples... ;-) [2] /usr/bin is a mount, and thus is not visible to non-Cygwin programs. C:\cygwin\usr\bin should be empty. On Sat, 21 Jun 2003, Ling F.

Re: cygrunsrv won't start apache
Hi: /var/logs/cygwin_apache.log is empty and the event log has nothing either... what is interesting is that search the web for this problem yield that some peole has the problem with sshd due a access privilege to the \cygwin, \cygwin\var, \cygwin\var\log...but my sshd is runnin' just fine...so that kind of run out the privilege problem because I use the same user SYSTEM:Administrators for both! any more hints? thanx --- Igor Pechtchanski [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Sat, 21 Jun 2003, Ling F.

Re: cygrunsrv won't start apache
I finally figured out the problem... I ran the service a user1...so it created a file /var/log/httpd.log under user1...

Re: cygwin and the rest of the Windows
Matthew (Ling?), In your case 1, it looks like you ran that command from bash. It's pretty obvious why it didn't work - bash needs POSIX paths. You had unquoted spaces, which bash interpreted as argument separators, and it also interpreted backslashes as escapes. You should have run that command from a cmd prompt. I also warned you that the name of the script will be passed in Win32 form, and you'd need to use cygpath to convert it to POSIX. The file that worked for me (I actually created one that works this time) was: @echo off c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe --login -c /usr/bin/perl `/bin/cygpath -u '%1'` You can add similar conversions for %2..%9, but I don't think they're necessary in your particular case (i.e., a file handler for the .pl extension). You may not need the --login - try running without it, that will keep you in the same directory. Oh, and the '#!' line would be ignored in this case, and the dispatch will be done by Windows Explorer based solely on the .pl extension. As for case 2, you might have to play similar games, but in the association mechanism. Something like c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -c `cygpath -u '%s'` (I don't have the exact incantation, you may need to read up on the Windows Explorer mechanism for this). Case 3 is actually a subcase of 1 - simply associate the .pl file with perl.bat, and you should be able to run it (as long as perl.bat is correct). You might wish to keep the @echo off out of the .bat file while you're debugging it, to know exactly what parameters bash gets. Igor On Sun, 22 Jun 2003, Ling F.

Re: win32 dia and HOME=/usr/bin/%USERPROFILE% fix
Brian Koehmstedt [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in
news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:
I had the problem of bash starting up with the home directory being
/usr/bin/%USERPROFILE%.
I searched the mailing list and came up with a January thread on the
issue, which informed me that the problem was due to the win32 dia
installer creating a Windows environment HOME variable that superceded
bash's normal HOME.
OK, glad you found a solution. I have no idea what dia is (sometimes I
wonder a bit if people posting to Cygwin have any idea how much software is
available for _any_ OS (e.g., GNU/Linux), let alone MS Windos, and how
unlikely it is that their interests and pursuits coincide with those of
other regular readers...), but if it sets a HOME variable in the Windows
environment, then that would indeed be where Cygwin starts the user,
instead of under Cygwin's (POSIX-style hierarchy) /home{USER} dir.
Come to think of it, I do know what dia is, it is an Open Source drawing
and diagramming tool.
But I have to point out for posteriors ... oops, I mean for *posterity*,
that this isn't a BUG in Cygwin, this is a FEATURE. I personally *want*
Cygwin to honor my setting of $HOME (%HOME%) because I keep my user dir
files outside the Cygwin fs hierarchy (makes my life easier if I decide a
total wipe-and-reinstall of my Cygwin installation is necessary). Also, I
may want some other, non-Cygwin software to be able to use a HOME dir that
Cygwin knows about too.
Edit the cygwin.bat file and put set HOME= somewhere in it. This
unsets the Windows HOME environment variable and Cygwin/bash starts up
with the correct HOME environment variable.
To wrap up, I have to challenge this erronious understanding. Bash's
correct HOME directory is what you TELL it is HOME unless you don't
really mean it. Unlike some cough Microsoft cough software systems,
Cygwin's BASH (or any BASH) doesn't assume it knows better than the user.
