Re: setup.exe development stalled?
If there is going to be an update of setup.exe, I'd like to add the following remark: I absolutely dislike setup.exe's habit of suggesting to create a desktop item everytime I install anything. I run an icon-free desktop, I don't want any new icons there, and I don't want to have to click this off every time. It would be respectful of setup.exe to remember my choice. Kind regards, Thomas Wolff

Re: XWin 4.3.0-50 crashes with -multiwindow (ping Earle)
Thanks for the good debug Fabrizio! You're welcome! The 24bpp icon handling was something I never could test: I couldn't find any apps that had 24bpp icons, all I found were 1- 15-, 16-, or 32-bit ones. I was assuming the X server always used a packed format, but PixmapBytePad() looks to be the proper way of handling this. (Can I ask how you knew? I did a Google on the macro and didn't come up with anything of interest, I only found stuff in the header files themselves...) Actually I only noticed MiGetImage did that, I was not sure it was right. I tried version 4.3.0-60 and it worked without crashing in 24bpp mode. There is a minor glitch left: in 24bpp mode, the icon at the upper left corner has wrong colours, while the colours are right in 16bpp mode. I'm sending you PNG files to show what's happening.

Pathnames for X server app-defaults etc.
Earlier this week, I re-installed Cygwin from scratch. The current version of the X server is 4.3.0-60. I noticed various oddities - in particular, application default files were ignored and the keyboard map was incorrect (for example, '#' produced a '\'). Then I realized that the server now expects to find all the config files under /usr/X11R6/lib/X11. Installing a few symlinks fixed all the problems: cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11; ln -s /etc/X11 . Now everything works properly. However, it seems to me that something is wrong with the package installation scripts which should either install all the files in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11, or create the relevant symlinks in this directory.

Re: Changes to multiwindow mode and always-on-top (ping Takuma)
Earle, At 07:56 PM 3/20/2004 +0900, Takuma Murakami wrote: You give me a good insight to improve Z order handling. I believe we can approach to better solutions. The attached is my latest code which should fix all problems on restacking and a-o-t windows without using fAlwaysOnTop flag. Could you try and review this? After 48 hours of continuous running in a mixed environment of both X and Windows apps I haven't noticed any problems at all, and I've seen from the logfile that the fRestacking flag has captured and killed some recursive restacks as expected from looking at your code. Thank you very much for the hard test, I cleaned the code and commited it. I'm glad to see the result of our cooperative development. The only glitch I have seen, and this is NOT new, is that when the Win32 Z order changes because of a right-click system menu or a click-and-drag to move a window, the X window is only restacked at the end of the menu or move operation. I'm also aware of this bug but I won't fix it for now. As a note for the commit, I just commented out your code on PreserveWin32Stack() by '#if 0' because it is nice for use from wm thread. We can utilize it in the future. There are still some possibilities to optimization, one of which is the performance of winReorderWindowsMultiWindow() as you pointed out before. However more optimizations need detailed examination into DIX code (to understand X's Restack operation) despite relatively little speed-up. So I finish the series of my optimizations to -multiwindow mode. Of course any enhancement is welcome. Takuma Murakami
Gtk programming
Using the Cygwin setup program, I have installed GTK+; looking for the 'gtk.h' file I found one in '/usr/include/gtk-2.0/gtk/gtk.h' and another at '/usr/X11R6/include/gtk-2.0/gtk/gtk.h', why is this? Most importantly, when I try to compile a program using: gcc example.c -Wall -o example `gtk-config --libs --cflags` I get a message saying that gtk-config was not found and that there is no such a file as 'gtk/gtk.h'! Can someone tell me how to solve this problem? TIA Entérate de las noticias más actualizadas de El Salvador y el mundo en www.elsalvador.com

RE: XWin 4.3.0-50 crashes with -multiwindow (ping Earle)
Hi All, It seems that this may have been resolved already, but FWIW... Earle F. Philhower III wrote: To fix it we can reinstate the if()... if (pixmap-drawable.bitsPerPixel == 15) effXBPP = 16; else effXBPP = pixmap-drawable.bitsPerPixel; if (pixmap-drawable.depth == 15) effXDepth = 16; else effXDepth = pixmap-drawable.depth; Or get rid of the effX* variables completely, but modify (~line 218) if (effxdepth==16) into into if (xdepth==16 || xdepth==15) and modify all of the X image ptr walking ptr += posX * (effXBPP / 8); into ptr += (xbpp==15)?(posX * (16/8):(posX * (xbpp/ 8)); Why not just replace (bpp/8) with ((bpp+1)/8) ? More generally you could use ((bpp+7)/8) which will round up any bit depth to a whole number of bytes (always assuming that bpp is an integral type). This works for all of the multi-bit depths mentioned by Earle. (I haven't got the source so I don't know if 1-bit images would be affected) Although it's probably not important in this context, the above approach is generally preferable for performance since, as well as being intrinsically quicker, it removes any conditional code which plays havoc with CPU branch prediction. I only mention this because I imagine that this scenario is replayed a lot throughout the server and there may be useful gains to be made. (Also, you could try replacing the '/8' with '3', but I'm pretty certain that gcc is smart enough to do that anyway.)

In addition to what Alexander said, if the XWin.log you sent was complete, then you are running an old version of the XFree86-xserv package since there is no version or command line information printed at the top of the file. Please run 'cygcheck -c XFree86-xserv' and report your results. If you think you have been updating regularly, then you may be pointing to a stale mirror and you need to reselect a different mirror from the mirror list. Note: If you selected a mirror that eventually became stale, it would be dropped from the downloaded mirror list, but it would still be your default mirror and would be added to the mirror list as a user entry. This isn't quite the way it should be (a mirror from the list being removed from the list should be distinct from a user entry) handled but that is the way it will continue to be until someone puts forth the effort on setup.exe.

Dr.D.J.Picton wrote: Earlier this week, I re-installed Cygwin from scratch. The current version of the X server is 4.3.0-60. I noticed various oddities - in particular, application default files were ignored and the keyboard map was incorrect (for example, '#' produced a '\'). Then I realized that the server now expects to find all the config files under /usr/X11R6/lib/X11. Installing a few symlinks fixed all the problems: cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11; ln -s /etc/X11 . Now everything works properly. However, it seems to me that something is wrong with the package installation scripts which should either install all the files in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11, or create the relevant symlinks in this directory. What are you talking about? The postinstall script for the lib package does exactly what you did... your installation must have barfed for some reason because those symlinks have been created by that script for months now, if not for longer than a year. Nothing has changed with that script that I know of, unless I royally broke something. Harold

I'll leave that legwork to the folks affected by this since I have been unable to reproduce it until now. We may just find out that the X app that owned the selection no longer has the data and that we need to clear the bit that says X owns the clipboard contents. The apps having trouble may be notifying us of their relinquished ownership in a way that is either not handled by us or not reliably handled by us. Waiting for a test case, Harold

test case for clipboard hang?
Harold: you wanted a test case for the clipboard hang. I can do it this way, using only xterm and notepad: 1) open xterm and notepad 2) type some stuff in the xterm 3) left click and drag to select text in the xterm (it gets highlighted) - let go of the mouse, and the text stays highlighted in reverse video. 4) single left click somewhere else in the xterm - the reverse video highlighting of the selection is removed 5) bring the focus to notepad and ^V to paste: it hangs for 3secs and doesn't paste (previously it would have hung completely). Note 1: if in between steps 3 and 4 you paste into notepad, it works, and even if you continue to step 5 it still works, you have to do it in that order. Note 2: Even after step 5 you can still paste X-X, ie middle-click in a different xterm and the paste goes through. (Maybe now it gets it from the CUT_BUFFER0 instead of from PRIMARY, the xterm manual states that selecting text puts it in both PRIMARY and in CUT_BUFFER0 -- presumably step 4 removes PRIMARY but does nothing to CUT_BUFFER0).

That would be because the configure script didn't find the libraries - I assume, since the configure script normally tries to check for those. It looks for xft-config (the script that tells how to compile/link). Perhaps that has been renamed? I think I had another xft-config in /opt/... without actually having libXft and friends in the path that that script pointed to. I have uninstalled those test packages now (which were modifying the PATH through profile.d scripts) and the rebuild of 185-4 seemed to find libXft and friends just fine. Harold

Starting the remote KDE still hangs, until I select some text in an xterm window. Starting any application inside KDE, the application will only appear after I again select some text in a window.

twm dying with multi-byte font handling?

Re: test case for clipboard hang?
Harold: Yes, I did reboot. I've rebooted again and found a variety of peculiar clipboard related behaviours that are somewhat tricky to reproduce reliably (just using xterm and notepad here). Simply doing the procedure I descibed before, immediately after a reboot, doesn't work the way I described, it works the way you described. However, after the reboot, after a bit of playing around with clipboard stuff during which time various odd things happen, it seems to settle down into a state where the previous procedure works the way I described. Some of the things I've observed before it settles down are: not being able to paste windows-X; xterm hanging for a few seconds, apparently until I select text in windows and copy to clipboard in windows; xterm not responding to pastes for quite a while but then later doing all the pastes it should have done earlier; etc. I haven't been able to reproduce any of these behaviours in a reliable way. However, I've repeated the following procedure 3 times and it worked the same each time -- probably not a minimal test case but it shows the problem. I have to follow the steps precisely in order, though: 1) Reboot 2) start a fresh xwin, xterm, notepad, and put some text in the xterm and notepad 3) select, ^C copy from notepad, middle-click in xterm. it pastes successfully 4) select in xterm, leave the text reverse-videoed 5) ^V paste into notepad (successfully) 6) drop the selection in xterm (by left clicking somewhere) 7) ^V paste into notepad (successfully, even though the selection is dropped) 8) select a different piece of text in xterm. 9) drop the selection in xterm 10) ^V paste into notepad: it hangs for a few seconds and doesn't paste. (The paste menu option is NOT greyed out at this point). I hope this is now reproducible for you. Let me know if there's any other info you need, or anything you want me to try doing. Lev
About box
Okay, I did it myself. We now have an About box that can be opened from the tray icon menu. The About box contains four buttons that link to our website (x.cygwin.com), our User's Guide on the website, our FAQ on the website, and our ChangeLog that is installed locally with the XFree86-xserv package. I would like to modify this slightly in the future to check if the User's Guide and FAQ have been installed locally (via the cygwin-x-doc package) and to open those local documents instead of going out to the web everytime. The About box is neat, check it out in XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-62 when it hits mirrors soon. Harold

Also, try both y_ppem/x_ppem *and* width/height to see which values will actually manage to load a font -- FreeType 2.1.7 has broken bdf/pcf loaders.

This issue is what I was referring to when I said that Earle should probably look at the PixmapBytePad patch to make sure it was complete. :) There's a saying I've learned from my verification engineers: If you don't test it, it won't work! WinXP doesn't list 24bpp mode anymore, VICE doesn't compile under cygwin w/o work, and I'm not likely to shell out $$M to buy an Oracle DB. :) To top it off, freedesktop's CVS /tmp disk is out of space so CVS isn't working. Ouch! I did some unit-testing of the undocumented BitsPerPixel() macro, and it seems to be what's needed. Changing line 74 to effXBPP = BitsPerPixel(pixmap-drawable.depth); will set it to 32 when given a 24-bpp drawable, giving a pixel stride of 4 bytes as desired. It also doesn't break any of the 1-, 16-, or 32-bit icons that I was able to test (the return values of BPP() match expected there too), but I still have no 24-bpp icons to try. I'll try the commit again tomorrow morning, but if Fabrizio wants to beat up his local copy before then and report back it'd be appreciated!

I don't think I've seen any 1-bit icon problems or heard of any (except for the complaint that xcalc's scaled icon was ugly) since.

test -c com1 hangs on some WinXP systems

RE: sshd authentication question
-Original Message- From: cygwin-owner On Behalf Of Matt Berney Sent: 24 March 2004 21:41 To follow up on this thread, I have added the 'Domain Administrator' to the local 'Administrators' group and the original problem with the ssh session not having 'admin privileges', went away Does this mean the problem was fixed? Or that we aren't experiencing this 'intermittent symptom' today? More extensive testing will be required to make sure. In the mean time, the 'Domain Admin' will be added to each server's 'local Admin group' to work around this problem. That indicates something's gone badly wrong with your domain setup. Domain admins should already be part of the Local Admins group by default; when you joined the computer to the domain, DOMAIN\Domain Admins should have been added to the local admin group during that process. Strange. You might want to investigate further. The fix should be robust and should solve the problem reliably, but there may be other similar quirks in your setup that may cause other problems.

Creating a custom package installer?
Dear all,
I have a question. Im on a project which involves LipSync on
Linux. Now, in the final phase, we're porting it to Windows. We're curious
to know how to create binary packages like tar.bz2 files. I took the
URL:http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/ptolemyII/ptII2.0/cygwin.htm
and used
http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/ptolemyII/ptII2.0/cygwinBasic.exe
This file unzipped to a setup.exe file
packages\setup.ini - which contains hints and is auto-gen
packages\releases\{package}\{package}.tar.bz2 - package files

Re: Failure of 'setup.exe': Rational Rose path stuff, blue screen of death.
I just tried cd'ing from a Win2K command prompt to the directory of
Cygwin's 'setup.exe', and set the path like this:
PATH C:\WinNT\system32;C:\WinNT;C:\WinNT\system32\Wbem
Then I ran 'setup.exe' and as usual 'setup.exe' finished 99% of its task
but stopped on a postinstall file (this time, and emacs-related file).
After 'setup.exe''s usual soft hang here, I clicked cancel. There was
nothing to install in the setup, and 'setup' notified me of this. Then
the screen went black and flashed a blue screen of death and my machine
went down. I rebooted and all was fine, but still same Cygwin
performance problem (3 minutes between commands).

bash --login -i

and I also tried this in my .bashrc (all one line):

and still the same problem: a three minute wait between shell commands.
Should I try to re-install, setting the PATH in such a way that the
install would complete correctly (that is my original symptom)? If so,
how would I do this?
Thank you very much.

dllwrap fails to find last exported symbol alphabetically
A problem now seen by two of us with recent Cygwin installations: mine was updated to `current' status last week. However, I don't think this is new since I've been seeing it on my own setup for a while. Zsh uses `dllwrap --export-all-symbols' to link against it's own DLL's. On the systems in question, dllwrap failed to identify the last symbol exported from the main dll (zsh.dll) against which all the other DLL's are linked. The symbol in question is `zwarnnam'; we've verified it really is the last symbol by adding a dummy one later in the alphabet, and the problem goes away. (This is an easy workaround so consequently finding a real fix isn't a high priority for us.) It sounds like if this is fundamental lots of people would have fallen over it, but I've no idea what else might be relevant. Anyway, on systems where it does trigger, it will show up by downloading zsh 4.2.0 from ftp://ftp.zsh.org/pub/ and trying to compile with default options. You will see warnings about failures to find the symbol zwarnnam when linking DLL's. (The failure seen by users is a crash on an attempt to print warning messages form libraries. Running `vared nonexistentvar' form the installed shell will do this.) We haven't narrowed it down any further. If you (the Cygwin people) need more information, it's probably best to prod [EMAIL PROTECTED] (this list runs qconfirm but you only need to confirm once). -- Peter Stephenson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Software Engineer CSR Ltd., Science Park, Milton Road, Cambridge, CB4 0WH, UK Tel: +44 (0)1223 692070 ** The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.

Try running it under strace and see where it's taking it's time. This might
take some effort on your part to sift through and interpret the strace
output but it will usually point a finger at the culprit.

This last one in particular makes me wonder if the Rational tools you have
installed maybe include or are based around the Mortice Kern Systems Unix
toolset. It's a well-known problem that if you try and run cygwin while
having MKS tools in the $PATH they can sometimes clash. I'd want to start a
dos command shell, then remove all the crud and set a minimal $PATH, and try
again: something like this at the command prompt might work...
---snip---
cd C:\cygwin
PATH C:\WinNT\system32;C:\WinNT;C:\WinNT\system32\Wbem
bash --login -i
---snip---
Hmm... I suspect that it takes this long to determine the hostname of your
machine.
Did you notice that it's the same as his $LOGONSERVER? It shouldn't take
that long to look up a hostname when you're logged on directly at the
keyboard of the domain controller.
But of all the environment variables, I think this is the one that's doing
the most damage:
---snip from cygcheck.out---
SHELL = `C:\PROGRA~1\RATIONAL\RATION~1\NUTCROOT\mksnt\sh.exe'
---snip---
Ouch. So everytime Cygwin bash tries to fork a subprocess, it launches it
using MKS sh. No wonder it loses!
---snip from cygcheck.out---
TERM = `nutc'
---snip---
Wouldn't have thought cygwin would make much sense of that either.
cheers, DaveK

Re: dllwrap fails to find last exported symbol alphabetically
On Thu, 25 Mar 2004, Peter Stephenson wrote: A problem now seen by two of us with recent Cygwin installations: mine was updated to `current' status last week. However, I don't think this is new since I've been seeing it on my own setup for a while. Zsh uses `dllwrap --export-all-symbols' to link against it's own DLL's. This should be corrected. I'd changed the Cygwin port to use 'gcc -shared -Wl,--export-all-symbols' specifically to address export symbol and other loader related issues under Cygwin. Apparently my changes never made it back into the source. I'll have to see why. On the systems in question, dllwrap failed to identify the last symbol exported from the main dll (zsh.dll) against which all the other DLL's are linked. The symbol in question is `zwarnnam'; we've verified it really is the last symbol by adding a dummy one later in the alphabet, and the problem goes away. (This is an easy workaround so consequently finding a real fix isn't a high priority for us.) It sounds like if this is fundamental lots of people would have fallen over it, but I've no idea what else might be relevant. Don't know. I've only recently pulled it and started my porting. I'll figure out what's happening and feed back. Anyway, on systems where it does trigger, it will show up by downloading zsh 4.2.0 from ftp://ftp.zsh.org/pub/ and trying to compile with default 4.2.0 has only been out for a few days. Gimme a little time! I'll get to the bottom of this. options. You will see warnings about failures to find the symbol zwarnnam when linking DLL's. (The failure seen by users is a crash on an attempt to print warning messages form libraries. Running `vared nonexistentvar' form the installed shell will do this.) We haven't narrowed it down any further.

Strange problem wiith Cygwin ssh
Hi, I'm new to this list...and Cygwin, so sorry if this is an old problem...bit iguess there's no better place to get cygwin answers than this list :-) Here's my problem- I have 2 Win2K Adv Server machine with NTFS drives running Cygwin. sshd is running on both.CYGWIN=ntsec. I have run ssh-keygen to generate keys and have set up to be able to log in without password... I CAN log in and run most programs like cmd etc, but running a certain setup.exe fails with $?=67However if i use password authentication instead of the keys for ssh, setup.exe runs successfully...Note however that both ways of authentication allow me to run other programs...the user i use is part of Administrators and can log in as service and act as part of OS on both machines... I then tried creating a local user who is only part of Users and tried running setup.exe from that id. It failed with error 67 again. This leads me to believe there is some problem with the RSA authenticationHere is what i did to set up password-less login - On one machine , i ran ssh-keygen -t rsa -P . then copied id_rsa.pub to authorized_keys and copied the 3 files to ~/.ssh directory... Also copied ALL THREE files to ~/.ssh for same user on the other machine... Also, StrictHostKeyChecking is set to no in ~/.ssh/config file. Thanks in advance for your help. __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Dear all,
I have a question. Im on a project which involves LipSync on
Linux. Now, in the final phase, we're porting it to Windows. We're curious
to know how to create binary packages like tar.bz2 files. I took the
URL:http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/ptolemyII/ptII2.0/cygwin.htm
and used
http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/ptolemyII/ptII2.0/cygwinBasic.exe
This file unzipped to a setup.exe file
packages\setup.ini - which contains hints and is auto-gen
packages\releases\{package}\{package}.tar.bz2 - package files
Now for our project, if we need say, bash, less, and some more utils and
my own package, how can we make setup see those files? Could you point me
to some tutorial? http://cygwin.com/setup.html isnt clear in a step by
step fashion.
Thanks in advance
PS: If its been asked in the past,excuse my ignorance but please point me
to the link.
Actually, things very much like this have been asked in the past so there's
a page that talks about creating setup servers. You should be able to get
a feel for what you need from this and other docs on setup and it's format.
