Minires-0.98-3, a test package ready to upload
This is a new version of 0.98, still test for now. The main change is that the interface to the Windows resolver now correctly supports the new SSHFP dns record type, which is used by ssh. (Windows has an undocumented but sensible way of handling new types). It should replace 0.98-2. Note for Corinna: The latest /etc/default/etc/ssh_config does not contain the VerifyHostKeyDNS option documented in man ssh_config. http://mysite.verizon.net/phumblet/minires-0.98-3/minires-0.98-3.tar.bz2 http://mysite.verizon.net/phumblet/minires-0.98-3/minires-0.98-3-src.tar.bz2 http://mysite.verizon.net/phumblet/minires-0.98-3/setup.hint http://mysite.verizon.net/phumblet/minires-0.98-3/minires-devel/minires-devel-0.98-3.tar.bz2 http://mysite.verizon.net/phumblet/minires-0.98-3/minires-devel/setup.hint Pierre

xwinclip consistently unable to open clipboard
Because of experiencing hangs when using the built-in clipboard support (see other threads), I have switched to running xwinclip.exe separately. It normally works but recently, with the X server having been running for a while, xwinclip died with 'unable to open clipboard'. The full output was UnicodeSupport - Windows NT/2000/XP Unicode clipboard I/O SelectionNotify - Reasserted ownership of ATOM: PRIMARY [above line repeated many times] OpenClipboard () failed: Previously, I've had xwinclip crash but been able to restart it. But now when I try to restart xwinclip it dies immediately: UnicodeSupport - Windows NT/2000/XP Unicode clipboard I/O OpenClipboard () failed: Hmm, I was going to say, this happens every time I run it. But during the course of writing this message I pasted some text from the command prompt window into PuTTY, and that seems to have cured the problem - xwinclip is now chugging away happily. So I just mention this in case it is interesting - sorry that I can't reproduce the problem every time. I am running XFree86-xserv 4.3.0-44 and XFree86-xwinclip 4.3.0-2. -- Ed Avis [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Problems with XDMCP connection
Hallo I've got some Problems with Cygwin using XDMCP. I'm try to connect to an kdm. After caling XWin.exe -query 192.168.220.2 just an X appears and disappears some minutes later.

Mouse cursor is dissapering.
Hi ya all, I have been using Cygwin for the last 2 years and I was happy. A couple of weeks ago I upgrade my workstation to include 3 VGA outputs. All cards have the same resolution and depth and I am able to move a X window from 1 screen to the next. The problem that I am having is the following. As soon as an Xterm (or other X application) shows up then I have full mouse access to that term. I can see my mouse cursor, use it to select text, and copy and past it to the kazoeks? As soon as I move the Term window to another part of the screen, I loose my mouse in the terminal. The mouse cursors and all mouse button actions are gone. I have to restart the Xserver to get my mouse back. I can normally see the mouse but as soon as I move into the Term I loose the cursor. The following data applies to my system: - Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 SP4 - Xfree86-Base 4.3.0-1 - Xfree86-Bin 4.3.0-9 - Mouse driver: logitech 9.78.0.0 - VGA cards: Nvidia Quatro4 200/400nvs Dual head Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 I have included the output from the Xwinrl.log file and my startup script.

RE: Convenient script for starting an XFree86 xterm
FYI - You might want to consider using /usr/X11R6/bin/run.exe (the DOS path being c:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\run) in place of the 1-liner VBScript. Makes things a wee bit cleaner, IMHO. From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Convenient script for starting an XFree86 xterm Date: Mon, 1 Mar 2004 22:37:52 -0800 I've seen some other postings on this subject recently, so I'm submitting this contribution as a potential starting point for others. I have convenient Windows desktop shortcuts to start up a Cygwin/Bash shell window and an RXVT/Bash shell window. I was looking for something similar to start up a Cygwin/XFree86 xterm. Of course, I didn't want to generate multiple running copies of the 'XWin' server, nor did I want useless Command prompt windows hanging around. Here's what I came up with. I make no claim to generality, robustness, cleverness, originality or anything else. It just works for me. It consists of three parts: 1) A desktop shortcut with the following target: C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\WSCRIPT.EXE C:\cygwin\invisible.vbs C:\cygwin\XFree86xterm.bat 2) A VB shell script named 'C:\cygwin\invisible.vbs' containing the single line: CreateObject(Wscript.Shell).Run WScript.Arguments(0) , 0, False 3) A DOS shell script named 'C:\cygwin\XFree86xterm.bat' containing the following lines: --- @echo off ps -ef | grep /usr/X11R6/bin/XWin nul if ERRORLEVEL 1 ( start /DC:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin /B XWin -multiwindow -clipboard ) set DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\xterm -fn 10x20 -sl 1000 -sb -leftbar -ms red -fg yellow -bg black -e /usr/bin/bash --login -i --- Description: - The shortcut starts the Windows scripting language, which runs the simple Visual Basic script. - The VB script runs the DOS shell script without generating a Command window. - The DOS shell script - Starts 'XWin' with my preferred switches as a background process if no such process is already running, - Sets DISPLAY to the 'localhost:0.0', which the 'xterm' will inherit, and - Starts a login bash shell in an XFree86 xterm with some decent extra settings. john _ Get business advice and resources to improve your work life, from bCentral. http://special.msn.com/bcentral/loudclear.armx

Regarding xwinclip, you should really be using (XWin -clipboard) as it now works with Xdmcp connections and it no longer steals ownership of the selection in X everytime you highlight something in programs like emacs.

However, I don't think we are going to have to modify anything anyway, since the default for the new firewall in SP2 is to allowing incoming connections for a few seconds from the remote host after an outbound connection has been made to it. This should work just fine with our outbound UDP connection that expects to get a return TCP connection for Xdmcp. Harold

RE: Convenient script for starting an XFree86 xterm
Thomas, Thanks for the tip. I hadn't known about '/usr/X11R6/bin/run.exe'. Now that I am aware of it, I'm not finding much documentation about it. However, it does improve upon my offering by simplifying it. As you suggested, I can eliminate the VBScript and replace the target in my shortcut by C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\run.exe /XFree86xterm.bat where '/XFree86xterm.bat' points to the DOS script I described earlier. The new procedure is simpler and works just as well. A minor drawback to both procedures is that one cannot take advantage of Windows' facility to position new windows to avoid complete overlap. I suppose it's being applied to the non-existent Command prompt window rather than the 'xterm'. john

multiwindow broken?
I have been (successfully) using XWin with -multimonitor -multiwindow recently. However, since upgrading to the latest release (via setup.exe - 4.2.0-3) the multiwindow support seems to have gone crazy... it opens the window ok (if in the top corner of the /other/ monitor), but then when I try to move the window, I end up with two versions of the window being rendered, and neither of them seem to respond, or redraw themselves. Has something been changed? I'm running windows XP with 2 monitors, one at 1024x768 (left), one at 1280x1024(right). I've tried putting them to the same res and it made no difference. I presume it works without multimonitor, but as I cant move the windows that appear (they appear off the top of my left screen) I can't be sure... Thanks for any help. Regards, Ben Jackson
BUMP: Icelandic character composition not working
Hi Again, If this is not the correct place to ask about this, please just let me know. Otherwise, any ideas? Jay Hi, Sorry if this is the wrong list; I am not sure where to turn. In RedHat Linux running under xwindows provided by Cygwin/XFree86, I am able to type all the foreign characters I need to use, except for one Icelandic characters (I can type other Icelandic characters). Again, this is to type such characters in linux programs and documents running under X. My guru mapped the Right Alt key as the Multi_key and so with it I can make characters like þ and Þ and Ä, etc., by typing combinations of letters, etc. However, I have not been able to figure out how to make the thorn (eth) character which I think is 208 and 240 decimal. It is the character that looks like a d or D with a horizontal line through it. The docs say that I am supposed to be able to use: minus Dor D minus minus dor d minus (minus = dash = - ) I have Googled and just am not finding the right page. Any ideas? Thanks. Jay

New log file header
The new header in the log file, as of XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-49, looks like the following: === Welcome to the XWin X Server Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project Release: 4.3.0.49 Contact: cygwin-xfree at cygwin daught com XWin was started with the following command line: XWin :0 -multiwindow -clipboard ddxProcessArgument - Initializing default screens [...] === The release number 4.3.0.49 corresponds exactly to 4.3.0-49 of the XFree86-xserv package. This number should always match the version of the XFree86-xserv package with each future release. The contact information is in the log file so that no one can claim that they did not know whom to email when they send me log snippits :) The command line information is there because we need it for diagnosing problems, but it is also there because we are all human and sometimes the way that we started XWin.exe differs from the way that we thought we started it. In addition to this new log header most of the same information is presented in a popup message box when the server crashes and FatalError is called. Finally, this information is also presented when a command line argument is malformed (e.g. -screen what), when an invalid command line argument is passed (e.g. -junk), or when help is requested (e.g. -help). This popup box tells the user to look at /tmp/XWin.log for more information. The next step here would be to present the DOS path to /tmp/XWin.log so that a user with a little less knowledge will be able to find the file. I am pretty proud of this collection of little features: I think they are going to result in an improved image for Cygwin/X since users will feel empowered while also saving us time from having to prompt people to send us the information that we need; it should also eliminate a lot of mistakes in the reporting of that information. Lets hope that this is the best Cygwin/X release ever :) Harold
Problem with 4.3.0-47, ssh tunelling and emacs
After upgrading to Xfree86-xserv to 4.3.0-47 using the cygwin setup, GNU emacs crashes with the following messages: X protocol error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) on protocol request 38 The crash occurs as soon as the mouse is moved *after* the RMB is pressed down. It is systematic and can be repeated easily The crash occurs with both emacs 21.2.1 and 21.3.1. The OS is Red Hat 9. The problem does not sem to occur with other X applications on the same tunnel. xemacs works fine. Surprisingly enough, the crash does not occur all the time. Within the same session, emacs sometimes works just fine. When that is the case, it works fine repeatedly. The crash if frequent though to prevent any reliable use of emacs, and once it kicks in it is systematic. The conditions that trigger the problem are unclear. Stopping and restarting the X server does not help. The problem does not seem to exist in 4.3.0-44, so downgrading to that version seems to be a valid workaround. -erik
downgrading
Thanks so much! Any good hints on how I downgrade XFree? Can I do it with setup.exe? How do I install it? Is there a good page? I'd love to make this work again. Thanks, Dan

Hi A new version of 'tzcode/tzdata' has been uploaded to a server near you. DESCRIPTION: The time zone package CYGWIN NEWS: * compiled with cygwin-1.5.7 * man pages are now in /usr/share/man * fixed some mkdir warnings during installation * added missing requires: gawk pdksh * removed tz-date.exe and tz-date.1 as /usr/bin/date now (since cygwin-1.5.7) handles the new timezone format (e.g.: TZ=Europe/Berlin) There is a script tzselect in /usr/sbin which asks the user about the time zone, and output the resulting TZ value to stdout. * removed libtz.a since the functionality is included in cygwin * moved /usr/share/zoneinfo-leaps to /usr/share/zoneinfo/right and /usr/share/zoneinfo-posix to /usr/share/zoneinfo/posix as on Linux tzcode/tzdata NEWS == * Sorry no changelog available. You have to do the diff yourself. INSTALLATION: = 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. Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up the above mentioned package from the 'System' category. DOWNLOAD: = Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't allowed due to bandwidth limitations. This means that you will need to find a mirror which has this update. These mirrors already got the package, the others will probably have the latest version of this package fairly soon: In the US ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/pub/sourceware/cygwin/ has reliable high bandwidth connections. QUESTIONS: == If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing list is the appropriate place.

read(): varblk tape records...( Fix for : read())
Hi Corinna, Rereading the MSDN: Q161338 document I refered to before, Cygwin will need to use a minimum 128KB buffer when 'reading' data from tapes - the NT specification doesn't allow access to the 'last bytes' in a variable-block any other way. 128KB allows for any SCSI device under windows. (I noticed there was a memcpy for each ReadFile call - so I assume CygWin uses its own internal buffers, which may or maynot be large enough for tape support.)

multiple cron cause problem
Dear all, As many users did, cron starts with bash. (probably in .barshrc) But we keep open new terminal, because of more jobs or previous termial deadlock. Thus we started many cron process at different time. Will this cause problem? I observed that cron procedures remain in the windows NT Task Manager even after the terminal finish or be throttled. Is it supposed to be? It is also observed that cygwin.bat in the distribution, which uses NT termial + bash is worse at terminating cron, while xterm+bash is better at cleaning up. Any ideas?

Re: read(): varblk tape records...( Fix for : read())
Hi Corinna, If you could look into that it would be great. I know there's a few 'Hercules mainframe' emulator users who would like to get their tape drives working, and I think this will fix it. You are right, I've not looked at the Cygwin source code... Only traced my own programs to fix the difference I've discovered in the APIs. Could I ask why you need to allocate a buffer and then copy it to the buffer I supply? Wouldn't it be easier to calculate a new address when calling ReadFile and do without the extra memcpy? Just thinking of speed, needless mem-copies and needless buffers. If read() turns out to need a change, could you also check why I need to set varblk mode before each write to remind the API what's going on - from what I remember a second write returns an error unless I reset varblk mode each time. (I call a routine to set to before each read and write, just to be sure... but would like to know that all the extra code can be removed at some time later.)

gcc problem
Hi Gents,
I've installed the latest version of cygwin (as of today 2.03.04). My PC is
running Windows 2000 with service pack 4. Installation is done on my loca
drive d:. I tried a small C++ and failed, the reason is totally unclear to
me.
The program is:
#include iostream

int selection;
bool loop = true;
while (loop)

I understand the comment right before the chown command as : we have to set the group to SYSTEM to allow SYSTEM to read the file ; cron is a service, and has SYSTEM rights. But here it's another problem : the user SYSTEM should be able to write the file, wihtout changing ownership (as under UNIX). I tried to set permissions to 660 for the crontab, but crontab failed again on rename: Permission denied. It's strange, read and write permissions are not enough to modify a file (?) That's why I force the ownership to ROOT_UID, modify the crontab, and then give it back to the user. -- Julien Gilles. -- 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/
Re: multiple cron cause problem
* Michael Chen (2004-03-02 12:08 +0100) As many users did, cron starts with bash. (probably in .barshrc) Sorry? Cron is a normal windows service and a look into your .bashrc would advise you: grep cron ~/.bashrc. And bash is not the default shell for cron - if you meant this - but sh: man 5 crontab. But we keep open new terminal, because of more jobs or previous termial deadlock. Thus we started many cron process at different time. Will this cause problem? Cron is not started via bash and it doesn't use a terminal. I observed that cron procedures remain in the windows NT Task Manager even after the terminal finish or be throttled. Is it supposed to be? Sorry, but again: cron has nothing to do with your terminal. It forks when it executes a new job and terminates afterwards. It is also observed that cygwin.bat in the distribution, which uses NT termial + bash is worse at terminating cron, while xterm+bash is better at cleaning up. Definetely not as cron is a normal windows service and runs in the background - so no terminal is involved at all (Windows console, rxvt, xterm).

RE: gcc problem
g++ is in a separate package named gcc-g++, be sure you have installed this too. Then you need to link against libstdc++ when using gcc as driver: gcc -o gtest gtest.cc -lstdc++ or you use g++ as driver which includes libstdc++ automatically: g++ -o gtest gtest.cc Just want to drop my usual line here - Do use g++ rather then gcc -lstdc++ Since gcc -lstdc++ isn't always enough, and what is enough may not always be enough in the future. Gareth PS - in response to the other email - .cc Is pre-processor input - since that's the Normal state for c++ code - pre-processor input of which the output is then fed to a c++ compiler. (Virtually at least, in practice it can end up being integrated somewhat. The C standard allows 'as if' interpretation in the implementation of the pre-processing component.) -- 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/

The output of cygcheck -svr from a regular shell would have been very helpful (and it *is* requested in the Cygwin problem reporting guidelines at http://cygwin.com/problems.html, which you should read in any case). Putting env tempfile doesn't produce anything from within the service. Which probably means that the service runs with an empty environment... Unless... Try specifying /bin/env explicitly, just in case, as well as the full path to the tempfile. Putting 'echo $PATH 2' into the bash script might also be helpful. Looks like it's only stderr being generated from within the service as there is none of the additional info I get from these two commands when it is run interactively. Tried the INT signal, same symptons. Does what I want, but displays the error messages. Did you try trapping SIGINT in the bash script and printing out a message before exiting?

Re: Better way to do this? (bash scripting)
On Tue, 2 Mar 2004, Yaakov Selkowitz wrote:
I hope this isn't considered too far OT, but perhaps someone will find
this useful.
I wrote the attached scripts, which I place in /etc/profile.d/, in order
to get quicker access to the original-package and Cygwin-specific
documentation. (pkgdoc and cygdoc respectively)
What I wanted to know is:
1) is there a better and/or more precise way of searching for the file?
Well, every way I can think of will use 'find' at least once (maybe cache
the results, like 'locate' does).
2) is there a better and/or more precise way of verifying that there's
actually such a file to feed to less, instead of calling find twice?
Thanks,
Yaakov
a) You can supply multiple directories as starting points to GNU find,
e.g.,
find /usr/bin /usr/include -type f -name \*cygwin\* -print
b) Use the -r parameter to xargs, so that the program won't be invoked
unless something is found, e.g.,
find /usr/bin /usr/include -type f -name \*cygwin\* -print0 | xargs -r0 ls -l
c) Use the -path predicate rather than -name.
Also, your scripts are not space-in-filename friendly -- a no-no for
Cygwin -- and the no documentation message will be printed for every
directory (which is not quite what you want). So, with the above fixed,
the first set of 'for' loops in your pkgdoc.sh could become something like
# ---
package_dirs=`echo '${PKGDOC_PATH}' | sed s%:%' '%g`
readme_files=`eval find $package_dirs -path '*$1-*/$2' -o \
-path '*$1/*/$2' -o -path '*$1/$2' -print | \
sed -e s%^%'% -e s%$%'%`
if [ -n $readme_files ]; then
echo $readme_files | xargs -r less
else
echo No $2 documentation was found for the $1 package
fi
STATUS=$? ;;

Patrick,
WFM. I can't reproduce your problem on Win2k (without Tcl and --user).
Here's what I did:
$ mkdir /tmp/servicetest cd /tmp/servicetest
$ cat service.sh
#!/bin/bash
terminate() {
echo Terminating 2
exit 0
}
trap terminate INT
echo Starting service 2
trap -p
while true; do
sleep 10
echo STDERR 2
echo STDOUT 1
done
$ cygrunsrv --install test-daemon --path /usr/bin/bash.exe --args --login
/tmp/servicetest/service.sh --termsig INT --shutdown
$ cygrunsrv -S test-daemon; sleep 30; cygrunsrv -E test-daemon
$ cat /var/log/test-daemon.log
Starting service
trap -- 'terminate' SIGINT
STDERR
STDOUT
STDERR
STDOUT
STDERR
STDOUT

So, messages going to stdout/stderr were properly redirected. If the
above works for you, try adding a Tcl call to the test script, and see if
it changes anything.

It seems somehow that the return code of the errored run gets lost or something.

Re: multiple cron cause problem
*Please do NOT send private email* * Michael Chen (2004-03-02 20:12 +0100) I read /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/cron.README I doubt that. and see that cron in cygwin is actually a windows 2000 service, surprising! It is not by itself. You have to install it as described in the readme. But does it mean I shoud see cron in the NT Task Manager once windows 2000 starts? If you set the start type of the service to automatically, yes. Otherwise no. I checked carefully, and it is not there. Either you didn't install it as a services or it isn't run automatically: read /var/cron/log, the system and application entries in the eventviewer. Without calling it from termail, cron won't do anything on my machine. As you stated it DOESN'T DO ANYTHING EVEN WHEN CALLING IT FROM A SHELL. What do yo type? - net start cron? I editted my crontab file /var/cron/tabs/Administrator to let it write date to a log file every minute and nothing happens! I and others already told you that your command line is totally wrong. You didn't even bother to test it in a shell. Do you expect cron to compensate for your inability in testing?! By the way, cron man page says that it send output to user. But I didn't see 'mail' or 'sendmail' package in Cygwin. Why? Because you didn't read /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/cron.README. There it says that Mail is send using /usr/sbin/ssmtp instead of using sendmail. It does it even if there is no ssmtp by redirecting output and error messages to ~/dead.letter.

Where is the relevant info ?

read: /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/cygipc-*.README for details
Five days later, cygwin-1.5.6 was released with System V shm, sem, msg

cygserver and the documentation was accidentally left out of that release.
On the last day of January, cygwin-1.5.7 was released and included the
missing files. See /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/cygserver.README for details.
Finally, on February 09, cygipc was updated to happily cooexist with the
cygserver implementation.

apache2 and cygwin- problems running
I am running CYGWIN 1.5.7 on WindowsXP, been having problems getting apache2 (2.0.47 2.0.48) to startup and continue running. It just simply shows up on my taskmgr, then exits with little fanfair. I have no issues compiling Apache2, I get the normal .exe errors so I simply copy the .exe's left behind over to the default /usr/local/apache2/bin. I have tried: './httpd.exe -k start' './httpd.exe -t' './httpd.exe -e debug' './apachectl start' I get no errors on the httpd.exe, on the apachectl I get the 'ulimit' not available, but nothing else save a 'pid overwritten' message in the errors_log. I have tried the various switches for no shared objects, or all shared objects. I have compiled with default prefork as the model, then tried to change all the paths, thinking it was possible I had wrong server roots. I've seen that others were fruitfull on getting it to at least run, but it just dies on me no matter what ports I set, ip's.

RE: invalid spawn id (4)
Brett, I understood your point. You clearly didn't catch mine though, I guess because it was shrouded in humor. I'll be more plain. The argument you make for including Cygwin's telnet by default could be made for many other utilities provided with Cygwin as well. Including all these by default would make for a very large base installation. Some would say that it is already too large. Since you argue that the current default installation contains a gazillion other things installed by default that will only be useful to 0.01% of the user base, I'm assuming you would be in agreement with this crowd. But that would contradict your argument so I can only guess that you're making it to let everyone on the list know that all this bothers you intensely. Perhaps you feel that you're owed some kind of apology because we didn't anticipate your needs and provide all the facilities (but no more!) that you need personally by default. Maybe you're just being antagonistic. I'm not sure. What I am sure about is that you have complete freedom to install or not any package that Cygwin provides. We're not forcing any on you. Even the default ones can be unselected initially or uninstalled later. Given that fact, I fail to understand you indignation on this point. But I hope you understand you are in no way restricted by the current options and that Cygwin as distributed from cygwin.com will not be changing it's defaults to accommodate your specific desires.

Brett, Humor and indignation aside, it might be a useful feature to have installation profiles for setup based on intended usage. That way, instead of having to wade through all the packages (on a too-small screen, no less [an inside joke]), one could simply select Cygwin for telnet, or Cygwin for shell scripting, or Cygwin for cron and the right set of packages will automagically be selected.

Re: apache2 and cygwin- problems running
I suppose I should have directed my question better, I was a tad confused for sure. I wasn't aware I -had- to use cygserver in order to get this to startup, you helped lead me down the path that I had to install the package. I outright forgot that I did in fact read the docs for it, when I tried to run the command to do the config it wasn't found. Who knows what else I was tasking to, I've been in a state of Bliss since I went back to try Cygwin. Previously, I was on a slow connection so to download all the packages was really tiresome. KDE has been wonderful to me so far, and I've been able to get rid of all my xwindows managers for win32 so I can run a few ulities on my gateway. So thanks a lot, it runs fine with the exception that I am told the service fails to start, when it's quite the opposite. That however can be fixed now that the httpd.exe is running.

done echo Failed after $C runs
If yes: The strace catches the errors. I use a script without strace
and the while catches the error of the make command.
Do you actually have an strace which demonstrates the problem? I
don't any indication that you've duplicated this problem running
strace with a modern snapshot.
I have reproduced the problem with a recent snapshot ('25), and strace,
but I am only using a single strace output file, so it keeps going and
over-writes the errored strace with the next run. I will run it tonight
while preserving all strace logs, but I can only run for about 1500
iterations before I fill my disk. I hope it happens before that.
Is there any way to tell strace to mimic the return code of it's
inferior process?

setup installation profiles [Was Re: invalid spawn id (4)]

Feel free to implement the support for this in setup and submit a patch -- I'm sure it will be thoughtfully considered. Actually, IMO, setup's UI needs a complete and total redesign. It's obviously not very intuitive to use. Something like the above would probably be useful but maybe we should just go with a more traditional installer look-and-feel. Anyone up for a 'setup2' project? cgf AFAIK, there's already work in progress on separating setup's functionality from the UI. Once that's done, we could consider multiple front-ends for setup, including a Linux-style TUI, or a skinned GUI. My suggestion above is orthogonal to this. As for the traditional installer look-and-feel, if I understood you correctly, it may not be appropriate for Cygwin, at least the component selection interface. I, personally, have some improvements that I'm working on or planning to be working on that would bring the setup procedure closer to that of the traditional installers. I suppose by the time we get to designing the look-and-feel, some examples and screenshots would help determine exactly what people mean. We're just about due for another setup design discussion on cygwin-apps, anyway. :-) Igor -- http://cs.nyu.edu/~pechtcha/ |\ _,,,---,,_[EMAIL PROTECTED] ZZZzz /,`.-'`'-. ;-;;,_[EMAIL PROTECTED] |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Igor Pechtchanski, Ph.D. '---''(_/--' `-'\_) fL a.k.a JaguaR-R-R-r-r-r-.-.-.

Re: Snapshot 20040225: make hangs/errors out
Ok, I haven't been following this thread, but I thought I'd try to help
debug. Somebody tell me if I found a clue, or I'm just being stupid.
Under a current, debugging enabled, cvs compiled cygwin1.dll:
$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 fordpc 1.5.8(0.111/4/2) 2004-03-02 12:22 i686 unknown
unknown Cygwin
using the attached b.sh script and Makefile, I see the following output:
[snip]
: End 30.pp 1
: Begin 0.pp 1+1
[snip]
: End 30.pp 1+1
: Begin 0.pp 1+1+1
[etc]
hence, the env dump in the script. Is it just too late in the day for me,
or is there environment corruption at play here?
This is very easy to reproduce, and it changes with minor changes to the
script.

RE: invalid spawn id (4)
Brett, First off, please configure your mailer to not quote raw e-mail addresses in your replies -- the spam harvesters have it too easy already. And I actually was not joking -- Cygwin setup, just like Cygwin itself, is open-source software developed by volunteers in their spare time. Without their contributions, we would still be in the days of B20 (although some people seem to think that that might not be too bad). Frankly, the reason I suggested that you try to do this is that this project doesn't look like it'll require too much of a learning curve, and will, IMO, help improve the overall Cygwin user experience. We're always looking for skilled contributors.
