If he *were* to remove that installation of MKS, he would then discover that his Rational Rose/Clearcase/Clearquest installation was broken.

Re: rsync over ssh hang issue understood
Hi,
there has been a discussion about Cygwin hangs last December/January. I
think the problem is still alive. I tested with the current snapshot of
cygwin dll (2006-04-24). I can reproduce it with the short script
attached on my WinXP (all patches applied via online update). The script
generates a lot of random files on the server side (here on localhost)
and rsyns them to the client side (here same machine).
For the script to run, a sshd has to started on the local machine and
the user name has to be adapted within the script. Could some of you
please run the script twice (the error only occurs when the files
already exist on the client side) in order to see if the script also hangs?

How do I detect a failure in Make?

There are more things after these makes but I don't want them to run unless the makes worked. I'm used to MS-DOS errorlevels. I assume there is a way of accessing the errorlevel from a program (assuming it generates one) or any other way. The make is failing with ... make: *** [test_xml] Segmentation fault (core dumped) I always thought a core dump was a bad thing, but it is what happens. Any ideas?

rm -rf ./foo/ safe to use?
Rightly or wrongly over the years I've refrained from using cygwin to delete large directories; instead, from bash I'll cd to the parent dir, and run: cmd /c rmdir /s /q MYDIR2DELETE I think I had read something years back about cygwin's inode simulation (sorry to munge up the terminology), being imperfect; so that may have convinced me to not use rm -rf DIRXXX. So is rm -rf ./foo/ safe to use? Is there any danger that anything other than ./foo/ will be deleted?

Note that using 'exit $?' is good practice because it means your *script* will fail, which means you can embed your *script* like you've embedded 'make' and take action based on if it succeeds or fails (this is ALWAYS good practice in the pipe-biased environment of UNIX). However, be careful that you don't do something that replaces $? with the exit status of someone other than 'make' (in which case you should either save the status or 'exit non-zero constant'). -- Matthew All of my signatures are 100% original.

RE: rm -rf ./foo/ safe to use?
A few years ago, I came across a rm -rf problem with NFSv2 and NFSv3 clients. NFS clients on Solaris 8 and 9, AIX 4.3, and the Hummingbird on Windows all had a problem with rm -rf, against a certain NFS server. The problem was an NFS protocol implementation short-cut. When reported, one of the vendors fixed the problem, others did not. I do not know if the problem still exists (but can check to see if does). I have never tested the cygwin NFS client against the above-mentioned NFS server. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Eric Blake Sent: Wednesday, April 26, 2006 10:02 AM To: cygwin@cygwin.com Subject: Re: rm -rf ./foo/ safe to use?

Re: rsync over ssh hang issue understood
Just to back this up, we cant get basic rsync to run reliably using cygwin either.

Re: Fixing the state of C++ in Cygwin
There is a CERN application, ROOT, that when it is built with current Cygwin GCC 3.4.4-1, has problems at runtime (hang, stackdump...). But following this http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-04/msg00634.html, I have made a build of GCC-3.4.4 that includes --enable-fully-dynamic-string. This new GCC build seems to have solved those problems! It would be desirable to see this fixed in Cygwin as promised in http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-10/msg00085.html.

I've Googled, grepped, and groped in an attempt to locate the package containing CYGREADLINE6.DLL so I can reinstall it.

RE: Call for testing Cygwin snapshot
While I was watching the tumbleweeds blow by, I did some more investigation on the problems I've been encountering with snapshots. First of all, I tested every snapshot (always the FULL snapshot, of course) from 2006-03-09 onwards with the following results: 20060309 - Last non-problematic snapshot For the following snapshots, stuck processes are generated by bash script cron job: 20060313 20060322 20060323 20060324 20060326 20060329 20060413 20060417 20060418 20060421 20060424 20060426 For the following snapshots, the rxvt shell window closes right away (as reported in http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-03/msg00487.html): 20060314 20060315 20060318 20060319 20060320 20060321 20060403 - run.exe does not work properly 20060412 - The login shell window display the following errors: mkdir: `': No such file or directory Copying skeleton files. These files are for the user to personalise their cygwin experience. These will never be overwritten. /usr/bin/install: accessing `//.bashrc': No such host or network path /usr/bin/install: accessing `//.bash_profile': No such host or network path /usr/bin/install: accessing `//.inputrc': No such host or network path bash: /bin/cygwin: No such file or directory 1 skel Then with the help of Ernie Coskrey (the only person to suggest anything useful for me to try), I installed the Windows debugger to take a peek at some of the stuck processes. (I'm not a Windows programmer - I do Unix - so I need help with such things.) In this case, I used the full 20060426 snapshot and generated some stuck processes. The output from 'ps' showed the following: PIDPPIDPGID WINPID TTY UIDSTIME COMMAND 2944 11332 29292? 78809 13:54:03 /usr/bin/diff 32184 1 436 2860? 78809 14:00:03 /usr/bin/mv 1560 1 28372 29084? 78809 14:06:05 /usr/bin/diff 9768 1 23420 24436? 78809 14:12:04 /usr/bin/diff Looking at the Windows Task Manager, those processes were not listed, but what I suppose to be their shell processes were: Image Name PID bash.exe2736 bash.exe9500 bash.exe 29048 bash.exe 30324 Note that no bash processes were listed by Cygwin under 'ps'.

Cygwin 1.5.19 Windows 2003 / croned shells stay hung
Hi, this problem only concern shells run by cron dameon. By running shells manually they always work. Every scripts logs in general log file that is access by every croned shell and each of them use temp files for their business. The scripts call generally database command interpreters for very short queries. We use cygwin for 2/3 years on NT4, Windows 2000 to run admin bash scripts. On NT4 no problem at all, whatever we do, everything is fine. On Windows 2000, we got sometimes croned processes that stayed stuck. It was random and not depending on service pack or CPU load, as it could happen on an idle machine or a very busy server. In every problem, the request is finished and the database command interpreter has exited. Only remains the cron, the sh and the bash processes, all of 3 idle. A simple kill pid is sufficient, have to kill -9 pid to get rid of them. Generally, we run about 6 jobs every quarter. Cronning them simultaneously increases the chance of having a process stuck. By moving the differents executions of few minutes it works well. Until Janurary 2006, we were using an old version (1.5.3-1). When we installed the 1.5.19, all the windows 2000 problems disappeared ! Since we installed on Windows 2003 (SP1 or not) few weeks ago, the same problem came back. So I got my own croned job garbage collector that avoid having 50 bash.exe/sh.exe and cron.exe in the air after one month of execution. I browse for a long time the mailing lists and google and so on. If you have some advices or questions, ...

Reproducible hang with unusual border conditions
On my search for the infamous cygwin hang while building OOo, see http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2005-12/msg00279.html, and http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Windows#Miscellaneous_info that I couldn't reproduce myself (WJFFM) I finally managed to get a reproducible hang on my systems that might be related. As said, the original OOo build works just fine here, but there is an alternative possibility to build OOo with 4nt instead of tcsh, and from that I managed to reproduce a small testcase. Unfortunately it requires 4nt :( and some strict/strange border conditions: 1. It only hangs from rxvt. (Invoked with shortlink from desktop to: C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -cr green -sl 1000 -tn linux -e /usr/bin/bash --login -i) I guess the actual switches don't matter. Startting the following example from the bash that is started from the cygwin icon (cygwin.bat) didn't show the problem so far. 2. Only hangs for real background processes started with setsid.

Ghost processes on Cygwin
I'm seeing something funny. While trying to build a large program on Cygwin using cl.exe (i.e. I am building a non-Cygwin app; just using Cygwin to drive 'make'), every now and then, cl.exe hangs. Before you tell me I'm on the wrong list :-), here's the funny part. If I do 'ps' in Cygwin, I can see the 'cl' process, along with its WINPID. However, it doesn't show up in task manager! Also, there are about five processes that are clearly Cygwin processes (bash.exe or sh.exe) that do NOT show up in Cygwin's 'ps'. Is there any logic to this that I'm missing? I want to attach a debugger (probably devenv, since gdb - unsurprisingly - doesn't seem to work) to cl.exe to try to find out why it's hung, but I can't find the pid to attach to! -- Matthew All of my signatures are 100% original.

While trying to build a large program on Cygwin using cl.exe (i.e. I am building a non-Cygwin app; just using Cygwin to drive 'make'), every now and then, cl.exe hangs. Before you tell me I'm on the wrong list :-), here's the funny part. If I do 'ps' in Cygwin, I can see the 'cl' process, along with its WINPID. However, it doesn't show up in task manager! Also, there are about five processes that are clearly Cygwin processes (bash.exe or sh.exe) that do NOT show up in Cygwin's 'ps'. Is there any logic to this that I'm missing? Yes. Windows doesn't implement the exec* family of linux system calls so cygwin has to kludge it. cgf -- 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: cygwin quite mode install with non default packages

But when I try to install from the local directory it is not installing the needed packages like unzip. So I run the setup.exe with interactive mode and found that again by default the unzip package is not marked for install. So Can somebody give light on this. Any short of help will be greatly appreciated. If I'm not mistaken, I believe the simplest and easiest way to do what you want to do is to simply edit your local setup.ini to put the packages you want into the Base category. Everything in Base is automatically installed. There are other ways to achieve something similar, such as http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2006-04/msg00039.html or http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin-apps/package-server.html But if you just want to do this once, editing the setup.ini file is probably the easiest thing to do. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.

Re: Building CGAL libs on Cygwin - Problems

Re: Fixing the state of C++ in Cygwin
Angelo Graziosi wrote: There is a CERN application, ROOT, that when it is built with current Cygwin GCC 3.4.4-1, has problems at runtime (hang, stackdump...). But following this http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-04/msg00634.html, I have made a build of GCC-3.4.4 that includes --enable-fully-dynamic-string. This new GCC build seems to have solved those problems! It would be desirable to see this fixed in Cygwin as promised in http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-10/msg00085.html. Did you have much trouble building gcc-3.4.4-1? I have been trying off and on for several weeks to get it to build with no errors. Interestingly, the --enable-fully-dynamic-string is set by default in the build script. The bash script that does the build will not even run due an error with an extra ) into the install2 option. There is also a problem with a libstdc++ Makefile that might be caused by an error in bash, itself. I also question the wisdom of requiring building of all of the gcc languages: c, c++, d, objc, ada, and java requires a considerable amount of time. The reason why the source files have not been patched already is bothersome in itself. I do not have a clue whether a particular patch should be reversed or not before being applied, in ada, for example. I just accepted the default and hoped for the best. I am getting closer, in any case. On the positive side, I have learned how to use the base debugger, bashdb, as well the make debugger, remake. So far, I am lost a considerable amount of time, both in tracking the original cause of the DLL string crashes and in trying to rebuild gcc to solve the problem. Since the cause and a fix have been known for some time now, I, too, am perplexed why an official version has not been released. -- 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/
