RE: 1.5.14-1 cygwin1.dll could not be found
Original Message From: Dave Korn Sent: 07 April 2005 20:07 [Thread properly TITTAL'd, to coin a phrase] Well, I have a crude patch going, and it's that time of night that I'm leaving the office and going home now[*], so here's what I've done so far, just in case anyone else wants to have a go and see if it works for them. Here's rev.1 of that patch. I've avoided all the code duplication from the cut-n-paste-coding of the previous patch by factoring out the repeated bits into subroutines (and indeed by removing some slightly pointless constructs like that int e = 0; e += thing that was going on in the trycatch clauses. I've also removed the message boxes that I put in for debugging. The following points however remain: 3) There's no changelog entry! 4) I'm not sure how correct it is! For instance, do I need to worry about whether the cygwin package is going to be an uninstall-and-reinstall or a replace-in-place? To which I may as well add: 5) Do I really need to worry about putting return statements after calling LogSingleton::GetInstance().exit (1); ? There was a reference in there to some kind of 'issue' with ::exit, but I haven't yet done an archive search to try and understand what's going on - does anyone remember? I'm not so worried about 4) now. There's nothing innate to stop a package from being processed first by the uninstall, then by the replace-in-place loop, and if the uninstall affected the flags in the packagemeta in such a way that they passed the test (which I have now moved into upgrade_if_needed), then it would indeed be first uninstalled and then replaced in place. However that's the way its always worked; I assume it is implicitly protected against this by the behaviour of the various pkg.installed and pkg.desired flags. Anyway it seems to do the job reasonable well, so if nobody has offered me any of the requested-for comments by Monday a.m., I'll call it finalised and resubmit it with a changelog entry. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today setup-save-cygdll-til-last-patch.diff Description: Binary data

There was a reference in there to some kind of 'issue' with ::exit, but I haven't yet done an archive search to try and understand what's going on - does anyone remember? IIRC, gcc needs to know that the exit() function never returns. It does know for ::exit() (because there's an appropriate attribute on it), but it doesn't for LogSingleton::exit(), and so will complain that the functions are missing a return statement. So you need to put those in to quell the warnings.

It is similar to Lynx, but handles some things like page navigation differently. It can render tables and frames (by converting frames into tables) or display a document given from standard input. It supports tabbed browsing. It can execute local CGI scripts without any HTTP server. category: Text Web requires: libgc ncurses openssl cygwin setup.hint - libgc: sdesc: The Boehm-Demers-Weiser conservative garbage collector for C/C++ ldesc: The Boehm-Demers-Weiser conservative garbage collector can be used as a garbage collecting replacement for C malloc or C++ new. It allows you to allocate memory basically as you normally would, without explicitly deallocating memory that is no longer useful. The collector automatically recycles memory when it determines that it can no longer be otherwise accessed. category: Libs requires: cygwin - FWIW, both the w3m and libgc packages exist as part of Debian: http://packages.debian.org/stable/libs/libgc6 http://packages.debian.org/stable/web/w3m-ssl I want to thank Jason Tishler for his assistance over the last month in guiding a new package maintainer, testing and figuring out (then helping me fix) a problem that caused older versions of w3m to perform much better than the latest version of unmodified w3m. Please let me know if you have any questions or if I could have done anything better. Thanks for considering the integration of these packages into Cygwin. Bob Heckel

I recently updated my cygwin so everything should be current. But see attached cygcheck -s -v -r output. You haven't given enough context in that script to determine why that line was problematic and I don't have a Cygwin install in front of me, so I can't check. To me that line looks fine as it was, however the purpose of the eval was not obvious. I think that statement would be better without the eval at all. I notice that one directory in your PATH contains a space (c:\Program Files\Common Files\MDL Shared\ISIS). If you examine your output from cygcheck you will see that something weird is happening. My guess is that at least one script in profile.d isn't handling directories with spaces properly. They really should be rewritten to use the $path variable instead ($path is an array, $PATH is a scalar) or to explicitly set IFS and use proper quoting. -- Michael Wardle [EMAIL PROTECTED]

But that's just guesswork. I think your next most informative option might be to use strace -t; that should let you see if there are any obvious errors occurring in the child. I don't know how to use this command, because I can't start any command within this user. Changing to another account I can't check it, because everthing works as expected. What exactly can I try? You can strace a program from a DOS prompt. Cd into the cygwin bin directory, and issue a command such as strace -f -o strace.log -w --mask=all -b 204800 bash.exe --login -i cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today -- 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: Building a common cygwin enviroment for network distribution
I've looked around the Cygwin site for information on installation that doesn't use the supplied setup.exe, and I've found a lot of you on your own so I'm hoping to get some help here. Thanks! What so wrong with setup.exe? I am doing a similar cygwin roll out at my work site and I use setup.exe. It can be run with command line switches so that it does not prompt the user and installs/updates automatically. Then you just define you own custom package, add it to Base group and make it depend on all the pacakges you want installed by default. See http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin-apps/package-server.html By staying with setup.exe your installation process will update as Cygwin does.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: coreutils-5.3.0-5
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 A new release of coreutils, 5.3.0-5, is available. NEWS This is a minor patch release. The overall 5.3.0 series was designated unstable by the upstream author (compared to the stable 5.2.1), because it introduces some POSIX-compliance fixes for the first time; but there have been few complaints so the 5.2.1 series is no longer available via setup.exe. See /usr/share/doc/coreutils-5.3.0/NEWS for the changes since 5.2.1-5. This release reverts the implicit .exe magic in rm(1) introduced in 5.3.0-4. It turns out that it broke libtool, and didn't always behave properly on symlinks. I hope to add a command-line option to all the tools that experience .exe magic, to make it user-selectable whether .exe can be added as needed, but that will take more time to implement. Note that su(1) is UNSUPPORTED; for more details, see http://cygwin.com/faq/faq_3.html#SEC42. This package REQUIRES cygwin 1.5.13 or newer snapshots, and has been tested with cygwin 1.5.14. If you are running on a Windows 95, 98, or ME system, cygwin 1.5.14 still has some known bugs that may affect several coreutils, such as touch(1). To avoid those bugs, you can use a snapshot or wait for cygwin 1.5.15. When building from source, you will need your own version of automake 1.9.5 or later (until the cygwin automake version is updated) if you want `make -k check' to get past the spurious failures caused by bugs in the testsuite. DESCRIPTION === GNU coreutils provides a collection of commonly used utilities essential to a standard POSIX environment. It comprises the former textutils, sh-utils, and fileutils packages. The following executables are included: [ basename cat chgrp chmod chown chroot cksum comm cp csplit cut date dd df dir dircolors dirname du echo env expand expr factor false fmt fold gkill groups head hostid hostname id install join link ln logname ls md5sum mkdir mkfifo mknod mv nice nl nohup od paste pathchk pinky pr printenv printf ptx pwd readlink rm rmdir seq sha1sum shred sleep sort split stat stty sum sync tac tail tee test touch tr true tsort tty uname unexpand uniq unlink users vdir wc who whoami yes UPDATE == To update your installation, click on the Install Cygwin now link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Save it and run setup, answer the questions, then look for 'coreutils' in the 'Base' category. Because of packaging conflicts between coreutils-5.2.1-5, cygutils-1.2.5-1, gettext-0.14.1-1, libiconv-1.9.2-1, and procps-010801-2, upgrading any of these packages may delete a file provided by another. Running `cygcheck -c' will show you if upgrading left a package incomplete, in which case you should reinstall that package. DOWNLOAD: = Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't allowed due to bandwidth limitations. This means that you will need to find a mirror which has this update, please choose the one nearest to you: http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html QUESTIONS: == If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing list is the appropriate place. - -- Eric Blake -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (Cygwin) Comment: Public key at home.comcast.net/~ericblake/eblake.gpg Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFCXmj584KuGfSFAYARAiytAJ0QHFf20imZYvQbblygHDlA6tUC0ACgpFiU z9NxNUpq9Aog9JDBLe0JziM= =UnZJ -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- 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/

1.5.14 non-admin account problems
For the past couple of days I have been trying to get non-admin accounts working under cygwin. Whenever I try to start cygwin after logging into windows with a non-admin account or try to ssh using a non-admin account I get the following errors: Last login: Fri Apr 15 09:43:31 2005 from sms-mh bash.exe: warning: could not find /tmp, please create! -bash: /etc/profile: Permission denied -bash: /home/sms2/.bash_profile: Permission denied I cannot change directories or execute any commands except pwd and echo. (error: -bash: fork: Permission denied) The one other strange thing is that the CYGWIN variable does not get defined when logging in with a non-admin user. I figured it was a permissioning problem so I added the non-admin user to the Administrators group in /etc/passwd, and the user could login fine with ssh. After searching the mailing lists and google, I've tried a number of different things to fix this. I changed my CYGWIN variable to ntsec notransverse, rebooted and still got the error. I've changed folder and file owner/group with chown. I've tried changing permissions on different files and folders using Windows Security, chmod and setfacl. I've had to uninstall and reinstall a couple of times from changing permissions and screwing up the install. At this point I don't know what else to try. These permissions do not look correct to me, but I do not know which files/directories need to be changed and what exactly they should be changed to. $ getfacl /bin # file: /bin # owner: sms # group: Users user::--- group::--- mask:rwx other:rwx default:other:rwx Pretty much all directories and files have the above permissions except for /home. $ getfacl /home # file: /home # owner: sms # group: None user::rwx group::rwx mask:rwx other:rwx default:user::rwx default:group::rwx default:other:rwx I am running Windows 2000 Server fully patched. C: is formatted NTFS. System name sms-mh sms - user I installed cygwin with. under windows security, member of Administrators sms2 - non-admin user I am having problems with. under windows security, member of Users Where I'm at right now: Logged into windows as sms, I uninstalled cygwin (removed Cygnus Solutions registry entries from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE, HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE and HKEY_USERS_.DEFAULT and the sshd key from CurrentControlSet\services, deleted c:\cygwin, rebooted) and then reinstalled cygwin (base packages plus vim, less, ssh) Started cygwin: /home/sms, .bashrc, .bash_profile, .inputrc were created. Ran ssh_host_config, answered yes to privelege separation, yes to install as service, entered ntsec notransverse for CYGWIN=. Ran cygrunsrv --start sshd. Connected as sms using ssh okay. Tried to connect as sms2 received error. Added sms2 to Administrators group under cygwin (in /etc/passwd changed xp:1005:513 to xp:1005:544) Connected as sms2 okay. Home directory and files were created. Moved sms2 back to group none (:513) Tried to ssh as sms2 received error. Any help would be appreciated.

In the end, what worked for me was to change from Direct connection to Use IE5 settings (but in LAN settings are empty, and I haven't touched that in a long time). Well, the other thing that was different was that I ran setup.exe from a cygwin shell and made sure it's the right one. I(sort of) doubt that this was the issue since all I did was execute the same thing I was double-clicking on.

Re: Slow shell script execution on Cygwin
Brian Dessent wrote: My questions for you: 1. Do these numbers seem reasonable? Yes, unfortunately. Heavy fork()-exec() based scripts just take forever. Ok. 2. Is there anything (apart from cross-compiling on Linux :) ) that can be done to increase script execution speed? You can try mounting your /usr/bin as cygexec. The manpage for mount has some information. From my understanding, the way this works is that when a Cygwin process goes to execute a binary, it checks the mount table. If that binary is mounted on a path that is marked cygexec it assumes that it is a Cygwin binary and skips a bit of the normal song-and-dance, because it knows that it can just communicate directly with the child process via the Cygwin shared memory area after the process has started. I'm not entirely sure of how much of a speedup can be expected, or whether it's significant or not, but it's worth testing. Thank you for the suggestion.

Possible to create an X application not linked to cygwin1.dll?
Greetings, I have ported an X application to cygwin/gcc. It runs well under the X server xwin. When I compile, I link up with libX11. Then I end up my app being linked to cygwin1.dll since libX11 depends on cygwin1.dll. I need to distribute this application, but I cannot make it open source. Those I distribute it to would download cygwin and use xwin. I'm under the impression I cannot do this due to my app - libX11 - cygwin1.dll. Is that correct? I notice that only the X11 lib has this dependency (not Xm or Xpm). I have tried using the -mno_cygwin flag to gcc to compile the app, but this still ends up with the X11 - cygwin1.dll dependency.

build failure for expat-1.95.8-1 cygwin src pkg
When I ran ./expat-1.95.8-1.sh prep the resulting directory tree was not patched. Manually patched after extracting the patch from the cygwin -src tarball. The build fails with the preprocessor error: #error memmove does not exist on this platform, nor is a substitute available in lib/xmlparse.c line 75. The command line issued by libtool looks approximately like this: /bin/bash ./libtool --silent --mode=compile gcc -g0 -O3\ -Iexpat-1.95.8/lib -I. -o lib/xmlparse.lo\ -c expat-1.95.8/lib/xmlparse.c [line breaks added for posting to email List] and it is obvious that it is not applying the CFLAGS: (from Makefile): CFLAGS = -O3 -march=i686 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wstrict-prototypes\ -fexceptions -DHAVE_EXPAT_CONFIG_H Because the libtool is not getting or passing on the CFLAGS parameters to gcc, the compilation fails: the HAVE_EXPAT_CONFIG.H option must be present on Cygwin or the show will stop immediately. I retrieved the latest release of libtool and extracted the ltmain.sh file from that tarball, replacing the one that came in expat. Now the build worked as expected, to completion. The libtool release installed on my machine (latest from cygwin at the time of this writing): Cygwin Package Information Package VersionStatus libtool-devel1.5.10-1 OK Cygwin Package Information Package VersionStatus libtool-stable 1.4.3-2OK Cygwin Package Information Package VersionStatus libtool 1.5b-1 OK The only thing I know to be non-standard about my setup for this build was the fact that I did not undertake it in /usr/src but in another disk location (not one with any spaces present in its pathname, btw). My conclusion is that use of libtool to build this package on Cygwin is brittle. This is not the first cygwin package release of expat which failed to build for me (last time was in 2002, no details are available to cite after this lengthy interval). My opinion is that GNU libtool is a poor match for the requirements of building of libraries on the ms windows platform. It reminds one a bit of hunting squirrel with a piece of field artillery. You'll definitely send the wee critter out of this life with no remnants to dispose of, but you'll have to get him in your sights first. There also seems to be an issue with the expat-1.95.8-1.sh script not patching the upstream source tree it unpacks. Why this would fail I could not tell (and didn't look too hard).

1.5.12-1: poll bug (Windows 2000)
Cygwin v1.5.12-1/Windows 2000
Cygwin poll() uses POLLPRI as the flag for detecting
exceptions, POLLPRI must be explicitly set (otherwise
socket exceptions aren't reported), and POLLERR is
only used when select() returns -1 but there was no
WSAENOTCONN. However, the Unix man page for poll()
says POLLPRI is for detecting urgent data to read,
POLLERR is for detecting exceptions, and POLLERR does
not need to be explicitly set in the pollfd.events
field. Why is POLLPRI used for detecting exceptions
instead of POLLERR? Why are exceptions only detected
when POLLPRI is set instead of being detected
automatically?
The following example shows how behavior differs
between Linux and Cygwin. On Linux poll() gives
readable and exception, but on Cygwin poll() only
gives writable.

Updated: swig-1.3.24-1
SWIG, the Simplified Wrapper and Interface Generator, a tool for easing the interfacing of C/C++ libraries to scripting languages, has been updated in the Cygwin net distribution to version 1.3.24-1. This version has already been present a TEST release for almost 8 weeks now. SWIG has undergone major changes since the last Cygwin release was made, especially with respect to bindings consisting of multiple co-operating modules. Max Bowsher. PS: For anyone wondering Since when was Max the SWIG package maintainer? - this is the first release I have made since I took over that role. -- To update your installation, click on the Install Cygwin now link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Then, run setup and answer all of the questions. If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin mailing list at: cygwin@cygwin.com . I would appreciate it if you would use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly. If you want to make a point or ask a question, the Cygwin mailing list is the appropriate place. This includes ideas and comments about the setup utility or Cygwin in general. *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the List-Unsubscribe: tag in the email header of this message.
