Re: Please upload distcc-2.18.3-1
I should clarify my intentions: I think this should be uploaded now and allowed to be curr. If there are problems, I'll fix them immediately, and the sooner that somebody gives a positive or negative review, the better I will feel. However, I don't think we should wait for a positive or negative review to post this, since it is all minor bug fixes and extremely unlikely to break anything.

Ctrl got stuck
Hi, first of all: Thanks for the great cygwin-xfree! I have one major problem with it: Occasionly (approx every 2 hours, sometimes every 5 minutes) it feels like the CTRL-modifier got stuck. I used cat and emacs to see, that in this situations pressing an a is interpreted as CTRL-a. If I press CTRL, the situation is back to normal, but pressing AltGr-something does not give the desired result and makes CTRL got stuck again. Using the funny Show Cursor option of the X-tray-icon repairs the behaviour... for some minutes or hours. Also starting a new xterm -window and closing it repaired the behaviour recently. I conjecture that it has something to do with AltGr. As I use the german keyboard-layout, I have to use AltGr a lot of times while programming C++. I start Xwin with: XWin -dpi 92 -multiwindow -clipboard -multiplemonitors -xkbvariant nodeadkeys -ac I mostly work with a Win2K (with desktop-twister) on a remote linux or colinux maschine. The AltGr hints in the FAQ did not help me, as they turn of AltGr completely and the problem is not the AltGr does not work correctly. In most cases it works. Any ideas?

Windows reports alt-gr as simultanious presses of ctrl and alt and we have to detect whether it is alt-gr or the keys are really pressed together. Under heavy load the timeouts (and timestamps) of the events may differ between press and release events. That way you get a control press and an alt-gr release so control gets stuck. the only solution is making the detection more robust. bye ago -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723

Re: Emacs problem with Cygwin 1.5.17-1
I remember you, that reinstalling Cygwin 1.5-16-1 (and keeping coreutils 5.3.0-6) Emacs works fine. I would keep 1.5.17-1 because it allow me to build CERNLIB-2005 with a limited number of patches (with 1.5.16-1 there is something more to patch) I have also tried XEmacs 21.4.17-1.

KDE Desktop Size is Larger than Cygwin/X Server Window
I am using Cygwin/X to access a KDE 3.3.0 desktop running on top of Debian and a Colinux 0.6.2 Kernel. The viewing area of the KDE desktop is larger than the visible screen area within the Cygwin/X server window. However, I am getting no scrolling bar that lets me move around the entire KDE desktop. Unfortunately, at least one application window when opened on the KDE desktop is not completely visible because I cannot see the entire KDE desktop. Basically the KDE desktop is not being scaled into the Cygwin/X window and I can also not scroll around the desktop. What is the problem? Is there a feature I need to enable for either desktop scaling or a scrolling bar (similar to what VNC offers)? I am getting the following error in the Cygwin/X console window when it starts up: Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/, removing from list! Could the above error message be the cause of the problem described above? /Ross BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:2.1 N:MacGillivray;Ross FN:Ross MacGillivray NOTE:Sip Phone: 1-747-244-0663 TEL;HOME;VOICE:250-545-7607 ADR;HOME:;;4012 19th Street;Vernon;B.C.;V1T 7Y3;Canada LABEL;HOME;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:4012 19th Street=0D=0AVernon, B.C.

Re: link(2) fails on mounted network shares
On Tue, May 31, 2005 at 01:39:04AM +0200, Martin Koeppe wrote:
Hello,
I recently found out that you cannot create hardlinks
on mounted network shares with cygwin
(error: No such file or directory),
but you can do it with the ln.exe from Interix.
So I looked at it and found that the Windows API
function CreateHardLink() causes the trouble, it apparently
only works for local drives.
There is another API function, however, which creates hardlinks
correctly on local and network drives (tested on Win2003 shares
and Samba shares):
MoveFileEx() with parameter:
#define MOVEFILE_CREATE_HARDLINK 16
I've found two references to this in MSDN. Both say:
MOVEFILE_CREATE_HARDLINK Reserved for future use.
That doesn't sound too encouraging as far as compatibility is concerned.
Ok, but what do you think is better:
Failing with inappropiate error: no such file or directory
or using a not fully documented API function, but getting the
link right?
If you do (with the current cygwin version) on a network drive:
$ ln -s source symdest
works ok, but
$ ln source harddest
ln: creating hard link `harddest' to `source': No such file or directory
One could consider this as incompatibility, too,
because the source file is definitely there.
It would be somewhat better, if it noted, that cygwin doesn't
support creating hardlinks on network shares, and then copy the file.
But for me, even copying would be bad, as I need the link semantic
in my case. So copying may be considered incompatible as well.
I did another test: I used MoveFileExA() on Win98 on a
Win2000 mounted share. But there, instead of a hardlink, an
ordinary move is done, i.e. source gets deleted.
Then I made a third test: A Win98 share mounted on Win2K:
With cygwin's ln (i.e. CreateHardLink()) I get
no such file or diectory, whereas with MoveFileEx()
I get ERROR_UNEXP_NET_ERR (59), which Interix translates to
Network is down.
Both error conditions are not meaningful,
but at least MoveFileEx() doesn't do unexpected actions,
but aborts with error code.
When the cygwin workaround of copying the file is concerned,
it should be done in this case, as the real situation is:
hardlink not supported.
Or maybe, when running on =Win2K, the copy workaround
should be completely disabled. Would probably mean, that
cygwin must be installed on a NTFS drive with these OSes
(because the cygwin OS may rely on having hardlinks
available), but does that matter nowadays?
If you don't like to completely replace CreateHardLink(),
one maybe could do something like this:
BOOL ok = false;
DWORD err;
if (this OS is Win2K/XP/2K3) {
ok = CreateHardLink();
err = GetLastError();
if (err == ERROR_INVALID_NAME /* 123 */) {
// retry with MoveFileEx()
ok = MoveFileEx();
err = GetLastError();
}
}
if (! ok) {
// do workaround or error handling
}
I tested MoveFileEx() successfully on Win2K, Win2K3 (both server and client)
and Samba3 (only as server).

Re: winbase.h (ilockexch)
I should have googled a bit more before I sent the patch. It seems that even though xchg could be used it is not being used becasue it is slower than cmpxchg imlementation of InterlockedExchange. I thus withdraw the patch. VH.

Explicit lock prefix is not needed because xchg instruction sets LOCK# signal implicitly. A similar implementation in the linux kernel seems to disagree with you. cgf
Re: Using Perl to access serial ports
This is just a bit of an update. I have got Win32::SerialPort working, at least a limited capacity. After taking a look at the source for it, I discovered that this module is actually just straight Perl, and it relies on Win32::API. I have already been using /Reini's cut down version of this for some time, and so I thought this might work. And it does, at least for the simple functions. ie I can set the baud rates, parity etc. Write a few bytes and read them back after waiting enough time for the external device to reply. This functionality is actually all I needed to read my precision thermometer. Since Reini's Win32:API module does not support call backs any Win32::SerialPort functions that utilise the call backs will not work. I have not had the chance to delve into exactly what functions that is yet. I plan to look further into that, but I have limited time to devote to this - especially now main goal is achieved. Regards, Jason ps. I was never able to get the /dev/com1 or /dev/ttyS1 devices working. I expected that I would be able to echo commands into /dev/com1 and cat replies from it. /// -- 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: pthreads, cygwin and pthread_mutex_lock not blocking
Well, here is a simple test case, but turns out I wasn't using the
latest version. I was having the problem on 1.5.12, I haven't been
able to get a good build with cygwin 1.5.17-1. It builds and I can run
the install script, but when I put the dll in place I see the message
cygheap magic number mismatch detected, and gcc doesn't want to work.
I followed the instructions on the FAQ page for building cygwin. Also
the only line that I changed was in winsup/cygwin/include/pthread.h,
line 56
from
#define PTHREAD_MUTEX_DEFAULT PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK
to
#define PTHREAD_MUTEX_DEFAULT PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL
On the unmodified cygwin 1.5.17, the parent lock returns 45 (EDEADLK)

When I do the same on linux or soloris, the pthread_mutex_lock

Why is cygwin using PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK as the default? And
what

PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL?
Why not just try it and report the results?
Done. Hangs at WaitForSingleObject.
Can you provide a STC(tm) (simple test case) which demonstrates the

permissions and user data backups
I'm trying to set up automated rsync backups, but I'm running into some problems. When I manually run my rsync script as Administrator, opening some user folders gives permission denied. Is there a way to create a root/SYSTEM like user? or alternatively, how would I go about acheiving the desired effect? Would I have to install cron as SYSTEM instead of a user with administrative privileges? If possible, I would like to find a solution that doesn't involve fiddling with ACL's or the permissions of the files in question. Many thanks in advance for your help. -David # # -- /etc/passwd --- (including a poor attempt at a root user) # SYSTEM:*:18:544:,S-1-5-18:: Administrators:*:544:544:,S-1-5-32-544:: Administrator:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:500:513:U-CHUPAS\Administrator,S-1-5-21-725345543-492894223-854245398-500:/home/Administrator:/bin/bash Guest:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:501:513:U-CHUPAS\Guest,S-1-5-21-725345543-492894223-854245398-501:/home/Guest:/bin/bash HelpAssistant:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:1000:513:Remote Desktop Help Assistant Account,U-CHUPAS\HelpAssistant,S-1-5-21-725345543-492894223-854245398-1000:/home/HelpAssistant:/bin/bash userB:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:1004:513:U-CHUPAS\userB,S-1-5-21-725345543-492894223-854245398-1004:/home/userB:/bin/bash userA:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:1003:513:U-CHUPAS\userA,S-1-5-21-725345543-492894223-854245398-1003:/home/userA:/bin/bash root:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:1006:18:root,U-CHUPAS\root,S-1-5-21-725345543-492894223-854245398-1006:/home/root:/bin/bash sshd:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:1005:513:sshd privsep,U-CHUPAS\sshd,S-1-5-21-725345543-492894223-854245398-1005:/var/empty:/bin/bash SUPPORT_388945a0:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:1002:513:CN=Microsoft Corporation,L=Redmond,S=Washington,C=US,U-CHUPAS\SUPPORT_388945a0,S-1-5-21-725345543-492894223-854245398-1002:/home/SUPPORT_388945a0:/bin/bash # # --- /etc/group --- # root:S-1-5-32-544:0: SYSTEM:S-1-5-18:18: None:S-1-5-21-725345543-492894223-854245398-513:513: Administrators:S-1-5-32-544:544: Backup Operators:S-1-5-32-551:551: Guests:S-1-5-32-546:546: Network Configuration Operators:S-1-5-32-556:556: Power Users:S-1-5-32-547:547: Remote Desktop Users:S-1-5-32-555:555: Replicator:S-1-5-32-552:552: Users:S-1-5-32-545:545: HelpServicesGroup:S-1-5-21-725345543-492894223-854245398-1001:1001: _ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

Is any way to solve this problem and compile libpcap or a ported version of this? The first step is to check whether there's an official libpcap package for Cygwin. The Cygwin Package search page at http://cygwin.com/packages/ doesn't return any useful matches for pcap, so the answer to that is no. The second step is to do a Google search for cygwin libpcap and notice that the first result refers to something called WinPcap. Scrolling down on that same Google results page gets you to the WinPcap ChangeLog page, which states, among other things: wpcap.dll has been updated to libpcap 0.8.3 from http://www.tcpdump.org. The third step is to build WinPcap under Cygwin. If your application works correctly, and modulo any license issues, you may want to offer to maintain a Cygwin libpcap package.

So I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish here. Actually, that's true in general. You really haven't described in any detail what you're attempting to do and how you're going about doing it. You refer to 'cron' and 'rsync' and automated backups, as well as permission denied errors you get on some folders, but you haven't told us anything about the folders and what you're actually invoking to get these errors. Nor do we know the permissions (rwx and ACL) on these folders. If I had to guess, I'd say they are probably owned by SYSTEM and not Administrator, which would be at least one reason why you would see such an error. I can't imagine any magic would allow a user access to a file when none exists though so beyond adding the permissions needed to the files/folders in question, any other solution would be a bug. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.

Re: Re: 1.5.16: DuplicateHandle(Out) failed (e=6)
Thank you for your willingness to help. I recently upgraded from Cygwin 1.5.6-1 to 1.5.16-1. Does it still happen with 1.5.17-1? Yes. showProb.sh: ### #!/bin/sh perl -S showProb.pl That's not a bash script. Is the -S necessary? (= search for perl script on your path) No, the -S is not necessary. I removed the -S and recieved the same error. I used cl to compile showProb.c: cl showProb.c -o showProb.exe. Does it fail for you compiled with: gcc -o showProb.exe -mno-cygwin showProb.c It doesn't for me, on cygwin 1.5.17-1. DuplicateHandle works for me as well if compiled with gcc. Only when it is compiled with cl (Microsoft's C compiler) do I have this problem. As Gerrit Haase mentioned, the problem is possibly a quirk with cl. Again, I only have the DuplicateHandle if the showProb.pl script is called from showProb.sh. Otherwise, DuplicateHandle works when compiled with cl. Thanks again for your assistance. I appreciate it.

The foreground Windows process appears not to get enough priority in the time sharing allocation to function at a usable speed. _ The problem disappeared after a clean reinstallation using setup to re-download everything. (My actual intent was to have a smaller set of download files in order to back up the current cygwin installation to CD, but it happened to fix the problem.) This may be flogging a dead horse (since you say the problem has gone away) but you didn't say what priority were you running the background program at. Since you didn't say--and it's obviously relevant--I wonder if you know about the facilities for setting program priorities. These include the Cygwin nice command and the Set Priority item in Task Manager (switch to process list and right-click on the process in question). I do a lot of CPU-intensive, RAM-hungry numerical work in Windows 2000, with a variety of applications, some Cygwin and some not, and I have found that they *normally* interfere with foreground operation unless I reduce the priority of the background task. Part of the problem is that Windows GUI operations may to spin off low-priority tasks which then take *forever* to execute. The DDE system seems to be particularly prone to this. So I find myself adjusting priorities regularly. ___ Thanks for the advice. I didn't know how to set priorities in Windows. I have used nice with unix but had not looked for it in Cygwin. (IIRC, there is also a more precise way to set priorities in unix.) What struck me was the change in behavior on updating cygwin1.dll with no change in the Windows configuration. Some slowdown was expected when running a big background problem, but not enough to prohibit examining directories with Windows Explorer, or doing simple text editing with MS Word. Evidently I just had a corrupt installation. I have been very happy with a four-year-old cygwin installation on a 64 Mb Windows 98 laptop running fortran programs that use nearly four times the physical memory. (Having no problems, I never upgraded.) I am glad to be able now, with the new cygwin1.dll, to make better use of the 512 Mb in my desktop. -- 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: 1.5.17 regression - 'printer name is invalid' is back
This problem probably is a result of the modifications in src/winsup/cywin/path.cc introduced in version 3.373. lpr.exe uses cygwin_conv_to_win32_path() which now is forced to check for non-absolute pathnames only: version 1.373: path_conv p (path, PC_SYM_FOLLOW | PC_NO_ACCESS_CHECK | PC_NOFULL); version 1.372: path_conv p (path, PC_SYM_FOLLOW | PC_NO_ACCESS_CHECK); lpr.exe probably should use cygwin_conv_to_full_win32_path() for a remote printer (and a local printer too?).
