However, I ran into a problem (related to pth/pthread support) such gnugp's analog to ssh-agent could not be queried, so you always had to type in your passphrase. That was obviously unacceptable, so I didn't actually post my version of gnupg-2.x The problem was basically this: 1) gnupg requires threading support via pth, NOT pthreads. This is because the gnupg folks consider real threads to provide a larger attack surface for security -- too large to adequately secure on all supported platforms -- so they require the use of the pth library. (pth provides a pseudo-thread interface that kinda works like pthreads, but the threads are actually all cooperatively managed as part of a single native thread.) 2) The pth library doesn't/didn't work on cygwin because of missing support for pth+fork. In any case, pth needed support for a facility that was, at the time, missing from cygwin (standard posix sigstack/sigaltstack approach): http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-10/msg00467.html This was on cgf's post-1.7 TODO list, but I don't recall if it ever happened. If it did, then I have a ported pth package (un-ITP'ed) that should work. 3) So, I heavily patched gnupg to use pthreads instead. But this had a side effect that gpg-agent didn't work as expected. IIRC, this had (something) to do with cygwin's missing support for passing open file descriptors between threads (briefly mentioned on the main list last week; obviously passing open filedes between *pseudo-threads* that are actually part of the same *real* thread, as in pth, is not a problem.

Dr. Volker Zell,
The command-line utilities in poppler conflict with those in xpdf. As
poppler has more features and is better maintained, I propose to follow
Fedora's lead and ship them in poppler instead of xpdf.
All I need you to do is, while you're updating to xpdf-3.03, add this
line to your .cygport after cyginstall:
rm -fr ${D}/usr/{bin,share/man/man1}/pdf*

Should I then rip out both cygwin and the antivirus, then run a re-install of antivirus first, then the cygwin? Forgive me, install and re-install pretty much summarizes my suite of computing skills.

BLODA detection code in latest snapshot
Hi folks, I've just uploaded a new snapshot 2012-02-27 12:04:23 UTC. It contains two code snippets which are supposed to help diagnosing BLODA problems. If you set the environment variable CYGWIN to detect_bloda and then start a Cygwin process (bash or so), then Cygwin will detect two types of anomalies: - Threads injected into the process from an unknown source. Every thread started in a process triggers a message to the DLLs in a process. When the Cygwin DLL gets this message, it tweaks the function pointer of the thread entry point so that it points to a Cygwin function. Usually Cygwin just performs some setup and then starts the original thread function. If CYGWIN=detect_bloda, then the original function address is evaluated and if the address is neither in the Cygwin DLL, nor in the application image, nor in one of a few filtered system DLLs, then Cygwin prints a message like this: Potential BLODA detected! Thread function called outside of Cygwin DLL: C:\foo\bar\baz.dll Of course this is not foolproof. The only filtered system DLLs so far are kernel32.dll, ntdll.dll, mswsock.dll, amd ws2_32.dll. If you playing around with this, and if you find that a core system DLL is reported (like, say, advapi32.dll), then please notify this list, too. - Some BLODAs affect the network. Winsock allows so-called Layered Service Providers (LSP). The socket handle returned by a socket(2) call is not a real socket, but a pseudo handle returned by the LSP. While Cygwin tries to workaround this, it's nevertheless interesting to learn that an LSP is installed. For instance, there's the Bytemobile optimization client on our BLODA list at http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.using.html#faq.using.bloda If this is installed on your machine, and if you have CYGWIN=detect_bloda set, it's existence will be recognized twice when you try to open a socket connection. First it injects a thread into the application, so you'll see something like this: Potential BLODA detected! Thread function called outside of Cygwin DLL: C:\Windows\System32\bmnet.dll And additionally you'll see this: Potential BLODA detected! Layered Socket Service Provider: BMA over MSAFD Tcpip [TCP/IP] Please note that this new CYGWIN=detect_bloda setting is just for diagnosing BLODA problems. It's no swiss army knife to fix the BLODA problems, but it might help to detect the cause for some of them. Of course I'd be interested in your experience with this and in any BLODA message you get by setting CYGWIN=detect_bloda.

1.7.10/1.7.11: .Net programs started from a cygwin console may fail.
Hi Cygwin,
Many .Net programs that use to run correctly from a cygwin 1.7.9 console
started throwing exceptions after updating to versions 1.7.10/1.7.11. I
have noticed this problem on machines running Windows XP and Vista (32bits).
I attach a very small example that triggers the bug. The example is
written in C#, and requires the .Net framework versions 2.0 or 3.5.
How to reproduce:
1) Compile the example with
csc bug.cs
The c# compiler (csc), can be usually found in
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\csc.exe
or C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\csc.exe
2) Run the resulting bug.exe from a cygwin 1.7.10/1.7.11 console. It
throws an exception.
3) Run bug.exe from a native windows console (or a cygwin 1.7.9
console). It runs without producing any output, and without throwing any
exceptions.
Be aware that the bug is not triggered if the example is compiled with
the .Net framework 4.0.
Best regards,
Andrés Martinelli

Re: GCC fatal error: can't open /tmp/ccc6IHTT.s for writing
Thanks Dave, it's fixed. It looks like the problem was the cygwin1.dll in C:\Windows\SYSTEM. I have no idea why that was there. (I am not the first to use this machine.) As a precaution I have also removed C:\Users\\home\apps\gcc-4.7-20120128\bin from my PATH. I had built it with --program-suffix=-4.7, but the following potentially conflicting files remain there with their names untouched: cyggfortran-3.dll cygssp-0.dll cygstdc++-6.dll Thanks again.

Anyway, I think your cygcheck reveals the problem. You have multiple cygwin1.dlls of different versions in your path at the same time. You also have a homebrew build of gcc 4.7 in your path, and it's using SJLJ exceptions rather than DW2, which means that its runtime DLLs will be incompatible with the standard system ones. Try removing the cygwin1.dll from C:\Windows\SYSTEM, and cutting C:\Users\\home\apps\gcc-4.7-20120128\bin out of your PATH, and see if that fixes it. cheers, DaveK -- 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 -- 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: gitk fails to start after updating cygwin
Yaakov (Cygwin/X) wrote: Remember that using X requires some level of manual intervention, namely that you have to *start* the server and set DISPLAY before actually using it. So installing xorg-server as a dependency isn't going to prevent these questions one bit. Good point. Would adding xinit as a dependency be a better solution? I am hoping that when setup informs the user that gitk requires xinit, it might it at least: 1. Alert the user to the fact that gitk now requires loading the X server. 2. Spare the user having to run setup again to download the packages they need. -- 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

On 27/02/2012 16:12, Paul Keir wrote: Thanks Dave, it's fixed. It looks like the problem was the cygwin1.dll in C:\Windows\SYSTEM. I have no idea why that was there. (I am not the first to use this machine.) Well, you may just find out when something else stops working - it's not unknown for people to ship custom toolchains built on Cygwin that install the DLL into the SYSTEM directory. (In which case, put the DLL you found there into the binaries dir alongside the tools involved.) As a precaution I have also removed C:\Users\\home\apps\gcc-4.7-20120128\bin from my PATH. I had built it with --program-suffix=-4.7, but the following potentially conflicting files remain there with their names untouched: cyggfortran-3.dll cygssp-0.dll cygstdc++-6.dll Although having them later in the path than the system versions in /usr/bin should in theory make that safe, mixing DW2 and SJLJ is asking for trouble to crop up somewhere down the line. cheers, DaveK -- 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
