[PATCH] Uninstall .dll last, reinstall first - final version
Well, it builds, and it works, and I've tested it by rolling an installation back-and-forth across quite a large update (the difference between my local mirror set up last september and an up-to-date mirror), which I could do with the old setup and see things fail when it removed the cygwin dll early in the uninstall, and which worked fine with the patched version because it saves the dll until last, and nobody actually has any comments, but I've cut out the unnecessary return-an-early-abort-indication bit now that I'm convinced that LogSingleton::exit doesn't return.

Brian Hmm. handle_output_debug_string in gdb/win32-nat.c translates messages received from OutputDebugString into calls to warning (...). Eventually these get translated through gdb/gdbtk/library/interface.tcl :: show_warning (...) into calls to ide_messageBox (in libgui/src/tclmsgbox.c). I think it would probably be best to fix at the gdb layer. Genuine warnings we still do want to pop up a dialog, it's just that debug output shouldn't be treated as debugger warnings, because it isn't. Just commenting out the call to warning would probably work, although that would mean the debug messages didn't get displayed at all; what we really want is for them to come out in the console window. Not quite sure how to make that happen yet.. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today

Re: screen
Andrew, I tried packaging screen a long time ago, and failed. I got it compiling, but it didn't work correctly. I seem to recall that it really didn't work at all. The major obstacle to porting screen is that you have to understand how Cygwin handles terminals, which I don't, but maybe you do. If you understand that, then it should be possible, but if not then I don't know what to tell you. I just did a search of my web spaces and my local machine and couldn't find any trace of my efforts for packaging screen.

No, I don't understand how Cygwin handles terminals, and in general I don't understand terminals very well. So this might end up being more than I can do right now, or it might be a good way for me to learn about terminals, which I wouldn't mind doing. I'll start to look into it and see. Any ideas about resources I could look at, besides The Source? I have general information about terminal handling in Unix, in Advanced Unix Programming by Rochkind. I also have some familiarity with terminal usage in Linux. A.

I can see the point of screen on a stripped-down text-only system, but when you can open up any number of rxvt+bash's and ALT-TAB between them... A few things come to mind. One is that I'm used to using it with ssh, so I have it configured for my greatest efficiency. For example, I have a standard set of windows that starts automatically, with the same names, so I know where things are right away. Navigation is more efficient because I use the same set of navigation commands in multiple environments. I spend a fair amount of effort to standardize my environment in this way wherever I can. Another reason is that multiple rxvt windows adds up to a crowded task bar, which crowds my mental space. Maybe it's just me... There are some fairly esoteric features that I never use, such as splitting each screen into arbitrary regions, and sending data back and forth between windows. Some people may like screen for these features. Maybe the best answer is that there's really not much difference at all. Both methods do the same thing, but either all in one window, or in multiple windows. I like the former, you like the latter. ...what am I missing? And I'm not picking on you Andy, I keep hearing how wonderful this screen progam is, and I have yet to meet anybody who can tell me why. No problem.

Try the below patches. They make a workable screen on my system.
I even get a screen that I can attach and detach if I comment out
the '#define NAMEDPIPE 1' in config.h before building.
This is necessary because, unfortunately, cygwin's implementation of
fifos is not yet complete although screen thinks it is. So the
semi-working fifo seems to confuse detach/attach.
I'm not sure how you'd proceduralize the building of screen such that
configure would avoid using fifos. I guess the only way to do it is
to patch the configure script to avoid using fifos under cygwin. Or
always edit config.h after configure...
I really do have to fix fifos soon. Screen will be a good test case for
them, I guess.

Re: does not work : change /cygdrive to / (Attn: documentation patch)
Patricia J. Hawkins wrote: I gather it was an accidentally introduced bug? My inference that it was an intended change, which unexpectedly changed the visible filesystem structure (added to the time I spent wading through archives, doc, and system changes) is a good bit of what ticked me off. Anyway, I think the mount doc needs clarification. Having different mount points for the user and for the system is unexpected, and it's also not clear from the doc that in cygwin, the user mount points take precedence over the system mount points. The 'mount' system has always had user mode mounts and system mode mounts from day one. And, as far as I know, it has always been the case that user mode mounts take precedence over system wide mounts if the same path is mounted both ways. The only thing that we're actually talking about here, as far as I can tell, is the cygdrive prefix. Until 1.5.14, it did not work the same way as normal mounts in that you could not override a system mode cygdrive prefix with a user mode cygdrive prefix. This was fixed, so that the whole user/system distinction worked consistently for all mounts. (And, it was mentioned in the release notes for 1.5.14.) The documentation about the mount table[1] does explain that there are both system and user mounts. It however does not explicitly say that user mode mounts override system mode mounts. If anything, it would be good to perhaps add a sentence or two along those lines. Also the documentation for 'mount' regarding cygpath[2] does say that by default you are modifying the systemwide cygdrive prefix, but it does not say that if you have a user mode cygdrive prefix it will take precedence. That too might benefit from clarification. I have attached a patch to the documentation that clarifies these two locations.

Because it uses dynamic modules that are loaded via dlopen(). Any
program in this situation will be sensitive to ImageBase issues.

but also with no success.
That is probably because you tried to start it from apachectl
previously. You shouldn't do that. Normally what happens is you try to
start Apache from your regular user account, which creates log files
under your account and permissions. Then if you try to run it later as
a service, the SYSTEM account doesn't have the proper rights. You
should try something along the following lines whenever trying to start
Apache as a service after previously starting it as a regular user:
for F in /var/log/apache.log /var/log/apache/{error,access}_log; do
chown SYSTEM:root $F
chmod 644 $F
done
You should also delete /var/run/apache.pid before starting the service
if it exists and has improper permissions, otherwise cygrunsrv can't
replace it.
You also have to make sure that all the necessary directories can be
read by SYSTEM. This includes /var/www, /etc/apache/*, and so on.
Traverse checking can be an issue here (but it's a nonissue for 1.5.15
and later.)
Finally, you should make sure that User is set to Guest (or whatever
unprivileged account you desire) and Group is commented out in
httpd.conf.

If none of the above did the trick, you are going to have to provide
more information. All that says is that the service couldn't be
started. You need to check for messages in the log files and in the
windows event log.

Mirror, Mirroring, Download, Downloading Cygwin Release Using rsync
From time to time, as even now, someone asks a question on how to download Cygwin for installing, locally, on any number of machines, burning a CD/DVD, etc. The canonical answer seems to be to use Cygwin's Setup. If Setup doesn't run on your system of choice (e.g. FreeBSD, GNU/Linux...), then how? Although Setup does run on my windows machine, I don't normally use it to download release changes. Instead, I use rsync, which should work as well on *nix type systems as on a M$ one. So here's how I do it and what works for me--see the bash script below. I use rsync to maintain a local Cygwin release mirror so I can use Setup to locally install anything from Cygwin release on a number of PCs on my network. I have been doing this for several years with virtually no problems--except for the occasional rsync mirror that comes or goes. The nice thing about rsync is that it downloads only what has changed since the last rsync and with the --delete option, it deletes everything on the local mirror that's not on the official Cygwin mirror being used.(NB: Not so with wget. It just lets things pile up.) Also, rsync is very robust in that, should the download be interrupted, it can be restarted and it picks up, basically, from where it left off. Moreover, you can still use Setup on an M$ machine to download and install changes using the same local directory structure, e.g. /cygdrive/x/cygwin/release. However, using the --delete option, the directories left by Setup will be removed the next time rsync is run but everything will be current. Be advised that disk space may now be an issue. Several years ago, when I started using rsync to mirror Cygwin release, it did so in about 800MB. Now it takes about 2.4GB--somebody has been busy--thanks! However, frequent rsyncs will only need to download a fraction of that. Below is the bash script I start manually on my Win98SE system. It's brutish, lacks sophistication, but works for me. Because my Cygwin install is Unix, I use Windows' Wordpad (write.exe) to read the log files (hence, the .wri extension). Wordpad can handle both the file size and line ends properly whereas notepad can't. The script first runs rsync to download any changes to Setup.exe and Setup.ini, placing them in /cygdrive/n/pub/Cygwin from where I can run Setup. The script then runs rsync to update /cygdrive/n/pub/Cygwin/release with the latest changes. If I first want to see what the new changes are (more or less) without downloading, I do a dry run (rsync -n option). After rsyncing, I can do a local install with Setup from any machine on my network. I just updated the script with the latest rsync mirrors found on the Cygwin site. Normally, I only use mirror 1 or 2 in the list. If there were more North American mirrors, I'd try my hand at selecting the one to use randomly, rather than by menu--share the load. I hope someone finds this information useful and that it's not redundant.

BTW, you could get rid of that .wri extension ugliness by mounting the logfile directory textmode, and then name the output .txt. Or get a better text editor - I recommend Metapad for free, UltraEdit for $. (But I realize you're probably happy with what you have and don't need someone telling you to change.) The nice thing about rsync is that it downloads only what has changed since the last rsync and with the --delete option, it deletes everything on the local mirror that's not on the official Cygwin mirror being used.

You can cut that down significantly by using --exclude to ignore the source packages. Of course, that means you can't install source packages. were more North American mirrors, I'd try my hand at selecting the one to use randomly, rather than by menu--share the load. Heh. Well, that's a good sentiment. I use the kernel.org mirror, and given the amount of traffic they serve I have good faith that several MB of cygwin packages every week or two is not even a drop in their bucket. It looks like they've taken away their neat little BW meter from the home page but I seem to recall it was normally pushing out a constant 100 to 200 MBit/s, and a whole lot more in times following kernel releases. They've got big pipes. :) Brian -- 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/

Okay, are you sure that the mod_*.dll files are being included in the
rebase? You can do rebaseall -v to view the files are they're
processed.
I use the following script for debugging this:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
foreach my $fn (@ARGV) {
if (-f $fn) {
if( `/usr/bin/objdump -p $fn` =~ /ImageBase\s+([0-9a-fA-F]{8})/ ) {

}
}
}
Name that 'imagebase' and put it in your path somewhere. Then you can
type imagebase /usr/lib/apache/mod*.dll. Do the modules all have the
base address 0x100 (meaning they weren't rebased) or do they have
addresses in the 0x6... range? The fact that the DLLs are loading
that low in memory (0x3F) implies to me that they were not in fact
rebased.

My inference that it was an intended change, which unexpectedly changed the visible filesystem structure (added to the time I spent wading through archives, doc, and system changes) is a good bit of what ticked me off. Anyway, I think the mount doc needs clarification. Having different mount points for the user and for the system is unexpected, and it's also not clear from the doc that in cygwin, the user mount points take precedence over the system mount points. The 'mount' system has always had user mode mounts and system mode mounts from day one. And, as far as I know, it has always been the case that user mode mounts take precedence over system wide mounts if the same path is mounted both ways. The only thing that we're actually talking about here, as far as I can tell, is the cygdrive prefix. Until 1.5.14, it did not work the same way as normal mounts in that you could not override a system mode cygdrive prefix with a user mode cygdrive prefix. until 1.5.14 is, AFAIK, incorrect.

How is cygwin's minimal setup-data retained in Win32? (Still have an installation problem.)
Hello - Context: I need to produce a cygwin fileset on CD that I can install on a system without net access. I don't need a seamless installation from the media, but I do need to select any of the packages I have planned; I've had trouble with this (for X11 specifically). I want to make a clean cygwin installation (using 'setup.exe') on a Win2K box and find some information from earlier installation attempts seems to be retained. I did the following: 1) Copied a new 'setup.exe' from 'www.cygwin.com' and placed it in a directory I had used on previous installation attempts, but had erased using the Win2K file manager. 2) Started my new 'setup.exe' and found it already held some defaults from a previous attempt, specifically: (a) the fact I wanted to 'Download' rather than 'Install', and (b) the identity of the mirror server I had used. I suppose there may be more retained information I don't know about. How should I completely launder a Win32 box so I can get a really clean Cygwin installation from one mirror server?

RE: I just tried to build GCC 4.0.0-RC2 on Cygwin

Re: How well supported is csh/tcsh?
Jason Pearce wrote: o Do most new/upgraded packages work or do you always have to port setup scripts? In this case it shouldn't matter. All postinstall / preremove scripts are intended to be run by (and are in fact run by) /bin/sh, aka ash, regardless of what shell you choose as a user. Now if you're saying that you're going to remove ash then yes, expect a whole buttload of stuff to break. But if you just switch to tcsh as your default shell but leave ash sitting around as /bin/sh, then everything should be fine. The same thing goes for scripts used by packages (for example ssh-host-config) because they all reference /bin/sh or /bin/bash in the shebang, and so as long as you don't do something silly like remove ash or bash then you're fine.

Re: How is cygwin's minimal setup-data retained in Win32? (Still have an installation problem.)
Mills, John M. wrote: I suppose there may be more retained information I don't know about. How should I completely launder a Win32 box so I can get a really clean Cygwin installation from one mirror server? If you want to remove everything, you basically have to remove the mounts and delete the directory where cygwin was installed. This is outlined in http://cygwin.com/faq/faq_2.html#SEC20. However, rather than mucking around in the registry just do umount -A to remove mount information. As Igor points out, setup.exe stores most of its information in files under /etc/setup, and it locates /etc by looking at the mount table.

-Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jason Pearce Sent: 20 April 2005 16:30 To: Cygwin List Subject: How well supported is csh/tcsh? I have been using bash within my Cygwin environment thus far. But all are other UNIX machines are set up to use /bin/csh so I am considering making the shift to either /bin/csh or /bin/tcsh under cygwin. Preliminary experiments look good, but I have the feeling the majority of Cygwin users are with bash, even if I have no factual basis for it! So o Do most new/upgraded packages work or do you always have to port setup scripts? Sorry, I don't get what you mean o Can I use tsch as a nicer csh and should this be fully compatible with csh? Yes see below. o Any testimonials good or bad? For FreeBSD, the default shell is tcsh (masquerading as csh.) For most linux's its BASH (sometimes pretending to be sh) The shell you use is normaly down to personal preference, I prefer bash as that's what Ive always used, others swear by (t)csh, ksh or zsh. Tcsh is fully csh compatible according to http://www.tcsh.org/Welcome and I'd recopmend it over csh. As an aside, if your planning to do much shell scripting, I'd recommend using sh/bash/ksh (never used zsh so cant comment) over csh/tcsh. See http://www.faqs.org/faqs/unix-faq/shell/csh-whynot/for reasons Against using csh although this is only if you are planning to do much Scripting with csh.

Unfortunately, I can't get it to work - for example. BASH: make: command not found Looking at the cygcheck results, it also reports that make and other essential bits are not found. I can't figure out why that should be, since (I think) the devel stuff seemed to be installed from the setup program. So, maybe something essential is missing.

With the previous bash also. -- Reini Urban http://xarch.tu-graz.ac.at/home/rurban/ http://phpwiki.org/ -- 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/
No libintl.jar in gettext-0.14.1-1
I wanted to use /usr/share/gettext/libintl.jar, but it is not available in gettext-0.14.1-1. The release 0.12.1-3 did provide libintl.jar. The document /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/gettext-0.14.1.README tells me it should be around. Are there any reasons why this jar is not available in 0.14.1?
