OK, I built a debugging version of cygwin1.dll and dropped it
on top of the normal one, then ran my test program with
  export CYGWIN=error_start:C:\\cygwin\\bin\\gdb.exe
  ./foo
and hit 'c' and then 'bt' as suggested.  Looks like the
debugger is a bit happier with the debugging build.
I don't have time to look at it tonight, but in case
it makes any sense to you, here's the backtrace.
Thanks,

Re: Trailing commandline arguments not allowed.

I tried $cygrunsvr -I Apache Oh forget it.  The problem was my servername.

I cannot have $cygrunsrv -I Apache 1.3-p /usr/sbin/httpd.exe -t auto

It has to be $cygrunsrv -I Apache -p /usr/sbin/httpd.exe -t auto

It was the space in Apache 1.3

The missing DefaultBeep is a generic problem in need of fixing.  As I'm
sure you know, you do this via the control panel.  In XP it is the
Sounds and Audio Devices Properties selection.

Build a debugging version of cygwin, use CYGWIN=error_start:..., type 'c'
when gdb pops up, and then inspect like pointers, 'this' pointers,

And this is a WinXP system with an up-to-date cygwin and

MessageBeep in general does not work on my system (even from a non-Cygwin
program).  There used to be a "DefaultBeep" event in Windows that had a
sound associated with it -- that was the sound that MessageBeep used.
I don't know why there is no such event now, but there isn't.  I did have
to install a service pack and some hotfixes recently, so I suspect they
had removed this somehow.  In any case, the sound is not muted, and the
Beep() call works.

I did not say the MessageBeep approach was wrong for everyone, I just said
it doesn't work on some systems.  Apparently it does in yours.  I'll
investigate...

Use g++ and not gcc to compile C++ code. Or at least, add the arguments
that tell gcc that it is compiling C++ code.

Where are they installed ? Let's say there is an $NS2/include directory
=> g++ -I$NS2/include -o ping ping.cpp

Anyway, these questions are not relative to cygwin, but to GCC and other
*nix command-line compilers.
=> 
- man gcc
- find a tutorial about makefiles, compiling under unices, etc...

You probably can do that using ssh.

You might be able to run Samba on your AIX machine instead of using 
nfs.  You might also be able to install SFU from MS which is supposed to 
support NFS.

Cygwin is a multi-threaded application.  Thread 1 would be the thread
which is having difficulties in this case.  The above stack trace is for
the thread that gets created when a debugger attaches to a process.  If
you type 'c' in gdb you should see where the real error is occurring.
Of course, since the error is in the cygwin DLL, you won't see the
source lines unless you rebuild the DLL with debugging.

FWIW, I can't duplicate this problem.  The stack trace would indicate
an OOM situation wrt cygwin's heap (which is separate from the program
heap) but if that was the case cygwin should have issued an error.

echo "^G"

where ^G is the literal "control g" character works fine for me.  ^G
uses the Windows MessageBeep call so if that isn't working then there
are undoubtedly other things wrong with your system.  Either that or you
have sound muted.

Sorry, but I don't get it (sarcasm ?).

Anyway, I have time to report it. Maybe you'll have to "fix" it
once you figure which should be part of Cygwin.

Trailing commandline arguments not allowed.

According to the documentation of starting the Apache web server as a service in 
cygwin the generic formula is:

$ cygrunsrv -I service_name-p /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd.exe [-a arguments] \
  [-e VAR=VALUE] [-t auto|manual] [-u user] [-w passwd]

So I did this in the bash shell:

$cygrunsrv -I Apache 1.3-p /usr/sbin/httpd.exe -t auto

Same thing with:
$cygrunsrv -I Apache 1.3-p /usr/sbin/httpd.exe-t auto

The result was the error I posted in the subject.  What did I do wromg?

Re: More on 'setup' fails and breaks pre-existing Cygwin installation.

Okay, I don't recall seeing the output of "cygcheck -svr" attached to any
of your messages, as requested in .
Please *attach* the output rather than including it inline.  You should be
able to run cygcheck from a CMD prompt.

Did you try a clean install by moving your Cygwin root directory out of
the way?  Whether or not you're able to do this, and what exact errors you
get when doing this, might prove instructive...  FWIW, unless you have
non-standard mounts, you should be able to recover the original (albeit
non-working) installation by moving the old root directory back to
c:\cygwin...  But first things first -- we need to see the output of
"cygcheck -svr".

BTW, does running "c:\cygwin\bin\bash --norc" also result in no prompt?
If not, does that bash work normally (note that you'll need to explicitly
prepend "/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin" to your PATH before you'll be able
to run any commands)?

Re: More on 'setup' fails and breaks pre-existing Cygwin installation.

2004-03-20 Thread Christopher M. Balz

The hang itself is indeed a soft hang. I can click out of it using the
'Cancel' button, and then at least sometimes, 'setup' will tell me that
installation is complete. Somewhere in these last clicks is where my
entire machine was taken down during two of my earlier attempts today.

cd c:\cygwin\bin
.\bash.exe --login -i
yields nothing, as before -- meaning that a blinking prompt is shown on
the line after the last command, and that's all.

'setup' hangs when it dies. The window its in closes without any
problem, though.

So it doesn't really crash anything? And this doesn't sound like a hard
hang, either -- at least the events are processed normally...

Running 'cygwin.bat' from the command line yields nothing.

I.e., just shows another prompt right away, or runs but doesn't show the
prompt? How about if you run
cd c:\cygwin\bin
.\bash.exe --login -i

Okay, so this shows that you did not reinstall either tetex-base or
tetex-tiny (good), and the postinstall script is still executed (bad).
This means that it never completed the execution, otherwise it would have
been renamed to "*.done". Try actually renaming it (by running
cd c:\cygwin\etc\postinstall
ren post-texmf.sh post-texmf.sh.done
from a CMD prompt). Then try re-running setup and see if it still hangs.
Also, try the latest setup snapshot ()
and see if it fares better.
It would also be interesting to try actually running the script (via

) and seeing if it hangs and what output it produces.

The install has broken my Cygwin shell completely. It pops up in a

Have you seen (my

messages?

The first two times 'setup' hung, it crashed my machine.

"Crashed" as in BSOD? What is the exact error (you may need to enable
BSODs for this or look in the Windows Event log).

I did try moving 'post-textmf.sh' to 'post-textmf.sh.done' but no luck.

This should be 'post-texmf.sh' and 'post-texmf.sh.done'... But that file
will be recreated every time you reinstall tetex-base or tetex-tiny.

"Package" was the wrong word, since it has a specific technical meaning, but
there is an option in cygwin setup, labelled "development",  that downloads

Have you seen  (my

"Crashed" as in BSOD?  What is the exact error (you may need to enable
BSODs for this or look in the Windows Event log).

This should be 'post-texmf.sh' and 'post-texmf.sh.done'...  But that file
will be recreated every time you reinstall tetex-base or tetex-tiny.

Is there any post-texmf.sh output in /var/log/setup.log.full?

Minimal test case for Make crash bug (was: Re: make segfault building cross-glibc with latest cygwin)

Got it.  I'm attaching a minimal test case.  glibc's makefile
requires that Make be able to handle 140 levels of include recursion,
but cygwin Make crashes after about 130 -- unless you're running
under gdb or strace, in which case it works fine.
To repeat the bug, just unpack the two attachments and run 'make'.
If you have the bug, it will crash; otherwise it will echo a list
of 140 words.
I've tried building gnu make 3.79.1 and 3.80 from scratch,
but they both suffer from the same problem.  I also tried
compiling make without optimization; didn't help.
So it's a Heisenbug in a small box now.  I wonder if it could
be a bug in Cygwin itself?

'setup' fails and breaks pre-existing Cygwin installation.

2004-03-20 Thread Christopher M. Balz

On Win2K SP 4 up-to-date, I install most packages (including X and tex) 
and 'setup' hangs with the folllowing message:

   Running . . .

   No package

   /etc/postinstall/post-texmf.sh

The  progress bar is almost finished at this point (above).

The install has broken my Cygwin shell completely.  It pops up in a 
window and closes fine but shows no text.  The first two times 'setup' 
hung, it crashed my machine.

I did try moving 'post-textmf.sh' to 'post-textmf.sh.done' but no luck.

Thank you in advance!

Lars,

In Cygwin, like in most Unixes, and unlike Windows, "." (the current
directory) has to explicitly be in the PATH for programs to be found there
(see ).  As the FAQ says, you can
prepend "./" to the name of the program in the current directory.
Alternatively, you can add "." to the PATH, either in your environment, or
via a "putenv" call if FORTRAN supports it.
Igor
P.S. FYI, system("cmd /c cls") won't work on Win9x.

Hello,

  call system('cmd.exe /c cls')

works! Thank you Dave!

Now I have a new problem with 'call system':
I wolud like to start a batch-file named '1.bat'.
1.bat and my program are in the same directory (C:\test).

  call system('1.bat')
  pause
  end

Error-message:

1.bat: not found

If i add the directory to the PATH:

PATH=%PATH%;C:\test

it works, but normally the current directory should be scanned, also if it is not in 
the PATH...?


If I try to start my program from the cygwin-shell (current directory is the directory 
where the program is saved) i get the following error-message:

bash: a.exe: command not found

This is no 'call system'-problem, but mayby there is a correllation.


Thank you very much, Lars.

Again, there is no "development" package in Cygwin.  There are individual
packages for things like "vim", and "bash", and "sed", and "sh-utils",
etc.  There was a suggestion of implementing "profiles" for Cygwin that
bundle various packages for specific usage patterns, but nobody has gotten
around to implementing it yet.

FYI, "No package" in setup simply means that setup could not determine
which package the postinstall script came from.  This functionality
(figuring out the package that the postinstall script belongs to) is
broken at the moment, but shouldn't affect the actual execution of the
postinstall scripts.

I suggest looking at the setup logs (/var/log/setup.log*), especially the
".full" one (note that it gets overwritten every time you run setup).
Also, to find out why the Cygwin prompt window doesn't come up, you can
run "c:\cygwin\cygwin.bat" from a CMD window (that way you'll see the
error message, if any).

In what way is setup "dying"?  Does it actually crash?  Which version of
setup are you running?

FWIW, if you feel that your Cygwin install is broken, you might want to
rename the root directory and try to install anew.  If the install works,
you may be able to simply your data from parts of the old tree into the
new one, depending on the extent of modifications you've performed to the
installation...

Chris,

There is no "Shells" package under Cygwin.  Do you mean to say that you've
installed all packages in the "Shells" category (i.e., "ash", "bash",
"clisp", "mc", "pdksh", "rxvt", "sh-utils", "tcsh", and "zsh")?

Most of the editors in Cygwin are found in the "Editors" category.  As of
today, you have a choice of (in alphabetical order): "ed" (if you're
desperate), "emacs", "emacs-X11" (requires X), "mc", "nano", "nedit"
(requires X), "vim", and "xemacs".  There's also "pico", which comes with
the "pine" package (in the "Mail" category).  Note that some of these
require other support packages, and some are quite huge.

FYI, if you're looking for a specific package, you can switch setup to the
"Full" view, which will show you all available packages sorted
alphabetically.

2004-03-20 Thread Christopher Spears

I installed cygwin with the shells package on my
computer with Windows 2000.  However, I discovered
that I don't have vi or vim.  Is there a way to
download one of these (or a different) text editor
into cygwin?  Which text editors would you recommend?

Re: Apache obatined in Cygwin Setup is FOREIGN

Basically Thorsten you are telling me to get a different newsreader.  The stuff
you are having trouble with I do not do intentionally.

I try to make things better for you.
But sometimes I forget.  Please understand
I am NOT doing this to you intentionally.
It is a result of this newsreader.

Note complaining about my newsreader could also
be said of those used here where this 
issue comes up.  I am trying.

Sure.  Any reasonable mailer (e.g., pine, mutt, Thunderbird, Netscape
Messenger, Eudora, the Bat) can be configured to omit the raw e-mail
address when a proper name is supplied.  I'm sure the newsreaders are just
as configurable.  FWIW, I use pine.  AFAICS, QuoteFix is a plug-in for
MS Outlook that accomplishes the same thing...  Don't know if it could be
done natively in Outlook...

Yes, I'm aware of that.  But it's my choice to display them -- I don't
expect you to do anything about them (except, maybe, optionally snip my
signature out of your replies, which, again, most reasonable mailers do).
Looking at your Google Groups posting, I believe you understood exactly
what I meant -- the e-mail address after a name in the "... wrote" string.
I'm mostly requesting this for others, who might unknowingly find their
e-mail addresses broadcasted for the whole world to see (since the
archives don't do address mangling in message bodies).

P.S. Thanks for taking the effort to research this, BTW.

It is better, thanks.  I didn't mean to chide you, just to alert you to

Please pay attention to details -- typing \usr\sbin\httpd will not even
start Apache in a bash shell; you'd need to type /usr/sbin/httpd for that
(note the forward slashes).  Also, httpd with no options forks and puts
itself in the background, but, on some OSes may still be attached to the
originating console (which is what you see -- bash has exited, but the
*console window* that ran bash cannot exit because of httpd running).
Since you haven't told us what version of the OS you're trying this on, we

As specified in , the way to report the
version of Cygwin (along with the OS version and enough details about your
installation to try reproducing your problem) is to attach (as an
uncompressed text attachment) the output of "cygcheck -svr" to your
message.

Re: tin-1.6.2: 8-bit chars not displayed, gettext transliterates

I guess I've come up with sth to resolve the issues:

First off, transliteration is a general gettext issue in Cygwin 
(i.e. applicable to mutt, slrn, etc. also) and can be remedied by
setting OUTPUT_CHARSET in the environment accordingly, e.g.

$ OUTPUT_CHARSET=iso-8859-1 LC_ALL=de_DE tin -ra

I'm not sure whether all versions of gettext shipped with Cygwin
honors this env. var, but gettext-0.12 (cygintl-2) knows about it.

As for displaying 8-bit chars in messages, I've tweaked one line in
sources (see below) and rebuilt with --disable-locale, specifically:

./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --enable-prototypes\
--without-pgp --without-pgpk --with-screen=ncurses \
--disable-locale --disable-mime-strict-charset

I've managed to display 8-bit chars after that in messages, in headers
also. The tweak below enables NLS without locale (which is Cygwin),
but have not tested thoroughly to observe side-effects, if any.

Edwin,

There should be quite a few documents on the net describing /dev/dsp on
Linux (try putting /dev/dsp in quotes when Googling).  It's a relatively
new implementation in Cygwin, however, and apparently wasn't around when
 was written...
It should, most likely, be added.  FYI, /dev/dsp is a.k.a /dev/sound and
/dev/audio.

I've not much experience with distcc, but it looks like you're trying to
use gcc 2.95.  This version of gcc is known to be broken with Cygwin and
is not supported -- it has been removed from the Cygwin mirrors. 
Apologies if this does not apply to your circumstance...

.bz2 and .gz are simply compression types.  They specify nothing about
the content or format contained therein.

Cygwin's setup.exe is designed to install Cygwin packages.  These are
not arbitrary .bz2 files but rather special archives created by the
maintainers in a way that makes them installable by setup.  You cannot
simply point setup at arbitrary tarballs[*] and expect it to work.  If
you want to install the items to which you refer, you will need to
download, unpack, configure, make, and install them yourself, fixing any
issues that come up along the way.  Setup can only work with Cygwin
packages.

[*] Unless of course those files are Cygwin packages, with corresponding
setup.ini files.

It was not a known problem but now it is.  I have no solution for
that problem so far, unfortunately.  Try experimenting with setting
the environment variable ISO2ASC to values between 0 and 6 before
starting tin, perhaps that mitigates it a bit.

Re: Setup broke on my install base

2004-03-20 Thread John Sellers

Thanks, my new DSL account was just activated so I re-installed cygwin 
to test out the connection.  Everything worked.  I then duplicated the 
behavior I saw, and played with a number of mirrors.  I now think that 
what people told me in the first place was correct, but I have no 
explanation of why I earlier saw similar behavior when trying other 
mirror sites.  The only explanation I can think of is that the PEBCAK.  :-)

John,

First, try selecting a different mirror.  Setup will not re-download the
packages you already have in the cache, even if the mirror is no longer
accessible.
If you get that problem with all the mirrors, try accessing

web browser.  If you succeed, try to download the packages again after
setting the "Connection" selector to "Use IE5 Settings" in setup.

Short story: make is dumping core on me repeatably under cygwin-1.5.9-1.
Things seem a bit unstable.
Should I roll back to an older version of cygwin?  If so,
which packages should I roll back?
Long story:
I've been adding cygwin support to http://kegel.com/crosstool
so I can build hetrogenous distcc clusters targeting e.g. Red Hat 6.2.
I have a nice automated shell script to do this;
works great under Linux, and I'm slowly chipping away at the problems
under Cygwin.  The latest one is a Heisenbug: a submake crashes,
but only if I don't run it under gdb :-(
One more datapoint: it doesn't seem to crash if I run it
under strace, either.
And no, the machine is not overclocked... it's been quite stable.
For what it's worth, I tried rolling back make and cygwin; didn't
seem to help (but then, I didn't reboot... hey, come to think of it,
isn't it standard practice to reboot when fixing any windows problem?
Guess I'll try again in the morning.)

Problem when compiling c++ using gcc

2004-03-20 Thread Feng Y

 Hi,
 
 I am new to Cygwin and I am using NS2 under cygwin-1.3.12.
When I tried to use gcc to compile some C++ code and
recompile NS, I met some problems. 
 
 I used the following command to compile the c++ file:
 gcc -o ping ping.cc
 
 I got the following messages:
 agent.h: No such file or directory
 tcltc.h: No such file or directory
 packet.h: No such file or directory
 
 
 How can I link these header files in NS directories?
 
 Thanks in advance.
 
 Yang
