[ITP] gnucap-2009.12.07-1
We discussed this a while back. It's in the standard distros. I pulled the version from cygports and bumped it up to the latest version. I'm also including the last versioned release (0.35) as prev. Version 0.35 is from 2006 and is missing many features, so it is preferable to have 2009.12.07 be the curr version.

this offer is way cool. Thanks for doing this, because this allows my lazy
self to switch to the latest gcc to build Cygwin without having to build
the compiler and all the stuff myself. Really cool.
Glad to help.
I've just tested to build Cygwin with this gcc, and I have only two small
problems:
- libbfd.a and the bfd.h header have to be manually installed, otherwise
I can't build dumper.exe. It would be nice to get a minimal cygwin-bfd
runtime package as well to support my lazyness even more. :)
I just added a cygwin-binutils-devel package with the necessary headers
and static libraries.
The only trick is you need to manually
remove /usr/i686-pc-cygwin/lib/libiberty.a so that the correct
libiberty.a is used instead until I have the chance to rebuild
cygwin-gcc.
Thanks!
- The w32api headers are in their own w32api include directory, but the
w32api link libs are in sys-root/usr/lib instead of
sys-root/usr/lib/w32api
where they belong. I think this should be fixed.
I tried that at first, but it didn't work. The problem is with
binutils:
$ i686-pc-cygwin-strings /usr/bin/i686-pc-cygwin-ld.bfd | grep w32api
SEARCH_DIR(/usr/i686-pc-cygwin/lib/w32api);
I don't quite understand how this matches the current installation.
Right now the w32api libs are in sys-root/usr/lib, not in lib. I'm sure
I'm missing something.
Hmm, if you do the same with the mingw version:
$ i686-pc-mingw-strings /usr/bin/i686-pc-mingw-ld.bfd | grep w32api
you get no output at all. The w32api libs are also in the same
directory as the mingw libs, /usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib.
So this code isn't sysroot-safe. PTC.
Did you send a patch upstream?
Uh, btw., I helped myself by just adding a symlink:
# cd /usr/i686-pc-cygwin/sys-root/lib
# ln -s . w32api
Maybe that's a valid workaround?
I also found another strange problem. It's practically impossible to
debug a Cygwin DLL built with this gcc/g++. The debug line number
information appears to be screwed up. Like this:
With gcc 4.3.4:
(gdb) break gethostid
Breakpoint 2 at 0x610f6b1a: file [...]/syscalls.cc, line 3718.
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
Breakpoint 2, gethostid ()
at [...]/syscalls.cc:3718
37180x00290012);
With gcc 4.5.1:
(gdb) break gethostid
Breakpoint 2 at 0x610ebd9f: file [...]/syscalls.cc, line 94.
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
Breakpoint 2, 0x610ebd9f in gethostid ()
at [...]/syscalls.cc:94
94for (int i = 0; i (int) cygheap-fdtab.size; i++)
While the memory address makes sense, the line number does not. If you
now try to step through the function, GDB gets seriosly lost:
(gdb) next
strace::active (this=0x6119c9e0)
at [...]/strace.h:54
54 bool active () const {return _active 1;}
(gdb) print data
No symbol data in current context

Or you could play with

You need to help us help you here. Simply saying that something doesn't work without including any further details about what you see or error messages you receive forces us to guess about the problem. My guess about your problem is that your bash command is flawed. The -c option takes a single string that will be run as a command, and since your command has spaces in it, you need to quote it. Otherwise, the command will be split on those spaces which will lead to erroneous arguments for bash. Because your command also has quotes, you'll need to escape those with backslashes if you absolutely must keep them. Maybe something like this will work for you: bash -c cd /cygdrive/e/solr/apache-solr-4.0-2010-10-12_08-05-48/example/;java -Dsolr.solr.home=\./example-DIH/solr/\ -jar start.jar If you still have problems, please provide more details. :-) -Jeremy -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
Re: Autostart Cygwin on Windows boot and run a cygwin command
First of: sorry for not providing all info. I DO want to run this command as soon as my machine boots. My server sometimes reboots at night after an update. So when Windows starts, in the Startup Folder I will place a shortcut to the .bat file. I the bat file I now have: @echo off C: chdir C:\cygwin\bin bash -c cd /cygdrive/e/solr/apache-solr-4.0-2010-10-12_08-05-48/example/;java -Dsolr.solr.home=\./example-DIH/solr/\ -jar start.jar When I run this from the command prompt I get this error: C:\start_cygwin.bat bash: line 0: cd: /cygdrive/e/solr/apache-solr-4.0-2010-10-12_08-05-48/example/: No such file or directory Unable to access jarfile start.jar C:\cygwin\bin Hopefully my problem is more clear now and you can further assist me :) Jeremy Bopp-3 wrote: On 3/14/2011 09:07, PeterSmith wrote: Sometimes my Windows server reboots at night to install new updates.

While not 100% clear, I'm going to assume from your description that you actually want this to run when you log in rather than when the machine boots up. It also looks like you know how to handle that part yourself. Ask about setting up a service if you would like this to run independently of whether or not you ever log into the machine though. I tried this code: @echo off C: chdir C:\cygwin\bin bash -c cd /cygdrive/e/solr/apache-solr-4.0-2010-10-12_08-05-48/example/;java -Dsolr.solr.home=./example-DIH/solr/ -jar start.jar But that doesnt work...

Thanks! cygwin-gcc 4.5.1-2 is now available for both arches without libiberty.a. I tried that at first, but it didn't work. The problem is with binutils: $ i686-pc-cygwin-strings /usr/bin/i686-pc-cygwin-ld.bfd | grep w32api SEARCH_DIR(/usr/i686-pc-cygwin/lib/w32api); I don't quite understand how this matches the current installation. Right now the w32api libs are in sys-root/usr/lib, not in lib. I'm sure I'm missing something. For a cygwin-target cross-compiler, binutils' ld/configure.tgt hard-codes $(tooldir)/lib/w32api as an additional library directory. While technically valid, is it not where we want libraries to be when using a sysroot. I added a small patch to binutils[1] to add sys-root/usr/lib/w32api and have rebuilt cygwin-binutils and cygwin-w32api accordingly. HTH, Yaakov P.S.
