To ITP or not to ITP, that is the question...
(With apologies... :) I have a quandry. In the process of updating some packages I maintain for Cygwin (zsh suite3270), I've found that I now require some other software to build them. One is 'ICU' (International Components for Unicode) and the other is 'yodl' (Yet oneOther Document Language). I need yodl to generate the doc for the developer snapshots of zsh (which I'm trying to create any automated process for), and I need ICU for DBCS support in suite3270. I've already build both of the above packages (in fact, I've gone the next step and created Cygwin packages for them :). I just don't know weither there is any interest in these being offered as Cygwin packages. So, my quandry is: Should I offer them? Is there any interest from other Cygwin users? It's not a question of maintaining them, really. Since I now require them for other packages I maintain, I have to keep my private copies up to date anyways. And, since I've already gone through the exercise of creating packages, there's not much left to do. You can check them out at http://www.fruitbat.org/Cygwin Yodl: http://sourceforge.net/projects/yodl/ ICU: http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu/ http://www.ibm.com/software/globalization/icu/ There are two wrinkles: 1) There's some confusion in my mind about yodl's viability. I've seen notices on the web about it being discontinued, yet the sourceforge project was last updated in Jan of 2005. I've build v1.31.18 so far. I haven't gotten around to build v2.01.01 yet (it requirs 'icmake'!). I guess I'll have to look into building icmake next :| 2) ICU is an IBM product (at 9Mb, compress, for the source, it's hugh!). Normally that's got both good and bad connotations. This particular release of ICU (3.2) is strange in that I can't seem to get the canned sample demos to work correctly under Cygwin. They run, but don't generate the desired output. That normally would bother me, except, a build of the same version under Linux also has the sample demos failing in the same way. Well, at least it's consistent :) But, it begs the question: does this code actually work at all? I'd presume IBM thinks so, otherwise why would they release it? So, even though I've managed to build and package it, it could be complete junk. *sigh* It's never easy, is it? Please send me your thoughts on this. -- Peter A.

Linux @ home - Cygwin X server @ home won't work
Hello all, I encountered a XWindow problem which I never experienced before. I'm trapped with this problem for the last four days; I need your help ( BTW I've been using XWindow with Cygwin on WinXP for few years ). [ Problem ] When I use Cygwin X server on my notebook PC at home connected to a Linux machine at office via VPN, it works fine. However, when I use the same Cygwin X server connected to a Linux machine at home locally, it won't work. In short, "Linux @ office - Cygwin X server @ home" does work but "Linux @ home - Cygwin X server @ home" won't work. [ Operations ] Following is the description of what I operated for both sides : === Cygwin X server @ home === I started X server with "startx " command. Then I issued "xhost +" to disable access control so that any host can connect to this X server (192.168.11.2). === Linux @ home === I exported DISPLAY and issued "xeyes" like below : # export DISPLAY=192.168.11.2:0.0 # xeyes # netstat -a | grep x11 tcp 0 1 192.168.11.8:32955 192.168.11.2:0.0 SYN_SENT As you can see the request is sent to Cygwin X server (192.168.11.2) properly. --- Please help me to get our of his hell. I appreciate your help.

Is that possible? -Bill Cygwin's access to an NTFS partition is not particularly slow in general. Some operations have to go through some contortions to make things look Unixy, which slows them down, but those are mainly related to permissions and such.

All - I want to select packages for cygwin 'Setup' to install, and want to ensure that all dependencies for my selected packages will also be installed. It appears that, if I am in a submenu and de-select a package, it may deselect components that are required by another selected package, thus: 1. Enter submenu 'X' 2. Select application 'A' for installation Notice some other applications are selected, presumably as dependencies 3. Enter submenu 'Y' 4. De-select application 'B' for installation Notice some other applications are de-selected, presumably as dependencies It appears that some packages selected in (2) to satisfy dependencies are being _deselected_ in (4). If so, I'm afraid this could break my installation. I actually _download_ the overall selection, burn it to a CD, and install it on another computer. This final installation seems to be broken. (Xwin won't start.) When I erase all installation traces I can find in the system used for downloading (including registry keys), I get clean installations in that original system from the same CD. Questions: 1. Is it possible to deselect needed files from downloading and/or installation by deselecting _other_ files for which they are dependencies? 2. By specifically deselecting files that may dependencies of another package, are they dropped from the download? 3. Is there some way to test the coverage of a set of selected packages as far as satisfying its own internal dependencies? 4. Should I get error messages during installation if some dependencies can't be satisfied? I don't have any clear symptoms of the problem; I'm fishing around to debug my broken portable installation. Thanks for any suggestions on these issues. - John Mills John M.

If you want to more-or-less duplicate the behavior of 1.5.15 you can do something like this: (echo 9; echo YOUR TEXT HERE) /tmp/FIFO This is pretty obvious from the context and the following paragraph, but just to clarify for the archives: the above should be (sleep 9; echo YOUR TEXT HERE) /tmp/FIFO As long as there is something sitting around which has the fifo open, the cat process will not terminate. Of course, there will be a long running sleep process sitting around in the above example and that may not be desirable. So, there may be a more elegant way to do this. I thought that maybe something like: cat FIFO 42FIFO might work since that would cause cat to keep FIFO open for input and output but that just hangs on both cygwin and linux. Interestingly enough, cat /tmp/FIFO seems to work for me on RH7.3 (kernel 2.4.18-3, bash 2.05a).

Newbie help compiling ATLAS

Unable to store L1CacheSize, aborting. as if the program were not able to create the file. The make file log shows these lines : rm -f /home/Thyfate/builds/src/ATLAS/tune/sysinfo/WinNT_PIIISSE2/res/L1CacheSize echo 16 /home/Thyfate/builds/src/ATLAS/tune/sysinfo/WinNT_PIIISSE2/res/L1CacheSize /bin/sh: /home/Thyfate/builds/src/ATLAS/tune/sysinfo/WinNT_PIIISSE2/res/L1CacheSize: No such file or directory make: *** [ISetL1] Error 1 Is this related to some file permissions possibilities?

Though the shortcut is in the directory it looks in, it does not find the file (No such file or directory) - when I replace the shortcut with the real file, gcc (not the mingw one, the cygwin one) can not be found by the make utility : /usr/bin/gcc can be run from the command line but the make file outputs an error message /bin/sh: /usr/bin/gcc No such file or directory Thanks in advance for your help, I do not know where to start looking for help !

Yes, this is one of the reasons that I can't say fifos work fine in cygwin. Why not look at how POSIX defines FIFOs to work. XBD 3.162 defines a FIFO as a special file whose behavior is further specified in open(2), read(2), write(2), and lseek(2). open(2) states that when opening a FIFO, O_RDWR is undefined (you can only portably open a FIFO for just reading or just writing, so bash's `echo fifo' evokes undefined behavior). Then, if O_NONBLOCK is set, O_RDONLY succeeds but O_WRONLY fails unless there is a previously open reader; if clear, O_RDONLY blocks until there is a writer and O_WRONLY blocks until there is a reader. lseek(2) states that seeking on a FIFO fails with ESPIPE. write(2) states that there are atomicity requirements on writes less than PIPE_BUF bytes. It also states whether the write will succeed, fail with EPIPE, or with EAGAIN, based on blocking mode and available space in the pipe to the reader. But in all cases, it will never return 0 (pipes always make progress, or in non-blocking mode return an error immediately). read(2) states that a reader succeeds with 0 for end-of-file when there is no writer, fails immediately with EAGAIN if there is a writer but no data available in non-blocking mode, or blocks until the writer provides data (or the writer closes) in blocking mode. When using redirections from the shell command line, you are opening the pipe in blocking mode. So it shouldn't matter whether a writing process or a reading process is spawned first (the first end blocks until the second end has opened its descriptor), but neither process should complete until the last writing process closes its file descriptor (perhaps by exiting) to give the reader(s) an end-of-file indication, or the last reader closes its file descriptor to give the writer(s) an EPIPE. The trick of `echo 99 fifo' ensures that there is a writer for a very long time, so that a reader never gets EOF. -- Eric Blake -- 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/

This looks questionable:
Package Version
...
gcc 3.3.1-3
gcc-core 3.3.3-3
gcc-g++ 3.3.3-3
You should really have the same version of all those packages. You're
also using quite old versions of rather important packages:
ash 20020131-1
binutils 20011002-1
cygwin 1.5.12-1
(and many others)
Try updating your Cygwin packages to something current.

This looks questionable:
Package Version
...
gcc 3.3.1-3
gcc-core 3.3.3-3
gcc-g++ 3.3.3-3
You should really have the same version of all those packages. You're
also using quite old versions of rather important packages:
ash 20020131-1
binutils 20011002-1
cygwin 1.5.12-1
(and many others)
Try updating your Cygwin packages to something current.
I suspect that this is due to the use of a non-standard cygwin distro.
The cygwin DLL version was also not up-to-date.

Problem with cygwin setup
Sorry, my question is very basic, but I have to ask it. Short Version: Could someone tell me the target for the cygwin shortcut that should get installed? Long Version: Basically, my problem is that when I install cygwin it gets stuck on this screen: http://www.physionet.org/physiotools/cygwin/setup-13.png If I hit cancel then it brings up a pop-up box saying that the installation is complete, and turns my anti-virus software back on, however, I never see this screen: http://www.physionet.org/physiotools/cygwin/setup-14.png and so I don't have an icon installed on my desktop/start menu. I think everything has installed properly, so really I don't care about getting it working properly, if someone could just tell me what the target should be for the cygwin shortcut, that'd be great.

RE: Bespoke installations: simple elegance of setup.exe when setup.ini is absent
Hi Sean, I'm redirecting this to the cygwin list so that we may all benefit: Is there any effort towards making setup.exe accessible? Not to my knowledge, no, which FWIW I find very unfortunate. Those of us who use a screen reading program and/or keyboard access find it impossible to use setup.exe without assistance. The view button should activate with the spacebar or enter key and does not. The view button when activated with the space bar should open up a list of packages and does not. Each item in the list should be a multistate toggle which should be toggled with the spacebar. Look at the windows installation program to see what I'm talking about. In the section which allows you to choose accessories for example there is a button you can hit enter or spacebar on which says details. From there you are in a list of programs you can select or deselect with the spacebar. This is how setup.exe should behave. There are many problems with setup, hence my comment. The unfortunate truth is that setup development has historically been excruciatingly slow, and I have no reason to believe that the level of activity will increase by any appreciable extent in the forseeable future. I know it may come as small comfort, but it used to be worse. If you are able to, I am certain that any effort you can lend to the development of setup will be appreciated. -- Gary R.

I *think* that the test below, which tests memory allocation limit of Cygwin *might* produce problems in Windows XP: http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/cygwin-ug-net/setup-maxmem.html In this page, I have compiled the C code, and after having run the compiled executable, Windows XP gave suddenly a warning that virtual memory setting has been changed (I think, that repeated malloc() calls in this code somehow change the virtual memory settings in Windows XP). After that, I have observed harddisk related problems which I cannot produce them repeated. Sometimes during power-on, harddisk locked, PC never started (harddisk lamp lighted continuously). It helped to boot the computer several times so that it can run. The last symptom was, that PC could not boot itself and operating system dumped ntfs corrupt or damaged message. I have looked at internet, but could not find any information that I could correlate the problems with it. The only thing I could find is that Virtual Memory setting was user defined min: 768 MB, max: 1536 MB (was not in automatical control of OS any more, compiled C code above in the link must have forced the operating system to change it). Then I have run defragmentation. The results can be viewed at: http://www.geocities.com/utku_ozcan/vol_c_defrag.JPG The only thing I can figure out is, that before and after the defragmentation, harddisk has big holes in between. This cannot be pagefile.sys, because it can be as much as 1,5 GB (max: 1536 MB). Big holes between defragmented areas seems to be in 5-10 GB regions. I know, I need proof, but sorry, not capable of producing it. Maybe my harddisk had big fragment distances in Gigabytes before, OS cannot boot because HD consume in that case excessive amount of time to read fragmented sectors. This problem occurred maybe when I run the C code above (fragmented harddisk - manual change of virtual memory because of Cygwin test C code). Just a thought.

Re: read bug in Cygwin 1.5.16?
Thanks Brian, but I don't think support on earlier versions of cygwin is going to be an issue. There's only one other person who tried and found this same bug, so we're somewhat rara avis (rare birds). If the snapshot fix works, I can wait for the release to come out. It isn't that urgent, since my workaround is just to run in a console window instead of an xterm. Thanks again for the help.

We could both go on to much more productive things if you'd simply admit that you were out of line and have been on far too many occaisions, and promise to behave better in the future.

postgresql and sockets
Hi I am using Cygwin postgresql as my db engine for high load jboss/Hibernate web app. It works fine, but after some 10k transactions socket seems broken and I get this message: $ psql psql: could not connect to server: Bad file descriptor Is the server running locally and accepting connections on Unix domain socket /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432? $ cat /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432 !socket 1304 s D872D6B4-84B51718-5811C571-3E0793C6 However, `psql -h localhost -p 5432' succeeds. So in fact the socket is still there, but the link stored in /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432 is broken. If I restart postmaster service, psql works again.

execvp error:cygwin+make+busybox
Hello, Attempting to cross-compile Busybox 1.00 under Cygwin (1.5.16-1) I am hitting an error similar to one previously reported on the Cygwin list (Jan 05): http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-01/msg00657.html No resolution was posted to the list at that time. The busybox Makefile attempts to run the host CC (gcc in this case) to build some setup/config tools, as well as spawning a shell script to do a bit of preparatory work. This is before any cross-compiling begins. Make reports the following error: gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -o scripts/mkdep /cygdrive/e/cygwin-uclinux/uClinux-dist/user/busybox/scripts/mkdep.c make[3]: execvp: gcc: Invalid argument make[3]: *** [scripts/mkdep] Error 127 The problem occurs with Make versions 3.79.1 and 3.80 (haven't tested any earlier versions) The Makefile fragment which fails looks like this: scripts/mkdep: $(top_srcdir)/scripts/mkdep.c $(HOSTCC) $(HOSTCFLAGS) -o $@ $ HOSTCC and HOSTCFLAGS can be deduced from above output, but there's nothing exotic in there. Another fragment which fails is this: .config.mkconfig: $(ROOTDIR)/config/.config sh ./mkconfig .config.tmp This fragment fails with: make[3]: execvp: sh: Invalid argument If executed directly from the commandline, these commands complete fine - it's only when spawning from within the Makefile. cygcheck output is attached. Any insights into the nature and possible solution of this problem would be greatly appreciated.

mkdir -p and network drives
According to the Cygwin Faq, * Why doesn't `mkdir -p' work on a network share? Unfortunately, you cannot do something like this: bash$ mkdir -p //MACHINE/Share/path/to/new/dir mkdir: cannot create directory `//MACHINE': No such file or directory This is because mkdir checks for the existence of each directory on the path, creating them as necessary. Since `//MACHINE' is not a directory (you can't cd to it either), mkdir tries to create it, and fails. ** This behavior would be fine with me, but the latest mkdir (GNU coreutils) 5.3.0 creates /MACHINE/Share/path/to/new/dir and returns 0 Pierre -- 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/

New Package: mtd-20050419-1
The mtd-20050419-1 package is now available via cygwin setup.exe. The mtd package contains utilities for dealing with flash memory technology devices (mtd). These tools can be used to create jffs2 filesystem images for embedded Linux systems. The initial source for this package was taken from the infradead.org CVS server, and trimmed back to exclude a few megabytes of code that has no use under cygwin. For now, the mtd package only includes the mkfs.jffs2 utility for cygwin. Hopefully, as time permits and as people show additional interest, the remaining mtd utilities will be ported to run under cygwin as well.

New package: cramfs-1.1-1
The cramfs-1.1-1 package is now available via cygwin setup.exe. The cramfs package contains utilities that can be used to create and verify Linux cramfs filesystem images. These tools cam be used to create cramfs filesystem images for embedded Linux systems. This port of cramfs is based on the vanilla cramfs-1.1 sources, but includes patches for device table support and generating cramfs image files with an endianess that differs from the host. Please note that while mkcramfs supports '-r' (allowing you to create a reversed-endian cramfs image), cramfsck does *not* (yet) support images that do not have the same endianness as the host. PTC. *** INSTALLATION *** To install mtd on cygwin, run the cygwin setup program.
