Re: Enabling cygwin.rules/SharedLibFont
Alexander,
Thanks for the update. No rush. It sounds like you have some good ideas.
By the way, David Dawes made a comment to another developer today about
possibly revisiting the design of linking static libraries into the X
Server after 4.4.0 is released. This may be accepted as a general patch
for all platforms if that ends up happening (or at least as a general
mechanism that other platforms could use).

Copy/Paste problems due to speed of xdm login process
Hi Harold, Kensuke, et al The copy/paste is working *much* better after your recent fix. However, I am having a very serious problem with it -- the copy/paste functionality only works if I login *extremely* fast to the XDM. I am a fast typist, but I can only login fast enough about half of the time. About 18 months ago (?) back when we were using xwinclip -- before it was integrated into the main program -- we had to put a sleep into the script to provide enough time for the communication to take place so that xwinclip would function. After xwinclip became integrated into the program, none of this was a problem, until I installed the new Cygwin a couple weeks ago. Can you do something to allow adequate time to login so that the copy/paste will function?

XWinrc and window placement
Hi, Just upgraded my cygwin build for the first time in about a year and I'm loving all the new stuff! A couple questions: 1-What can go in XWinrc? I see a news posting on the cygwin/xfree86 web page that you can put custom commands in the tray icon, but the link to the sample XWinrc file is broken. Could someone post such a file? 2-new xterms always appear in the upper left corner of my screen, all on top of each other. Are there any provisions for 'smart placement' of windows? How would I turn this on? Preferences in XWinrc perhaps?? Thanks for the help, and kudos to all the devs out there. Jeff
Re: no key input
Dai, Very good documentation of your bug. Thanks. One undocumented change I made somewhere between October 4th and October 24th was to include the final version of Ivan Pascal's xc/programs/Xserver/os/WaitFor.c patch: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/xoncygwin/xc/programs/Xserver/os/WaitFor.c?r1=1.2r2=1.3 I suspect that this patch may be involved with the keyboard focus problems, since the problem seems to affect multi-window, rootless, and standard modes of operation. I have not yet merged Kensuke's new rootless code into a release, so I know that his new code has nothing to do with this at all. I have built a special test version of XWin.exe for you to check out. The test version's only difference from 4.3.0-20 is that it reverts the above patch to WaitFor.c. Please run it and report your results: http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/xwin/devel/server/XWin-4.3.0-20-Test01.exe.bz2 Thanks for testing, Harold Dai Itasaka wrote: My startxwin.sh gives me the root window and an xterm window in it.

Cygwin upgrade (including XFree86) - keyboard disabled - FIXED
Today I upgraded my Cygwin installation (Win 2000 Pro) including the X server. When I tried to run X programs (even locally), there was no response to the keyboard. After some experimentation I found that the XKB extension was the problem. Starting XWin with -kb fixed it. FYI, John Dalbec

No smart placement, but you can change the placement of the windows using the geometry flags (generic to almost all X apps, please seek other documentation for this).

But I think you didn't supply all the correct linker flags and got unresolved symbols. So you gave in temporarily and shipped the resulting static libs because mwm worked for you with them? Thus, I thought you expected those static libs to work, at least until we fixed the shared build issue. I can see how you would have thought that. What really happened was that I got confused about whether the build was successful or not, installed it, ran mwm, everything worked, so I shipped it. Then I looked in the package and noticed there were no DLLs. Upon inspecting the build log I saw that the missing link flags were preventing them from being build. Upon adding the missing link flags there were still lots of build problems that had to be resolved in order to build shared libraries. That is where Nicholas and I started working on it and he finished up getting the shared libraries built plus he included bug fixes from lesstif's CVS tree. The new version should work without problems. Ok, understood. Bad news though, maybe. I just tried the binary package you posted, and assuming I didn't make an installation error, I still get those XmeTraitSet errors with our apps. I was in a rush though, and I am just about instantaneously headed out of town for the weekend, so this is just a heads up. I'll restle with it again on Monday. BTW, I still can't reproduct the Close bug because I still can't get mwm to let me move a window, or pop up a menu from the title bar. This is strange because it happens to me with stock lesstif/XFree86 on both NT4 and XP. I guess nobody else see this? Hmm... I still can't reproduce the problem of not being able to move a window. You have tried running with both -rootless and without any flags at all right (which would run in windowed mode. You aren't using -multiwindow when testing mwm, right? That might cause the sort of problem you are describing. I didn't try -rootless. Just: Xwin.exe ; mwm from a bash prompt. With all of the weirdness about bash lately, perhaps you should edit startxwin.bat and try from there instead? Or at least try it from a straight command prompt (after running 'set DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0' and setting the PATH as in startxwin.bat). Just tried your new shared linked mwm with a modified startxwin.bat run from Start-Run. Same results. I'll look again on Monday.

Yes, I think you're right. However, I'd like to ask you to rearrange
your patch a bit. Most (all?) other ioctl methods are using a switch

I think using a switch here would be better as well, even though there's

I traced my problem with configure further down to the basename call in line
58. It does not come back. I am not sure whether /bin/sh has a builtin
basename or it is using the external /usr/bin/basename. The later is working
fine at my bash prompt.
Changing /bin/sh to /bin/bash at the start of the configure script gets me
slightly further. I now get the following output:

[Joerg was of course joking...] B20 is a *very* old version of Cygwin, which is completely unsupported. If you are using setup.exe to install, you will not have B20. I've no idea why Bobby M brought the subject up. Returning to your original problem, it sounds as though you have a broken installation. make, configure et al should run 'out of the box', and you should not need to rebuild make. If you do wish to rebuild make, you should use the Cygwin version of the source tarball (which you can get using setup.exe) as there are in all likelihood Cygwin-specific patches which are not present in the mainline GNU sources.

RE: rsync local dir copy hang - solved for me
From: Bakken, Luke
Sent: Friday, October 24, 2003 4:19 AM
Hi all,
I was attempting to use rsync (v 2.5.6) to copy one local directory to
another on my machine (Windows XP) today when I experienced the dreaded
hang. It copied the files, and hung waiting for a child process to exit.
When I killed that process using taskmgr, the parent exited OK.
The following fixed my particular hang situation:
--- orig_main.c 2003-10-23 19:16:22.5 -0700

int cnt;
while ((waited_pid = waitpid(pid, status, WNOHANG)) == 0) {
- msleep(20);
+ /* msleep(20); */

}
I hope this can be of help to someone!
Luke
Now the following text isn't meant to be rude or some such, so please don't
take offence. This is just yet another of those itchy little points of
mine...
$ man waitpid
No manual entry for waitpid
$ man msleep
No manual entry for msleep
Hmm? Is waitpid() a blocking call or not? WRT WNOHANG it looks like an
unblocking one...
Thus I'm assuming it doesn't block and that msleep() is something internal
to rsync, using usleep() or some such.
If msleep() does more than so, I would guess the problem to be inside
msleep().
A general comment: Given what I've written above the result of the patch is
called busy waiting and is a *hard* blow against all other software that
is running at the same time.
If the loop exit condition appears late the machine running the above
code will experience jerkyness and other ill effects - at the extreme but
still likely level there might even be disturbances of *vital* system
functions (e.g. related to time critical tasks).
The bottom point: *don't do that* ;-)
i.e. leave the msleep() call there. This is a simple - yet effective - way
to avoid ill effects of a tight loop.

1.5.1: can't open files beginning with ...
I have a file on my PC called ...foo.txt. cygwin has a problem with this file: $ ls -a . .. ...foo.txt cygcheck.out $ ls -al /dev/null ls: ...foo.txt: No such file or directory $ cygwin also has a problem making similarly named files: $ touch ...foo2.txt touch: creating `...foo2.txt': No such file or directory Windows Explorer also doesn't like to make files whose names begin with 3 dots, but Windows itself is fine with them. The following Perl one-liner makes the file if you run it in the (native Windows) ActiveState Perl: open(FP, ...foo3.txt) or die $!; But the cygwin perl complains: No such file or directory at 3dots.pl line 1.. I can also create these '3 dot' files in a native Win32 Emacs, but not in the cygwin Emacs. Even a Windows 'DOS prompt' (cmd.exe) is able to make it: C:\echo foo ...foo3.txt C:\ I'm not sure how to tell you what version of cygwin this is, but the 'DLL version' is 1.5.5 if that's what you need to know.

Hi!
I just unpacked the original GNU make sources and now am unsure about how
to build this thing. Calling './configure' does not give any output on
the shell. Is there any other way for GNU make?
I traced my problem with configure further down to the basename call in
line 58. It does not come back. I am not sure whether /bin/sh has a builtin
basename or it is using the external /usr/bin/basename. The later is
working fine at my bash prompt.
After having no luck with my local machine having XP and some patches
installed locally I switched to our VmWare server and grabbed a copy of the
pure XP master without any patches. Then I installed current CygWin from
scratch and what a wonder - it works now.
So now I am not sure whether my CygWin setup is broken (less probabilistic) or
whether my Win XP setup is broken (more probabilistic).
Changing /bin/sh to /bin/bash at the start of the configure script gets me
slightly further. I now get the following output:
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... ./configure: fork: Resource
temporarily unavailable
and here again make seems to hang ...
I am going to try it without configure and make ... :-(

Re: Compiling errors with '-mno-cygin' option on Cygwin
Hello everyone, Is there any way I can call an application(a C application using embedded Perl) created on Cygwin from Windows(C++, APIs) environment? Any pointers would be appreciated. Thank you. Paul On Thu, 23 Oct 2003, Igor Pechtchanski wrote: Any DLL that comes with the Cygwin perl is going to depend on cygwin1.dll. Same goes for any DLL you build without -mno-cygwin. However, if you call these DLLs from Visual Basic, or use -mno-cygwin when compiling, you'll end up with the dependence on both msvcrt.dll (because of VB/-mno-cygwin) *and* cygwin1.dll (because of the perl DLLs), and that's an explosive combination. If you really need to use Perl with Visual Basic, you might consider a Windows-only version of Perl, e.g. ActiveState, and use the DLLs and headers from that distribution in your -mno-cygwin build. However, be aware that this puts you completely outside of the realm of Cygwin, and any support you get for this will have to come from some other forum.

It doesn't supply all of POSIX emulation, and it's very likely that some of the headers (and system calls) aren't available in it. You will most likely have to implement a lot of the functionality using Windows native calls (e.g. winsock, etc). It also looks like you're pulling in the Cygwin versions of perl headers - while not an error in itself, this might be a warning flag, since Cygwin and MinGW runtimes usually don't mix well.

Hello Incidentally, I am working on a trivial cleanup patch to fix: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-10/msg00708.html I just haven't had time to test it thoroughly yet. I have no idea about this person's second random hang problem. It wasn't very eloquently described. It is a good news that you are working on patch to fix it. It is very easy to test it. I try to connect 2 PC thru serial line and run on first PC program that permanently send data thru serial line to second PC.. When I try to call function tcflush at Windows98 on second PC program hangs. I think that this random hangs problem is closely connected to problem above (with full serial buffer).

RE: rsync local dir copy hang - solved for me
From: Mark Thornton Sent: Friday, October 24, 2003 12:13 PM Mark, please - even if your repliy might seem a bit personal - do keep replies on the list. There might be some little spark, that makes others have a fire lit (i.e. get a bright idea). The bottom point: *don't do that* ;-) i.e. leave the msleep() call there. This is a simple - yet effective - way to avoid ill effects of a tight loop. However it remains true that there is some sort of bug in rsync's thread handling (or perhaps in cygwin's thread library). Hmmm... I think I read something about a similiar thing, having the word pthreads in the subject. Might this be related? For some a cure for this, even using busy waiting, may be preferable to the bug. Mark Thornton For the time beeing, yes it might be preferable - but not as a long time solution.

Hmm? Is waitpid() a blocking call or not? WRT WNOHANG it looks like an unblocking one... Yep. Thus I'm assuming it doesn't block and that msleep() is something internal to rsync, using usleep() or some such. It uses select(). When I used strace on a non-modified version of rsync to watch where it hung, here's the last bit of output I saw: 18 9449430 [main] rsync 3260 stopped_or_terminated: considering pid 3276 18 9449448 [main] rsync 3260 checkstate: returning -1 18 9449466 [main] rsync 3260 proc_subproc: waiting thread found no children 20 9449486 [main] rsync 3260 proc_subproc: finished processing terminated/stopped child 18 9449504 [main] rsync 3260 proc_subproc: returning 1 21 9449525 [main] rsync 3260 wait4: 0 = WaitForSingleObject (...) 19 9449544 [main] rsync 3260 wait4: intpid 3276, status 0x22FE28, w-status 0, options 1, res 0 20 9449564 [main] rsync 3260 cygwin_select: 0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x22FDC0 19 9449583 [main] rsync 3260 cygwin_select: to-tv_sec 0, to-tv_usec 2, ms 20 18 9449601 [main] rsync 3260 cygwin_select: sel.always_ready 0 It never got past cygwin_select(). of the patch is called busy waiting and is a *hard* blow against all other software that is running at the same time. But, it's OK for me because a) It fixes the problem b) It doesn't wait long at all c) It doesn't appear to tie up resources. If the loop exit condition appears late the machine running the above code will experience jerkyness and other ill effects - at the extreme but still likely level there might even be disturbances of *vital* system functions (e.g. related to time critical tasks). Nope, I haven't seen any of this. It could happen, I'm sure. The bottom point: *don't do that* ;-) i.e. leave the msleep() call there. If I leave msleep there, it hangs every time. So I'm taking it out. Now, this fixes one hang at one time, but not others. For instance, if there is nothing to do since the sources and targets are in sync, it'll hang. If the source dir doesn't exist, it still hangs. I'm now going to see if I can isolate the heart of the problem with a simple program that forks and sleeps in the same fashion as with rsync.

Re: Strange Cygwin issue
Dylan,
If you followed that thread to the end, it was suggested that the program
itself was buggy and treated the - as a parameter separator, IIRC.
As for your case, that's the expected behavior. Windows programs get the
quotes surrounding quoted arguments -- try it from cmd.exe with this
simple program:
#include stdio.h
#ifdef WIN
#include windows.h
int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE inst, HINSTANCE pinst, LPSTR cmdline, int show) {
printf (%s\n, cmdline);
}
#else
int main(int ac, char *av[]) {
int i;
for (i = 0; i ac; i++)
printf (%s|, av[i]);
printf (\n);
return 0;
}
#endif
At a guess, the only way you can get around it is by writing your own
command line parsing routines... Sorry.

Re: Compiling errors with '-mno-cygin' option on Cygwin

Unless you're by some chance calling the gcj version of Java (which is unsupported in any case), you're not likely to get any support from the Cygwin community.

Re: Strange characters
Hi Igor, Using alias to less did not work. I can see the difference what you suggested using color ls: $ /bin/ls -l --color | /bin/less -r compared to $ /bin/ls -l --color | /bin/less Defining $PAGER to less aliased or explicitly to /bin/less -r does not resolve either.

ssh-host-config: mkpasswd -l -u sshd; should it be -d on domain controller?
consider:
bash-2.05b$ uname -r; grep mkpasswd /bin/ssh-host-config
1.5.5(0.94/3/2)
mkpasswd -l -u sshd | sed -e 's/bash$/false/' ${SYSCONFDIR}/passwd
Does mkpasswd -l make any sense on a domain controller?
On an NT domain controller I tested
mkpasswd -d -u sshd | sed -e 's/bash$/false/' /etc/passwd
and ssh localhost worked fine after stopping and starting sshd. The '-d
option creates a user entry that apparently has the same SID, but
different uid offset.
Using only the -d switch on a domain controller would simplify
the cron script I use to automatically rebuild /etc/passwd.

Weird Naim.exe network usage?
I hope this is the right mailing list to address this issue in. I recently installed cygwin on my window xp home edition computer. I started naim. I then proceeded to enter my username, and password. It logged into TOC just fine, and I was typing away with friends. I noticed that for some reason naim.exe was listening on tcp sockets, and not only that but it changes quite frequently while naim.exe is running. So let me just state this again, it is listening on TCP sockets. They are also real because I have confirmed by telneting to them. Nothing is printed or anything, it just sits there. Has anyone experienced naim.exe listening on TCP sockets?

Key-based authentication fails when keys are in Samba directory
I have Cygwin and OpenSSH set up on a number of Win2K machines. Home directories for users are mounted via a FreeBSD-based Samba server named Whistler. SSH to the Win2K machines works without any problems *except* for key-based authentication where the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file is in a Samba-mounted home directory. I found email from Brian Hayward (http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2003-10/msg00479.html) from a couple of weeks ago, which seems pretty similar. However, when I try the solution (running setfacl -m u:system:r-- ~ ~/.ssh ~/.ssh/authorized_keys, where ~ is a Samba-mounted home directory), I get an error message that says Function not implemented. I don't get this error message when I try it on a local home directoy, like /home/administrator. (I've also tried appending keys in authorized_keys2 to authorized_keys, without any more success.) I *have* been able to get key-based authentication to work if I set up a home directory for the user on the Win2K machine. In other words, I change the home directory listed in /etc/passwd from //sambaserver/username to /home/username, create the directory, and copy over the user's .ssh directory. However, at this point they no longer have access to their home directory, so it's less than ideal. And for the record, password-based authentication works without any problem at all. On the Samba server, some home directories are mounted via NFS from other FreeBSD machines via amd, and some are on the machine itself; this doesn't seem to make any difference -- key-based authentication keeps failing. I thought it might be a problem with symlinks (http://www.cygwin.com/faq/faq_4.html#SEC69). To test, I tried setting my home directory in Cygwin's /etc/passwd to a temporary directory on Whistler (one that was not mounted via AMD, and had no symbolic links at all) and copying the .ssh directory in there; it still didn't work.

Re: Key-based authentication fails when keys are in Samba directory
Can an unauthenticated user access //sambaserver/username via Windows? If not, that's the real problem. You'll have to use password authentication unless you change the access. I'd be surprised if your problem is driven by directory/file permission issues anyway, since you have StrictModes turned off. Fiddling with permissions when they aren't being checked isn't going to do much AFAICS.

RE: Limit to length of command line arguments? (was Cygwin/bash: need environment variables 32K)
There are no unusual file names. Everything starts with a consonant.
As an example, in bash
$ echo N* | wc
13332 73218
$ ls N* | wc
bash: /bin/ls.exe: Invalid argument
0 0 0
$ echo i* | wc
1 4 41
$ ls i* | wc
4 4 45
sh behaves the same except for the error message
$ ls N* | wc
ls: error 22
0 0 0
If I give ls an argument that is 32730 characters long, I get the following:
$ ls `gawk 'BEGIN {for (N = 1; N 32730; N++) {printf X}; print
;exit}'`
bash: /bin/ls.exe: Invalid argument
While if I give it an argument 32729 characters long
$ ls `gawk 'BEGIN {for (N = 1; N 32729; N++) {printf X}; print
;exit}'`
[snip]: File or path name too long
So something changes when the command line arguments get too long.

bash: /bin/ls.exe: Invalid argument
There has been a big change my cygwin installation since last
week. I got a new box, upgrading from Win98SE to XP Pro. So
this is a new installation of cygwin, but other than this
line-length problem, everything seems to be working OK
(ignoring minor glitches probably due to various
configuration files getting lost in the transition).
Although I could re-do my scripts to work around this problem
I'd appreciate any help in figuring out what is wrong with my cygwin
installation.
You might have an unusual filename (e.g. starting with a dash) that is
interpreted as argument. Try
$ ls -- *
This tells ls to interpret anything after the double dash as file argument
and not as possible option!
Regards,
Jörg

Re: cygcheck as body or attachment (was RE: rsync hang .... )
I've used Cygwin for several years now, and have read this mailing list for quite some time. When I encountered the rsync problem, I searched mailing lists as well as Google to find the solution, couldn't find a definitive answer, and eventually found one myself that worked, so I thought I'd post it (as many other people had reported similar problems in the archives) in order to help. I almost didn't email the list with this solution because I couldn't remember whether or not to include the output of cygcheck as an attachment or as part of the body. I looked on the mailing list webpage on cygwin.com, and couldn't see any info, so I decided to put it in the body. I should have looked further, but I figured it wouldn't be a big deal. Of course, I chose the wrong way, and got flamed. I think the people I work with would think of me as a nice guy. I hope this comment doesn't get me blocked from the cygwin list ;-) Normally I ignore such things, but I felt compelled because I have seen many other messages with the following content... PLEASE include the generated files 'cygcheck.txt' *as an attachment*, and NOT in the body of the mail message. If you don't believe me visit http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/ and type as an attachment in the search box. I got 2862 hits. This makes me believe you've been subscribed to the mailing list for quite some time, but may not have actually read many messages. I can understand this. It's an active list. So I thought I would help by pointing this out. On the other hand, now I understand the WJM philosophy, because in this case it worked... I now know the right way. You may ask yourself why I bothered replying to this post. We'll you made another minor mistake by adding my address to email distribution list. I obviously read the mailing list and this simply resulted in me getting two copies of the same messages. I hope pointing this out doesn't seem too mean. Imagine if you would have done this to cfg! Anyway, I hope that my simple patch can help someone else in the future, and if the additional body of my message bothered anyone, I apologize. I hope you helped someone too. I'm sure you did. Just ignore the mean people on the list, but use their advice to avoid further meanness.
