Re: XTerm won't start on Win2000
I've fixed the problem by totally removing Cygwin and re-installing from scratch. So I guess there was some sort of problem with my previous download. I still have no idea what though. I'm a newbie to Cygwin X, and I can't open an XTerm. I've tried various options including startxwin.bat, startxwin.sh (from a Cygwin bash shell) and manually typing in commands from startxwin.sh. When running the bat file in dos, I get nothing - no error messages and no xterms. From bash, I still don't get xterms but I do get an error message: xterm Xt error: Can't open display: 127.0.0.1:0.0 I've tried reinstalling the whole of my Cygwin dist, just Xfree, fonts and zlib with absolutely no effect. I'm not using ssh and I have a colleague who should have an identical PC build who uses Xfree fine, so I know it's possible. There is no X log being created in /tmp. In fact, /tmp is empty. Having read other posts, I find this distinctly worrying. I'm running Win2000Professional and I've checked for suppressed pop-ups about missing dlls. There aren't any. Sorry not to provide more information but this is all I have! Any clues for where to find more logs, or (even better) a solution to my predicament would be greatly appreciated. Susannah

problem
Hi ! I was using Cygwin and Xfree86 until 1 or 2 weeks ago to run software in my department from home. Now suddenly when I open a shell and type startx it doesnt start XWin.exe any more. I just get anther bash with different colors. Before it used to open a window with X running in it aftrer which I could connect to my dept and run the software I need. Have you heard of this problem before ? Is it known or am I missing some change in the configurationfiles ? Thanks a lot, I would really like to keep using the program, because its great. Ciao, Michael
Re: problem
Now by default the multi-window mode is used: you don't have anymore a specific window for the X server. In this mode Windows Explorer is used as a Window Manager and you can see that X is running by looking at the X shaped icon in the tray. If you want X to start as it did before you must launch directly XWin without the -multiwindow options, or you can provide a .xserverrc file in your home directory (or the system wide configuration in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xserverrc).

Xterm on HP-UX

I've started bash the following ways: cmd.exe : speed 38400 - xterm.exe : speed 38400 - xterm.exe : speed 38400 XWin.exe (multiwindow) - xterm.exe : speed 0 XWin.exe (no multiwindow) - xterm.exe : speed 0 - xterm.exe : speed 0 XWin.exe (build with console window) - xterm.exe : speed 0 It seems the newly started xterm inherits the speed settings from the starting program. not exactly (I've rebooted to test cygwin, see that BAUD_0 isn't defined). I think the issue is that the ioctl to set the baud rate fails. It doesn't inherit the speed settings, since xterm always sets it. Seeing why it works for rxvt would be useful, for instance. Baud rate for a terminal emulator is bogus anyway - the reason why it is set is to give ncurses a hint about padding. I changed it from 9600 to 38400 a few years ago, and rxvt followed suit.

W2K Terminal Services and multiple users running X
I am able to successfully run XWin after logging onto a W2K Server via Terminal Services, but if another user attempts to do the same thing at the same time, she is not allowed. Is there some way to set this up so that 2 instances of XWin can be running at the same time? Do we each need our own Cygwin /tmp dir? I found many references to Terminal Services in the mail list archives but none pertaining to multiple users. TIA, -joel
Re: W2K Terminal Services and multiple users running X
Joel, Each user needs a unique display number, which is specified as N in the following: XWin :N Such as: XWin :0 (default display zero) XWin :1 (display one) You can either hard-code these in startup scripts for each user, or you can help us with the feature that automatically assigns display numbers... but the true difficulty in that is communicating the assigned display number back to the shell from which XWin was launched so that X programs can know the correct display to connect to.

Harold, ... but the true difficulty in that is communicating the assigned display number back to the shell from which XWin was launched so that X programs can know the correct display to connect to.

Running more than one X server, how (or maybe there's another way)?
I am trying to run more than one X server on my WIn2k system and don't seem to be able to do it. Maybe I'm trying to do the wrong thing and there's another approach to get what I want. I'm running the -60 version. I run a multiple/virtual desktop system on my win2k machine, I run the cygwin X server to display a remote system's Linux desktop in one of the virtual windows and it occupies the whole window. What I want to do in addition is to display local rxvt windows on demand on other win2k virtual desktop windows. Trying to start another X server to display the local rxvt window(s) doesn't seem to work, I've tried using the -screen parameter but that didn't seem to get me far, the rxvt windows insisted in popping up on the Linux desktop anyway and the second X server failed to start up with an error message about invalid screen parameters. Can anyone think of a way of getting what I want? Can I start up an X server that will see the win2k virtual screens as different displays, or can I start up one that will see them all as one big wide display? -- Chris Green ([EMAIL PROTECTED])

There may also be a way of guessing whether the file was created by the current instance of XWin I don't have it fleshed out yet, but something like: (1) check if c:\cygwin\var\run\XWin.lock.display exists, (2) if not, create it, (3) run XWin, (4) sleep in a loop while the first file returned by dir /b /o:-d c:\cygwin\var\run\XWin.*.display is XWin.lock.display; finally, (5) extract the first file and (6) type the file to get the display number.

I'm pretty sure you would still be messed up by batch files not having the concept of assigning the output of a program to an environment variable. There is a hack you can sort of do, which I have done, which is to have your program generate a batch file that sets the value of an env var, then CALL that batch file from your original batch file. Of course, this do nothing to solve the mutli-user problem since you would have to know the name of the batch file that was assigned, which is a nice Catch-22 back to the problem of not being able to assign the output of programs to an env var. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be possible unless we had XWin.exe launched directly, then have it pre-process, write out to a temp file, and run a specified batch script. Sounds kinda weird to me and like just using shell scripts would be easier and less to maintain. What do you think? Harold

Re: Problem with Gnuplot under Cygwin/XFree86
Have you tried the Cygwin/X gnuplot package instead of the one that you compiled? It is possible that Volker has already fixed this problem in his Cygwin-specific patch. If not, he reads this list and maybe he will want to try to fix it. ;) Harold I described a problem with Gnuplot under Cygwin/XFree86 here: http://groups.google.com/groups?dq=hl=enlr=ie=UTF-8threadm=c3mrn7%24oko%241%40nets3.rz.RWTH-Aachen.DEprev=/groups%3Fhl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26group%3Dcomp.graphics.apps.gnuplot In the opinion of one of the Gnuplot gurus (Hans BB), it's a Cygwin/XFree86 problem not a Gnuplot problem.

RE: Hydravision problem?
Hi,
thanks for the suggestion.
I have updated to 4.3.0-59 and 4.3.0-60.
It is a little bit different behavior than the earlier version
I had.
On the secondary display the xterm seems fine. No
immediate issures.
On the primary display the refresh does not seem to work
correctly.
The window seems to have some smaller portion on the left hand side
that works correctly. The size seems to vary from a sliver on the left
barely visable to about half the xterm. I can't seem to tell
whats determining the size.
The part that does not refresh is black or white. Even the pointer
(which is a }{ symbol) seems to stop where the refresh stops.
Note that it will go up and down and you can still see part of it
on the edge of the refresh area.
Thanks again for your help.

uxterm from xterm-185-3 and xfontsel crashing when running under cygserver support
Hi I just discovered why uxterm and xfontsel are crashing on my system. It's happening when running cygserver so X can detect shared memory support. When disabling cygserver I see the following message in XWin.log: MIT-SHM extension disabled due to lack of kernel support XFree86-Bigfont extension local-client optimization disabled due to lack of shared memory support in the kernel but then uxterm and xfontsel are running fine. So it looks like the XFree86-Bigfont extension somehow doesn't work properly with cygserver. Here my relevant environment. cygwin 1.5.9-1 libXft 2.1.6-1 libXft-devel2.1.6-1 libXft1 1.0.0-1 libXft2 2.1.6-1 XFree86-base4.3.0-9 XFree86-bin 4.3.0-19 XFree86-bin-icons 4.3.0-7 XFree86-doc 4.3.0-1 XFree86-etc 4.3.0-11 XFree86-f1004.3.0-1 XFree86-fcyr4.3.0-1 XFree86-fenc4.3.0-1 XFree86-fnts4.3.0-1 XFree86-fscl4.3.0-1 XFree86-fsrv4.3.0-8 XFree86-html4.3.0-8 XFree86-jdoc4.3.0-1 XFree86-lib 4.3.0-2 XFree86-lib-compat 4.3.0-2 XFree86-man 4.3.0-8 XFree86-nest4.3.0-7 XFree86-prog4.3.0-19 XFree86-prt 4.3.0-5 XFree86-ps 4.3.0-1 XFree86-startup-scripts 4.2.0-5 XFree86-vfb 4.3.0-7 XFree86-xserv 4.3.0-60 XFree86-xwinclip4.3.0-2 xterm 185-3 Can anbody confirm my observation ?

Does Hydravision expose two separate displays in the Display control
panel, Advanced tab (i.e. numbered 1 and 2 in the dialog)? If so,
what is the orientation of these displays? relative to the one
you have defined as the main screen (use this device as
primary monitor)? Can you click-and-drag both displays and report
the (x,y) coordinate of each one's upper-left corner (shows in
a balloon help window when you draw a monitor in the dialog)?
And are the X/Y pixel dimension of each monitor the same?
It looks like what's going on is the X/Y dimensions of the X root
window aren't matching the X/Y dimensions of the Win32 desktop for
some reason. The same thing happens if you use multiwindow
w/o the multiplemonitors option on a 2- or 3-head box...

Why not have XWin write its display number to a file in /var/run, e.g.,
/var/run/XWin.$$.display, where $$ stands for the PID of the XWin
process? Since anyone who started XWin in the background from a shell
script will have access to its PID via $!, the following idiom will work:
XWin -multiwindow -emulate3buttons
XWINPID=$!
DISPLAY_FILE=/var/run/XWin.$XWINPID.display

Unfortunately, this approach won't work from .bat scripts (since they
aren't aware of Cygwin process IDs). It also won't work if cygstart
XWin is used. Any ideas on how to address it?

Batch scripts was more of my concern... it would be possible to do from
a Cygwin shell like you describe (though I did not have all of the
tricks in mind).
Maybe the solution is to make the batch files just launch a shell script
to do the heavy lifting... sort of cheating but if it makes it possible
then it is acceptable to me.
Harold
Harold,
It might be possible to have the batch file check for the existence of the
display file. A rather crude first approximation would be (1) sleep for
a bit, then (2) do dir /b /o:-d c:\cygwin\var\run\XWin.*.display and (3)
extract the first file, then (4) type this file to get the display
number.
There may also be a way of guessing whether the file was created by the
current instance of XWin I don't have it fleshed out yet, but something
like: (1) check if c:\cygwin\var\run\XWin.lock.display exists, (2) if not,
create it, (3) run XWin, (4) sleep in a loop while the first file returned
by dir /b /o:-d c:\cygwin\var\run\XWin.*.display is XWin.lock.display;
finally, (5) extract the first file and (6) type the file to get the
display number. The XWin.lock.display will serve as both a lock file for
concurrent invocations (still not foolproof, but much better than
nothing), and also as a marker (it will be the newest such file until XWin
creates one, so it will be first in the list). Of course, step (7) is to
remove the lock file...
Hope this makes sense. I think I can implement the above with the NT
command subset (cmd.exe commands). I'm not sure if the limited
expressiveness of command.com on Win9x systems will allow this. Any
takers?
I'm pretty sure you would still be messed up by batch files not having
the concept of assigning the output of a program to an environment
variable.
Well, the point was that the NT command subset *does* have this concept.
The syntax would be something like (this prints it, but you get the
point):
FOR /F tokens=* %%G IN ('dir /b /o:-d') DO @(IF NOT DEFINED notfirst (echo %%G
call SET notfirst=1))
There is a hack you can sort of do, which I have done, which
is to have your program generate a batch file that sets the value of an
env var, then CALL that batch file from your original batch file. Of
course, this do nothing to solve the mutli-user problem since you would
have to know the name of the batch file that was assigned, which is a
nice Catch-22 back to the problem of not being able to assign the output
of programs to an env var.
As mentioned above, we may need to resort to this hack for Win9x.
I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be possible unless we had XWin.exe launched
directly, then have it pre-process, write out to a temp file, and run a
specified batch script. Sounds kinda weird to me and like just using
shell scripts would be easier and less to maintain.
What do you think?
Harold
Nah, we probably should just call a shell script on Win9x...
Fortunately, we can test the output of VER to see if we're on Win9x...

Clipboard fix - Please test

I would really appreciate it if people in other timezones could test this through the night (should show up on some mirrors with in a few hours, like mirrors.kernel.org) so that I can fix any problems with the change tomorrow. I would like to get this change stabilized before including Takuma's additional performance enhancement for multi-window mode. I also want to fix our dang tray icon that isn't cleaning itself up in all cases anymore... Harold
Re: uxterm from xterm-185-3 and xfontsel crashing when running under cygserver support
Hi I tried to find some information about the BigFont extension. This is from the X man page: XF86BIGFONT_DISABLE Setting this variable to a non-empty value disables the XFree86-Bigfont extension. This extension is a mechanism to reduce the memory consumption of big fonts by use of shared mem- ory. So I tried the following. I enabled the cygserver service again and set XF86BIGFONT_DISABLE=1 in my environment before starting up XWin. And voila, xfontsel and uxterm are working properly. So there's definitely a problem with the shared memory support of cygserver related to the BigFont extension. BTW I see the problem also with my mule enabled XEmacs when opening mails under Gnus with Japanese characters. XEmacs crashes happily, but not when using XF86BIGFONT_DISABLE or when disabling cygserver. Ciao Volker

How to run Apache as a WinXP service?
Hi all, I've got a problem trying to run Apache as an ordinary WinXP service. I use the cygrunsrv -I httpd -p /usr/sbin/httpd.exe command to add httpd.exe to the service list but if I try net start httpd I get the error message 1067 and if I try cygrunsrv -S httpd I get error message 1062.

1.5.5.1 posix conformance for strftime()
Hi all, I found some problem in strftime system call with respect to following assertion defined in IEEE std 2003.1 -1992 Test methods for measuring conformance to POSIX-part1 document: 07(A) A call to strftime() sets the external variable tzname[0] to point to the standard time-zone designation and tzname[1] to point to the summer time-zone designation corresponding to the current value of the TZ environment variable. It doesnt set the values of tzname[0] and tzname[1]. The old values are retained. I have gone through the code and found that perhaps code is not written to set the values of tzname[0] and tzname[1] according to TZ environment variable.

1.5.5.1 sysconf() NOT implemented for _SC_STREAM_MAX and _SC_TZNAME_MAX?
Hi all,
I found some problem in sysconf() system call with respect to following
assertions defined in IEEE std 2003.1 -1992 Test methods for measuring
conformance to POSIX-part1 document
10(A)If STREAM_MAX is defined when the header limits.h is included:
A call to sysconf(_SC_STREAM_MAX) either returns -1 without changing errno
or returns a value greater than or equal to {STREAM_MAX}.
Otherwise:
A call to sysconf(_SC_STREAM_MAX) either returns -1 without changing errno
or returns a value greater than or equal to {_POSIX_STREAM_MAX}.
11(A)If TZNAME_MAX is defined when the header limits.h is included:
A call to sysconf(_SC_TZNAME_MAX) either returns -1 without changing errno
or returns a value greater than or equal to {TZNAME_MAX}.
Otherwise:
A call to sysconf(_SC_TZNAME_MAX) either returns -1 without changing errno
or returns a value greater than or equal to {_POSIX_TZNAME_MAX}.
when called with argument _SC_STREAM_MAX or _SC_TZNAME_MAX, It
returns -1 but set errno to 22 (EINVAL) but is should not modify its
value.
By looking into code, I found that sysconf() is not implemented for these
argument values! Is any one going to address these in near future?

Sorry, no. Were you under the impression that cygwin is guaranteed to
conform to some posix standard or that people would be actively fixing
any problems reported in posix compliance? Unfortunately, neither is
true.
As I've previously noted, you could always contribute patches yourself.
Alternately, (and I know that Mentor knows about this) you could engage
the services of Red Hat or some other organization to implement whatever
you need.

I have employed a patented method that I have devised called a simple

#include stdio.h
#include stdlib.h
#include unistd.h
#include signal.h
void
ouch (int sig)
{
printf (ouch %d\n, sig);
}
int
main (int argc, char **argv)
{
struct sigaction newact = {0};
struct sigaction oldact;
int pid, x;
if (argc == 1)
newact.sa_flags = SA_NOCLDSTOP;
newact.sa_handler = ouch;
printf (%d = sigaction\n, sigaction (SIGCHLD, newact, oldact));
if ((pid = fork ()) 0)
kill (pid, SIGSTOP);
else
{
sleep (5);
sleep (1);
puts (exiting child\n);
exit (0);
}
sleep (1);
kill (pid, SIGCONT);
wait (x);
puts (exiting parent);
}
Compiling the above program as sigstopchld and running it provides:
m:\test.\sigstopchld # Calling with SA_NOCLDSTOP
0 = sigaction
exiting child
ouch 20 # Just one SIGCHLD from child exit
exiting parent
m:\test.\sigstopchld 1 # SA_NOCLDSTOP not set
0 = sigaction
ouch 20 # first SIGCHLD
exiting child
ouch 20 # second SIGCHLD
exiting parent
This indicates to me that SA_NOCLDSTOP is working as designed.

Implementing a workaround for the suid bit
This one is for the archives... On Unix/Linux, there's a feature that provides security for applications which require access to privileged data by unprivileged users called the suid bit. This bit is set on a per-executable basis and is stored in the file system. It directs the exec system call to run the executable as the owner of the file, not as the user who called the program. (Note that this is distinctly different than programs that call the setuid system call, though surely any given executable could do either or both.) When porting such applications to Windows, there's a problem because Windows has a considerably different mechanism. Cygwin honors the suid bit in the file system but the feature that implements 'exec' does not. Until that is resolved, ported programs that need to provide reasonable security from Windows users who are not fully privileged have to use another mechanism. The following describes one such method using SSH. If sshd is installed, the application can be called using the ssh client. To set it up, create a new user account for this application that will be disabled but will be used exclusively for the purpose of this workaround. Importantly, this account must have a directory that's protected somewhere and is not shared by another account since ssh configuration files should be kept separate. Grant it whatever group privileges make sense for your security strategy. Be sure this account is created either before Cygwin is installed, or be sure to run mkpasswd/mkgroup, as directed elsewhere in Cygwin literature. This ensures the account is known to Cygwin. Install the Cygwin sshd, too, which you can do at the same time you install Cygwin if you wish. Create null pass-phraise keys for the application account that let any user with the right key login without a password. Distribute this key to all authorized users of the program and set it up in their environs according to ssh's directions. Create a helper program that will launch your application. The helper program is pointed to in Cygwin's /etc/passwd for the application account instead of the shell (usually /user/bin/bash). When called from ssh, it will receive two arguments, one is just '-c' and the other is the complete command line. Your helper program will have to reformat the arguments as required by your application and then do an exec call to execute the desired, unmodified application. You are now ready to setup lanuching the application. There are many ways, such as creating an alias something like this: $ alias application='ssh application_account@localhost -c ' Whatever is typed after the alias will be appended to the line and become arguments to your application. There remains an important issue: Unlike a genuine suid-bit launched program, in this scenario the environment is lacking in information about the genuine authenticity of the launching user - what system are they on and what is their username are important among these. Providing a scheme for resolution of this problem is a bit beyond the scope of this whitepaper, but the interested reader can probably invent something clever, perhaps with the use of more sophisticated helper programs on both ends. Here are a few additional thoughts regarding the missing information. One idea is to use identd. Unfortunately, identd is not currently an available package for Cygwin. You could just pass information along from the original user as a flag ( -U username@hostname for example) but knowing that it's genuine is a bit of a trick. In such cases, I recommend encrypting the username and hostname and then have the helper explicitly check that the connection is in fact local and set the username in the environment before calling the application. Also, if the application account has SYSTEM privilege, it may then change users, and this may be a desireable trait to consider in your helpers.

Re: lstat on FAT - Was: Problem with find on FAT drives
Hi Corinna, Looks pretty similar to me, but I was looking for the following: $ ls -ldin .\\tmp ./tmp 2919335057drwxr-xr-x 4 1006 513 0 Mar 10 13:06 ./tmp/ 2805415844195 drwxr-xr-x 4 1006 513 0 Mar 10 13:06 .\tmp/ I came to that program by reducing the find soure to the bare minimum to show that problem. So again, is this an expected/tolerated behaviour? Yes, it's by design. The answer is don't use DOS paths. It's nice to be mean, isn't it? Well, have a look at path.cc, there is a lot of useless code that deals with this useless DOS paths. I bet it would be a nice speed up if we would remove this cruft. But serious, I was hoping for some pointers where to start searching for that problem, but it wasn't difficult to find. In the absence of inodes they are calculated as the hash of the normalized filename, but somehow the normalization of the DOS paths fails and therefore the example gives different inodes. Why? Because, despite of the comment for normalize_posix_path that says: /* Normalize a POSIX path. \'s are converted to /'s in the process. All duplicate /'s, except for 2 leading /'s, are deleted. The result is 0 for success, or an errno error value. */ the \'s are not always converted to /'s. Some \ are not recogized because isslash(c) only triggers for /. With the attached patch I get: $ ls -ldin .\\tmp ./tmp 2919335057 drwxr-xr-x 4 1006 513 0 Mar 10 13:06 ./tmp/ 2919335057 drwxr-xr-x 4 1006 513 0 Mar 10 13:06 .\tmp/ This repairs my find problem. I didn't make extensive tests with this patch, but if DOS paths are not deprecated I'm willing to do more testing.

Weird input file is output file error from cat
(This seen after installing cygwin-inst-20040322.tar on top of 1.5.9 on
Windows 2K3 Server.)
It seems that in some directories, cat (from textutils-2.0.21-1) produces a
strange error:
/z/work/client/objects/nt/app-dbg-int-ram touch a b c; cat a b c
/z/work/client/objects/nt/app-dbg-int-ram cd result/

Something else that's weird:
/z/work/client/objects/nt/app-dbg-int-ram cd result
/z/work/client/objects/nt/app-dbg-int-ram/result cat a b d
cat: b: input file is output file
/z/work/client/objects/nt/app-dbg-int-ram/result cat a d
/z/work/client/objects/nt/app-dbg-int-ram/result
Note that all these files do not exist before the touch.
The code in cat.c looks like this:
if (check_redirection
stat_buf.st_dev == out_dev stat_buf.st_ino == out_ino
(input_desc != STDIN_FILENO))
{
error (0, 0, _(%s: input file is output file), infile);
exit_status = 1;
goto contin;
}
But when I rebuild cat from the textutils-2.0.21-1 sources I don't see the
problem. It almost looks like something is wrong with the cat in the textutils
package.

test -c com1 hangs on some WinXP systems
Our application runs on multiple OS'es. A few of our WinXP users (and perhaps Win2k, can't remember) have had if test -c com1 hang during our configure stage. We've already figured out that we should be using /dev/ttyS0 instead of com1, and have switched to that. Because of the hang we're trying if test -d /proc/registry as the test.

Re: lstat on FAT - Was: Problem with find on FAT drives

How about some clarification: Don't use DOS paths if you want consistent i-nodes? You're welcome to use DOS paths if you want. You just can't expect UNIX-style behavior from them. Did you read that mail to the end? It contained a full analysis of the problem and even a patch. It is just a small unconsistency that is easily fixable, I didn't fully check if my changing of isslash() does some harm, if it does the inode problem is still fixable. Again, see my ananlysis. Would you in principle preject a patch that fixes the inode behaviour on non NTFS drives?

Re: sshd authentication question
Good news. To check if the underlying problem is still there, run your test program and see if the output of id still lacks the global groups from time to time. For the archives, here is yet another solution to be in the local Admins group: edit /etc/passwd and change the gid of the user to 544. This has two possible drawbacks compared to what you did: - /etc/passwd must be reedited each time it is regenerated - Files will be created with gid 544, which may not be as desired.

Re: lstat on FAT - Was: Problem with find on FAT drives
I also had a look at the code and reached pretty much the same conclusion as Volker. Replacing all 'isslash (*src)' and 'isslash (src[x])' in normalize_posix_path by isdirsep () would yield more consistent results. I know this code is delicate but the possible drawback isn't obvious. speed disadvantage for nebulous gain. I will not comment on the nebulous gain, but it is not necessary at all to use sdirsep () or both '\' and '/' in normalize_posix_path. Just let the function do what its comment says, namely \'s are converted to /'s in the process. At the moment this is only done when the path either contains a drive letter or is an unc path.

A few of our WinXP users (and perhaps Win2k, can't remember) have had if test -c com1 hang during our configure stage. We've already figured out that we should be using /dev/ttyS0 instead of com1, and have switched to that. Because of the hang we're trying if test -d /proc/registry as the test. If /proc/registry is found, we skip the file test for the serial device on Cygwin boxes, thereby avoiding the hang. Excerpt (the version that hangs sometimes): AC_DEFUN([XASTIR_DETECT_DEVICES], [ AC_MSG_CHECKING([for devices]) if test -c com1 ; then ac_tnc_port=com1 ac_gps_port=com2 elif test -c /dev/cuaa0 ; then ac_tnc_port=/dev/cuaa0 ac_gps_port=/dev/cuaa1 New improved version: AC_DEFUN([XASTIR_DETECT_DEVICES], [ AC_MSG_CHECKING([for devices]) if test -d /proc/registry ; then ac_tnc_port=/dev/ttyS0 ac_gps_port=/dev/ttyS1 elif test -c /dev/cuaa0 ; then ac_tnc_port=/dev/cuaa0 ac_gps_port=/dev/cuaa1 Should if test -c com1 or if test -c /dev/ttyS0 work on Cygwin across all Windows platforms it supports? We'd rather do if test -c /dev/ttyS0 if possible, so that it's similar across all platforms we support. I should have completed more of the function above, as it's possible that it is one of the other tests that hangs on Cygwin/WinXP. Unlikely, but possible. I expect it hangs on the first test for com1. Tack the following code onto the end of either code example above: elif test -c /dev/ttyS0 ; then ac_tnc_port=/dev/ttyS0 ac_gps_port=/dev/ttyS1 elif test -c /dev/cua/a ; then ac_tnc_port=/dev/cua/a ac_gps_port=/dev/cua/b else ac_tnc_port=none ac_gps_port=none fi com is a reserved name in Windows.

Re: Just updated Cygwin and can't make with g++ command not found
You don't need all of Cygwin's packages to be able to write, compile, and debug C++ code on Cygwin, no. You can probably get by with a default installation plus 'gcc', 'gcc-g++', 'binutils', and 'gdb', depending on your needs. That, of course, leaves out your favorite Cygwin-supported editor, among other incidentals (or not so incidentals). If you get two responses from me each time, it's because I do a reply-all which sends to the list and you. If you read the list, you may find it more convenient to just get your replies from there. In that case, set your reply-to option to the list and you'll just get one instead. That's what I do.

bash bad interpreter - a new twist!
Hi I seem to have an intermittant problem with bash that I cannot work out---in which a script usually works fine, but sometimes in the same session attempting to run it gives the bash message: bad interpreter. I'm using cygwin (september 2003 build) and ActiveState perl. To connect ActiveState into cygwin I use a proxy /usr/local/bin/perl bourne shell script that essentially transalates the paths (cygpath -w) and delegates to the ActiveState perl.exe binary. Given the following foobar script: #!/usr/local/bin/perl -w print foobar world\n; When I invoke foobar from the bash command line, nine times out of ten it works. However, sometimes I get the bash error: bash: /cygdrive/f/home/evad/bin/foobar: /usr/local/bin/perl: bad interpreter: No such file or directory If I immediately type the command again it will work, but given enough time/iterations it will fail again. One thing to notice ... each time I create a new shell window it always fails the first time I issue the command. I'd appreciate some ideas as right now I'm quite puzzled.

CP Yes, but I want Word to open on the XP machine editing the file on CP the AIX box all when called from a script on the AIX box. The CP user will be viewing an X seesion from the AIX box in cygwin, CP execute a script and Word would then open locally.
