That answer seems out of date actually, since the Cygwin console charset is determined at the start of each process rather than at the start of each process tree, so it should always match what a process thinks it is. Do you think it makes sense to add words about mintty here? If so, I guess the problem more often occurs with Win32 apps running in a UTF-8 mintty. Do you have a suggestion for an addition related to mintty? How about this: Simple and clear. Checked in. Thanks!

Setup announcement
Hi Jon, most of the changes and fixes in the new setup.exe release from this weekend are yours per the ChangeLog. I don't know exactly what to write in an announcement. Here's what I have so far. Can you please have a look and revise it? - Now that mintty has become part of the default installation, setup will create desktop and start menu shortcuts called Cygwin Terminal, which point to mintty, starting your default shell as noted in /etc/passwd. - The desktop and start menu shortcuts use new icons. - Remove Prev button from Chooser page. The behaviour was confusing and unnecessary. - In unattanded mode, if packages were selected on command line, install only these, not their dependencies. --- Is that correct? Or are the dependencies installed as well, but not unrelated packages? - Improve progress bar display. - Fix behaviour when reading broken tar archives. - Improve error messages related to reading and writing files.

Upgrade to OpenSSL 1.0.0 ?
Hello! From looking at the mailing list I can see that a preliminary discussion about upgrading OpenSSL to 1.0.0 took plave in 2010 (http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin-apps/2010-06/msg00174.html). Is the upgrade going to happen? I'm asking because the currently used OpenSSL version (0.9.8) has significant problems with SSL version negotiation, that manifest e.g. in libcurl with the error: SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:reason(1112) See: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detailatid=100976aid=3395520group_id=976 This particular error makes it practically impossible in Cygwin to use GIT over HTTPS (like provided by GitHub) - no known workaround exists that would employ environment variables or custom config files for either libcurl, Git or OpenSSL. One would have to compile OpenSSL 1.0.0, libcurl and Git by hand. Best Regards, Aleksander Adamowski
XWin.exe causes Windows apps. to freeze
I have a persistent problem at work after XWin has been running for a while (sometimes hours, sometimes days). Windows programs will spontaneously freeze I am running Windows XP SP3 on a Dell Latitude D810 laptop (Intel T7200 @ 2.0 GHz, 2 GB RAM). I typically run MS Outlook 2007, some form of Firefox (either release or beta), and Citrix (remote-access software), all at the same time, though I have run the various flavors of VNC (Real, Tight, Tiger) in the past. Graphics is an NVIDIA Quadro NVS 110M with two monitors connected (one digital, one analog), using the 197.68 driver. What happens is that windows will spontaneously freeze. For example, I'm composing a message in Outlook, and all of a sudden, my keyboard stops responding, then I'll get the Windows hourglass in that window. Or I'll be surfing in Firefox and window changes just stop, again hourglass. Once this happens, killing XWin.exe from the task manager immediately releases the hang condition(s), though the hang may release itself if I wait several minutes (yeah, right). At this point, I can re-start XWin, but later on, it will happen again. I'm starting XWin.exe from the install shortcut: C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c /usr/bin/startxwin.exe I'm running the latest of Cygwin everything, the problem has been across several (many) releases of the Xorg server. I think it's using the default options for multi-monitor, cut/paste, etc. I can usually copy/paste between XWin and MS Windows (and usually Citrix) without any problems. I keep thinking that the problem is something in the XWin code that interfaces to Windows' copy/paste engine (OLE?). Is there any way to debug this problem? It would be great to get it resolved.

If you think it's clipboard related, try running with -noclipboard and see if that fixes it. Downside is, you lose all clipboard functionality... BTW, what do you use x11 for? Other than the odd gnuplot session, I've not needed an X server since switching from xterm to mintty (which just became the official cygwin terminal). If a similar situation applies to you, you could temporarily switch to mintty while doing the above experiment and still be able to use clipboard in the meantime. Finally, I've never used a multi-monitor setup myself, but according to the XWin man page you should specify the -multimonitors option since you apparently (really??) don't run in -multiwindow mode. Or maybe the man page is just out of date and -multiwindow is the default now, in which case multiple monitor support comes for free.

Would it be appropriate to move it to dix-config.h for this purpose? I think it would probably be neater to do something like arrange for FILENAME to start with the platform-appropriate path separator, rather than to define FILENAME_ONLY as the same name without an initial path separator? The difference is not just the path separator - the FILENAME also includes the macro define (string literal) of the install location, which is concatenated with the filename by the preprocessor. 0027-dix-registry.c-Free-old-memory-upon-realloc-failure.patch Interesting. It would probably be useful to quote the language from the appropriate standard which describes the behavior of realloc() in this error case in the comment. I don't think this change is fully correct however. If the realloc'ed size is 0, realloc() may return NULL, but the previously allocated memory has been freed. Perhaps you need to check if errno has been set by realloc to distinguish these two cases? Did you notice this by inspection or actually have a problem caused by this code? Have you audited the rest of the xserver code for this class of error? Good point. I found this with cppcheck - a static analysis tool that, despite its name, is useful for C code as well. There were other issues it mentioned in the xserver code, but I didn't get to any of the others yet. In any case, it's a completely orthogonal patch. Might be useful for someone more familiar with the code to run cppcheck and address the issues. 0041-configure.ac-mingw-doesn-t-have-setuid-either.patch Use whitespace consistently with the context, please Oops - will correct. -- Jon TURNEY Volunteer Cygwin/X X Server maintainer I have successfully built XWin with some Xming project patches( manually adopted line by line after understanding the purpose) on MINGW environment and also activated GLX. not AIGLX yet because I couldn't find a way to build swrast driver of Mesa with xlib option, but server side is activated.

chere, mksh and pdksh

Please explain afio warning message
Executing the command find . -print0 | afio -o -z -Z -0 -Y '*.log' -T 1k -G 2 /cygdrive/c/temp/arch.afio results in the following warning message: afio: .: Cannot create cpio-compatible file header for this input afio: /cygdrive/c/temp/save.afio [offset 0]: Continuing, archive will not be fully compatible with cpio or afio versions 2.4.7 and lower afio: /cygdrive/c/temp/save.afio: Warning: Created archive is not fully compatible with cpio or afio versions 2.4.7 and lower. afio: /cygdrive/c/temp/save.afio: See the ARCHIVE PORTABILITY section of the manpage. I read the section about portability, but still don't know the reason for this warning, only that it somehow must be related to the usage of . for denoting the working directory. Can I safely ignore the warnings? Is there a way to suppress them, other than redirecting stderr to the bit bucket? cpio compatibility is not crucial for me. -- Ronald Fischer rona...@eml.cc + If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port, + and the bus is interrupted and the interrupt's not caught, + then the socket packet pocket has an error to report. + (cited after Peter van der Linden) -- 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: midnight commander does not see external USB hard drives on remote machine

I succeeded to explore a remote filesystem through the shell link, but I suspect any options like copy and view are problematic, To copy is not a big problem. For example, scp junk.f $DELL (where DELL=dell03:/cygdrive/f/transit_ext) will copy junk.f to a directory on a USB hard drive on remote host dell03. Here I put the target directory in an environment variable so that I don't have to retype it. I would like to be able to navigate to the target directory on the remote filesystem without having to type exact long pathnames (sftp allows no wildcards in the remote cd command). I can do that with midnight commander on the remote system drive /cygdrive/c, but not on the remote USB HDD /cygdrive/f I can only guess that mc is connecting with insufficient privileges / different identity that ssh. I need to look how the FISH module is performing the browsing on the remote computer, and I have currently no clue of it. I will not be able to test a ssh connection to another cygwin computer, for at least one month as I am travelling for job. So do not expect a short term solution.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: setup.exe (Release 2.761)
A new version of setup.exe, release 2.761, has been uploaded to http://cygwin.com/setup.exe. Changes: - Now that mintty has become part of the default installation, setup will create desktop and start menu shortcuts called Cygwin Terminal, which point to mintty, starting your default shell as noted in /etc/passwd. - The desktop and start menu shortcuts use new icons. - Remove Prev button from Chooser page. The behaviour was confusing and unnecessary. - In unattended mode, if packages were selected on command line, install only those, don't also upgrade all installed packages. - Various improvements so progress bar shows progress during operations which may take a long time with a large number of packages selected. - Fix hang when reading broken or pbzip2 compressed tar archives. - Canonicalize mirror URLs so they always end with a '/'. - Fix a bug which would lead to setup getting stuck on the dependency checking progress page in unattended mode when a dependency of an already installed package was not installed somehow. - Correct the description of the -K option in help text. *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the List-Unsubscribe: tag in the email header of this message.
