XWin 6.8.99.901-4-Problems with fonts and clipboard module - cygcheck.out (0/1)
I am reposting my problem since it has not been resolved after forty hours of troubleshooting the situation. Even though this mail list gave me some insight, I still need better guidance. General comments will not help this newcomer decipher the error log and deduct the course of action. This post is my last effort to avoid installing and reinstalling cygwin, which will provide a challenge after setting up ssh and all the paths. Startx failed to initialize when it had been working in the past. I ran setup and the process may have not completed (it was late). After running setup.exe again, I navigated to the System category and reinstalled rebase. Then I reviewed the README file; kill all processes associated with cygwin; ran ash; and typed /bin/rebaseall -v; the utility performed some actions and returned without errors. I fired up a cygwin console and startx would still not initialize. The console gave me the following font error. sageQueue trapped WM_QUIT message, exiting main loop. winClipboardProc - XDestroyWindow succeeded. FreeFontPath: FPE /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/ refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing. I have also removed the clipboard and multiplewindows arguments from the startx script; it did not help. The clipboard module is the main advantage of running X for me. Startxwin.bat and starxwin.sh do not launch Xwin either. Xwin should not be conflicting with a firewall; since this system does not have software firewall. After reinstalling X and all fonts, I mounted the font path and still receive this error. Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/, removing from li st! The cygwin console appears fully functional. Please give me whatever insight you may have on these scenarios.

My guess is that this is triggering some kind of virus scanner's false positive. I have a couple of suspicions: (1) I also installed MINGW directly on the computer. Maybe the Cygwin/MINGW and the main MINGW are interacting badly. This seems extremely unlikely because this package contains only headers and static import libraries, both of which are only used when compiling and linking MinGW objects, not at runtime. (Okay, it also contains the stub DLL mingwm10.dll which is the TLS-destructor stub helper, but if this were in use at the time setup ran, it would not be able to touch it, only schedule it for replacement at reboot. If you're using the latest version of setup you'll get a dialog in this situation. Not to mention that any separate installation of MinGW would have its own copy of mingwm10.dll.) (2) Maybe there Cygwin services running that are interfering with the update. We used cygrunsrv to stop sshd which was the only service that we thought we were running. I can't see how this would happen. Nor do I see how sshd could possibly be relevant at all since it's not even a MinGW app. (3) We have occasionally used the command-line program cyg-apt to update and install. Maybe this has fouled the database. That is possible but I don't see why it would cause setup to foul up at this point in the process. Our failed update seems to have messed up other parts of cygwin. We can no longer start sshd with 'cygrunsrv --start sshd' and we can't seem to locate ssh-host-config Uh, suddenly you're describing a much different problem than just being able to unpack the the mingw-runtime package. It sounds like you have bigger issues that need solving. We have attempted to select skip for mingw in setup.exe, but this doesn't affect the hang described above. If you selected 'skip' then setup should not be unpacking anything from the package, so I don't see how it could fail trying to unpack from the package, unless you're saying it fails trying to unpack some other package. If that's the case then the fact that it happens to foul up unpacking the mingw-runtime package is a complete red herring, and you have some kind of bigger problem that's interfering with setup that you'll need to diagnose.

SIGINT not delivered on Ctrl-C
Does anyone know why a SIGINT signal would fail to be delivered to a Cygwin-linked process (via Ctrl-C) in the scenario where all of the following conditions hold? 1) Process in question is launched from a non-Cygwin-linked program (such as native Windows command prompt), with all of stdin, stdout, and stderr redirected. 2) Process registers a SIGINT handler via Cygwin's implementation of signal() and waits for signal to be delivered. Attaching a WinDBG to the process in question shows that the process is indeed receiving the Ctrl-C exception from Windows. However, program behavior proves that the SIGINT handler is not being called. If any of the stdio channels are left unredirected, or if process is launched from a Cygwin-linked program (e.g. from bash instead of non-Cygwin-linked program), then SIGINT is delivered successfully. __ Do You Yahoo!?

I'm glad it's now fixed. But for the mingw-gcc-* packages, setup does
not actually create or delete any of those links, it is all done by
postinstall/preremove files. If you take a look (see
/etc/{preremove,postinstall}/gcc-mingw*) you will see that the preremove
script only deletes the files contained in the manifest, and the
symlinks are not included there; and the postinstall only tries to
create the symlinks if they don't exist. This could be considered a
slight packaging bug I suppose, since once created, those symlinks will
never be removed/recreated on reinstalls.

A header file does not implement anything. It contains no code at all
(except in the case of C++ or inlined functions.) It only describes an
interface that is actually implemented in a library. In the case of
Cygwin, the standard C library is implemented by cygwin1.dll, along with
many POSIX functions.
Now I want to try the same process for simple c++ functions like
cout. I don't find any cygwin header files like iostream.h or
stream.h in the cygwin directory.
cout is part of the C++ standard library (STL) and is implemented by
libstdc++ which is part of gcc.
When I created this stand alone program.
#include iostream
int main () {
std::cout Hello World\n;
return 0;
}
I guess this picked the header file from
cygwin\lib\gcc\i686-pc-cygwin\3.4.4\include\c++\ (a gcc header file)
Is there no iostream header file by cygwin (/usr/include/cygwin)?
First of all, stop looking in /usr/include/cygwin for things, and stop
worrying about which directory header files are in. That has no bearing
on what library implements a specific function, as all headers for all
installed libraries are in /usr/include. Some of these headers are
provided by Cygwin. The ones in the cygwin subdirectory are only for
Cygwin-specific things, but this is only a small fraction of the
functionality provided by Cygwin. For example, all of the stadard C
library functions (such as stdio.h, stdlib.h, io.h, stdint.h, and on and
on) are all implemented by Cygwin, i.e. cygwin1.dll, and are in
/usr/include. And many other libraries as well, such as zlib, gettext,
libintl, and so on. So, stop confusing a header file with the library
that implements the code and realize that

Re: DualCores and Current Cygwin problems
I think the following sad story should shed a little light on this issue. I'm attempting to use cygwin to provide the UNIX-like build environment to build Java SE on a DualCore system. Relevant configuration details: AMD X2 5200+ Asus M2NPV-VM 2 Gb ECC memory (std. clocks) I'm working to improve the documentation for the Java SE build, so I know *exactly* what's on the system. The installations are: 1) Windows XP, fully updated 2) Visual Studio .NET Professional (2003) 3) Microsoft Platform SDK (2004 - *not* R2) 4) Microsoft DirectX SDK (Summer 2004) 5) Sun Java 6 SDK (1.6.0_01) 6) Cygwin (current) That's it. No additional software components. None. With this configuration, I get random can not fork: Resource temporarily unavailable errors when trying to perform the fairly large and complex product build. I also get dup_proc_pipe failures, which are fairly random, but tend to be understandably associated with long pipes in the build process. If I add /ONECPU to boot.ini, neatly turning my DualCore system into a single core system, the failures all magically disappear. This would tend to indicate that there is a multi-threading issue either in cygwin or in the underlying Windows XP operating environment. It hopefully also provides a work-around (abet a somewhat painful one). It's probably worth trying by all who have been reporting this failure. If it doesn't eliminate the failure for you, its an indication that there may be multiple failures involved. - cheers and good luck (these are hard problems to track down), - Joseph Kowalski -- 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: DualCores and Current Cygwin problems
Good day, all, Still no luck trying out Larry's Suggestion... my system is a bit edgy and unstable at the moment... is gonna be a long re-installation ... : fortunately I am trying this @ home and only have to live with my wife's complaints. After reading more of the current and past postings, I gather that there are lots of reports with similar symptoms... some regarding the vista installation, some like mine and Joseph, on the dual cores, and lots of others with build-failures. The interesting part is that the underlying system/OS are typically quite varied. I am not sure if these are somehow connected. Appreciate if you can share your opinions. Will update as soon as my PC bounced back to normal to continue my trials...:P Thanks again all round! Best Regards Chee Kiang From my wife's notebook... --- Joseph Kowalski [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I think the following sad story should shed a little light on this issue. I'm attempting to use cygwin to provide the UNIX-like build environment to build Java SE on a DualCore system. Relevant configuration details: AMD X2 5200+ Asus M2NPV-VM 2 Gb ECC memory (std. clocks) I'm working to improve the documentation for the Java SE build, so I know *exactly* what's on the system. The installations are: 1) Windows XP, fully updated 2) Visual Studio .NET Professional (2003) 3) Microsoft Platform SDK (2004 - *not* R2) 4) Microsoft DirectX SDK (Summer 2004) 5) Sun Java 6 SDK (1.6.0_01) 6) Cygwin (current) That's it. No additional software components. None. With this configuration, I get random can not fork: Resource temporarily unavailable errors when trying to perform the fairly large and complex product build. I also get dup_proc_pipe failures, which are fairly random, but tend to be understandably associated with long pipes in the build process. If I add /ONECPU to boot.ini, neatly turning my DualCore system into a single core system, the failures all magically disappear. This would tend to indicate that there is a multi-threading issue either in cygwin or in the underlying Windows XP operating environment. It hopefully also provides a work-around (abet a somewhat painful one). It's probably worth trying by all who have been reporting this failure. If it doesn't eliminate the failure for you, its an indication that there may be multiple failures involved. - cheers and good luck (these are hard problems to track down), - Joseph Kowalski -- 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/ __ Yahoo!

Trademark rights and copyright for Cygwin and logo.
Hi All, If I understand it right, Cygwin is trademark of redhat and the Cygwin logo is copyright protected. Some people I know (including me) like to have their software on CD for archiving (to get repeatable results or be able to understand errors in former setups), so I've written a small tool that creates a (minimum) 3 CD-Set (1 binary, 2 source) of Cygwin. Since I already have the tool, I'd like to distribute the CD set at installation parties and trade fairs. Two questions arise naturally: 1. May I use the word / product name on the cover as description / label of the content (probably not)? 2. May I use the logo (probably not, too) on the cover? I've found sentences to the effect that logo and the term Cygwin are copyrighted respectively trademarked, but I haven't seen a license that would allow distributors to use those. I might have missed something, so - If somebody knows about a text I've missed, would you please point me to it? - Else whom would I write for more information? BTW, if I can't do (1) that would be especially sad: As I understand it I can distribute binaries and source according to the respective licenses. But I'd also like to give proper credit to the Cygwin project, the more, the better. At the moment I don't want even to pretend that what we distribute / give away is a product of ours: Ours is only the service to download it and fit it on a CD (as I said: Esp. useful for archiving or to install baselines). ( And yes I understand that Cygwin is also a commercial product -- http://www.redhat.com/software/cygwin/. Redhat is welcome to their right and welcome to protecting them if/when they think the necessity arises. That is nothing I want to draw in doubt, just to forestall a discussion in that direction for the moment. I just wouldn't want to label the CD Footools for Windows or something to that effect and thus _not_ attribute to the project if the necessity doesn't arise. And it would still be strange if setup came up with the cygwin banner :-).

However, I suspect this is just coincidence. My build is network silent. The network adapter shouldn't be involved. Interesting. The problems I have seen only happen after booting up, so yes it looks like different problems. On the other hand every thread in Cygwin has an associated UDP connection (the implementation uses it), so network silent is not quite true... but I don't know how fork is implemented and if it uses UDP connections also. You could monitor with TCPView if any such UDP ports are being open. The interesting part would be to know what resource is the message Resource temporarily unavailable talking about. It could be a Windows XP-SP2 limitation: can't open more than 10 connections in a given time span (the default after SP2 set in TCPIP.SYS), it was different before SP2 but that patch is very old and I've only seen these messages recently. For me, it started when I updated Exim to 4.66, about a month or two ago, yesterday I installed version 4.67 so the problem may change again. -- René Berber -- 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/
