Hi! Using the setup.exe 2.457.2.2 the program is hanging if the window is moved while MD5-checking the packages. Steps to reproduce: 1. start setup.exe 2. click Next 3. Select Install from Local Directory 4. click Next 5. Root Dir: C:\prg\cygwin Install For All Users Default Text File Type: Unix click Next 6. Click Next 7. When the Checking MD5 for ... appears raise an other window on top of the setup's window, changing back and the setup is frozen. Op. Sys.: Windows XP SP2 HUN NMarci
mkcramfs mkfs.jffs2 packages
Hi all, I had to port those two tools for Cygwin to help my customer develop his embedded Linux application in the Cygwin environment. Since I sometimes see on the mailing-list people asking for those tools I though my work may help other guys out there. Here the description of both of the packages: mkcramfs setup.hint: --- category: Devel requires: cygwin sdesc: A tool to create CRAMFS filesystem images conform to Linux. ldesc: A tool to create CRAMFS filesystem images conform to Linux. Can be used to create embedded (root)filesystem images. mkfsjffs2 setup.hint: category: Devel requires: cygwin sdesc: A tool to create JFFS2 filesystem images conform to Linux. ldesc: A tool to create JFFS2 filesystem images conform to Linux. Can be used to create embedded (root)filesystem images. Unfortunately I have no time to maintain those packages. The most part of the work is to assure the compatibility of the image with Linux filesystems drivers. I'll upload the packages on *ftp.siemens.de* FTP Server, they will be downloadable from the directory *incoming* (non browsable) accessible with *anonymous* login (no password). Here the names of the packages: mkcramfs-20050329-1-src.tar.bz2 mkcramfs-20050329-1.tar.bz2 mkfsjffs2-20050329-1-src.tar.bz2 mkfsjffs2-20050329-1.tar.bz2 The packages will stay there available 2 days for download. If the transfer can't be done during this time just ask me to upload them again. I hope those packages will be accepted by the maintainers. I would be pleased to become any suggestion or idea to improve those packages in case they can't be released in the actual stand. Best Regards, Marion Deveaud

Start Cygwin/X, using run XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error (e.g. using the standard batch file). Start an xterm. Start Notepad (or some other native Win app). Start gvim.

Paste in Notepad. Result: Hello. Oops... Select something in Notepad and copy it to the clipboard. Re-select the string World in gvim. Paste in Notepad. Result: World. Now it does work... This is most likely because gvim always holds the selection. There is no clipboard in X11, just an information which application holds the selection. If an application wants to insert the selection it sends an event to the selection owner and the owner sends back the selected data. This may change between calls. The clipboard manager does not receive information that the clipboard changed, so it will insert the old string regardless of changes in the client. bye ago -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723

This happens to me all the time - I usually have to launch the X stuff 2 or 3 times before it actually works. I have to manually kill off all xterm.exe, bash.exe, and other cygwin programs in between the launches.

All of the X hints and attributes (like always-on-top) are translated to the corresponding Windows hints and attributes by the multiwindow layer. A native Windows OpenOffice.org starts with a splashscreen that I can send to the background by clicking on a different window. An X11-forwarded OOo starts with a splashscreen that stays on top no matter what. Does this mean that the Windows OOo doesn't draw its splashscreen with an always-on-top instruction? Possibly.

Re: Multiple XWin.exe programs loading and no xterm
For me, putting a pause at the end of startxwin.bat does not make it work. However, I have found something that does seem to work for me. When I launch statxwin.bat, in addition to the 2 XWin.exe processes, there is also a sh.exe process that starts which I assume is from the MS-DOS shell that the .bat is run from. Even though the shell window closes after the script finishes, the sh.exe process is still running. If I open the task manger and end the sh.exe process, the xterm pops open and the extra XWin.exe goes away. Does anyone know why this sh.exe process whould linger around or how to kill it without having to open the task manager and mouse to it every time? --- Jack Tanner [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Armbrust, Daniel C. wrote: This happens to me all the time - I usually have to launch the X stuff 2 or 3 times before it actually works.

Cygwin is certainly never meant to be built in pedantic mode and it's an annoying mess to have to care for this all the time instead of fixing the real problems.

This is no more difficult to maintain then any other attribute flags. You set it and forget it. Remove it when you remove the statement, it doesn't get easier then that. I'm not asking you to do the work of identifying issues which do not allow compiling at pedantic mode, I've already done that. I thought Corinna's intent was clear in that sentence.

However, you are assuming I am asking you to change huge amounts of code to conform to ISO standards, which is not what I'm saying. While I did make some suggestions regarding variable sized arrays, that was about the limit of the iso-correctness on my part. I am not suggesting, in any way, that -pedantic be added to the default CFLAGS. And any other changes are going to be trivial, like nixing a trailing comma in the last member of an enum. I thought Corinna's intent was clear in that sentence. Apparently you didn't. What she was saying is, for this to be done right, both of us would have to be rigorous in the future about making sure that we add decorate every extension we use, or, worse, avoid using gcc extensions which we've come to rely on. That would be annoying. I hear you loud and clear. I am not suggesting you stop using gcc extensions, nor would I. It is true that I made a minor off-the-cuff suggestion regarding variable sized arrays, but it was intended to be an opinion. As for the done right part, I would point to the other __attribute__ tags which are used to explicitly mark intentions to the compiler (e.g. unused noreturn). Looking at the ChangeLog, many of these were added long after the offending initial code was added, mostly likely during a code cleanliness sweep. Of course there is no *requirement* for the tags, as code will compile just fine without them. The point, however, of using them is to separate the true-positive warnings from the false-positive warnings. My intention is no different. So why should adding __extension__ be any different? Just add when it is noticed/needed, like the other __attribute__ tags are. However, if I am correctly interpreting your intent, it sounds like you are saying that no one but you would have to worry about sprinkling __extension__'s throughout the code and that we could just write code as we always do. Again, I'm not suggesting I be the point man on this. Like other __attribute__ tags, they can be added as needed/noticed. It's rather trivial and I don't see the implied expenditure of labor involved. You can add them or not, it won't change the way the code is compiled. Just think of it like Rusty's Janitorial patches on LKML. If that is the case, then I don't see how it matters if we check in your code or not. You'll constantly be updating things to match the latest checkins one way or the other. Constantly? I'm afraid I would disagree. As was stated before, my changes touch a very small portion of code. While Cygwin development is lively, it doesn't come close to most other projects out there. Frankly, I find the pace here rather laid-back, which is quite fine IMHO. However, if your patches are not going to be checked in, Well, I had hoped to further discuss this... then you don't have to worry about packaging up your changes for cygwin-patches, which is less work for you. I know that, I'm not sending patches that I don't want committed. Btw, the use of a ?: c is a conscious decision. Maybe I'm just old fashion and do not like a ? : c, but I don't understand why you use it, other than saving a few keystrokes. Look, aside from the fact it keeps -pedantic from producing an error, explicitly expanding to a ? a : c makes the code easier to read and the intent more clear. Just like you could write: if (a) b; else c; but... if (a) b; else c; is more readable. Wouldn't you agree? I'm not trying to tell you what to do, I just think it would be better IMHO.

It's rather trivial and I don't see the implied expenditure of labor involved. You can add them or not, it won't change the way the code is compiled. Just think of it like Rusty's Janitorial patches on LKML. Ok. Again, I don't want to worry about the use of __extension__.

keychain locking problem (Was test -f occasionally fails on sym links)
Hi All...
The reason I ask is that keychain uses
if tl_error=`ln -s $$ $lockf 21`; then
inside its takelock function as an atomic operation for creating a lock. It
then uses
if [ -f $lockf ]; then
to test for an old style lock file, and this sometimes fails (incorrectly
succeeds) and generates an error message.
From what I can find, this is expected to be an atomic operation and one of
the ways programs do file locking.
I ran into this when I did high load testing for the ssh-add hang problem.
In preparation for a keychain-service release, I provide an example, where I
only run keychain on the first launched (login) shell (which also has the
advantage of speeding things up substantially). To do this, I launch
keychain as follows
if (umask 0377; : ~/.keychain/${HOSTNAME}-keys) 2/dev/null; then
keychain --quiet ~/.ssh/identity ~/.ssh/id_dsa ~/.ssh/id_rsa
fi
and the lock file is cleaned up by the keychain-service. This does seem to
be safe (only verified by load testing under Cygwin). I found this method in
the UNIX CD Bookshelf.
So...my questions are
1) Is this a safe method?
2) Is there a better method for me to use in Cygwin?
3) Should this problem be fed to the upstream keychain maintainer?
Thanks,

No chance. Cygwin is not the OS and the OS doesn't support native symlinks
and consequentially no atomic symlink creation.

keychain --quiet ~/.ssh/identity ~/.ssh/id_dsa ~/.ssh/id_rsa

Yes, AFAICS. File creation and setting of permissions is atomic, as
long as you don't rely on ntea. But that's old stuff, just ignore it.
3) Should this problem be fed to the upstream keychain maintainer?
The symlink creation problem? If the upstream maintainer cares, sure.

Well, it is pointer and defined once and changed never there after... But they are initially defined when library is built, but then changed once you load application that is linked against library. So you actually end up having it initialized twice. Note that C(++) doesn't have concept of uninitialized data. All data is initialized to some (known) value at the time of compile. It's currently an issue because it requires changes to quite a few packages. In the past week, I had to remove const declarations from glib-2.6.3 and gtk+-2.6.4 to get them to compile. Are these changes that are uniquely required by cygwin, or are these going to be required for all gcc platforms? This is problem of Windows platform and GCC... In windows newest GCC puts constants in RDATA section, which is _read only_ for /application/. But because you have pointer to a data which should be changed (initialized) after relocation it should be writable by /application/. So this is actually one of those PITA features of Windows platform, and there is little you can do. Actually GCC should be smart enough to make decision about is const really a constant or a pointer to a data and change location of constant (in Windows platform. I don't think this applies to anywhere else). But until it GCC can do something like that, best way is to not to have constant variables that are not really constants in shared libraries. -- Jani Tiainen -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

It's currently an issue because it requires changes to quite a few packages. In the past week, I had to remove const declarations from glib-2.6.3 and gtk+-2.6.4 to get them to compile. Are these changes that are uniquely required by cygwin, or are these going to be required for all gcc platforms? -Norton I needed to apply these changes too (I'm the maintainer of glib2), I think it is required for those platforms coming with gcc in question as default compiler, yes. However, only parts where libpopt is involved where affected, the usual way oppt was used doesn't work, at least with Cygwin.

I don't have time to check, but I imagine this is just a http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#PTC. On Linux it DOES time out, but it returns -1 and errno=EAGAIN. This is an interesting choice for errno Yes, it is the correct one. (perhaps ECONNABORTED, ESHUTDOWN, ECOMM, definately not. Just because a recv timed out doesn't mean the connection is closed.

RE: OpenSSH_3.9p1 and Could not load host key
With CYGWIN=notraverse I rebooted just to make sure that the change prorogated everywhere. Also It makes no difference whether X win is active or not. Also sshd was working with a earlier version, I don't know which one, but it was after the Nov 11 Cygwin DLL 1.5.12-1 I had previously upgraded at in during Christmas time. I have the effect of random tools tips that popup unexpectedly when I run X and emacs. And I was hoping these would go away. Also in passing cygwin's X based emacs will not operate, it does not bother me since the windows one seems to work fine. ~$ cygcheck -srv Cygwin Configuration Diagnostics Current System Time: Tue Mar 29 13:32:43 2005 Windows XP Professional Ver 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 Path: C:\usr\local\bin C:\usr\X11R6\bin XS\usr\bin C:\bin C:\Program Files\Legato\nsr\bin C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\ C:\WINDOWS\system32 C:\WINDOWS C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem C:\Program Files\Support Tools\ C:\Program Files\ATI Technologies\ATI Control Panel C:\usr\X11R6\bin C:\usr\local\bin C:\bin C:\bin C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\BINN C:\PROGRA~1\COMPUT~1\SCANEN~1 C:\PROGRA~1\COMPUT~1\INOCUL~1 C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\Tools\WinNT C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\MSDev98\Bin C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\Tools C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\bin Output from C:\bin\id.exe (nontsec) UID: 11001(pjf) GID: 10545(mkgroup-l-d) 10545(mkgroup-l-d) Output from C:\bin\id.exe (ntsec) UID: 11001(pjf) GID: 10545(mkgroup-l-d) 0(root) 544(Administrators) 545(Users) 10545(mkgroup-l-d) SysDir: C:\WINDOWS\system32 WinDir: C:\WINDOWS CYGWIN = `notraverse' HOME = `C:\pjf' PWD = `/pjf' ALLUSERSPROFILE = `C:\Documents and Settings\All Users' APPDATA = `C:\Documents and Settings\pjf.THOUGHTS\Application Data' AVENGINE = `C:\PROGRA~1\COMPUT~1\SCANEN~1' CC = `gcc' CLIENTNAME = `Console' COMMONPROGRAMFILES = `C:\Program Files\Common Files' COMPUTERNAME = `WHOOPS' COMSPEC = `C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe' CYGWIN_ROOT = `c:' DISPLAY = `localhost:0.0' EXCHICONS = `C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\bin\maildsmx.dll' FP_NO_HOST_CHECK = `NO' GS_LIB = `//d/Multimedia Files/Fonts/PostScript' INCLUDE = `C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\SDK\v1.1\include\;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio \VC98\atl\include;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\mfc\include;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC9 8\include' INOCULAN = `C:\PROGRA~1\COMPUT~1\INOCUL~1' LIB = `C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\SDK\v1.1\Lib\;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\mf c\lib;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\lib' LOGNAME = `pjf' LOGONSERVER = `\\VALET' LS_COLORS = `di=1;35:*.cc=38:*.c=38:*.cpp=38:*.cxx=38:*.h=38:*.hxx=38:*.hpp=38:*.inl =38:*.tlh=38:*.inc=38:*.mac=38:*.o=1 ;32:*.txt=1:*.1st=1:*.me=1:*.nfo=1:*.log=1:*.sh=1:*~=35:*.zip=1;31:*.z=1 ;31:*.Z=1;31:*.gz=1;31:*.bz2=1;31:*.tgz=1;31:*.t ar=1;31' MAILCHECK = `0' MSDEVDIR = `C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\MSDev98' NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS = `2' OS = `Windows_NT' PATHEXT = `.COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WSF;.WSH' PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE = `x86' PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER = `x86 Family 15 Model 2 Stepping 9, GenuineIntel' PROCESSOR_LEVEL = `15' PROCESSOR_REVISION = `0209' PROGRAMFILES = `C:\Program Files' PS1 = `\e[32;47m\w\e[30;47m$ \e[30;47m\e[k' PS2 = ` ' SESSIONNAME = `Console' SHELL = `/bin/bash.exe' SHLVL = `1' SYSTEMDRIVE = `C:' SYSTEMROOT = `C:\WINDOWS' TEMP = `C:\DOCUME~1\PJF~1.THO\LOCALS~1\Temp' TERM = `cygwin' TMP = `C:\DOCUME~1\PJF~1.THO\LOCALS~1\Temp' USERDNSDOMAIN = `THOUGHTS.THINKAGE.CA' USERDOMAIN = `THOUGHTS' USERNAME = `pjf' USERPROFILE = `C:\Documents and Settings\pjf.THOUGHTS' VS71COMNTOOLS = `C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Common7\Tools\' WINDIR = `C:\WINDOWS' _ = `/bin/cygcheck' POSIXLY_CORRECT = `1' HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\Program Options HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2 (default) = `/cygdrive' cygdrive flags = 0x0020 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/ (default) = `C:\' flags = 0x0008 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/tmp (default) = `c:\tmp' flags = 0x000a HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/usr/bin (default) = `C:\/bin' flags = 0x0008 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/usr/lib (default) = `C:\/lib' flags =

apparent scheduler problem
Greetings Cygwin people! I do some work with PostgreSQL, including running the build farm. Recently after upgrading my installation of Cygwin on XP-Pro, I noticed that PostgreSQL started failing one of its regression tests. Another user with a completely fresh Cygwin installation has noticed the same thing. The test is for the stats collector, and essentially it does some work, waits a couple of seconds in a fairly brain dead busy/wait loop, and then checks to see if the stats collector has done the work we expect it to have done. Nothing much has changed in this area of Postgres, certainly not since we know a successful test was done a few weeks ago. Some experimentation has shown that the expected result now appears when we ratchet the sleep right up to around 1 minute. We are wondering if anything is known to have changed in Cygwin recently that could account for this. I regret to tell you I have no exact idea when I previously upgraded my Cygwin installation - certainly some time within the last 6 months. So, this would be something that happened not too long ago. Or as Tom Lane, PostgreSQL uber-hacker, put it: It sounds to me like the problem is that the backend executing the test script is in a tight loop (due to the half-baked implementation of sleep()) and for some reason this prevents the stats processes from running --- for a far longer period than it by rights ought to. Ask about recent changes in process scheduling policy. (I suppose that actually it's Windows doing the scheduling, but what we want to know about is cygwin changes that might have affected Windows scheduling parameters.) Any light you can shine on this would be helpful. We're certainly keen to continue to have Cygwin as a supported platform for PostgreSQL (and we'd also love it if we could do pltcl on Cygwin too, but tcl seems to be currently broken ;-( ) cheers andrew -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

Re: clamwin installs incompatible copy of cygwin1.dll
Larry Hall wrote: At 10:20 PM 3/24/2005, Brian Dessent wrote: A symlink won't work, because it's Windows own loader that searches for and loads any .DLLs called for by an .exe. Windows does not understand symlinks as they are a Cygwin thing, so you can't symlink a DLL and expect it to load. NTFS does not support symbolic links but it does support hard links, see http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/reskit/en-us/prkc_fil_baey.asp?frame=true. If the volume is NTFS, 'ln' will use this capability. On 9x or FAT it will make a copy (I think.) Right, that is what I saw. Symlink failed but hard link worked. Right. It will. It's also worth noting that hard links break again as soon as you update either clamwin or Cygwin, even on NTFS volumes. Alternatively, if you make sure that clamwin can see your Cygwin installation, it will seamlessly work through Cygwin updates. But the only way you're going to get clamwin to work seamlessly through updates of clamwin is to get clamwin's installation to change. A compelling reason to not use hard links. OK, one last attempt, in the spirit of PTC and to help fellow travelers. The existing FAQ entry at this location reads: http://cygwin.com/faq/faq_3.html#SEC50 Is it OK to have multiple copies of the DLL? You should only have one copy of the Cygwin DLL on your system. If you have multiple versions, they will conflict and cause problems. If you get the error shared region is corrupted or shared region version mismatch it means you have multiple versions of cygwin1.dll running at the same time. This could happen, for example, if you update cygwin1.dll without exiting all Cygwin apps (including inetd) beforehand. If you're trying to find multiple versions of the DLL that are causing this problem, reboot first, in case DLLs still loaded in memory are the cause. Then use the Windows System find utility to search your whole machine, not just components in your PATH (as 'type' would do) or cygwin-mounted filesystems (as Cygwin 'find' would do). Based on the information in this thread, I would suggest some variation of the following additional paragraph at the end of that text: When you find copies of cygwin1.dll remove all of them except the cygwin-installed version. As a workaround, you might be able to make the offending application work with the installed DLL by adding the cygwin bin directory to your system path environment variable. Although you could hard link the cygwin DLL into the location of the application directory containing the duplicate copy instead of changing the system path, this is not a good idea because when you update the cygwin package, that link will break and you will once again have two copies of the cygwin DLL. Hopefully, this will help fellow travelers and is in the interest of reducing the amount traffic on this list. Such common problems seem logical to me to document in the FAQ rather than wasting the OP's time and everyone on the list. If there is a place where this is already documented, the FAQ should point there. If there is interest, I am willing to take a crack at pulling together the information that is sprinkled in email threads about how to avoid trampling on existing cygwin installations. Eventually, there really should be a section in the user guide about the topic How (and how not) to create and distribute an application that depends on cygwin. I'm willing to help with that but I suspect other people can write something many times more quickly and more accurately.

I've had to deal with this little annoyance in other products by having a retry counter loop. So many consecutive recv()s of 0 length constitues a closed connection. Something like this might work here as well? If you are doing a normal blocking recv without MSG_PEEK, any return of 0 should mean a closed connection AFAIK. Unfortunately that's not true for all implementation. It's legal for a zero length data object to be sent. The network simply sends a header with no payload in it, but it's passed through the network anyways and is presented to the receiver. The receiver, which might be blocking at the time, will return from the call and get zero length data, but the connection is still valid at this point. I've seen AS/400's do just this sending zero length data to an AIX box. If the sender closes the connection normally, then subsequent calls to recv return zero with no indication that the connection is closed. Call it a bug if you want, but that's how it works. -- Brian Ford -- Peter A.

NTFS does not support symbolic links but it does support hard links, see http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/reskit/en-us/prkc_fil_baey.asp?frame=true. If the volume is NTFS, 'ln' will use this capability. On 9x or FAT it will make a copy (I think.) Right, that is what I saw. Symlink failed but hard link worked. Right. It will. It's also worth noting that hard links break again as soon as you update either clamwin or Cygwin, even on NTFS volumes. Alternatively, if you make sure that clamwin can see your Cygwin installation, it will seamlessly work through Cygwin updates. But the only way you're going to get clamwin to work seamlessly through updates of clamwin is to get clamwin's installation to change. A compelling reason to not use hard links. OK, one last attempt, in the spirit of PTC and to help fellow travelers. The existing FAQ entry at this location reads: http://cygwin.com/faq/faq_3.html#SEC50 Is it OK to have multiple copies of the DLL? You should only have one copy of the Cygwin DLL on your system. If you have multiple versions, they will conflict and cause problems. If you get the error shared region is corrupted or shared region version mismatch it means you have multiple versions of cygwin1.dll running at the same time. This could happen, for example, if you update cygwin1.dll without exiting all Cygwin apps (including inetd) beforehand. If you're trying to find multiple versions of the DLL that are causing this problem, reboot first, in case DLLs still loaded in memory are the cause. Then use the Windows System find utility to search your whole machine, not just components in your PATH (as 'type' would do) or cygwin-mounted filesystems (as Cygwin 'find' would do). Based on the information in this thread, I would suggest some variation of the following additional paragraph at the end of that text: When you find copies of cygwin1.dll remove all of them except the cygwin-installed version. As a workaround, you might be able to make the offending application work with ^ This should say will. the installed DLL by adding the cygwin bin directory to your system path environment variable. Although you could hard link the cygwin DLL into the location of the application directory containing the duplicate copy instead of changing the system path, this is not a good idea because when you update the cygwin package, that link will break and you will once again have two copies of the cygwin DLL. Hopefully, this will help fellow travelers and is in the interest of reducing the amount traffic on this list. Such common problems seem logical to me to document in the FAQ rather than wasting the OP's time and everyone on the list. If there is a place where this is already documented, the FAQ should point there. Beyond the email archives, no this isn't documented anywhere. Judging by the previous responses to adding something like this to the FAQ, for reasons already covered, I doubt this will be added as part of the FAQ. But I don't speak for anyone but myself.

cygexec mounted binaries don't inherit PATH during dynamic loading
The last month or so I've been fooling around with using the 'cygexec' feature of the mount table to tell Cygwin that everything under /usr/bin is a Cygwin executable (except for strace and cygcheck.) However, a strange thing started happening recently. With the x11 server running I would try to launch an xterm, and I would get the windows popup DLL missing - Can't find cygX11-6.dll. Puzzled, I check $PATH from the prompt and indeed /usr/X11R6/bin is in my path. Let me be clear at this point that this particular example involves xterm and X11 but as you'll see that's just a specific example of a more general problem. I figured out that removing the cygexec mounted /usr/bin solves the problem - an xterm can launch normally. So I used process explorer to look at the environment of the xterm.exe process while the error popup was on the screen. The process had the default, system-wide PATH (as defined in Windows system properties page.) In my case, I have \cygwin\bin in that PATH but I rely on the profile scripts to add /usr/X11R6/bin to the path, and thus the cygX11-6.dll was indeed not in the path at that moment. I poked around in the source code and sure enough, environ.cc, function build_env() gets passed a true value for no_envblock if the thing being spawned is mounted cygexec. It proceeds to set envblock to NULL which I presume means take the default system environment. Now, I realize that since Cygwin is spawning a Cygwin application it will pass stuff like the environment and argv[] directly through the shared memory region and bypass Windows' methods entirely. So I realize that *eventually* the process will inherit the correct PATH. But my question/problem is that during the dynamic loading phase, Windows needs the inherited PATH too - otherwise you get these strange unexplainable runtime link errors. (I was seeing this before in another way when a dlopen() kept returning win32 errno 126 even though the damn DLL was right where it was supposed to be and had the right permissions.) So my question is simply this: in the case of spawning a cygexec-mounted binary, shouldn't build_env at least fill in PATH from the calling process' value, so that Windows can do its runtime DLL loading?

RE: recv and errno during a connection reset/closed by peer
Brian, I will look at this also. I appreciated all of the suggestions, but really just wanted to understand why Cygwin and Linux would be different in this area. The original reason behind posting to this group was because I believed that my install of Cygwin was not following the SusV3 spec. I'm still not really convinced it does, but that may be because the spec seems vague to me about the return when using MSG_PEEK. Perhaps it is not supposed to follow SusV3? I believed that there were several options to accomplish my task including: poll, select, MSG_PEEK, and non-blocking. While investigating all of these to determine the best one I noticed this difference between the Linux and Cygwin networking. I think they both aim to follow the same SusVx spec. Is that not true? If so, someone interpreted it differently or couldn't follow the correct implementation for some reason. Thanks Peter A.
