ITP moratorium
We've had a flood of package ITPs and a missing package maintainer. I'm imposing a moratorium on ITPs for now. I think I'm beginning to detect the sign of breakage in the process and possibly am detecting the fact that we are overloading setup.exe. It is rather a shame that we have a package like coreutils going unclaimed while people are busily proposing other packages which would be of general utility to only a tiny percentage of cygwin users. Maybe it's time to sweep through the list again and see if we are missing any maintainers, too. Corinna did you do this last time? cgf
libungif - Depends on obsolete X libraries - Rebuild for approval by maintainer
It was brought to my attention today that my WindowMaker package requires files in the XFree86-lib-compat package by its dependency on the libungif package. Note: I did not say that setup.exe knows about this dependency (that is another issue [1]). The libungif package was last updated on 2002/07/14. Since that time the X library naming scheme was changed and the libraries in the XFree86-lib-compat package are going to be pulled from distribution within a week or two. There was some discussion about updating the libungif package about a week ago but nothing has come of it yet. I have an interest in getting this fixed, so I have completed a rebuild of the package, fixing several errors that I discovered in the process. I have left the package as libungif-4.1.0 for now... the patches I made should also make the just released 4.1.2 package build fine (released 2004/03/02). I am posting this for review by Lapo, the current maintainer of libungif. If Lapo approves, I will upload this ASAP. Changes for libungif-4.1.0-3 1) Rebuild against current X libraries; old build required XFree86-lib-compat package, which will be pulled from distribution soon after 2004/03/05. (Harold L Hunt II) 2) Added dependency on XFree86-bin in setup.hint. (Harold L Hunt II) 3) Fixed build script to clean the autom4te.cache directory in 'mkpatch' step. (Harold L Hunt II) 4) Fixed build script to ignore files generated by relibtoolize, since this step will be performed on next rebuild. (Harold L Hunt II) 5) Moved relibtoolize from 'conf' step to 'prep' step so it will only be performed once. (Harold L Hunt II) 6) Update build script to autodetect original source file compression type. 7) Append $(EXEEXT) to COMPILABLE_EXTRAS in configure.in so that the defined build rules in utils/Makefile.am are used instead of default build rules (which results in certain includes not being found). (Harold L Hunt II) 8) Add -no-undefined to libunfig_la_LDFLAGS in lib/Makefile.am to enable building of a shared library (DLL). It doesn't seem that the patches described in the 4.1.0-2 release notes actually made it into the -src package. (Harold L Hunt II) 9) Move documentation from /usr/doc to /usr/share/doc and limit files copied to *.html, *.png, and *.txt. (Harold L Hunt II) 10) Fixed quoting issue in setup.hint that was fixed on sources.redhat.com but not in the source package. (Harold L Hunt II) Package for review == wget --non-verbose \ http://www.egr.msu.edu/~huntharo/cygwin/release/libungif/\ libungif-4.1.0-3-src.tar.bz2 \ http://www.egr.msu.edu/~huntharo/cygwin/release/libungif/\ libungif-4.1.0-3.tar.bz2 \ http://www.egr.msu.edu/~huntharo/cygwin/release/libungif/setup.hint I tested WindowMaker against this rebuild and it ran fine. I also checked the dependencies of wmaker.exe with cygcheck and noted that the dependency on libX11.dll was gone and replaced with cygX11-6.dll, which is as expected. Harold [1] Note: libungif-4.1.0-2, even though dependent upon files in XFree86-lib-compat, did not actually list that package as a dependency in its setup.hint; users that did not happen to have XFree86-lib-compat installed would get an error when libX11.dll could not be found and wmaker.exe would fail to run.

WindowMaker does not find libX11.dll
Hi all, I had problems with a fresh setup (today with all the newest packages with XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-50 and all). WindowMaker will not start, since it cannot find libX11.dll. And really, this file does not exist after setup.exe. From some older discussion I found that copying cygX11-6.dll to libX11.dll fixes the problem, and it did. Does this mean that WindowMaker package is just out of date? Thanks, Tuli .. MTV3 Laajakaista - Hauskemman elämän puolesta. http://www.mtv3.fi/liittyma/hankinta/laajakaista/

I realize this isn't exact relevant, but you never know what someone will ask about. - The firewall is doing nat (I don't know if this is what all firewalls do), so I have a linksys_ip and a windows_ip. - I've configured my local firewall to pass ports 6000-6020 through to my windows host. - I've tried these configurations unsuccessfully.

XWin -query $remote_ip XWin -query $remote_ip -from $windows_ip XWin -query $remote_ip -clipboard -from $windows_ip With these I get the same error: XWin -query $remote_ip -from $linksys_ip XWin -query $remote_ip -clipboard -from $linksys_ip XWin -query $remote_ip -fp tcp/$remote_ip:7100 -clipboard -from $linksys_ip _XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root Fatal server error: Xserver: failed to bind to -from address: 24.10.217.117 With this I get a more hopeful error: XWin -query $remote_ip -fp tcp/$remote_ip:7100 -clipboard -from $windows_ip Could not init font path element tcp/207.88.121.38:7100, removing from list! Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed' I could be I'm not running a font server on port 7100, or that the port is inaccessible for some reason. I've read many of the posting in the archives and the faq. The faq says none of this will work through a firewall, but maybe it's out of date. I've noticed other posting from people who may have gotten this to work? Or have I misread them? Am I totally off-base? Is there any hope getting kdm through my firewall? Suggestions? BTW, Thanks for Cgywin and the XFree86 port! I've been using it for year with great success. Thanks, Robert Mecklenburg

Re: WindowMaker does not find libX11.dll
Hi Harold, thanks for finding it out. However, I also noticed two other problems. 1) Emacs and xemacs (as started on Solaris and Linux) have crashing problems with the new XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-50. With XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-44 this problem did not exist. The crashing can easily be reproduced just by clicking on the emacs windows repeatedly for some seconds, maybe moving the mouse a bit at the same time. 2) The Alt Gr button on my european keyboard does not seem to work at all with emacs/xemacs. However, it works with xterm. Once again, this problem didn't occur with XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-44. Maybe these two problems are also a result of some outdated library?

Re: New log file header
On Fri, 5 Mar 2004, Takuma Murakami wrote: 2. Could you add a time-stamp at beginning of each line ? I tried to correspond the log messages with external actions (i.e. copy/paste and Emacs errors) and the time stamp could help. That is an interesting idea. I think we can do something like that because we have a single ErrorF function that handles printing the log messages. We should be able to modify this one function to get timestamps on all entries... but it may not look too pretty since it will mess with multiple-line error messages that come from other parts of the source code. If those lines are printed with multiple ErrorF calls, then things will line up correctly. However, if they are printed with a single call to ErrorF with multiple \n's, then it may not look so good. Of course, we could substitute each \n in the format string (except for the last) with \n%TIME%, which would help to keep things aligned. I dunno... I will have to think about this a bit. In my humble opinion, time stamps are very good for debugging but might be slightly too verbose for average users. Additionally it could reduce readability of log files. I think a kind of log level (verbosity level) is desired so that XWiin will print time stamps if -verbose or -debug flag is specified. However I can't contribute right now so I honor implementor's choice. There is already a -loglevel switch. All logfunction (ErrorF, winErrorVerb ...) will end up in winMsg (AFAIR). You can add the timestamp there. currently the default loglevel is 2 (afair). Maybe loglevel 3 or 4 is a good choice for adding the timestamp. bye [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723 Chemnitzer Linux-Tag 2004 - 6. und 7.

is there a way to download separate files instead of a whole package when updating your cygwin system. Take an example, I want to use gv, and it requires cygXmu-6.dll, since I don't have this file in my original Xfree86-bin, I need to download this file, yet I don't want to download a few M's package just for the sake of a few k's file via my slow connection. Or can anyone send me this file, thanks.

Emacs crashing with XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-50

Re: Emacs crashing with XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-50
Try running without -multwindow and instead use 'twm' as your window manager. If you can reproduce the problem, then we know that it was likely always there and that you just happened to notice it with release 4.3.0-50. If you cannot reproduce the problem then we have probably identified a valid problem in the multi-window code.

Alt-Gr not working with emacs?
Hi all, the Alt Gr button on my european keyboard does not seem to work at all with Solaris or Linux emacs/xemacs on XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-50.

Peter, You aren't running xwinclip and -clipboard at the same time are you? That would really not work and could cause stability problems as you describe. Harold
Re: XWin -clipboard and xterm focus
Peter, xinit -- Xwin -clipboard -multiwindow You may need to specify the X server in its absolute path. Thus your command line should be: xinit -- /usr/X11R6/bin/XWin -clipboard -multiwindow And make sure your $HOME/.xinitrc has no problem. The easiest way is to rename it so that it doesn't affect xinit behaviour. Takuma Murakami

Broken package selection for a full install
I installed cygwin (version 1.5.7) using setup.exe. I downloaded all the files locally, then cycled to Install rather than Default for selection All. A large number of post-install scripts produced the error dialog A required .DLL file CYGPCRE.DLL is missing and A required .DLL file CYGKPATHSEA-3.DLL is missing. A perusal of the mailing list in some recent messages gave me a clue: It seems that setup (or dependencies in a lot packages) are broken, and the libraries required are not always selected (in this case libpcre and libkapthsea3). I have fired up setup and opened up every branch, and discovered that there are actually quite a few packages that were not installed. Either cycling to Install in All is not what I thought (install everything), or setup is broken. Well setup is broken anyway because, it should, at a minimum, install all dependencies.

Re: read(): varblk tape records...( Fix for : read())
On Mar 5 05:14, Jason Winter wrote: Hi Corinna, It turns out that your new fix (for read();) might (I'm not sure until the nightly builds are working again) prevent the bug from happening with var-blk records - but I think the 'bug' will still cause problems with fixed-block records and maybe other filetypes. The issue I'm having is: raw_read() is setting devbufstart devbufend, and raw_write() checks devbufend for buffering (which isn't required with var-block records or properly written fixed-block records in any case.) What means properly? It's not necessary with var-blocks, but it is necessary with fixed blocks. If somebody writes 1200 bytes to a tape set to 512 byte blocksize, raw_write writes 2 blocks (1024 bytes) to the tape and buffers the remaining 176 bytes for the next write. How should that work otherwise? My own feeling on this is, when reading tape-block data (fixed or variable blocks) and the blocks are not being buffered in calls (ie. my test-harness uses correctly sized buffers) then raw_read() shouldn't leave devbufstart or devbufend non-zero. I don't quite understand what you mean. The first thing in raw_read() is to call writebuf() which checks if devbuf is used as a write buffer and if so, tries to write the data in the buffer onto the medium. This also sets devbufstart and devbufend to zero. Am I missing something? Unfortunately I can't run your testcase. My DDS tape drive seems to be broken.

1.5.7 undefined reference to getreent when using mno-cygwin
Hi, I have a pure Win32 console program which I am trying to compile under Cygwin. I am including the following libraries -lws2_32 -lrpcrt4 -luuid -lrpcns4 -lpsapi -liphlpapi and am using a host of Win32 calls for threading, sockets, semaphores, etc. I know that I need to compile with the option -mno-cygwin to be able to run the program on a computer without the cygwin.dll, which is what I want, however, when I add this option I get the following linker error: undefined reference to `___getreent' This is my linker statement: g++ -g -O2 -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_REENTRANT -D_THREAD_SAFE -D WIN32 -D CYGWIN -D __CYGWIN__ CoreMain.o CoreLibrary.a -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/usr/local/lib -o CoreTest -mno-cygwin -lws2_32 -lrpcrt4 -luuid -lrpcns4 -lpsapi -liphlpapi I have found that I get this for every line in the code where I use either getchar() or printf(...\b...); fflush(stdout); and when I comment out these the error goes away, but jumps to the next line or file where I use this or something like it. I must admit that I have not tried removing all hundreds of them, just the first 15 or so... I have tried to include all sorts of libraries instead of the cygwin.dll and actually, when I include the -lpthread it compiles, but then the program crashes when I start using threads and semaphores... As I mentioned above, when I do not state -mno-cygwin, everything works fine and the program runs perfectly! But then it needs the cygwin.dll, of course... I found a few references to this on the web, mostly promoting the compiler directive -D __CYGWIN__ which I have tried, but to no avail... Below is a snippet of output from the linker.

sshd vs. lftp
I've noticed some odd behaviour with the current sshd and lftp; everything is current (OpenSSH 3.8p1-1, lftp 2.6.10-2) and working (ssh and sftp work fine, lftp to other sites works fine). When I lftp to this box, tab completion doesn't work, and the mirror command downloads the specified directory, but none of its contents: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [531]: pwd /tmp [EMAIL PROTECTED] [532]: lc mirror/ test-lftp/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] [533]: find test-lftp -print test-lftp test-lftp/file1 test-lftp/file2 test-lftp/file3 [EMAIL PROTECTED] [534]: cd mirror /tmp/mirror [EMAIL PROTECTED] [535]: !lftp lftp -u chris fish://localhost/tmp/ Password: lftp [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp mirror -v test-lftp Total: 1 directory, 0 files, 0 symlinks Using lftp 2.6.12 under Mac OS X exhibits the same problems; works fine with the other sites I tested, but not the box running cygwin's sshd. sshd is started from inetd, which is running as a service. CYGWIN is set to ntea ntsec tty for the service. My home system is running cygwin's open ssh 3.7.1p2-2 and it appears to work properly with the current cygwin lftp and my Mac OS X build.

Hi Corinna, Unfortunately I can't run your testcase. My DDS tape drive seems to be broken.

Do you want my Native NT version - it works perfectly? Here are some other things I've noticed: 1/ close() writes a file-mark in some cases... Don't, I can do this myself, thank's anyway! 2/ read() should check for Win32 error 1101 - filemark and return 0 bytes, no error. 3/ tape_status dynamically checks 'tape_drive_get_absolute_blk', before calling tape_get_pos () : but my tape drive says '0' when it's busy, preventing the current block from being updated *sometimes*. Force-reading it works just fine, if you want to cache the flag somewhere when the device is opened? 4/ sending a tape-rewind command doesn't reset any internal flags, does it need to?

So, read() sets the writing flag off, and flushes any data that needs it, then uses devbufstart etc. and leaves it in a non-zero state. Now write() gets called. writing flag is no: so devbufend is assigned to devbufstart (which is non-zero) and devbufstart is reset to 0. Now, write() starts to process buffers! But these buffers are not write buffers! They are leftover read buffers (and as I wrote before, doesn't effect val-blk-writes due to other code-paths.) Or, am I missing something? Jason. ps.

Re: read(): varblk tape records...( Fix for : read())

I'm getting CRC errors when trying to write more than one block, rewind after write or when trying to erase the tape. It's very annoying since the drive seems to seek the tape randomly for a good minute before the CRC error is reported. Cleaning the drive or trying various, also fresh tapes didn't help either.

Re: VM Could not reserve enough space
Dave, First off, please configure your mailer to not quote raw e-mail addresses in your replies -- the spam harvesters have it too easy as it is. Secondly, nutch is not an official Cygwin package, and so isn't supported on this list. Try asking on a nutch support forum (if there is any), or look at the nutch documentation for the appropriate contact point.

Thanks in advance Dave Dave, There is no JVM under Cygwin, so any JVM you're going to run will be a Windows program and will ignore the heap_chunk_in_mb setting (I'm assuming you're not running 'gcj', as you said java for windows). Do you get the same problem when running from a cmd.exe window? If yes, then it's a Java problem and off-topic for this list. If you only get this when running from a Cygwin program, please review Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html and post a proper problem report. It would also help to know the version of Java that you're attempting to run and the exact command line.

Windows 2000 - starting Service
Dear cygwin-Team, I installed cygwin successful. The cygipc-service is running perfectly. I want to start another service I named 'postmaster'. I need this service for PostgreSQL. When I try to start the service an error-message appears. Error 1067 : Process terminated unexpectedly What can I do to solve this problem ? And I have a second question how could I set an enviromentvariable PGDATA ? I tried it that way : PGDATA = /cygdrive/f/database... that is what happened : bash: PGDATA: command not found What should I type in to set the variable ? It would be very nice of you, if you could help me.

Self-destructing Insight installation!
Hi everyone, So there I was, debugging the gnu cpp with insight, then making a few changes, rebuilding cpp0.exe and doing another debug run. And all of a sudden, I got this error message, and insight refused to run. I've only managed to capture it in .PNG format, because it was one of those windows that you can't copy+paste code from, but basically what it said was Can't find a usable main.tcl, then an error report (extra characters after close-brace) and stack backtrace, followed by the threatening message This probably means that insight wasn't installed properly. Which was surprising, because I hadn't been messing around with my cygwin installation any during this time. Anyways, what transpires is that the crash was occurring while reading the prefs for the application, and during my previous run of insight I had set a breakpoint. Somehow, when this got written out into my local prefs file (~/gdbtk.ini), it was written in a malformed syntax that caused the error next time I tried running insight when it went to source the prefs. This is absolutely repeatable: I can add or remove the line either with a text editor or (when insight is working) by using the break command in the console window, and when the line is present insight won't start, and when it's gone it will start. Here's how the breakpoints line was being written out into my prefs file: ---snip--- C:/artimi.src/gcc-build/gcc/gcc/cpp0.exe/breakpoints={{break cpp_post_options} 1 {} {}} {{break main} 1 {} {}} ---snip--- I haven't pursued this any further. If anyone wants to see the .PNG file of the error message, or the rest of my gdbtk.ini, I could mail it to them. However, I imagine that there's probably a very simple bug in the routine that writes out the prefs, and I hope this report is enough that someone who's more familiar with the insight code might be able to just point right at it and go There it is!. If not, just let me know what further diagnostics you'd like. Here's my insight and tcl version info, from insight --version and runtest --version GNU gdb 2003-09-20-cvs (cygwin-special) Tcl version is 8.4 Of course, maybe this is already solved in 8.4.1; I haven't tried a snapshot, but I couldn't find anything that sounds like this problem when I searched the insight ml archive. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today -- 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/
