 Perhaps this should be moved to cygwin-apps (which Brian, as all other

 we're on the subject of Apache: maybe it's time to revisit the apache
 postinstall procedure (both the rebase issue and the /var/www one).
 FWIW, one idea on the latter is splitting out the documents into a
 separate package (apache-docs?), installing over the manual, and using
 postinstall to set up the index.html.* files if they aren't present.
 This way, cygcheck -c won't be confused by the apache packages anymore.
 I can elaborate if there's interest.

Yes, I'd planned to redo all that.  The manual will go into
/usr/share/doc/apache so that it can be sanely upgraded, instead of in
the docroot next to the user's stuff.  Also use a postinstall to copy
over sample config if not exists, instead of this /etc/apache.new
business.

The other thing that needs attention is this libphp4.dll and rebasing. 
It's really ugly currently: the dll is included in the package as
/usr/lib/apache/new/libphp4.dll and copied over manually by apxs in the
postinstall, which also tries to rebase.  Both will fail if there's an
existing (in-use) dll, and it also means the package manifest is wrong,
causing cygcheck to always report a broken package.  What I'd really
like to do is let setup.exe deal with replacing the dll if it's in use,
and relocate libphp4.dll before packaging to work with the default set
of libs so no rebase is necessary.  Then it's just a matter of adding
the LoadModule lines to httpd.conf in postinstall if they're not there
already.

No, not in the test window. In the test window I do get these events.
Problem is, though, I do not get  them in applicationms'

on your part would be to say something like :Ok. No

it does work out from other X-servers for Win32 out of the box. So I

Combination of Windows based GUI and Cygwin.

Hi all,

I need suggestion about following topic.
I have Fortran90 codes which is working fine in
cygwin-X. What i need to do is i want to connect those
codes with windows based GUI. What GUI does is just
creating INPUT file. I want INPUT file to use in
cygwin in background(users dont know about cygwin) and
give output files. My problem is how to make cygwin
run in background from GUI, is it possible?. If it is
then what is the best way to do it. Cygwin-X is
necessary because results are in form of some plots
which needs to be plotted in gnuplot or can be view in
gs/gv combination.

Plese help me
Thanks.

A common problem is not to check for special modifiers like num or scroll
lock. Or they only expect a two button mouse. 

You could also try xev with Cygwin/X and the other xserver and check where
the output differs.

Do you see an X icon in your systray?  X did get started, but the
default mode is now multiwindow (as evidenced by the above log snippet),
and you won't see a root window.  Just open your X apps as usual.  If you
want a root window, use startx -- :0 (or something of the sort, someone
will surely correct me if I'm wrong).

Three monitors and repainting...

2004-05-27 Thread Henrik Schmiediche

 Hello,
I have three monitors (WinXP Pro):

   1 - 2 - 3

where 2 is the primary monitor (desktop) and 3 is driven by a old PCI based
VGA card. 1  2 are driven by the same AGP card. When I start an xterm, it
always loads on monitor 1 and everything seems to work. When I move that
xterm to monitors 2 or 3 it stops repainting (goes white).

Wait! You are about to tell me about -multiplemonitors. That works only if I
disable monitor 3. If I have extended/activated the monitor 3 desktop
repainting on both monitors 2 and 3 is disabled, regardless of the presence
of the -multiplemonitor switch. 

Is this a known problem? Alternatively, does anyone have this configuration
working, so I know the fault is my setup, not cygwin? Is there a work
around?

Another data point: If I disable monitor 3 and start XWin on multiple
monitors, it works and both monitors 1  2. If I then enable monitor 3, it
continues to work on 1  2, but not 3. If I start Xwin with all three
monitors enabled, only monitor 1 repainting works.

Hope that makes sense.
 
 - Henrik

XWin on Larger Secondary Monitor?

2004-05-27 Thread Sean O'Boyle
Hello,

I'm running a weird configuration and would like to see if anyone has this
working.

I have a laptop with a secondary monitor.  The primary (laptop screen) is
1400 x 1050.  The secondary monitor is a larger 1600 x 1200.

I'd like to launch xwin on the secondary monitor such that the root window
fills the screen.  Can anyone tell me how to do this?  The closest that I
could get was to run in -multimonitor mode - but that filled both of my
screens with a giant root window.

Currently I'm settling with running XWin on the primary monitor and moving
it to the secondary.  So it fills *most* of the screen...

This is the Cygwin/X list.  Since your problem is not Cygwin/X related, it

But, before you post there, please read:

You could temporarilly make the secondary monitor the primary one via the

You might also try using -screen screen_number width height

Cygwin doesn't run in background.  Cygwin is a DLL that you link to
applications.

If your Windows GUI just creates an input file, why can't your Cygwin
program read that file?

 If it is then what is the best way to do it.

I think you need to explain what you want in much greater detail.  It is
unclear to me that Cygwin/X is even involved in the question.

 Cygwin-X is necessary because results are in form of some plots which

Ok, but how does that relate to making your Windows GUI interact with your
Cygwin Fortran code via an input file?

I'm lost.

monitors, it works and both monitors 1  2. If I then enable monitor 3, it
continues to work on 1  2, but not 3. If I start Xwin with all three
monitors enabled, only monitor 1 repainting works.
   

Hm, This is an unusual configuration. I doubt someone has tried that before.
Anyway, I'll take a look and see if I can find some hints what's wrong.
 

I think I posted this before.  I use two monitors and it does not work.
Monitor 1 on the right is the primary monitor (a notebook).
The resoultion is 1600x1200.
Monitor 2 on the left is the secondary monitor, which is 1280x1024.
To be short, all of the x-windows can only repaint correctly if they 
were totally within
1600 pixels starting from the left-most end of Monitor 2.

In this new lab of mine (which is very rich) even the students have 
two monitors.
I am going to teach them C++ since June, and I shall ask them to install 
cygwin
I hope that by that time they will not be puzzled by this behavior of cygwin
on dual monitors.

Best wishes,
K.K.Liang



Re: XWin listens on too many TCP ports and killing existing connections.

2004-05-27 Thread Caphe Noir
Ago -

Looks like the -multiwindow option is the one
causing the listening ports.

Something interesting, when running without the
multiwindow option.  I
tried to run sawfish (window manager), after which,
sawfish is the one that
spawns the listening sockets every second just like
XWin did.

  Does it have something to do with not launching from an rc file?
 
 Excuse me? rc files are /configuration/ files...

problem with cygwin crypt function

2004-05-27 Thread bertrand marquis
Hello
  
   i need to use the cygwin crypt function to compare the result with 
the result of the linux string function.

Under linux i crypt the string with a salt and then i have to remove the 
first characters to remove the salt from the result string.
But under cygwin it seems that i only have a 13 char string with no salt 
at the beginning and this result string is completely different from the 
linux result string with the same input.

Does anyone know a way to solve that

I am trying to link my program to the dll and getting undefined reference error where 
as the same thing works if I try in linux environment.

when I try to list the symbols from the dll it returns nothing.
When I try to list the symbos from the library file it returns the symbol for the 
function I am looking for.

I want to know is there any way I can use g++ to link using the library file rather 
than the dll I rememeber in Microsoft Visual c++ we specifiy library file rather than 
dll).


I went through the mailing list and could not found any relevant requirement.


I appreciate ur help in solving my problem.

RE: cron problem with authentication

 Sent: 27 May 2004 10:07

 I have a situation where, on the windows side, cron is running as user
 'mqdisp'.

 The PS shows that cron is running as SYSTEM, 

 I hope the above better explains my problem.

  Not exactly!

 On the cywin side, mqdisp is the user that
 is trying to run the cron job that attaches to MQ Series.

  AYS?  I take it you say this because you were logged in as that user when
you ran crontab?

 BTW, is there some way that I can login as 'system'? This 
 might provide a way around this problem.

  Also not exactly!

  Heh.  Let me be clearer.  It seems to me that you want cron to run as user
mqdisp rather than user SYSTEM.  SYSTEM is a local account; it has utmost
(rooter-than-root) priviliges on your local machine but it's not a member of
the domain and has no access rights there.

  [754] MQSeries

   The Object Authority Manager received inconsistent data - 
 the supplied SID doe
 s not match that of the supplied entity information.
   Ensure that the application is supplying valid entity and 
 SID information.

  Yep, that's mqdisp's sid, not SYSTEM's.

 35655697-1343024091-1007:/home/mqdisp:/bin/bash

  I think the real question is, did you use the --user and --passwd options
to cygrunsrv when you installed crond?  This tells cygrunsrv to use the
windoze 'RunAs' service to start crond as the user you choose.

Umm hate to throw this in but
you can start sshd (and presumably cron although i've never tried,) as

if you install and use the sysv init package and install it as a service

this is how i run sshd and xinet on my laptop. however it takes a bit more
work for no great gain.

i have a bash script to recurse and remove directories with names of lpt,

warez group had created a directory structure about 20 deep with this kind

My understanding is that the Cygwin port of Apache 1.x is also 
significantly slower than the native Apache 1.x but this didn't stop 
people from wanting a Cygwin version of 1.x. Or is there something in 
2.x (this thread MPM thing) that would make a Cygwin port of Apache 2.x 
much, much slower than the native one?

RE: cron problem with authentication

  I admit that I know little or nothing about either Windows security
  or how cygwin interacts with it.
  
  Thanks for any comments on this
 
 
  In the default installation, the user doing the su (as you refer to
  it) is the SYSTEM user.  The SYSTEM user has no access to remote SMB
  shares. So your idea doesn't work because it assumes something that
  isn't true.
 
  One possible alternative is to run cron as the user you want to run
  jobs as.  I don't recall, off-the-top-of-my-head, whether cron assumes
  that it will run as SYSTEM and, if so, this approach probably wouldn't
  work without changing the code.  Another alternative might be to use a
  service which allows accessing remote directories without requiring
  Windows authentication (i.e. not SMB).

 Larry, first, thanks for taking the time to respond. Possibly I do not
 understand your comments, but I am confused by the reference to shares.
 I have a situation where, on the windows side, cron is running as user
 'mqdisp'. This user is a member of the mqm group (required for MQ Series)
 and is an Administrator with permissions to log in as a service and to act
 as part of the Operating System. On the cywin side, mqdisp is the user that
 is trying to run the cron job that attaches to MQ Series. My event log is
 showing me the following:

  [754] MQSeries
Type: WARNING
Computer: TEST1
Time: 2004/05/27 10:50:14   ID:   8074
 Authorization failed as the SID 'S-1-5-21-776561741-1935655697-1343024091-1007' does 
 not match the entity 'system'.
   The Object Authority Manager received inconsistent data - the supplied SID does 
 not match that of the supplied entity information.
   Ensure that the application is supplying valid entity and SID information.

 While /etc/passwd has the following:

 SYSTEM:*:18:544:,S-1-5-18::
 mqdisp:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:1007:513:mqdisp,U-TEST1\mqdisp,S-1-5-21-776561741-1935655697-1343024091-1007:/home/mqdisp:/bin/bash

 The PS shows that cron is running as SYSTEM, and it seems that it is trying
 to use mqdisp's credentials to authenticate system.

 I hope the above better explains my problem.

Did you look at http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#NTSEC-SETUID?

 BTW, is there some way that I can login as 'system'? This might provide a
 way around this problem.

There is, but I doubt it'd be helpful.  That said, Google for
system-owned shell cygwin.

 Thanks for any input to this

Just try what's already been suggested -- run the cron daemon as mqdisp
(if that's the only thing you're using cron for) by using the --user and
--passwd options to cygrunsrv.

2004-05-27 Thread Rolf Campbell
First, this is not a regression to any recent cygwin (it has been a 
problem for a while (I've tried it on every snapshot as they came out 
for the past 2 months), I know it did work is 1.3.17, but I also know 
that is not terribly useful info).

I finally produced a test case that exhibited the problem.  This should 
look familiar to some of you, it's the old make -j test, but it's been 
modified (cause the original test did not show this problem).

I'm running a WinXP, P4-2.6GHz(HT) machine.  It takes a while to fail

redirection can create nul files - Was: rm hangs on illegal filename nul

2004-05-27 Thread Volker Quetschke
Hi Dave,
I somehow managed to create a file named nul (further investigation
pending), and now rm -rf hangs when trying to remove the 
directory with
this file.
  Known ('doze) problem.  Also occurs with filenames like aux, com1, lpt
etc.  The workaround is WDDTT.
No, wrong, the problem arises from cygwins new ability to create
filenames named nul.
Binary mount. Try:
$ echo hello  nul
when you do this with 1.5.10 you get a nice file named nul, 1.5.9
just ignores it. Yes, you're perfectly right, don't do it when it
hurts, but I stubled over this problem because the software I'm
compiling has (now obviously) broken build scripts, and now I have
a few undeletable files on my harddisk.
In my previous mail I said rm -rf nul can remove the file, no,
when you provide the complete path rm just doesn't complain/hang.
Any ideas how to remove the nul files? Really, I don't want to
format my disk because of this.

You can fool NTFS into not doing reserve-word checking with:
DEL \\.\c:\somedir\nul
You propably have to use the correct quotes, or use cmd.exe,
like I did.

You're correct that 1.x also suffers a performance penalty compared to
the native win32 version.  However 1.x can only operate in the prefork
mode which is not suitable to Windows since process creation is
relatively expensive.  Thus both versions are pokey.  However, with the
advent of 2.x the method of allocating workers is modular (the MPM) and
so you can choose to have them as threads or as the old prefork style,
among others.  With threads the performance under Windows is much
improved.  I suspect (but have not tested) that the Cygwin overhead
would be even more apparent in that case, because 2.x has been
specifically designed to get good performance under win32 natively,
whereas 1.x was never intended for such systems.

As far as I know the popularity of Cygwin Apache is for developing and
testing web applications that will eventually reside on unix servers. 
In that department 1.x is more popular by a huge margin due to its
stability, known quirks, and ability to work well with non-thread-safe
PHP extensions (as well as general stubbornness of sysadmins who avoid
2.x.)  Thus demand for 1.x/Cygwin should naturally be much higher as
well.  If you're actually interested in running a server then the native
version is probably better.

 BTW: Thanks for volunteering for this. Does this mean that a Cygwin
 version of mod_php would be working again?

Yes, I intend to do that.

Re: Looking for new apache maintainer

Andrew DeFaria wrote:
My understanding is that the Cygwin port of Apache 1.x is also 
significantly slower than the native Apache 1.x but this didn't stop 
people from wanting a Cygwin version of 1.x. Or is there something in 
2.x (this thread MPM thing) that would make a Cygwin port of Apache 
2.x much, much slower than the native one?
You're correct that 1.x also suffers a performance penalty compared to 
the native win32 version. However 1.x can only operate in the prefork 
mode which is not suitable to Windows since process creation is 
relatively expensive. 
When you start Apache you can specify how many subprocesses to run. Thus 
start up can be expensive. And I know that Apache will start new 
processes if need be - presumably if you have a lot of hits. But for us 
relatively low hit guys I think we can live with the once in a while 
[re]startup costs of Apache and the occasional additional sluggishness 
when Apache needs to allocate another subprocess on those rare times 
when our site is getting a lot of hits.

Thus both versions are pokey. However, with the advent of 2.x the 
method of allocating workers is modular (the MPM) and so you can 
choose to have them as threads or as the old prefork style, among 
others. With threads the performance under Windows is much improved. I 
suspect (but have not tested) that the Cygwin overhead
would be even more apparent in that case, because 2.x has been 
specifically designed to get good performance under win32 natively, 
whereas 1.x was never intended for such systems.
Would you suspect that you could get Apache 2.x to use threads under Cygwin?
As far as I know the popularity of Cygwin Apache is for developing and 
testing web applications that will eventually reside on unix servers.  
In that department 1.x is more popular by a huge margin due to its 
stability, known quirks, and ability to work well with non-thread-safe 
PHP extensions (as well as general stubbornness of sysadmins who avoid 
2.x.) 
Win 98 is still wildly more popular than NT+ versions. People are slow 
and reluctant to change. That shouldn't stop progress though IMHO.

Thus demand for 1.x/Cygwin should naturally be much higher as well. If 
you're actually interested in running a server then the native version 
is probably better.
'Cept for ease of configuration (OK, it's not that more difficult in the 
native version) and the part I like, the ability to symlink things which 
the native version lacks.

I had run my site on XP using Cygwin and Apache. For a while I ran the 
native version. Then switched to the Cygwin version, then eventually to 
the native version to use 2.x. Then I got a Linux box and stuck a 200 
Gig drive in it. The pull of having that much web space available and 
reliability of Linux and my just feeling more comfortable with the 
Unix/Linux environment made it a natural decision to migrate to Linux 
and use Apache 2.x there so that's what I have now. And with it I've 
been able to configure mod_php (and prefer that environment my web 
development) and even WebDAV which I use in conjunction with Mozilla's 
remote calenders as well as use some Linux/PHP style web apps like 
Gallery and MovableType effortlessly.

But often, at work, the client has only Windows boxes. The ability to 
install Cygwin and get Apache running on Cygwin allows me to quickly 
develop useful web apps and other things for the client, often amazing 
them that their Windows boxes can do such things! Hence my interest in 
getting Apache and mod_php working under Cygwin again and having a 2.x 
environment would be best as it closely emulates my home environment 
where I often work out ideas, etc. Alas my current client has become 
pigheaded and has disallowed the usage of unauthorized software such 
as Cygwin so currently I'm stuck. But I'm hoping that will change.

BTW: Thanks for volunteering for this. Does this mean that a Cygwin 
version of mod_php would be working again?
Yes, I intend to do that.
Cool!

Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: cygwin-1.5.10-2

2004-05-27 Thread philippe.torche(no_spam)
Good work,
But still have race problems with multi-cpu engine.
Run my run_t.sh, which runs 5 t.sh. And see if the 5 output log
(t_1.log, t_2.log, ...) still grows. After a short period of time ( 10
sec) one or more process sleeps.
Another point, with one-cpu engine, if I'm typing CTRL-C then running
run_t.sh, I've receive sometimes ( 1/2) two different errors :
1. One or more : C:\cygwin\usr\local\bin\bash.exe (1348): *** fork:
can't reserve memory for stack 0x3 - 0x23, Win32 error 487
2. One or more : See GPF.png (bug in basename maybe)
Yes I known, you don't have multi-cpu engine !
But for all, keep in mind that *cygwin don't like multi-cpu engine* !
Have a nice day, Philippe.

The good news is that, since I didn't update things such that
setup.exe would grab the latest version of cygwin, 1.5.10 was not
actually available to anyone.  So, I'm taking the unusual precedent of
rolling a cygwin-1.5.10-2.
So, if you are a brave soul who installs packages without the benefit
of setup.exe hold off installing cygwin 1.5.10-1 until you see a new
announcement.  Otherwise, just wait and I'll have things sorted out
in a couple of hours.

There is a new version of cygwin wending its way through the mirrors
now.  When you run setup, if you see 1.5.10-2 being selected everything
should work fine.

Re: redirection can create nul files - Was: rm hangs on illegal filename nul

2004-05-27 Thread Volker Quetschke
Hi Igor,
A couple more datapoints:
- You can also create nul by touch nul.
- You can use forward slashes, so rm //./c:/somedir/nul works.
- For me (on Win2k SP3), rm nul doesn't hang, but doesn't do anything
  either.
Here neither, but rm -rf somedir hangs.

Ditto.

Perhaps this should be moved to cygwin-apps (which Brian, as all other
maintainers, will have to subscribe to anyway), but one more point while
we're on the subject of Apache: maybe it's time to revisit the apache
postinstall procedure (both the rebase issue and the /var/www one).
FWIW, one idea on the latter is splitting out the documents into a
separate package (apache-docs?), installing over the manual, and using
postinstall to set up the index.html.* files if they aren't present.
This way, cygcheck -c won't be confused by the apache packages anymore.
I can elaborate if there's interest.

  Are you really claiming that it won't let you move the cursor to after the

quoted text from the top of the message to the bottom?  Yet it does let you
edit the quoted text enough to delete some and replace it with the word

Yes, I'd planned to redo all that.  The manual will go into
/usr/share/doc/apache so that it can be sanely upgraded, instead of in
the docroot next to the user's stuff.  Also use a postinstall to copy
over sample config if not exists, instead of this /etc/apache.new
business.

The other thing that needs attention is this libphp4.dll and rebasing. 
It's really ugly currently: the dll is included in the package as
/usr/lib/apache/new/libphp4.dll and copied over manually by apxs in the
postinstall, which also tries to rebase.  Both will fail if there's an
existing (in-use) dll, and it also means the package manifest is wrong,
causing cygcheck to always report a broken package.  What I'd really
like to do is let setup.exe deal with replacing the dll if it's in use,
and relocate libphp4.dll before packaging to work with the default set
of libs so no rebase is necessary.  Then it's just a matter of adding
the LoadModule lines to httpd.conf in postinstall if they're not there
already.

cygwin and scsi tape drive.

2004-05-27 Thread Marc Schare
Dear List:  
 
I've been trying to get my SCSI tape drive to work under Windows/XP Home 
Edition and CYGWIN and having absolutely no luck. My tape drive is recognized 
as an other device so Windows is clearly aware of it. I have CYGWIN Version 
1.5.10.3 (which should be the latest) and MT package Version 2.3. 
 
When I do a mount command, I get: 
 
bash: /etc/profile: line 185: syntax error: unexpected end of file

c: on /cygdrive/c type user (binmode,noumount)

Which looks right to me, and when I try various flavors of mt, I get:

I am able to umount the drive, but when I try to mount it again, I get:

Re: GCC 3.3.1 problem with printf %Lg %Lg and -m128bit-long-double compile option

2004-05-27 Thread Gerrit P. Haase
Hallo mathias,


 GCC 3.3.1 has a problem when printing multiple long double variables using
 printf and the  -m128bit-long-double compile option on a Pentium-based
 machine.

Seems to be a bug in gcc, for bug reporting instructions, please see:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html.


 compile the code below with 

  gcc  -m128bit-long-double  test.c

 and with

 gcc  test.c

 The later will print stuff correctly in both printf statements, whereas
 the former will print fine only as long as the printf statement contains a
 single  long double variable only, but will issue garbage when printing
 more than one long double variable in the same printf statement.

 #include stdlib.h
 #include stdio.h
 #include string.h
 #include math.h

 int
 main( int argc, char *argv[] )
 {
   long double first_long_double_variable = 5.6;
   long double second_long_double_variable = 9.3;

   printf (here comes a long double %Lg\n, first_long_double_variable);
   printf (here come TWO long doubles %Lg %Lg\n, 
 first_long_double_variable, second_long_double_variable);

 }

Please don't send cygcheck output inline an email, send it as

dll version collision

2004-05-27 Thread Michael Hale
Hi,
Is it possible to recompile a subset of the cygwin binaries to depend 
on cygwin1.dll renamed to something like build_cygwin1.dll?  How would 
I go about doing this?

The reason that I want to do this is because the developers at our site 
use the cygwin console for development, and our build process depends 
on certain cygwin files.  I would like to be able to keep all the 
cygwin stuff that the build needs in our repository so that all 
developers will have a consistent environment, but I obviously can't 
have multiple versions of cygwin1.dll on a machine.   My thought was to 
recompile the tools needed by the build process linked to 
build_cygwin1.dll.

Windows

This is a quite often-discussed topic, but there is not much info in the

No disrespect intended Mr. GCC maintainer, but I'm pretty sure that is
expected behavior.  See info gcc in the -m128bit-long-double section:

 *Warning:* if you override the default value for your target ABI,
 the structures and arrays containing `long double' will change
 their size as well as function calling convention for function
 taking `long double' will be modified.  Hence they will not be
 binary compatible with arrays or structures in code compiled
 without that switch.

Cygwin/newlib would need to be recompiled with this switch for proper
printf operation.  Why are you trying to use this switch, Mathias?

Some comments:

 archives. All I could understand is:

It is possible, but non-trivial.  Take a look at how the Cygwin testsuite
runs.  However, you shouldn't do this unless you know exactly what you're
doing.

 * One needs at least to rename the library and use different registry
   entries and shared memory areas in different versions; perhaps

That's pretty much it, IIRC.  You can even share the mounts/registry
entries.

   the old patch, it would be a great starting point without duplicating

One way to have Cygwin automatically modify the shared memory area name is
to compile it with debugging (by passing the --enable-debugging flag to
configure).  The trick here is that once you have such a cygwin1.dll,
you'll have to spawn the process that uses it via Windows mechanisms,
rather than Cygwin's own fork.  Again, take a look at the testsuite
scripts, in particular the cygrun.c file, or just run it from a
shortcut or the cmd console.

 I'm also interested in this kind of setup, but unfortunately, I haven't
 got much time for this. If you are going to work on this, I could also
 contribute some bits.

 With kind regards,
 Baurjan.

I repeat: you really should know what you're doing before you attempt
this.  I can't emphasize this enough.  But it *is* possible.

To the OP: why not simply have an internal Cygwin mirror and make sure
everyone has the same version of Cygwin on their machine?

fix an operational problem and sometimes, well... because we've 
introduced a bug.

With regard to differing behavior from some flavor of UNIX: UNIXes vary 
in their behavior and Cygwin is basically a different flavor of UNIX. 
This is particularly true of programs which rely on specific malloc 
behavior, like being able to free a pointer twice or being able to 
access memory after freeing.

Another common problem is attempting to modify the contents of a C 
string. On Cygwin (and many UNIXes) strings are stored in read-only 
memory. So, it is not possible to modify them. You can change this 
behavior with the gcc option -fwritable-strings but we suggest that it 
is better to change your program.

Note that, It worked in a previous version of cygwin observations are 
only relevant for modern versions of cygwin. The B series versions of 
Cygwin (B17, B18, B19, B20) are not modern versions. Save your fingers 
and don't even bother with comments about your experiences with these 
versions.

Many people seem to latch onto the fact that their issues do not seem to 
occur in other versions of UNIX or Cygwin and mention this in all

If I have a ssh connection from a cygwin session to another machine, applications

Once the ssh connection is closed, the application starts right away.
Not all application are blocked.

Is this a known problems?


No.  See:

ssmtp fail with cygwin-1.5.10-3 ?

2004-05-27 Thread haro
Hi list,

After updating to cygwin-1.5.10-3, ssmtp package seems to fail
for reasons beyond my understaing.
I get follwoing error two event messages, in a row, in Window's
event-log.

  sSMTP : PID 391 : Unable to locate xxx.xx.kgt.co.jp.

  sSMTP : PID 391 : Cannot open xxx.xx.kgt.co.jp:25.

By downgrading back to cygwin-1.5.9-1, things seems to come back
to normal.

Everything else seems be just fine with both 1.5.10-3 and 1.5.9-1.

FYI, uname output are:
CYGWIN_NT-4.0 wbbrown 1.5.9(0.112/4/2) 2004-03-18 23:05 i686 unknown unknown Cygwin

Anything else to try?

Thanks in advance,
  Haro

convert windows path to cygwin path in emacs

2004-05-27 Thread Arthur Davis
I've found that I can drag and drop files onto a shortcut to emacsclient and
the file will open in emacs - well sort of...  Actually, it gives me a new
buffer named the windows pathname.  For instance, if I drag c:\path\file.txt
onto my shortcut, I get a new buffer named c:\path\file.txt.  It would seem
like an easy task to add a hook for opening a file that would look for
filenames of this form and convert them to /cygdrive/c/path/file.txt.
However, I'm not a lisp programmer and don't know where to start.  Has
anyone done this already?  Any pointers?

Thanks,
Arthur

Re: convert windows path to cygwin path in emacs

2004-05-27 Thread haro
Hi,

There is emacs-lisp file called 'cygwin-mount.el' on the net.
I use it with my Meadow (emacs20 + Mule for Win32) and works
pretty well.

Hope this helps,
 Haro

Re: convert windows path to cygwin path in emacs

2004-05-27 Thread haro
Oops, sorry.
I've read your message, the-other-way-around. 
cygwin-mount.el converts, '/cygdrive/c/some/where' into 'c:/some/where'.

# it may give you a hint on how to program it your self... ;-)

Sorry again,
 Haro
