Re: please add a find-the-fastest-mirror-automatically feature to setup.exe

I am a programmer and that seems sensible and correct to me.

Better yet, just try a few and see which works best. [...] Now the above is not to dismiss your concerns. Obviously, this is an issue for you. [...] However, having read various cygwin lists for years, this is the first time I can remember that someone has asked for this feature. Most setup requests have to do with user interface. Most mirror complaints are about staleness or disappearances. It actually wasn't an issue for me. I am at University of Ottawa and things are very fast. A full download of every Cygwin package (to burn to DVD) took about half an hour. I tried 2 different servers and found that the 2nd was fast. I subscribed to list to complain about a UI issue. I just made the suggestion about the find-fastest-mirror idea because I was already subscribed and to help others. (I know that some people won't bother finding the fastest mirror themselves. So they may waste half an hour extra waiting for a full download of Cygwin because they did not bother. I want to save time for those people. :) )
XKB: Couldn't load XKB keymap (fr_CH)
Hello ! I updated my Cygwin/X server yesterday. I have now the version 6.8.99.901-4. I don't remember what was the previous version. Since then, XKB doesn't work anymore. At xwin start, I can see this: XFree86-Bigfont extension local-client optimization disabled due to lack of shared memory support in the kernel (--) Setting autorepeat to delay=500, rate=31 (--) winConfigKeyboard - Layout: 100C (100c) (--) Using preset keyboard for French (Switzerland) (100c), type 4 Rules = xorg Model = pc105 Layout = fr_CH Variant = (null) Options = (null) (EE) Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap (--) 3 mouse buttons found And I get an us keyboard, which is pretty annoying.

Directories also need the execute permission for one to be able
to read them (this is an over-simplification, but essentially true).
On my installation, which hasn't had the permissions tinkered with,
all directories under /etc/X11 have permissions 770.
Try running this command:
find /etc/X11 -type d -exec chmod 770 {} +

Hello,
First, thanks for your answer.
Phil Betts a écrit :

Actually /etc/X11/xkb/keymap/xfree86 is a file, not a directory.
find /etc/X11 -type d -exec chmod 770 {} +
It didn't improve my problem. All the symptoms are still the same :(
Thanks for your answer anyway ;-)
Still searching...

Mike Marchywka wrote: .rdata relocs it is then. This is why I lurk as I now remember something about this and, sure, I can find it on google. Of course, it would still be nice to have a fully instrumented load ( so where do I find the unreolcatable data?) . I relinked with -strip and used dumpbin to find all the symbols in rdata but there are several hundred. I thought I could grep the code for suspicious consts but no luck so far. The simplest method is just to tweak the linker script to make .rdata writable (or rather, to map both .data and .rdata input segments into the same .data output section.) There is no method that I'm aware of to find the name of the offending symbol. Actually, that's not quite true, see http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-patches/2008-q1/msg00067.html. As I said in that message though, those might just be coindicental and certainly not guaranteed across OS versions or whatever. Isn't there some way to find the offending relocation attempt? What does strace know about the stituation or does it just echo stuff from Windoze? strace under Cygwin is not like strace on other operating systems, it is really just a glorified viewer for a bunch of debug_printf statements that exist in the Cygwin code. The error occurs before the process even begins execution, during the period where NTLDR loads libraries into its address space. So, strace will be of no use.

Re: Cygwin Cron not running
Thanks for the info, however, I'm a bit confused. In cronbug it states that the permissions are: -rwxrwx--- 1 lumcon mkgroup-l-d 244 May 30 14:45 /var/cron/tabs/lumcon However, when I run a ls -al I get: -rw-r--r-- 1 lumcon mkgroup-l-d 244 May 30 14:45 /var/cron/tabs/lumcon How/why are they different? And how can I change the permissions of this file to get them correct? I'm not familiar with how chmod works in cygwin, because using the 3 numbers as in unix does not work. Again, I really appreciate the help. Thanks!

just added a possible conservative fix for rsync problems
The latest snapshot at http://cygwin.com/snapshots/ has a conservative fix for the bug which has plagued rsync for years. I don't know for sure that it will solve the problem but I'd be interested in hearing success/failure reports here. When reporting success or failure please indicate what OS you're running, including service pack.

Sounds to me like you could have some look-alike versions of your tools around. What does 'which ls' say? What does 'which chmod' say? Perhaps you could show us this followed by calling 'chmod'? -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.

Cygwin - linker errors - __assert, __itob and __ftol
hi all - i am trying to compile a C++ native library using the shapelibrary. the one for linux is built but in cygwin i seem to be having some linker error problems and i have to assume it has to do with something regarding MSVC. i am including Java because i am using JNI to talk back and forth to Java. libShapeData.dll is my own native library that i want to build for windows. at the cygwin prompt: gcc -D__int64=long long -shared -I\C:\Apps\Java\jdk1.6.0_05\include -I\C:\Apps\Java\jdk1.6.0_05\include\win32 -I\c:\Users\usmsci\My Documents\shapefiles\shapelib128_bin_win -L\c:\Users\usmsci\My Documents\shapefiles\shapelib128_bin_win myFile.cpp -o libShapeData.dll c:\Users\usmsci\My Documents\shapefiles\shapelib128_bin_win\shpopen.obj c:\Users\usmsci\My Documents\shapefiles\shapelib128_bin_win\dbfopen.obj the errors i get are: Warning: .drectve '-defaultlib:LIBC' - unrecognized Warning: .drectve '-defaultlib:OLDNAMES' - unrecognized Warning: .drectve '-defaultlib:LIBC' - unrecognized Warning: .drectve '-defaultlib:OLDNAMES' - unrecognized c:\Users\usmsci\My Documents\shapefiles\shapelib128_bin_win\shpopen.o:shpopen.c (.text+0x1485):undefined reference to __assert the same thing happens for dbfopen.c. other undefined references include __ftol and __itob. those are the only 3. is there a compiler option that i can use or is there a way to somehow rebuild the shapefile library somehow? i am really not sure what is going on here - so it is kind of hard what to specifically ask. thanks all for the help in advance! -- 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 - linker errors - __assert, __itob and __ftol
i did not know about gcj. i guess i missed that somehow? thanks for the tip. my command line right now is: gcj -D__int64=long long -shared -I C:\Apps\Java\jdk1.6.0_05\include -I C:\Apps\Java\jdk1.6.0_05\include\win32 -I C:\Users\usmsci\My Documents\shapefiles\shapelib-1.2.10\shapelib-1.2.10 -I C:\Users\usmsci\My Documents\shapefiles\shapelib128_bin_win -L c:\Users\usmsci\My Documents\shapefiles\shapelib128_bin_win fileName.cpp -o libShapeData.dll c:\Users\usmsci\My Documents\shapefiles\shapelib128_bin_win\shpopen.o c:\Users\usmsci\My Documents\shapefiles\shapelib128_bin_win\dbfopen.o the error i get is: gcj: cannot specify -D without --main what do i need to do to remedy this? thanks!!! i dont have a main function in my .cpp file. i assume thats what its complaining about? i am using the -D option otherwise i would endless complaints about jlong not having a type and a bunch of other related stuff.

Re: Cygwin - linker errors - __assert, __itob and __ftol
i realized after i sent that last email that maybe i wasnt clear earlier that i already have created a .h file to match my JNI .Cpp file using the javah utility. so i have already done the work for that. i just need to link that up into my own .DLL to be used by a .java class. already have it working in linux and mac. thanks again!!
