Xaw3d rebuild
I am trying to rebuild Xaw3d and I keep getting stuck because something is wrong with LIBRARY_VERSION or something related to it. See log snippet below. Basically the lib keeps getting created as libXaw3d-.dll.a and the DLL as cygXaw3d-.dll because the version is blank. I have tried everything from hard-coding SoRev and SOXAWREV in xc/lib/Xaw3d/Imakefile, to passing LIBRARY_VERSION to make Makefile, etc. I do not understand where sed is pulling the version from. Please help me to figure out what must be done in order to get Xaw3d compiling into the correct library name.

[Fwd: Send loss of focus notification when changing focus to a Windows app?]
Is it possible to tell X that it has lost focus when a Windows app gains focus? ---BeginMessage--- Hi, I'm runnng the WindowMaker that comes with Cygwin XFree with the following options: XWin -nowinkill -multiplemonitors -nodecoraion -rootless -clipboard And I've noticed one small detail: When changing from window to window on X, WindowMaker sems to be able to track who is active who is inactive OK. But when I switch away from an X app to say, Notepad, WindoMaker still seems to think that the last X window that was active is STILL active. Windowmaker is correct in one sense, of course, but more importantly, would it be posible to send a focus-loss notification to WindowMaker when a Windows app gains focus? I don't know how X would handle being told that no one has the focus... Or failing that, maybe it should be told that the hidden root window has the focus, I don't know. The problem is that the way it stands now, when you glance at your screen(s) you have trouble knowing where the input will go if you type something. Will what I type go to what seems to be the currently active X window, or will it go to a Windows app? By looking for the active window, it is hard know. Is there a way to fix this? Any ideas or solutions appreciated. ---End Message---

Possible memory leak problem
I seem to be having a problem, which resembles very closely to a memory leak situation. I'm running Cygwin/Xfree on a Pentium 4 laptop with 512 Megs of memory under Windows XP Professional. After about 4 hours of usage, the computer runs so slowly that the only recourse that I have is to reboot. After the reboot, all is well again for at least another 3 to 4 hours. I am running all the latest versions of the Cygwin and Xfree code. As a test, I used another X-Windows emulator to see if some other code was causing the problem and the slow down problem did not manifest itself. Has anyone else encountered this problem and, if so, what was the fix? My typical usage is 4 to 6 remote sessions on Sun Solaris systems.

Re: Possible memory leak problem
I have not seen such a memory leak. We would need more specific information in order to help you debug it. One thing --- could you check the size of /tmp/XWin.log after an hour or so of running? If it is large (i.e. greater than 10 KiB), then that is likely the problem; tell us which message is repeating in the log and we will fix it or disable it. Other than that, I don't know what you could do to trace this down.

Try cygstart %f for both HTML and PDF, with no helper scripts. ;-)
This will do the path translation automatically and open the application
associated with each of the extensions in Explorer (just like

For people who dont read announcements. It already does that. - If installing from the local directory, possibly only do the MD5 checksum for packages that are actually going to be installed, because it now checks every package whenever it starts. Or at least after an install cycle is complete, allow an option to go back, so the recheck can skipped, or even both these ideas. http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#PTC. Also see below. - That packages directory default. Sometimes setup drops packages from its default, allowing very wierd directory hierarchies indeed, if downloading from somewhere. From bitter experience, I always make sure this particular field ends in packages. I don't get this one at all. What are you trying to say? Hi, i had a bad day yesterday, today I see the little scroll bars between Bin and Src, also the back key at the point it asks for the desktop icon. Also I think my packages confusion was from the older setup, because the newer one doesnt do it now. I apologise to the mailing list for most of the points in my post, which are erroneous. What wasnt happenning though, was that I had setup version 2.249.2.10 installed locally, when I went download from internet, at the ftp://mirror.aarnet.edu.au site, it would install cygwin-1.3.22-1.tar.bz2, which had an old cygwin dll, and not cygwin-1.5.5-1.tar.bz2, which had the new one. The old one would fail with most of the utilities such as ls.exe, with a __getreent failure. When I downloaded setup version 2.340.2.5, it found and downloaded the package with the newer dll, as well as others. I think. In my local cache of packages, I had been using experimental packages, as well as a locally compiled and patched snapshot, so this could have something to do with it. -- __ http://www.linuxmail.org/ Now with e-mail forwarding for only US$5.95/yr Powered by Outblaze -- 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/

Cygwin 1.5.5 Configuration problem
I have tried rtfm, rtffaq, rtfa(rchive), I would appreciate some help if someone could point me in the right direction. I was having problems with man (among other things) not working so I decided to perform a complete uninstall and re-install. I un-installed everything, removed the remaining folder tree and deleted the cygwin entries from the registry (after exporting). I then downloaded almost everything to a local directory, rebooted the pc and ran setup again to install everything I had downloaded to D:\cygwin. I set the HOME environment variable in 2000 to D:\cygwin\home\hughesb, in cygwin this is set to /cygdrive/d/cygwin/home/hughesb When cygwin was started the pwd was /cygdrive/d/usr/bin, not /home/hughesb, 'cd #' then moved pwd to /cygdrive/d/cygwin/home/hughesb (not /home/hughesb). I got around this by creating a .profile with 'cd #' in it, which does not seem ideal. I then set CYGWIN to 'check_case:strict ntea ntsec title', which I used to have. I'm not sure if it's relevant but I also did the following: mkpasswd -cl /etc/passwd mkgroup -l /etc/group mkgroup -d domain /etc/group to get NT security working, I edited the relevant entry in /etc/passwd to refer to my home directory.

I also set USER to HughesB in 2000. I can't find anywhere that I can effect from /cygdrive/d/cygwin to / - what have I missed, please? I am assuming this is a problem with what I have done/not done and not a bug. btw man is still not working but I've deferred that until I hopefully get somewhere with this problem.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: OpenSSH-3.7.1p2-1
I've just updated the version of OpenSSH to 3.7.1p2-1. This is again an official new release, this time mostly a bugfix and security related release. Since the latest Cygwin specific changes are now in the official repository, this Cygwin version is from the vanilla sources again. Official Release Message: Portable OpenSSH 3.7.1p2 has just been released. It will be available from the mirrors listed at http://www.openssh.com/portable.html shortly. Please note that this is a release to address issues in the portable version only. The items mentioned below do not affect the OpenBSD version. OpenSSH is a 100% complete SSH protocol version 1.3, 1.5 and 2.0 implementation and includes sftp client and server support. We would like to thank the OpenSSH community for their continued support to the project, especially those who contributed source and bought T-shirts or posters. We have a new design of T-shirt available, more info on http://www.openbsd.org/tshirts.html#18 For international orders use http://https.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/order and for European orders, use http://https.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/order.eu Security Changes: = Portable OpenSSH version 3.7p1 and 3.7.1p1 contain multiple vulnerabilities in the new PAM authentication code. At least one of these bugs is remotely exploitable (under a non-standard configuration, with privsep disabled). OpenSSH 3.7.1p2 fixes these bugs. Please note that these bugs do not exist in OpenBSD's releases of OpenSSH. Changes since OpenSSH 3.7.1p1: == * This release disables PAM by default. To enable it, set UsePAM yes in sshd_config. Due to complexity, inconsistencies in the specification and differences between vendors' PAM implementations we recommend that PAM be left disabled in sshd_config unless there is a need for its use. Sites using only public key or simple password authentication usually have little need to enable PAM support. * This release now requires zlib 1.1.4 to build correctly. Previous versions have security problems. * Fix compilation for versions of OpenSSL before 0.9.6. Some cipher modes are not supported for older OpenSSL versions. * Fix compilation problems on systems with a missing or lacking inet_ntoa() function. * Workaround problems related to unimplemented or broken setresuid/setreuid functions on several platforms. * Fix compilation on older OpenBSD systems. * Fix handling of password-less authentication (PermitEmptyPasswords=yes) that has not worked since the 3.7p1 release. Checksums: == - MD5 (openssh-3.7.1p2.tar.gz) = 61cf5b059938718308836d00f6764a94 Reporting Bugs: === - please read http://www.openssh.com/report.html and http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/ OpenSSH is brought to you by Markus Friedl, Niels Provos, Theo de Raadt, Kevin Steves, Damien Miller, Ben Lindstrom, Darren Tucker and Tim Rice.

Bill,
Did you install the base-files package? The postinstall script should
have created an /etc/profile for you (by copying it from
/etc/defaults/etc/profile). If it failed, there should be a message in
/var/log/setup.log.full (unless you ran setup after that, in which case
that file will have been overwritten).
Igor
It was a fresh installation so yes I had to install base-files (about the
only thing I didn't install was ghostscript).
I had to change mirrors while downloading to a local folder, but this was
separate - I rebooted and then installed from my local mirror.
I've just looked and I don't have a /etc/defaults folder.
I suppose this means a re-install?
Look at the logs (/var/log/setup.log{,.full}). Did base-files get
installed?

No. It's not in the cygcheck output either. Weird, I selected install for

base-files will not replace your /etc/passwd if you already have one.
Try cp -fp /etc/defaults/etc/profile /etc/profile, and see if that fixes

No. It's not in the cygcheck output either. Weird, I selected install for
'all' in setup and then de-selected ghostscript as I was playing with that
and Redmon at the time, I have no idea how base-files was set to skip
but it was.
I suppose it's mea culpa but I really have no idea how, apologies all, and
thanks for the patience.
I don't know if I should mention it but I've (re-)installed base-files and
man still doesn't work.
Thank you again Igor, for your help.
base-files will not replace your /etc/passwd if you already have one.
s@/etc/passwd@/etc/profile@
Try cp -fp /etc/defaults/etc/profile /etc/profile, and see if that fixes
your man problem.

I'm using GNU Emacs 21.3.1 on Windows2000 (not the cygwin build) I'm using cygwins bash 2.05b.0(13) command as my explicit-shell-command from within emacs and have c:\cygwin\bin in my path. This previously allowed me to use bash as the shell from within emacs. After an cygwin upgrade, this no longer worked. Bash would start, but I could not use any other shell commands (ie. ls) internal bash commands such as 'cd' did seem to work. Changing my explicit-shell-command to be cygwin's sh command works as bash used to. Using eshell also seems to be a viable alternative. I don't subscribe to this list, and am not entirely sure that this is the most appropriate place to submit bugs. If I can provide further information, please contact me directly.

__CYGWIN__ ++ (RE: getuid() and root)
From: Corinna Vinschen SNIP Remove (or better ifdef out) all checks for the root user account. sshd is using the same approach. We don't have a root user concept so far so these test are a bit displaced on Cygwin. Sorry to butt in again... :-P This is just to make things clear up a bit for myself... Current status as I've understood it is; As -mno-cygwin _ISN'T_ used __CYGWIN__ and __CYGWIN32__ both will be #define 'd. Now the big Q: What is the difference between those? (Is it an 1.3.x vs 1.5.x issue?) I'm rigth now testing the bladeenc mp3 encoder under cygwin. It seems to be working well after my efforts. But I've had to ifdef in/out some sections of code. To eventually be able to hand out nice diffs, I need to be clear over any differences here. /Hannu E K Nevalainen, B.Sc.

FYI: bladeenc - fairly easy port.
As I understand there might be issues WRT copyright on mp3-encoding.
There is some wording on this at the site indicated below.
Therefore I have to ask;
Will it be a to high risk to include bladeenc in cygwin as a package?
Below you can see that it is LGPL too; would that be a hindrance?

Problem with perl distro?
I have a script that I noticed was giving me problems with the Cygwin version of Perl
when I ran it, but the same script works fine with the AcitveState version of Perl.
The key lines of the main loop look like this:
while (GUIFILE) {
chomp;
if (!$desc and /^(\w+):$/) { # warning line
# ...
} elsif (/^\{$/) {
# ...
} elsif (/^\}$/) {
# ...
} elsif (!$desc and /^?$screen?\.(.+):/) {
# ...
} elsif ($desc and /^\s*id:\s*(\d+)$/) {
# ...
} else {
# ...
}
} # end while GUIFILE
Now, every single time I read in a line, I get this warning
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at ./genguimapdoc.pl line
60, GUIFILE line n.
However, I do NOT get this warning using ActiveState Perl, and the script works fine!
Is this thus a bug in Cygwin's Perl build?

SYNOPSIS ... int setpriority(int which, int who, int prio); ... $ man 2 setpriority No entry for setpriority in section 2 of the manual IMO this is very confusing IF you're not aware of it. I spent some time finding out. FWIW, I don't have manpage for getpriority on my system, and the search of Cygwin packages turned out nothing, so I have no idea which package contains it. That being said, the usual solution for this problem is cd /usr/share/man/man2 ln -s getpriority.2 setpriority.2, which goes into the postinstall script for the package (whatever it is). Right. cygwin doesn't export a [gs]etpriority, so if some package is exporting it, that is... interesting. Also note: http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=man2%2F which shows that no package contains a 'man2/' string. This indicates that the getpriority man page probably didn't come from a standard cygwin package. You're both fully correct; I have fooled myself once again: $ echo $MANPATH /usr/local/man:/usr/man:/usr/share/man:/usr/autotool/devel/man::/usr/ssl/man :/cygdrive/e/Amiga/GG/man $ man -W 2 getpriority /cygdrive/e/Amiga/GG/man/man2/getpriority.2 This is manpages that comes with an old version of geekgadgets (www.geekgadgets.org) - a project that reflects cygwin, but on/for AmigaOS. Conclusion: Remember the above, or remove that last MANPATH-item. ,:-I Then; PRIO_PROCESS mentioned later in the manpage doesn't seem to be defined anywhere in the include files... $ cd /usr/include/ $ grep PRIO_PROCESS * $ Try find /usr/include -type f | xargs grep -H PRIO_PROCESS. If it does find something, it isn't going to be useful. $ find /usr/include -type f | xargs grep -H PRIO_PROCESS $ i.e. nothing... Any pointers on where to find it - or how to bypass this when it gets used in something you wish to build? Neither of you commented on this - which, for me, is a greater concern. I'm not going to say that it is _important_, but I'd like to read some words about it. e.g: Is this a low priority thing, doesn't Win have something that allows an easy implementation, or... Googling on [gs]etpriority turns upp hits in glibc-hacker only. Nothing cygwin related. http://www.cygwin.com/ml/libc-hacker/2002-07/msg00013.html seems to contain a diff on resources.h that adds (removes?) PRIO_PROCESS and friends. Is this a correct change to apply? I'm not sure why we are talking about IBM S390 (!) changes to glibc (!!!) in the cygwin mailing list. Well, I obviously had my eyes more on the fact that there was a patch removing/inserting PRIO_PROCESS into resources.h - not really checking WHERE the google hits came from (as I had typed site:cygwin.com I didn't expect deviations from that). Now I realize that both hits I got was rather irrelevant. In case you don't know it, cygwin.com == sources.redhat.com. The mailing list archives for the cygwin mailing list are mixed with the archives for all of the other mailing lists on sources.redhat.com.

Re: Problem with perl distro?
Igor, $screen was uninitialized. Changing it to 'my $screen = ' eliminates the warnings in the simpler script. But that was only half the problem, try the following, save it in DOS Format with CR/LF line endings and run the script, then save it in Unix Format with LF line endings and run again, see the difference? To work around this feature if you need to `export PERLIO=crlf` when you want to use crlf files. Hmmm, this is ugly...I'll need think about it a little longer now.

procmail not writing mbox file properly?
I just moved to cygwin from debian linux and am having some problems setting up my email. I use mutt, fetchmail, and procmail. procmail writes most of my mail to ~/mbox, my main mbox file. However, I noticed that mutt was not picking up the messages written to ~/mbox by procmail. I set up mutt to poll my pop3 server itself, and when it does this it writes to the mbox file properly. Also, I looked at my old mbox file from my linux machine and I figured out what's wrong: procmail on cygwin is not writing the leading From line for each message. Thus mutt is just ignoring the messages it writes. Note that procmail (the same version, 3.22) *was* writing this line on debian. For example, the first few lines of each message in the mbox file should look like: From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Jul 01 09:15:07 2003 Return-path: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Envelope-to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Delivery-date: Tue, 01 Jul 2003 09:15:07 -0500 But with procmail on cygwin, I'm just getting: Received: from bar.com [168.143.80.100] by localhost with POP3 (fetchmail-6.2.4) for [EMAIL PROTECTED] (single-drop); Tue, 23 Sep 2003 13:49:53 -0500 (CST) Received: from cujo.runbox.com (193.71.199.138) by mail01d.rapidsite.net (RS ver 1.0.86vs) with SMTP id 3-0850523058 for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Tue, 23 Sep 2003 14:50:59 -0400 (EDT) Received: from [10.9.9.15] (helo=odie.runbox.com) by lufsen.runbox.com with esmtp (Exim 4.20) id 1A1sFY-0005RV-Lj for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Tue, 23 Sep 2003 20:51:00 +0200 Received: from mail by odie.runbox.com with local (Exim 4.20) id 1A1sFF-00024v-LY for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Tue, 23 Sep 2003 20:50:41 +0200 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 etc. Namely, it starts right in with the Received: headers, without ever writing the From line. If I just add in a dummy From line copied from another message in the mbox file, mutt can then read the message written by procmail. Anyone know what's going on? -- 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/

Answer: Approximately 20-40% faster in cmd native mode IMO the better compatibility with the other cygwin tools is worth more than the extra speed. This of course reflects that I mostly encode my own LP records, at most one per week. For archiving - and to be able to create CD copies for my personal use. (I see the LP's as collectors items - i.e. I use them as little as possible). Hmm... As I looked for that prebuilt binary I found a DLL version of the encoder. I wonder what difference it would make to have a cygwin frontend based on that... Well, I think I'll let that be a future project. /Hannu E K Nevalainen, B.Sc.

Latest GCC has mbstate_t problem
I'm using cygwin v1.5.5 under Win2K.

cygcheck -s -v -r is attached.
A long time ago (11/7/2002) I reported a problem with GCC 3.2 20020818 that
involved the mbstate_t structure. cgf quickly fixed it back then. It seems
to be back. The following is a simple test case.
#include iostream
#include wchar.h
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout Hello world. endl;
}
Attempt a compile with
g++ -v -Wall Sample.cpp
will result in the following (sorry for the line wrapping)

feature requests for setup
Hi, I thought I would note some desirable features in setup that would save dickheads such as myself much time. - Have setup check with the mirror to see if the setup program itself has been upgraded. For people who dont read announcements. - If installing from the local directory, possibly only do the MD5 checksum for packages that are actually going to be installed, because it now checks every package whenever it starts. Or at least after an install cycle is complete, allow an option to go back, so the recheck can skipped, or even both these ideas. - That packages directory default. Sometimes setup drops packages from its default, allowing very wierd directory hierarchies indeed, if downloading from somewhere. From bitter experience, I always make sure this particular field ends in packages. - Have some of those little popup messages on the title, i.e. b - binary, s-source, after an interval the only b and s I can think of is bachelors and spinsters. resizeable window perhaps. Dont get me wrong, my admiration for setup is boundless, mainly because it is the only thing that can punch through our corporate firewall, besides internet explorer. Be great to have source for it, or at least a cvs grab utility based on it. -- __ http://www.linuxmail.org/ Now with e-mail forwarding for only US$5.95/yr Powered by Outblaze -- 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/
