Re: cygwin gnome-terminal pty error
I haven't had a chance to get back to it and I'm still stuck using a boat load of xterms all over the place instead of the nice tabs I could have had gnome-terminal work as expected. That's the thing about cygwin ... you get really weird errors that not many people have seen before. Oh wait. Now that I read your email again (and carefully) I see you haven't seen my newer email. After the last update, I'm now getting a different behavior. I'm not getting the pty errors, which is what made me install cygserver btw, (which somehow got rid of my fork problems, that's another story though) but the gnome terminal doesn't do anything. That is, before, at least the menus did work (what gnome-terminal really is) but the canvas was blank. Now not even the menus work. I'll get back to it eventually ... unless you find a solution before me. One thing seems certain though: nobody is using gnome-terminal.

[NON-WHINE] RE: mkstemp vs. text mode
From: Gary R. Van Sickle From: Gary R. Van Sickle From: Christopher Faylor [snip] Yes, I think it makes sense to open temp files in binary but I'll bet that someone is relying on textmode behavior. I'll see that bet and raise you; I'll bet this results in massive problems. Welp, looks like I (probably) lose that hand (happily). Using: CYGWIN_NT-5.1 DFW5RB41 1.5.20s(0.155/4/2) 20060418 12:31:05 i686 Cygwin with a /tmp mounted as text mode works fine for a configure, build, and install of wxWindows. The configure does most of the temp file machinations, with about 2000 add, modify, and remove events in the /tmp directory, as reported by a program I have for monitoring such things. -- Gary R.

cygwin server sends the same key fingerprint all the time
Hi, I have cygwin 1.74 server running on Windows 2000. I connect to this server programmatically (using sshtools java API that supports OpenSSH) to execute secure ftp. I created public/private key pair, appended the public key (converted to openSSH) authorized_keys and authorized_keys1 on server. Everything worked fine. I was asked Do you want to accept this key ? the first time and the known_hosts file was written and subsequent connections went without interruptions. I am trying to use new keys and paste my public key to known_hosts on the client, so that even on the first connection, the prompt wouldn't appear. At this time, I realised that whatever new key I append to the servers authorized_keys files and whatever private key file I use on the client, the server (remote) sends in the SAME key fingerprint every time. I even erased everything from authorized_keys files and tried connection, I still get a key fingerprint and if I accept it, it is written to client's known_hosts. Doesn't this mean that cygwin is not loading my new keys and that the previous key is stored somewhere else which I do not know ? I restart the server every time I append a key ( cygrunsrv --start sshd ). any clue would be a great help, thanks in advance, Soumya. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

bash completion
Hi, I have the following prompt in bash (Gentoo style): PS1='\[\033[01;[EMAIL PROTECTED] \[\033[01;34m\]\w $ \[\033[00m\]' When I press TAB to get the list of possible completion on the command line, I have some extra characters added to the display: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ cd /c/tab Documents and Settings/RECYCLER/ cygwin/ tmp/ System Volume Information/ Program Files/ WINDOWS/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ cd /c// or [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ cd ttab test/ tmp/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ cd t t If I remove the last escape sequence, the first example works fine but the second displays tt. If I remove the last two escape sequences, both work fine. The default cygwin prompt works fine but if I remove the \n before the $ sign, I get similar issues. I think I saw a mention of a bash 3.0 bug like this more than a year ago but I can't google it anymore. Also this prompt works fine in Gentoo (bash 3.1.16(1)) and in Fedora Core 4 (bash 3.00.16(1)) so it would point to a bug in cygwin (or Fedora and Gentoo have a patch to fix it). Any suggestion?

Hello,
I've been trying to get awk to write to the serial port under cygwin.

this doesn't work in awk but
cat file.txt /dev/com1
works fine.
Can you help me out?
Thanks,

WJFFM. You'll have to be more specific about the nature of your problem.
In particular, you should provide all of the information requested in the
Cygwin problem reporting guidelines at http://cygwin.com/problems.html.
When you do, please make sure to *attach* the output of cygcheck -svr,
not include it inline.

I take that back. It works for me if I use lowercase print, which is an
awk command. The uppercase PRINT is interpreted as an (empty) awk
variable, and awk interprets a constant expression in statement context
just like C does -- i.e., it ignores it. This is not Cygwin-specific;
you'll get the same results on Linux.

ssh and a particular client
I'm having trouble using cygwin and ssh, connecting to a particular client of ours.

Any ideas of where I should start looking? Try adding -v's to your ssh command line for more details. You can add multiple -v switches to increase verbosity. Are you using -X ot -Y?

1.5.19-4 a bad build?
I just upgraded to 1.5.19-4 from what I had installed back in 2004. I selected to install everything.

During the post-install, I got several error popups regarding the following dll missing: No need to post 3 times - we heard you the first. cygminires.dll cygXft-2.dll cygopt-0.dll cygintl-2.dll My guess is that you had a cygwin program still running when you did the upgrade, leading to postinstall script failure. Normally, setup.exe does the right thing if you upgrade when no cygwin process is running. But the fix is simple - stop all cygwin processes, rerun setup.exe, and let it once again determine dependencies it needs to install. Also, there is no /usr/bin/make! I'm not sure what else is missing though. I have attached my cygcheck output. Found out zip is missing too. We ask for cygcheck output as an uncompressed text attachment for a reason - so that we can read it without having to save it off to a file and unzipping it. (translation, I didn't bother to read your cygcheck output, because it was not easily accessible, so I probably missed out on some clues that might have made my response more to the point on how to fix your particular problem).

getline error with make
Dear Cygwin mailing list, When trying to 'make' FontForge on Cygwin, we get the following error. gimagereadxpm.c:128: error: conflicting types for 'getline' /usr/include/sys/stdio.h.31: error: previous declaration of 'getline' was here gimagereadxpm.c:128: error: conflicting types for 'getline' /usr/include/sys/stdio.h.31: error: previous declaration of 'getline' was here gimagereadxpm.c:84: warning: 'LookupXColorName' defined but not used make[1]: *** [gimagereadxpm.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/User1/fontforge_cvs/gdraw' make: *** [libgdraw] Error 2 Is this considered to be FontForge's problem by Cygwin people, because of the addition of getline or something like that, recently added to Cygwin? FontForge people consider it to be Cygwin's problem--they believe there is a problem with stdio.h. Hope there might be some solution to this problem, from one or both sides. . .

Both. Cygwin CVS has already guarded the declaration with _GNU_SOURCE, so it is not exposed in a strict compilation environment. And FontForge should realize that the Austin group is considering including the GNU definition of readline as a mandatory function in the next version of POSIX, so any application that wants to use their own version needs to be aware that a standardized version will likely also exist soon. -- 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/
Re: 1.5.19-4 a bad build?
Sorry, I didn't mean to post three times. The error message I got from the mail server seems that my message wasn't being delivered. I was able to get a 1.5.19-4 succesfully, what the issue was kernel.org didn't have all the packages for some reason. I did another install from a *.anl.gov that a friend told me to use and I was able to get a successful download and install. So, no, there wasn't any cygwin processes running.
