I've been trying to figure out why the no-preremove solution seems wrong, and came up with the following scenario: suppose bash is linked against an older libreadline, and the user upgrades both bash and libreadline to newer versions. /bin/sh will be a copy of the old version of bash, but after the upgrade it won't have the necessary DLLs. So, running the postinstall script (with /bin/sh --version) will result in a Can't locate DLL popup, which should be a no-no in a postinstall script.

Octave-related patch for rebaseall
All, I'm not certain if rebase is being actively maintained, since the last release was over a year ago. If anyone is, I have a patch for rebaseall that adds compiled octave shared libraries (*.oct) to the list of things that rebaseall can rebase. This should make rebaseall work with octave installations. Thanks, Jim Phillips, Cygwin Octave maintainer rebaseall.octave.patch Description: 3926675173-rebaseall.octave.patch

[PATCH]: Add get{delim,line} symbol alias to avoid autoconf detection failures
Hi Corinna,
I saw that you exported __get{delim,line} in the cygwin dll. I've had
this modification locally for awhile now. There are a number of
autoconfiscated applications which check for these functions and use
them if present. Unfortunately, autoconf's AC_CHECK_FUNCS will not
pickup CPP definitions in headers because the test links to the c
library using a phony prototype. Thus, in order to facilitate
autoconf, I've added the necessary resource aliases. I've also taken
the liberty of replacing the CPP definitions with actual function
prototypes for improved clarity. The patch for doing these
operations is attached. I hope you find it satisfactory.
Cheers,
Nicholas
2005-07-09 Nicholas Wourms [EMAIL PROTECTED]
* cygwin.din (getline): Add symbol alias to avoid problems with
autoconf's AC_CHECK_FUNCS macro.
(getdelim): Likewise.
* include/sys/stdio.h (getline): Improve clarity by replacing the cpp
definition with a proper function prototype.

RE: Perl Win32::Shortcut screws up fork
Adye, TJ (Tim) sagte: Answering my own question cygiconv-2.dll is used by bash, but rebaseall is a bash script. What can I do? I found I could do this by saving the rebase command-line and file list that rebaseall generates and then running the rebase command directly from the DOS prompt. Now Perl's Win32::Shortcut and fork work together! Thanks for the hint. BTW: Since I'm the libwin32 maintainer I want to add that this my package is one of the rare packages with a gbs script actually having a rebase step, so that the required rebaseall is a rare condition. But with the latest updates (perl, bash, cygwin, gcc, ...) libwin32 certainly needs an update to the actual 0.24 version; sorry, without any cygwin visible fixes, yet. perl-5.8.7 is much better though. I hope to make a perl-libwin32-0.24 during the weekend. The new Win32::GUI is top priority, which will be released today or tommorrow. Maybe a cygwin Win32::API with callbacks will also be available soon. Nevertheless, there does seem to be a problem with the rebaseall. -- 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: Perl Win32::Shortcut screws up fork
Christopher Faylor wrote: But what was wrong with my idea of making rebaseall a #!/bin/ash script? You still couldn't run the script from bash since the dlls would still be loaded. That would mean that you'd have to do something like: c:\ash rebaseall (Currently rebaseall won't work as an ash script but the fix is trivial) I guess that's better than nothing but I still think that just not rebasing the bash dlls is going to result in fewer mailing list complaints. OTOH, if we had some coordination between the maintainers of DLLs in the distribution we could reduce the need for rebase a lot. I don't know if using --enable-auto-image-base would fix every problem but I suspect that it might help. I suggest another simple solution. Teach rebase to read an INI file if called without options, this INI includes all options needed for rebaseall and then after closing all Cygwin processes a simple double click on rebase from explorer (or calling from a .bat file) would be sufficient to start it.

--with-installed-readline breaks tilde-expansion
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
On the cygwin list, a difference was pointed out between compilations of
bash that avoid or use --with-installed-readline:
static_bash$ echo $HOME ~
/home/eblake /home/eblake
static_bash$ HOME=/tmp; echo $HOME ~
/tmp /tmp
dynamic_bash$ echo $HOME ~
/home/eblake /home/eblake
dynamic_bash$ HOME=/tmp; echo $HOME ~
/tmp /home/eblake
When compiling statically (without using --with-installed-readline), bash
uses its own -ltilde, and sh_get_env_value resolves to bash's
implementation in variable.c, which correctly searches bash's alternative
environment.
When compiling dynamically out of the box (using
- --with-installed-readline), there is a link error of multiply defined
symbols. The problem here is that bash wants to use the static -ltilde
but the dynamic libreadline.dll; but since cygwin forbids dynamic
libraries with undefined symbols, libreadline.dll was already compiled
with -ltilde and all the symbols from -ltilde conflict with those from the
dynamic library. My patch to this issue is below.
When compiling dynamically with the patch applied, bash gets its
tilde-expansion routines from the dynamic libreadline. Unfortunately,
when compiling libreadline, sh_get_env_value resolves to readline's
version in shell.c, which just calls getenv(). Cygwin does not allow
bash's sh_get_env_value (or getenv) to override libreadline.dll's version
(back to that no undefined symbol rule - tilde.c cannot link into a
dynamic library with an import of sh_get_env_value unless sh_get_env_value
is defined as part of the dynamic library). So tilde expansion is now
stuck reading the global environ instead of bash's environment, and since
bash does not update environ, tilde expansion is frozen to the value of
$HOME at process invocation.
I think the best solution would be a backwards-compatible extension to the
tilde library. It should provide a new exported variable that defaults to
NULL (in which case tilde_expand_word falls back to calling the imported
sh_get_env_value), but which applications can set to override the calls to
sh_get_env_value (and thus sh_get_home_dir). It could either be a char*
(the current string representing HOME/home_dir in bash's notion of the
environment) or a function pointer (a callback that lets bash compute the
current HOME or home_dir every time it is needed), I'm not sure which of
those two options would be easier for bash. This new export would bump
the API version of readline (to 5.1?), and then compiling bash
- --with-installed-readline would have to use this new entry point so that
it can tell tilde_expand_word what to use so that tilde-expansion isn't
stuck expanding from a stale environment.

Bash 3.0 packaging problems
Hi, In addition to the issues with the prompt reported elsewhere, bash-3.0-7 seems to have some minor packaging issues: 1) The info file is missing. Running cygcheck -l bash on bash 2.05 lists /usr/share/info/bash.info but is not found in the bash 3.0 package. /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/bash-3.0.README suggest an info file should be included. 2) The package scripts don't seem to remove /bin/bash as /bin/sh when downgrading to an older version.

Re: Bash 3.0 packaging problems
1) The info file is missing.

I'll also see about building the builtins.1 man page, and creating links for all builtins not also covered by programs (ie. exit.1 would point to builtins.1, but false.1 is already claimed by coreutils). 2) The package scripts don't seem to remove /bin/bash as /bin/sh when downgrading to an older version.

As to downgrading, you must also downgrade the ash package to get /bin/sh to be ash again via setup.exe.

bash not noticing when child done
I've upgraded my cygwin and bash yesterday. I'm puzzled by what I see and every attempt I've made at generating a smaller test case has failed. Anyway, one script prints a message that it's about to call another script. On return from the script, another message is printed. The called script notices certain files are not present, then prints a message to that effect and exits with an error code. But, the message 2nd message on the calling script never prints and I'm just stumped. All I can think is that bash is unaware that the script exited or terminated.

Re: Prompting weird with new bash
Eric, Not sure if you are the person to address this to...but since you appear to be the Cygwin maintainer for Bash, I figured I'd throw it your way. http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#PPIOSPE $ tail -n 1 /usr/share/doc/cygwin/bash-3.0.README Please address all questions to the Cygwin mailing list at cygwin@cygwin.com Since the upgrade to 3.0-7, I've seen all sorts of quirky stuff happening with the prompt -- things that worked fine with 2.x. For some reason, the presence of escape sequences seem to leave the terminal prompt in a strange state where cursor/line positioning seems to get off track: PS1='\[\e]0;termwindow\a\][plaintext] ' Known issue. See http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2005-07/msg00259.html. I'm looking for time to try and find a fix. On my machine, the prompt has two spaces after the '' character (it should have only one). Now to see the quirky behavior, try tab-expanding any command (like ps). As soon as you type 'ps[TAB]', the cursor will move to the correct location. But the weirdness does not end there. If you just let the character repeat on any key take you near the end of the line in the terminal, it will return with a linefeed before it gets to the end. If you want to see an exaggeration of the problem, try this prompt: PS1='\[\e]0;[EMAIL PROTECTED]:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:\[\e[3 4m\]\w\[\e[0m\]] ' Things look normal with that one until you try the tab expansion thingy again. Type 'ps[TAB]' produces something that looks like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~] ps] ps I've tried these prompts on a few other platforms running versions of Bash 3.0.x. On a Solaris machine, I compiled the latest bash source tarball after applying all of the patches I could find -- GNU bash, version 3.00.15(1)-release (sparc-sun-solaris2.8). No problems with that one. I also tried it on a recent Linux distro -- GNU bash, version 3.00.16(2)-release -- and didn't encounter any issues with that one either. Just to be sure that it wasn't something unique to the one machine, I also tried it on another cygwin installation on another machine, and it had the same problems. I know it's not critical, but it certainly can be annoying when characters begin to overwrite each other during tab expansions (of which I tend to overuse). At any rate, I hope it helps you sort out any bugs.

Perhaps should one to change someting in this *.sh file (see Attc.) ?

Yep. The new /bin/sh is bash. Apparently, bash doesn't like the
following line:
if [ `echo $dllname | sed 's{^lib/.*\.dll${{'` != $dllname ]; then
because in bash, ${ has special meaning -- it starts a variable reference.
FWIW, I get the same error with bash -n wingcc_ld.sh when bash is
version 2.05b. I suspect this may actually be a bug in bash, since single
quotes ought to stop it from trying to expand variable references. This
only happens when the single quotes are inside a shell substitution (i.e.,
echo '${' works, but echo `echo '${'` doesn't). Nevertheless,
changing the '{' to any other character (e.g., '#') in the sed script
makes it parse correctly.

Downgrading a package at time, I have seen that reinstalling
ash-20040127-1 (and using Bash-3.0-7, coreutils-5.3.0-7) all works fine.
All works fine also if one uses the new versions of those pkgs. and

Of course, because downgrading to ash-20040127-1 (re)installed ash
as /bin/sh, and ash does not have the parsing bug (for once! usually,
it is ash that is buggy and bash that is POSIX compliant).
All works fine also if one uses the new versions of those pkgs. and
changes '/bin/sh' in '/bin/ash' in 'wingcc_ld.sh' (/bin/bash does not

You could also follow the advice already given in this thread, so that
using bash as /bin/sh will work - change the culprit line to not trigger
bash's parsing bug. Also, I would advise you to report the bug to the
upstream maintainers of ROOT, so they know how to work around
the bash bug triggered by their wingcc_ld.sh script:
if [ $(echo $dllname | sed 's{^lib/.*\.dll${{') != $dllname ]; then
or
if [ `echo $dllname | sed 's#^lib/.*\.dll$##'` != $dllname ]; then
Meanwhile, you will have to wait patiently until the upstream
maintainer releases a patch (because I haven't the faintest clue
where in the lexer to look for fixing his parse error). Repeated
pinging on the cygwin list will not help speed up the situation.

- fix NT_get_state:
- allow using the VK_LWIN key as a meta key (people who use litestep

Re: Ping autoconf maintainer (was Re: auto tools issues)
Brian Ford wrote: $ aclocal [snip underquoted macro definition warnings] ac-wrapper: /usr/bin/autom4te-2.13 is missing or not executable. Something is very wrong. aclocal: autom4te failed with exit status: 1 Any ideas? Thanks. BTW, according to the http://cygwin.com/packages search, atuom4te-2.31 doesn't exist in any cygwin package. So, why is it looking for it? Short version: you're running the wrong aclocal. The automake tools no longer try to figure out which version of themselves to use; you need to tell them. Run /usr/sbin/alternatives --set automake /usr/bin/automake-1.4 to make automake-1.4 (and aclocal-1.4) the 'active' version on your machine. Long version: You're running aclocal from automake-1.9, which tries to invoke unversioned autom4te from (some) autoconf package. There IS an unversioned autom4te in /usr/bin -- which is a new (linux-derived and not home-grown-for-cygwin) wrapper script. All autoconf wrapper scripts will attempt to deduce the corrent version of their underlying tools to run. This is happening properly in your case; the autom4te script figures out that you need to use the autoconf-2.13 distribution. So, it tries to launch autom4te-2.13. But that's the ONE case where the wrappers will bomb: because there is no autom4te in -2.13. The real problem is that aclocal should not have tried to call autom4te in your case -- but its behavior is normal for the automake-1.9.x distribution because 1.9.x REQUIRES autoconf-2.5x or better. So, ensure that you are using aclocal-1.4 NOT aclocal-1.9.

Unwanted .exe appended to symlinks
I use
ln -s /cygdrive/c /c
ln -s /cygdrive/f /f
etc as a convenient mechanism to arrange that the
shorthand /c/{pathname} can be used instead of the
longer /cygdrive/c/{pathname}. I only have to do this once and if I had
not happened for other reasons to need to re-create these links I would
not have noticed the following; but I did need to.
Following the recent upgrade to cygutils I find that the symlink is
created as /c.exe not /c and /f.exe not /f in cases where the drive
exists. Where it doesn't (e.g. it isn't plugged in but might be later so
I am just preparing the way) then
ln -s /cygdrive/h /h
works as before: the symlink /h exists, and is not called /h.exe.

Re: Unwanted .exe appended to symlinks
The reason mentioned in the previous posting for re-creating symlinks is that periodically (after several updates) I run through all 3000 of them re-creating them; that way I can be sure they are all Windows +R *.lnk files rather than Windows +S files, which can't be guaranteed to copy properly to other media. So, I wonder, has an unwanted trailing .exe been incorporated in other contexts than that described in the previous post? Not that I can see. No problems with (say) ln -s oldname extraname where oldname is a textfile. Also, in other cases where oldname really is an executable, extraname does not seem to have the trailing .exe. There must be something special about doing this with a drivename. Can any expert confirm whether I ought to look elsewhere for this strange appendix? I admit it's my fault for meddling but it's not that daft an activity to have pursued, and certainly ln -s /cygdrive/c /c must be a fairly common solution to an annoying problem (that of having to write a lot).

Confirmed. Unfortunately, this is a side effect of my improvements to ln to unify the cygwin-specific .exe code which tries to determine when the original file exists as just file vs. file.exe. Inside normal directories, the test is simple - check if file. exists (since Windows flattens the trailing .). But for virtual filenames (such as /cygdrive, /proc/registry, //server, or managed drives), the trailing . trick doesn't work. I really NEED a way to tell whether a file exists with exact spelling, or had .exe appended, and you've found a place where the trailing . trick is not cutting it. Since ln, mv, and cp share my cygwin-specific code now, I imagine it is probably easy to find a similar bug in cp or mv. Is there an easy way to tell if a filename resolves to a virtual mount, instead of a disk file, and therefore know that the trailing . trick won't work? Where it doesn't (e.g. it isn't plugged in but might be later so I am just preparing the way) then ln -s /cygdrive/h /h works as before: the symlink /h exists, and is not called /h.exe. Hmm, I thought that a possible workaround might be using ln -s /cygdrive/h. /h, even when h exists. It correctly created /h, supressing the .exe extension, but now stat /h shows that the link has length 12 but only points to the 11 characters /cygdrive/h (in other words, cygwin chopped the trailing dot from the link name, so it is reporting the wrong length). Furthermore, since /cygdrive/h. doesn't exist, the link is useless without any indication that it is broken because of the invisible trailing dot: $ ln -s /cygdrive/d. d $ readlink d /cygdrive/d $ stat d File: `d' - `/cygdrive/d' Size: 12 Blocks: 1 IO Block: 1024 symbolic link Device: d47c93feh/3564934142d Inode: 50665495808013319 Links: 1 Access: (0777/lrwxrwxrwx) Uid: ( 1007/ eblake) Gid: ( 513/None) Access: 2005-07-08 21:56:04.20900 -0600 Modify: 2005-07-08 21:56:01.599625000 -0600 Change: 2005-07-08 21:56:01.599625000 -0600 $ ls d d@ $ ls d/ ls: d/: No such file or directory - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!

File Naming Between Cygwin and Windows
I am trying to access via a cygwin application a file called kdeinit-127.0.0.1:0. The filename is generated within the software, so it is not trivial to change the file name in the file access via the file system. However the underlying Windows file system does not accept colons (:), so the file is actually called kdeinit-127.0.0.1_0. How does cygwin deal with characters not accepted by the windows file system such as colon(:). Does it translate these characters automtically in file system calls? /Ross -- 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 would seem to me that this would be better done via mount than ln (and would closer parallel other Unicies as well). If you want to be able to access the drive under different conditions (-x or -X would seem be the most likely culprit here), add a new mount for the drive (this is what I usually do, even though the settings usually aren't any different from '/cygdrive's).
