[ITP] gd: A graphics library for fast image creation
Hi I would like to contribute and maintain the gd package: * http://www.boutell.com/gd/ (Homepage) * http://www.boutell.com/gd/http/ (Download location) My goal is to contribute the gnuplot package * http://gnuplot.info/ which uses the gd library.

It's the same group from the Windows point of view so no problems from that side. It's basically just another name and gid for the same user. Exim can be quite picky about permissions.

Actually it works just fine, and both 544 and 0 appear in id. Patting myself on the back :) I have one extra comment: Cygwin introduces a number of security holes, which I have started to plug. The fixes to the biggest ones (PROCESS_DUP_HANDLE) seem to be stalled, and there are still a number of other patches to come. By introducing the root user on 2003 we are undoing positive steps taken by MS. We should warn the user of the current privilege escalation risk. Pierre

I've created a create-root script to be put under /usr/sbin for review.
It's basically taken from the relevant part of the latest ssh-host-config.
It doesn't only create a user root in the SAM, it also modifies /etc/passwd
and /etc/group appropriately. The script is attached. Please give it a
shot.
Another question is this:
Should we actually depend on creating an NT account called root?
This might be already in use by a bunch of users and sysadmins just
for fun. Probably we do more often collide with that than we like.
What about using a less common name like, say cygwin_root or
cygsrv_root or so.

I'm ready to send an announcement when it appears on the mirrors. Excerpts from the README: What has changed since opengl-1.1.0-6 - gl.h and glu.h have been withdrawn from the package as they are now part of the w32api package. The w32api package is now required. GLUT has been upgraded from 3.7.3 to 3.7.6 . Man pages are now included in usr/share/man/man3 . GLUI and GLUIX are now compiled for use with g++ 3.3.1 . Documentation has been moved to usr/share/doc/opengl-1.1.0 . Examples are provided in usr/share/doc/opengl-1.1.0/GLUIexamples and usr/share/doc/opengl-1.1.0/GLUTexamples . When will there be an opengl-1.2 or opengl-1.3 or opengl-1.4 package ? -- When Microsoft will provide an opengl32.dll for OpenGL version 1.2, 1.3, or 1.4 . Sadly, that probably means never. But if you have up-to- date graphic-card drivers that support those version of OpenGL, you can load 1.2+ functions dynamically. Look in an OpenGL forum, such as: http://www.opengl.org/discussion_boards/cgi_directory/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topicsforum=OpenGL+coding:+beginnersnumber=2DaysPrune=20LastLogin= to learn how to do it.

Re: gcc branch for cygwin?
I'm going to create a 3.3.2 branch for gcc, ok? Danny could you do your magic to the branch? Or would it make better sense to just merge the changes from 3.3.1 - 3.3.2 into the current branch? I think the latter might be safer. My local version has some mingw-specific anon-mmap stuff for garbage collection (based on Zack Weinbergs's little testcase of about 2 years ago).

produce { and } characters by pressing Alt Gr + one of the above keys.

Console login does not display anymore only from one laptop
Hello, Cygwin is installed on several computer. I. On all the computers I can get a Xwindow console login to my Solaris server typing: /usr/X11R6/bin/Xwin.exe :0 -query ipaddressofthesolarisserver1 II. On one machine, I do not get the console login (I only get the big black screen of the Cygwin/XFree window with the cursor indicating that the task of getting the console login is processing). II.1 However, it used to work on this machine. II.2 On this machine, I can still get the console login when I try to reach an other solaris server i.e typing: /usr/X11R6/bin/Xwin.exe :0 -query ipaddressofthesolarisserver2 III. Any ideas a) a daemon still running? b) Firewall? (I have stopped my private firewall and rebooted my laptop) c) a config file (they have not been modified and it used to work) d) too many parallel sessions?

Re: Updated: XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-22
Hi all, and thanks for the ideas. Actually, I previously had problems with extraneous newlines from keyboard and somebody suggested 'xset r off', which was still there in my startup script. It didn't bother me with 4.3.0-21 but disabled the repeat with 4.3.0-22. Now I just removed xset from my startup, and repeat works OK. Well, I still sometimes get extraneous newlines also with 4.3.0-22, but fortunately not so much. Cheers, Tuli keyboard repeat does not work anymore with this new update. I think it worked with the previous (4.3.0-21) release. Any ideas? The command 'xset r on' should enable auto-repeat on the X Window layer. xset can set auto-repeat parameters in detail (please see 'man xset').

Re: running out of memory
Hi Armin, This is a known problem with the cygwin layer, currently efforts are underway to exactly define where the problem resides, however it seems when processes are threaded and sockets are used in the process, in some instances when the socket is closed the cygwin layer doesn't pass the close onto the winsock, hence the socket as a descriptor (win32 handle) remains. This causes the following: 1. Win32 Handles not being freed up 2. Virtual and Swap memory not being freed up You may want to try installing the latest cygwin1.dll as of 10th Nov from the snapshots section. Some aspects of the problem have been resolved, this may remedy your current problem.

Re: exim with embedded perl v5.8.2 broken
I don't know why, but the first mails didn't make it through onto the list, but now I subscribed, so this one should make it. I attached the output of strace. Perhaps anybody can see where the problem is. I'm still clueless. And yes, perl.o was indeed recompiled when I rebuilt exim. I even removed the compiler optimization flag, but that didn't help neither. If more info is needed to get this beast going, please let me know. Thanks, Patrick Pierre A.

Re: Problem reading from COM1
Hello Arash, As I understood it must be possible to do a cat and redirect de stdin from COM1. cat com1 I have tried to open de device and read from it. And tried de example code on the web page.

RE: cygwin too slow
Hi, I run Cygwin under Win2K and find it lightening fast most of the time. Maybe the slowness you're experiencing is not down to cygwin itself, but the machine generally and Win2K's use of resources specifically. General advice for running under Win2K might help here - at least worth a try first - as would some idea of how other things run on this box. It might be of some help to know what spec of box you are running Win2K on. Something like a 350 MHz Duron or Celeron with only 128 Mb memory will be easily overloaded. A 1 GHz or above Pentium or Athlon with 512 Mb memory should handle most tasks in its stride. I would suggest: * Try and remove as much of the surplus Windoze paraphernalia as you dare: wallpaper, screen savers, extra fonts - they all use a static amount of resource and contribute very little other than eye candy (a Windoze speciality). * Have a look at what services are running on your machine, and stop / disable things which aren't needed. There's heaps of info out there on the web as to what each service does. * If you have Micro$oft Office on the machine as well, disable things like 'findfast' and any other indexing service unless you really cannot live without them. * Try making some use of Win2K's performance monitor, or see what you can download off the web, to investigate any bottlenecks on the machine. Remember these too use some resource and will probably worsen the problem. * It would be useful to know what other signs the machine shows. For example: is there much hard drive activity during the delays ? Hope the above is of some use to you, with some more info we might be able to tackle the problem more specifically.

I'm running so few applications at the moment that there is close to 300 MB still free Memory left. I'm looking into your other points, but in the meantime thought just provide this info too.

RE: cygwin too slow
Hi Koundinya, At that sort of spec, there's no way you are running out of system resources. This infers that it is most likely a storage problem: either hard drive (see 'activity' light) or network (enable network icon in taskbar and watch it). Probably a good idea to check that the paging file has been set up sensibly, but that shouldn't make much difference with the figures you've given. If asked, I'd suggest about a 1 Gb static paging file about right for that spec of system - but it doesn't look like swapping/paging is your problem here.

1.5.5-1 command substitution hangs (0% cpu) on XP
I have seen a number of references to this problem, but none of the fixes seems to work. I have used cygwin on many systems and not had this problem. Basically any form of command substitution hangs with 0% cpu usage. Usually after a fresh reboot, the problem will not occur for the first couple times I do it and then once the first command substitution hangs, none of them work again until a reboot. Simple commands such as Echo `echo hi` Or echo `date` Or The same using $(date), etc. Have the same results as the post install scripts. On this computer the setup has never completely worked always stopping on the post install scripts. I can see the sh.exe processes in the task manager and have to kill them off. As I do this the progress meter of setup will continue until I have killed all of the locked sh processes and the setup finally finishes. I have tried * the recent version of bash that was offered here * giving everyone full rights to cygwin and the entire c drive. * setting USER and HOME * making sure there are no spaces in either * various settings for CYGWIN (thought I had it there after a reboot). Now my CYGWIN is just: ntsec here is my bash-2.05b$ uname -a CYGWIN_NT-5.1 Consultant01 1.5.5(0.94/3/2) 2003-09-20 16:31 i686 unknown unknown Cygwin And my cygcheck -svr is attached. The hang script hangs with both versions of bash (although not the first time or two after the fresh reboot). I'm not sure what to try next. If anyone can point me to a document that might help, or if you have any suggestions to try or some more information I can provide, it would be greatly appreciated. And I apologize for having to ask for help on what I am sure is a EBCAC. I have never had this problem before. Also important to note: I think everything was working fine until the XP downloaded and installed some update it needed. But it is too late to verify that. I have deleted cygwin and reinstalled it several times (including removing the regedit entries.

He's sort of right in that often, there's a mysterious wait of a second or two, even on a completely unloaded system, before the process starts running. I suspect it has something to do with our flaky network (we're in a workgroup without a primary WINS server or a domain controller). Even if there are no network drives in the path, I suspect that things like looking up the local host name will also be slow if there are subtle network problems like this, and can cause this delay on startup.. -- 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/

Anyway, why it worked on plain Windows and Linux is another
story. I don't have any other firewalls enabled.
fhandler_socket::close() tries to circumvent problems with unexpected
data loss which can occur, if an application exits without having
waited for the closesocket() call being successful. The problem with
the latter is, that there's no way to find out. Therefore Cygwin
lingers on closesocket(), even with non-blocking sockets. I don't
know if that helps but you could try to build a Cygwin DLL which only
lingers if shutdown hasn't been called. I tried it with ssh and it
seems at least not to disturb ssh operation. Patch below.

cygwin 1.5.3: /bin/mv dir dir results in recursive-loop copy
Please note: I'm cross-posting to both cygwin and fileutils lists. Sorry for any inconvenience. I had a directory containing some source files. I wanted to create a subdirectory src, and put the files in there. Being lazy, I just did: mkdir src mv * src I do this sort of thing often on various linux platforms without a problem - the files will get moved, and an error will be displayed about the source file: -apc·sme60build[~/tmp/mvtest]$ touch blah blah2 -apc·sme60build[~/tmp/mvtest]$ ls blah blah2 -apc·sme60build[~/tmp/mvtest]$ mkdir src -apc·sme60build[~/tmp/mvtest]$ mv * src mv: cannot move `src' to a subdirectory of itself, `src/src' -apc·sme60build[~/tmp/mvtest]$ echo $? 1 -apc·sme60build[~/tmp/mvtest]$ find . ./src ./src/blah ./src/blah2 in cygwin 1.5.3, I got the following error after a moment: mv: cannot create directory `src/src/src/src/src/src/src [...] /src': Invalid argument I think it is the MAX_PATH=256 limitation that finally brings this to a halt. Each of the subdirectories contains all the source files and a src directory. Running mv --version shows: mv (fileutils) 4.1 ... I've attached a cygcheck.out file for more details. I'm not on the cygwin list, so I'm probably not going to follow this thread. I just thought I'd report this in case it is still an outstanding but that needs fixing. cheers, Tony Cygwin Win95/NT Configuration Diagnostics Current System Time: Wed Nov 12 10:11:51 2003 Windows 2000 Professional Ver 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 4 Path: C:\cygwin\usr\local\bin C:\cygwin\bin C:\cygwin\bin C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin c:\Perl\bin\ c:\WINNT\system32 c:\WINNT c:\WINNT\System32\Wbem c:\Program Files\Rational\ClearCase\bin c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\Tools\WinNT c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\MSDev98\Bin c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\Tools c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\bin c:\j2sdk1.4.2_01\bin Output from C:\cygwin\bin\id.exe (nontsec) UID: 18598(claytont) GID: 10513(mkgroup-l-d) 10513(mkgroup-l-d) Output from C:\cygwin\bin\id.exe (ntsec) UID: 18598(claytont) GID: 10513(mkgroup-l-d) 544(Administrators) 545(Users) 10513(mkgroup-l-d) SysDir: C:\WINNT\system32 WinDir: C:\WINNT HOME = `m:\' MAKE_MODE = `unix' PWD = `/cygdrive/h/win32/configdb/src' USER = `claytont' ALLUSERSPROFILE = `C:\Documents and Settings\All Users' APPDATA = `C:\Documents and Settings\claytont\Application Data' CLEARCASE_PRIMARY_GROUP = `ccusers' COMMONPROGRAMFILES = `C:\Program Files\Common Files' COMPUTERNAME = `APC-WIN2K' COMSPEC = `C:\WINNT\system32\cmd.exe' CVS_RSH = `/bin/ssh' HOMEDRIVE = `M:' HOMEPATH = `\' HOMESHARE = `\\ottntd09\claytont$' HOSTNAME = `apc-win2k' INCLUDE = `C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\atl\include;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\mfc\include;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\include' INFOPATH = `/usr/local/info:/usr/info:/usr/share/info:/usr/autotool/devel/info:/usr/autotool/stable/info:' LIB = `C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\mfc\lib;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\lib' LOGONSERVER = `\\NANT01' MANPATH = `/usr/local/man:/usr/man:/usr/share/man:/usr/autotool/devel/man::/usr/ssl/man' MSDEVDIR = `C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\MSDev98' NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS = `1' OLDPWD = `/cygdrive/h/win32/configdb/src/src' OS2LIBPATH = `C:\WINNT\system32\os2\dll;' OS = `Windows_NT' PATHEXT = `.COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WSF;.WSH' PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE = `x86' PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER = `x86 Family 15 Model 2 Stepping 7, GenuineIntel' PROCESSOR_LEVEL = `15' PROCESSOR_REVISION = `0207' PROGRAMFILES = `C:\Program Files' PROMPT = `$P$G' PS1 = `\[\033]0;\w\007 [EMAIL PROTECTED] \[\033[33m\w\033[0m\] $ ' SHLVL = `1' SYSTEMDRIVE = `C:' SYSTEMROOT = `C:\WINNT' TEMP = `c:\DOCUME~1\claytont\LOCALS~1\Temp' TERM = `cygwin' TMP = `c:\DOCUME~1\claytont\LOCALS~1\Temp' USERDOMAIN = `MITEL-NA' USERNAME = `claytont' USERPROFILE = `C:\Documents and Settings\claytont' WINDIR = `C:\WINNT' _ = `/usr/bin/cygcheck.exe' HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\Program Options HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2 (default) = `/cygdrive' cygdrive flags = 0x0022 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/ (default) = `C:\cygwin' flags = 0x000a HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/usr/bin (default) = `C:\cygwin/bin' flags = 0x000a HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/usr/lib (default) = `C:\cygwin/lib' flags = 0x000a

Cannot read: No space left on device accessing DDS3 drive on W2K
Problem Description: I have a tape archive on a DDS3 tape created under GNU/Linux 2.2.18. The tape was created with a blocksize of 512 and IS accessible and usable on the linux machine. On the W2K machine using Cygwin, I get the following error when trying to list the contents of the tape: $ tar tvf /dev/st0 tar: /dev/st0: Cannot read: No space left on device tar: At beginning of tape, quitting now tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now The status of the tape, as reported by mt, is as follows: $ mt -f /dev/st0 status 2 tape capacity: 12569987 KB remaining: 12569987 KB current block:0 write protected : no datcompression : on min block size :1 max block size :65536 def block size :16384 cur block size : 512 report setmarks : on I have plenty of space on all mounted drive points so I am unsure what this error means. I have checked google and the cygwin mailing archives and have not found any references to this problem. There is a reference to this error on this list about a year ago (http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-09/msg00877.html) but the problem in this case was a bad tape. I have tested three tapes which are readable on the linux machine but get this error on the Cygwin machine. The tapes in question are DDS3 but the drives in both the Linux and W2K machines are DDS4. I have tried setting the blocksize to numerous values (0, 1, 512, 16384) with the same error each time. I would love to be able to get this to work since it will make transferring data between sites and platforms very convenient. I've tried all I can think of so any assistance is greatly appreciated.

creat and open failing
Hi all,
I got a question wrt to gcc and cygwin. I'm not sure if this is the defined
behaviour, but for some reason, the following code fails. This is a test
program which display the failure.
Running cygwin on windows 2000. Compiling with mingw (no-cygwin option)
Basically, after creat...close... the file is set to read only (check
attributes under windows). This causes the second to fail. On the second run
of the program, the creat fails as well. Any idea why the file is being set to
read only?
Thanks,
Yamin

This isn't the correct argument for creat. The second argument is
the mode, as in what you send to chmod (2).

Problem with Xemacs, cygwin and maybe XP
--Apologies for cross posting (between cygwin and Xemacs lists)--- I have a problem with the interface between Xemacs and cygwin (and maybe XP). I recently updated my cygwin distribution. Now whenever I do anything that starts a new shell on Xemacs the screen fails to refresh. Examples include trying to LaTeX a document using auctex, start R (the statistics program) using ESS, and start a shell using M-x shell. Xemacs still responds to commands (I can quit using C-x C-c), but it loses all ability to write to the screen. For example, if I cover Xemacs with another window, then remove the window, all I see is white space in the area I covered. I'm running Windows XP Xemacs 21.4, april 2001 (the cygwin version installed with the windows installer install now) My cygwin distribution is current as of today. I have two XP computers and I have the same problem on both of them. I have third win2000 computer, but I'm scared to update cygwin on it just to see if the operating system is part of the problem. -- -- 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/

.exe handling change in fileutils-4.1-2
I recently installed a fresh version of Cygwin on a machine and had my
build system fail, due to the previously discussed issue with cp and
.exe files. In a nutshell, touch foo.exe; cp foo bar fails. See:
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-10/msg00989.html
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-09/msg01196.html
I tracked it down to the removal of a block of code between
fileutils-4.1-1 and fileutils-4.1.2:

This code was added in 4.1-1 in the first place, with the rationale
that it's good for make(1) rules. I found this to be true. I've
searched for a comment or rationale for removing this, but I haven't
found a Cygwin-specific ChangeLog for fileutils, nor CVS for it, nor
even an announcement of 4.1-2 (did it ride in with Cygwin 1.5.0-1 or
1.5.1-1?).
Was this an intentional change? If so, what was the intent? The
previous behavior is very useful.

How to add MPI on Cygwin
I was wondering if we can add other compiler packages to Cygwin. I want to install the parallel programming package MPI to cygwin ( which I think is not already included in cygwin). I would really appreciate if somebody can help me out with it.

Re: Samba for Cygwin
I've found this piece of old message when I tried to sort anything about CYGWIN port of Samba. Joshua Jensen wrote: I show all my students Cygwin, and they love it. Their number one question, though, is where is Samba for Cygwin?. Are there aspects of Samba that are particularly problematic when porting to Cygwin? Are there any plans for Samba on Cygwin? Samba does not just allow file sharing from UNIX/Linux box but it also acts as a domain controller for Windows box for network access. I do think that Samba for CYGWIN is worth it since it could simply allow Windows95/98/98SE/ME/NT/2K/XP/2K3 to be the domain controller for other Windows workstation to control network access. Umm...why? Samba allows linux/unix machines to export shares using the SMB/CIFS protocol. smbfs allows linux machines to mount shares from other machines (incl. windows) using SMB/CIFS. Windows ALREADY can export and mount shares using SMB/CIFS. These filesharing tools are *builtin* to windows 9x/Me and NT/2k. Why run samba? That's like asking to port WINE to Cygwin (or port cygwin to WINE). We don't need WINE for CYGWIN since CYGWIN is already on Windows platform. But we need Samba on Windows for working as a domain controller to control network access from various workstation. For marketing purpose, not all versions in NT family are allowed to be domain controller. It's a gee-whiz proof-of-concept, but has no practical value. --Chuck -- Samba for CYGWIN does have practical value; you buy Windows XP/2K for at most US$300 but you buy for Windows Server NT4.0/2K/2K3 for at least US$3,000 and only servers are allowed to be promoted to be domain controllers. With Samba for CYGWIN, we may no longer need server version Windows, do we? Although the I/O is not so good on Windows box as compared with Linux box, it still makes sense that CYGWIN is able to do all Linux can do. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Cheers, Jason PS This is a very old message dated back to 2001 but I still think it's worth it to bring up this issue for all of your concern. http://www.hkucs.org:8080/~tsfu/ -- 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/
