Have you been using setup.exe -L -l DOSPATH to install from a local install point? I've been using the following command line options: setup.exe --local-install -l \\myshare\packages\cygwin\%MYVERSION% -R c:\utils\cygwin -r -n -A Works great except that it only installs the default package set. We are using some non-default packages and just decided to install everything. Unfortunately the only way to select install everything is to launch the GUI and select everything from the package list. I'd like to have an option that lets you determine the package set. Probably the best approach would be to take a command line option to specify a file that contains a list of packages to be installed. The plan is that once Cygwin is installed, we can add new packages and updates to our local copy of the distro and have out IT department push an upgrade to our user base using SMS. Right now the install takes over 30min which is very slow because ~2GB of data must be copied to the developer system. Our IT depart has a simple installer that just copies the files, and registry settings taken from an existing install. With the Cygwin installer, it should just update the packages that have changed. Here is a list of command line options I'm aware of: Cygwin installer command line options Command Line Options: -D --download Download from internet -L --local-install Install from local directory -s --site Download site -R --root Root installation directory -q --quiet-modeUnattended setup mode -h --help print help -l --local-package-dir Local package directory -r --no-replaceonrebootDisable replacing in-use files on next reboot. -5 --no-md5Suppress MD5 checksum verification -n --no-shortcuts Disable creation of desktop and start menu shortcuts -N --no-startmenu Disable creation of start menu shortcut -d --no-desktopDisable creation of desktop shortcut -A --disable-buggy-antivirus Disable known or suspected buggy anti virus software packages during execution. -Brooke

It's true that cxpm doesn't link against any *xpm* DLL. That's because it directly includes various .o's from the libXpm/lib when linking. So, cxpm-nox uses *different* xpm code than cxpm-x does: in fact, cxpm-nox exercises the code inside cygXpm-noX4.dll (it just has its own copy of that binary code), while cxpm(-x) exercises its own copy of the code inside cygXpm-4.dll.

Disabling XKB is not an option for me since I like my german keyboard layout and it works just fine elsewhere. So I think the FAQ might need some update: - The X Keyboard Extension doesn't work well with all versions of AIX. While AIX 5.1 is known to work, AIX 5.3 needs either disabling of XKB (via -kb) or releasing NumLock. - If somebody intends to look into this then I'm willing to run some tests that this somebody has to specify, with me having the proper test setup and all...

problem with 3D application in cygwin
Hi, I've freshly installed the entire cygwin (including opengl) in my laptop. When I start an application called Opera (calculating electromagnetic field) in another node after ssh, the 2D portion of it works OK but the 3D portion just doesn't work properly. I've attached the Xwin.log in this email. If I use something like XManager (their newest which supports opengl) and ssh (with their ssh) to login to the same node, the same application would work properly from that node shown in my laptop. I've made /usr/X1165/bin/X to point to Xwin_GL.exe. I also know that opengl is kind of activated after I use ssh -Y ; otherwise (ie. if I don't), it'd complain about not having GLX. Is there something else that I can try to solve the problem ?

Not being given the option of installing packages on setup
Hello I am a relatively new cygwin user and very new to programming. I have successfully installed and run cygwin and perl and some unix utilities on one of my PCs. I recently tried to install it on another pc (my laptop) but I do not seem to have the option of installing packages. Every single choice in the expanding menu of packages says skip. I have tried deleting the setup folders and redownloading it 4 times, and every time I get the same thing. I tried installing whatever it will install anyway, and then opening the cygwin window and asking it to show me the available packages (with the cygcheck -p command) and for kicks, to tell me the perl version that's installed, and each time it confirms that there is nothing. Is anyone aware of what conditions might cause this to be the case? I ostensibly have Windows XP professional running on both computers, but I notice that some things run differently on my laptop than my desktop, so perhaps there is something set differently. If anyone can suggest things I can check, I am happy to do that.

cygwin-1.dll long-time bug
There is a bug in all cygwin processes which leads to 100% CPU usage and locking another processes. For example, there was a windows update (installed automatically using Automatic Updates) from Microsoft, which couldn't be installed until all cygwin processes are stopped. It happens with some utilities which somehow work with process information. For example, this happens if I try to see threads tab of cygwin process in Process Explorer. I thought it was a Process Explorer's bug, but the same happens with another utilities, and even with windows updates.

The combination of csh and GNU make will hang if SHELL is g declared as /bin/csh -f. I don't know what is causing this particular issue. First a question: Can you really reproduce this problem? I'm asking because some people have peported hangs while building OpenOffice.org (cygwin's tcsh is used as part of the build environment). and if you remove the -f this cures or reduces the number of hangs. tcsh is used as the shell used by the make utility (dmake) that is used. Un-? Fortunately only a few people are able to reproduce this hang. If this really hangs reproducible for you (works fine here) this might be a start to locate the problem However, I have to strongly recommend that no one should use csh, in any form, as the value for SHELL in a makefile. There are too many odd things about the way csh works that makes it inappropriate for use with make. Primarily the issues involve quoting and multi-line scripting, but there are more subtle issues as well: for example the jobserver feature (not available on the Windows port--yet) does not work with csh, because csh has an annoying habit of closing open file descriptors when it starts up. I don't see any argument against tcsh if it does what it's supposed to do as part of the make process. Evaluate the command line and eventually start a programs for the make tool.

run.exe no longer working
All of a sudden, I find that run.exe is no longer able to launch startx. For example, I had been using for several months a desktop shortcut that calls the following target: C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe /bin/tcsh -c /usr/X11R6/bin/startx (did that get split to 2 lines? should be one) This shortcut worked like a charm for many months. Then, all of a sudden last week, it stopped working. Symptom is that NOTHING occurs - not even an error message. No new processes appear in windows Task Manager either. startx has not been modified, nor any associated start files (.Xinitrc, etc.) I installed only one new app (snoopfree privacy shield), however I subsequently uninstalled it (and rebooted), yet the problem persists. Furthermore, I have a 2nd PC upon which I installed this same app and my window manager is still able to be launched. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks, -Bob Andover, MA __ Do You Yahoo!?

Small fix to Cygwin FAQ
Hi, I'm Mateusz, a new user of Cygwin. I found there is a small disinformation in the Cygwin FAQ. Question 4.19. Why don't international (Unicode) characters work? says: Other tools that do not use readline for display, such as less and ls, require additional settings, which could be put in your ~/.bashrc: I tested this note and I noticed that .bashrc is not loaded when launching cygwin.bat or bash --login -i command. When I renamed this file to ~/.profile then it loads properly and all customizations are loaded. I suppose there were some change between Cygwin releases but the FAQ has not been updated. BTW, should I send output from cygcheck -s -v -r command?

Re: csh and/or GNU make bug
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 First a question: Can you really reproduce this problem? I'm asking because some people have peported hangs while building OpenOffice.org (cygwin's tcsh is used as part of the build environment). and if you remove the -f this cures or reduces the number of hangs. Ah, so I'm not alone. Well, it happens on my machine and under my current environment consistently. And, to clarify the matters, it happens on the very simple GNUmakefile I demonstrated in my previous message. But others failed to reproduce it---with the same versions of make, tcsh and cygwin. What else it may depend on? Perhaps applied Windows patches and Windows version? Mine is: Windows XP Professional Ver 5.1 Build 2600 Version 2002 Service Pack 2 But there are millions of additional fixes and patches that are not covered by the above.

RE: Not being given the option of installing packages on setup
Thanks for the various suggestions/comments. I'm afraid I am a little bit confused. But here's what I can confirm after trying some more things: 1. there's no doubt I have a working cygwin installation, but perl was not even on the list of packages I could choose in the install. Now that it's installed, it is not listed if I search by cygcheck -s, cygcheck -c or cygcheck -p (I understand that at least one of those should tell me what packages were downloaded and available to install, even if I didn't manage to install it yet). I tried installing from 2 different mirror sites in case they were somehow different. 2. I seem to have unix utilities in my laptop install of cygwin. 3. skip changed to keep after the initial install when I went back to the setup.exe to see if I could install perl or anything else that wasn't there when I first downloaded, later. This makes sense in light of Dave's comment below. 4. the rxvt option in the link that Igor sent me seems interesting. But I have no idea how to switch these things. There wasn't enough information in the page that I was linked to to tell me. I'm sorry-- I'm new at this.

Re: Text comes out blank using lilypond under cygwin

Python shell ignores keys
Greetings, I'm trying to use the Python shell from within Cygwin. The complication is that I need to use the Windows version of Python not the Cygwin version, ultimately through ssh, but atleast from a cygwin bash prompt for now. The problem is that the Windows Python shell ignores or doesn't recv important keys like ctrl- z or ctrl-c and the up/down cursor keys move the cursor not the command line history. Otherwise everything seems to work fine (the scripts themselves run without an issue), atleast for what I need. I do quite a lot of python programming, its not really feasible (or a good idea) to maintain a second cygwin python installation. I realize these guys are chalk and cheese, but is it possible to fix this ? Windows XP Cygwin is current Python 2.4.3 Thanks, Shane -- 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: Not being given the option of installing packages on setup
Thanks for the note on not cc'ing you. I don't know how to reply to a message if it doesn't come into my inbox. The messages I got from Dave and from Rene earlier today only went to the list, and I can only see them by looking at the archives. If there's a way to reply directly from that web window, please let me know. I couldn't figure it out. That's why I cut and pasted the message into my email software and sent the message the way I did. To clarify: when I say I reinstalled cygwin, I mean that I re-downloaded it from the web. When I say I tried to install a package after the cygwin install, it means I went to the setup and tried to add packages. It is actually difficult to reinstall cygwin because once I've done it, if I try to do it again, it just copies the files from the temp file onto my desktop again. It doesn't allow me to go to another site or select different options unless I delete all copies, all shortcuts, and reboot my computer. I don't know if there's another way to do this but this is what I've seemed to have to do. I will try it again and see if I can see the packages by toggling between view and full. I didn't have to do this in the other install I did on my desktop back in November so it never occurred to me to try it more than the one time I did and got a blank window. When I run cygcheck -cd perl as you did, on my desktop, I get the exact same thing that you showed me. When I run it on my laptop version, I get nothing. If I type perl -v on the laptop install, I get the bash: perl command not found error. Regarding the cut and paste options: maybe I'm missing something, but from the FAQ entry that you pointed to, it gives instructions for win NT and win 9.x. I have win XP and there is no properties dialog. The top of the console window is entirely blank. Is this something I can change?

RE: Not being given the option of installing packages on setup
Yes, I do mean from the cygwin site. If I click on install now and I have a copy on my laptop, there is a brief pause and then the cursor blinks again. Then there's a duplicate copy of setup.exe on my desktop (which gets named setup2.exe). I can't get it to even give me the window that asks if I want to install from the internet or the other options unless I delete everything and reboot. I am familiar with the list of usual questions it asks when it's doing an install, as I've done it multiple times now. But as I said, it wont give me those options on my laptop as long as there's a copy there. The output of cygcheck -svc that I sent was from the laptop. Thanks for the tip about the cygwin icon in the upper left of the window and the explanation about the NT family of OS. I didn't know it would expand if I clicked on it. That works fine.

cygwin, g++, templates, and DLLs
I've been struggling with this problem for over a week now, and I've
read every old (and not so old) thread on cygwin, mingw (and even MS)
mailing list I could find.
(1) you have a DLL whose source code includes a template class.
(2) that template class has a static member variable
(3) the DLL and the DLL's client both use a specific instantiation of
that template.
But the DLL has one copy of the static member var, and the app has a
different copy.
Now, because only Comeau has implemented the 'export' keyword for
templates, you really can't export a template from a DLL. From my
reading, it appears that instead, you must export a specific complete
instantiation:
template class __declspec(dllexport|dllimport) MyTemplate int ;
where the declspec argument is dllexport or dllimport, depending on
whether you're building the DLL or using the DLL. That kinda makes
sense. Except it doesn't always work...
I've uploaded a test case
ftp://cygutils.fruitbat.org/pub/cygutils/TestCase.tar.bz2
which contains the actual source code [*]
352 TestCase/TestDLL/force.cpp
136 TestCase/TestDLL/force.h
271 TestCase/TestDLL/init.cpp
341 TestCase/TestDLL/init.h
1222 TestCase/TestDLL/TestDLL.h
1271 TestCase/TestDLL/TestT.cpp
603 TestCase/TestDLL/TestT.h
335 TestCase/TestExe/main.cpp
and the pre-precessed code with a Makefile that builds the DLL and App.
820739 TestCase/force.ii
820622 TestCase/init.ii
820768 TestCase/main.ii
372 TestCase/Makefile
[*] TestDLL.h #includes 'Support/config.h' which is an entry point into
a whole mess of configury junk that I could not publish. As far as this
test case is concerned, config.h's job is simply to ensure that the
macros in TestDLL.h are properly defined (dllexport, dllimport, etc)
So, since I couldn't include that stuff, the Makefile uses the
pre-processed .ii files directly.
If you compile and link this test, you'll see the following generated
output:
$ ./TestExe

At [1], a *second* static data member is allocated for this template
specialization. That's bad. At [2], an entry is added (from the app)
into this empty data member -- when it *should* be added into the data
member allocated by the DLL, and which already contains three other
entries, instead. At [3], same song, second verse. However, if the app
calls a function in the DLL, which THEN calls a static method on the
template specialization, the correct static member var -- the one in
the DLL -- is modified. So if the app call that template class's static
method directly the wrong member var is modified -- but the app can
call indirectly thru a different function exposed by the DLL.
Inspecting the .ii files, we see that in init.ii we have
template class __attribute__((dllexport)) TESTDLL::TestT std::string ;
and in force.ii we ALSO have
template class __attribute__((dllexport)) TESTDLL::TestT std::string ;
Looking in the .o's for the static data member ('theList') using 'nm -a
--demangle force.o | grep theList', we get:
force.o:
d .data$_ZN7TESTDLL5TestTISsE7theListE
D TESTDLL::TestTstd::string::theList
init.o:
d .data$_ZN7TESTDLL5TestTISsE7theListE
D TESTDLL::TestTstd::string::theList
This is okay, because the ld knows how to merge these duplicates when
linking the DLL, as we can see by using objdump -t on the DLL. That
shows only one copy in the symbol table:
[ 16](sec 2)(fl 0x00)(ty 0)(scl 3) (nx 1) 0x0140
.data$_ZN7TESTDLL5TestTISsE7theListE
[5239](sec 2)(fl 0x00)(ty 0)(scl 2) (nx 0) 0x0140
TESTDLL::TestTstd::string::theList
This is all exactly as I'd expect. So now, let's look at the app:
in the main.ii file, I see
template class __attribute__((dllimport)) TESTDLL::TestT std::string ;
which is supposedly The Right Thing To Do.
however, using nm on main.o, I get
d .data$_ZN7TESTDLL5TestTISsE7theListE
D TESTDLL::TestTstd::string::theList
which is exactly what appears in the DLL .o's -- and that's bad.
Can anybody tell me what's really going on? I've two (feared)
possibilities:

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: bashdb-3.1_0.05-1
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 A new release of bashdb, 3.1_0.05-1, is available for use, replacing 3.00-0.02-2 as the current version. NEWS: = This is a new upstream release, corresponding to a new bash upstream release. Note that bash 3.0 will not work with bashdb-3.1_*, nor will bash 3.1 work with bashdb-3.0_*, due to some backwards incompatible changes in array variable syntax handling in bash. Since bash-3.1 is now marked current, I upgraded bashdb as well. This version also replaces the experimental bashdb-3.1-0.04-1 that was on the mirrors for a few weeks. A list of changes from bashdb-3.00-0.02-2 is attached; see also the /usr/share/doc/bashdb-3.1-0.05/ directory. DESCRIPTION: A bash shell script debugger, with command line, emacs, and ddd interfaces. It is possible to debug a bash shell script using 'bashdb file' or 'bash --debugger file'. 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 and pick up 'bashdb' from the 'Devel' category. 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 volunteer cygwin bashdb maintainer CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO: = To unsubscribe to the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the List-Unsubscribe: tag in the email header of this message.

Re: Python shell ignores keys

Re: CreateFileAndSetSecurity error
Hi, Sorry if this is offtopic but seeing as this was a problem I was only seeing in Cygwin and the only mention of it I can find on google brings me to the mailing list archive I thought I'd post my solution here. Basically whenever I did pretty much anything in cygwin I was getting the error : CreateFileandSetSecurity failed with FALSE (Expected on FAT Partitions) GLE: 32 CreateFileandSetSecurity failed with TRUE (not expected) GLE: 32 To cut a long story short I found that this was being caused by the file alockout.dll in the windows system32 directory, a file which is distributed in a microsoft toolkit to help debugging account lockout problems. Considering I wasn't having any problems with account lockouts I removed the reference of it from my windows registry and deleted the dll (after restarting) and the errors have disappeared for me.
