drag and drop problem between java windows on linux
I am using xorg-server-1.10.3-1 under Cygwin in Windows 7 64-bit and have the problem of not being able to drag and drop from 2 different java windows launched off a linux server box. I am using Redhat 5.4 as my linux server that I am displaying from. For example to reproduce the problem: Launch two java Notepad applications (found in java 1.6 SDK under demos/jfc/Notepad/Notepad.jar) to display back to the Windows 7 Cygwin X Server (using the default internal window manager). Put some text in one Notepad application and try to perform a drag n drop to the other Notepad application, it fails. Copy and paste works. Drag n drop inside one notepad works. Drag n drop using different window managers with the above setup works (e.g., OpenBox, twm, etc.) This appears to be another Linux Java related issue similar to the inset menu problem fixed recently on the internal window manager. If I am displaying back QT or GTK windows such as gedit for example then the drag and drop works between the 2 different windows.

Fix for modifier keys after gaining focus patch
The recent patch for sending modifier key presses when a window gains focus depending on internal state and modifier key state has a problem. If the right control key is pressed when a window is gaining focus, it receives a left control keydown event, and the control state gets stuck because the window never receives a left control keyup event. The problem is fairly easy to replicate: run emacs-X11 from xterm, quit with [C-x C-x] using right control (which gives focus back to xterm), and try pressing keys. Until you press left control, all keys you've pressed get interpreted as [C-key]. The patch is easy (and it has already been raised in http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2012-01/msg3.html, but the idea was dismissed later because of internal state only keeping track of control key, and not individual left/right control keys). I have tried the patch below, and didn't observe any side effects so far. I've also modified the alt/ctrl check t only consider lctrl, since the other parts of the source seemed to indicate altgr emits a spurious lctrl.

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: [...] Would it be a good idea to update the FAQ's bloda entry with this info? Sure, it's probably going to give occasional false positives and/or negatives, but it would definitely catch the obvious cases and give a quick test for claims of bloda-free systems. You'd almost want a new cygcheck -b option that could fork off a process or two with detect_bloda active and capture any output that results. Of course I will document this at one point. So far I just didn't. I doubt that the cygcheck -b would be useful, though. Just call $ export CYGWIN=detect_bloda some_executable and you get what you want. Sure. That's what I'd do also, but we're both familiar with the bloda. I was thinking more of users sending problem reports. Telling them to attach the output of `cygcheck -svrb' would give us useful information even if they don't (yet) know what the bloda is let alone whether they're affected by it. Sort of like how we could ask cygcheck already starts the `id' command. We could start it with the CYGWIN=detect_bloda setting. But I don't think that's feasible. The problem is, what application would you like to start, and what would you like to do to trigger BLODA messages? when I implemented this I didn't implement the DLL filter list at first. I ran my first tests on W7. I have one machine on which I have the installer for a known BLODA, the Bytemobile stuff, but otherwise my machines are rather stock OS + Cygwin. So it came as a surprise to me when the following happened: I started bash with CYGWIN=detect_bloda, typed `ls' to see if it works and then shifted my attention to something else. After about 30 seconds, I got the follwoing message in bash, three times in a row: Potential BLODA detected! Thread function called outside of Cygwin DLL: C:\Windows\System32\ntdll.dll I observed this more closely and it turned out that for each foreground process which lived longer than about 30 seconds a thread function in ntdll.dll was started three times in parallel. After pretty much exactly 1 minute, all three threads disappeared again. What I'm trying to say with this example is, you just don't know what a potential BLODA will do. You don't know when it will intrude, nor do you know what you have to do so that it intrudes. Maybe it only occurs when you press a key or open a socket connection, or only if you move your mouse out of the Window, or if you perform a rain dance. I don't think you have the faintest chance to catch BLODAs automatically, other than by enhancing the BLODA tests for known BLODAs in cygcheck. That's what would be most helpful in the long run. The BLODA test in Cygwin is just a last straw sort of thing. At least in its current implementation. Heck, if we really wanted to go whole-hog, we could add an option to check for dlls in $PATH that have base collisions. Once cygcheck supported both those checks, the fork failure error message could even tell users to run cygcheck before reporting a problem. To find base collisions it would be most helpful to run rebase with the -i option. We could add code to cygcheck to call rebase -i. Actually, now that I think about it, we could just make cygwin list any base collisions among dlls used by a failed forkee and point to the FAQ entry on rebaseall. The info is at our fingertips (dll::preferred_base) and in the absence of base collisions we could spawn a process to check for bloda, whose output (if non-empty) is ^^^ Oh no, please don't. The Cygwin DLL should not start applcations by itself. That sounds like a potential security hole.

I separated things out and managed to do the git fetch first, but repeating the pull still results in a fork failure. $ uname -a CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64 machine 1.7.12s(0.260/5/3) 20120227 12:56:51 i686 Cygwin $ git pull --rebase origin master 1 [main] git 5276 fork: child -1 - forked process died unexpectedly, retry 0, exit code -1073741515, errno 11 error: cannot fork() for rev-list: Resource temporarily unavailable error: Could not run 'git rev-list' 15547 [main] git 5276 fork: child -1 - forked process died unexpectedly, retry 0, exit code -1073741515, errno 11 error: cannot fork() for rev-list: Resource temporarily unavailable error: Could not run 'git rev-list' error: git://xxx.com/yyy did not send all necessary objects I did an strace with the snapshot, and the bit aroung the fork failure says: 22 820839 [main] git 7408 fork: entering 55 820894 [main] git 7408 sig_send: sendsig 0xA0, pid 7408, signal -40, its_me 1 24 820918 [main] git 7408 sig_send: wakeup 0x290 30 820948 [sig] git 7408 wait_sig: signalling pack.wakeup 0x290 2 820950 [main] git 7408 sig_send: Waiting for pack.wakeup 0x290 40 820990 [main] git 7408 sig_send: returning 0x0 from sending signal -40 32 821022 [main] git 7408 frok::parent: priority class 32 97 821119 [main] git 7408 frok::parent: stack - bottom 0x29, top 0x267000, addr 0x0, guardsize 0x0 30 821149 [main] git 7408 frok::parent: CreateProcessW (C:\cygwin\lib\git-core\git.exe, C:\cygwin\lib\git-core\git.exe, 0, 0, 1, 0x20, 0, 0, 0x28A5C0, 0x28A620) 25 821174 [main] git 7408 time: 1330600890 = time(0) 1926 823100 [main] git 7408 frok::parent: forked pid 6460 36 823136 [main] git 7408 child_info::sync: n 2, waiting for subproc_ready(0x288) and child process(0x2A0) 3097 826233 [main] git 7408 child_info::sync: pid 6460, WFMO returned 1, exit_code 0xC135, res 0 93 826326 [main] git 7408 frok::parent: returning -1 52 826378 [main] git 7408 sig_send: sendsig 0xA0, pid 7408, signal -41, its_me 1 31 826409 [main] git 7408 sig_send: wakeup 0x290 54 826463 [main] git 7408 sig_send: Waiting for pack.wakeup 0x290 23 826486 [sig] git 7408 wait_sig: signalling pack.wakeup 0x290 27 826513 [main] git 7408 sig_send: returning 0x0 from sending signal -41 88 826601 [main] git 7408 fork: child -1 - forked process died unexpectedly, retry 0, exit code -1073741515, errno 11 266 826867 [main] git 7408 __set_errno: int fork():685 setting errno 11 An earlier fork appears to have worked for git.exe, but with the exectuable in a different directory (does this matter?) 22 64382 [main] git 7908 fork: entering 61 64443 [main] git 7908 sig_send: sendsig 0x9C, pid 7908, signal -40, its_me 1 23 64466 [main] git 7908 sig_send: wakeup 0x130 25 64491 [main] git 7908 sig_send: Waiting for pack.wakeup 0x130 5 64496 [sig] git 7908 wait_sig: signalling pack.wakeup 0x130 42 64538 [main] git 7908 sig_send: returning 0x0 from sending signal -40 29 64567 [main] git 7908 frok::parent: priority class 32 91 64658 [main] git 7908 frok::parent: stack - bottom 0x29, top 0x252000, addr 0x0, guardsize 0x0 21 64679 [main] git 7908 frok::parent: CreateProcessW (C:\cygwin\bin\git.exe, C:\cygwin\bin\git.exe, 0, 0, 1, 0x20, 0, 0, 0x28A8C0, 0x28A920) 21 64700 [main] git 7908 time: 1330600885 = time(0) 24016 88716 [main] git 7908 frok::parent: forked pid 6608 57 88773 [main] git 7908 child_info::sync: n 2, waiting for subproc_ready(0x128) and child process(0x138) 1 1 [main] git (6608) ** 52 53 [main] git (6608) Program name: C:\cygwin\bin\git.exe (windows pid 6608) 19 72 [main] git (6608) OS version: Windows NT-6.1 17 89 [main] git (6608) Heap size:4160157172 17 106 [main] git (6608) ** Note: may want to s/frok/fork/ The following command does work after the fetch: $ git rebase origin master So I'm not too worried, so this is more an FYI in case the strace helps.

Cygwin Package Information Package Version cygwin 1.7.11-1 (Note that cygcheck actually *does* complete the requested command, after the error message from (cygwin1.dll/dcrt0.cc?) is printed. Very strange. For two reasons. First of all, why is the mismatch message printed at all? The code in question is basically: if (res-cygheap != (void *) _cygheap_start) multiple_cygwin_problem (...); 0x61270870 != 0x2170870 Oh, right. I only read the last few digits. Sorry. Hmm. cygcheck loads the Cygwin DLL dynamically. It does not depend on any other Cygwin distro DLL. But it's started from a Cygwin parent. So the loaded CYgwin DLL checks the layout just like it had been linked against. And apparently it gets rebased at load time. Which means to me, there's another DLL already loaded into the process at an address which overlaps with the address space the Cygwin DLL should have been loaded to. So I guess you just have to find out what is the cause for rebasing the Cygwin DLL. Try VMMap from sysinternals with a cygcheck -svr piped into less, so that you can easily observe the process in vmmap.

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: [...] Would it be a good idea to update the FAQ's bloda entry with this info? Sure, it's probably going to give occasional false positives and/or negatives, but it would definitely catch the obvious cases and give a quick test for claims of bloda-free systems. You'd almost want a new cygcheck -b option that could fork off a process or two with detect_bloda active and capture any output that results. Of course I will document this at one point. So far I just didn't. I doubt that the cygcheck -b would be useful, though. Just call $ export CYGWIN=detect_bloda some_executable and you get what you want. Sure. That's what I'd do also, but we're both familiar with the bloda. I was thinking more of users sending problem reports. Telling them to attach the output of `cygcheck -svrb' would give us useful information even if they don't (yet) know what the bloda is let alone whether they're affected by it. Sort of like how we could ask [bloda horror stories] What I'm trying to say with this example is, you just don't know what a potential BLODA will do. You don't know when it will intrude, nor do you know what you have to do so that it intrudes. Maybe it only occurs when you press a key or open a socket connection, or only if you move your mouse out of the Window, or if you perform a rain dance. I don't think you have the faintest chance to catch BLODAs automatically, other than by enhancing the BLODA tests for known BLODAs in cygcheck. That's what would be most helpful in the long run. The BLODA test in Cygwin is just a last straw sort of thing. At least in its current implementation. Point taken. The idea did sound a little too good to be true... Heck, if we really wanted to go whole-hog, we could add an option to check for dlls in $PATH that have base collisions. Once cygcheck supported both those checks, the fork failure error message could even tell users to run cygcheck before reporting a problem. To find base collisions it would be most helpful to run rebase with the -i option. We could add code to cygcheck to call rebase -i. That could be helpful. Actually, now that I think about it, we could just make cygwin list any base collisions among dlls used by a failed forkee and point to the FAQ entry on rebaseall. The info is at our fingertips (dll::preferred_base) and in the absence of base collisions we could spawn a process to check for bloda, whose output (if non-empty) is ^^^ Oh no, please don't. The Cygwin DLL should not start applcations by itself. That sounds like a potential security hole. Fair enough. Security hole or not, it sounds like it wouldn't have actually helped, so it really shouldn't be considered further. I still think reporting specific base collisions during a fork failure -- or at least detecting their existence and telling the user to rebase -- would be helpful. Judging from the messages that regularly hit the list, the extra info currently delivered with fork failure messages isn't really actionable by the average user. Plus, we could list the offending paths (which may not all be on rebaseall's default path list) Anyway, these were all just a bunch of musings, no big deal if they're full of holes.

Re: question on Cygwin's version of make
Some folks call make from a bash file to take advantage of things that bash can do and make can't, or at least easily. Using a config.sh to run make could let you test anything you want, print warnings, or exit, if anything is spotted. If everything looks good, the script can call make. This is common when you need to collect information about the local configuration (OS, arch, preferences, etc) in a portable way. Don't know if that helps, but that is what occurred to me reading you post.

I don't think I've ever seen it, but does setup.exe support the notion of recommended and/or suggested packages? It seems that the main issue is that xinit is not a hard dependency of these tools/libraries and thus they should not have a hard dependency on xinit defined in the package definition. However, it might make sense to make xinit a recommended dependency that setup.exe could offer to install by default or at least notify the user that they may want to install. Less sophisticated users of setup.exe could select to always install all recommended packages by default (this may be the default setting) while more advanced users may disable that option in order to be more choosy. While this wouldn't help the problem of users needing to actually start the X server before using the dependent tools and libraries, it would at least give them a chance to get what they need in a single pass of running setup.exe rather than needing to run it again and try to select the correct additional packages. -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

Setting TZ may break time() in non-Cygwin programs
TZ environment variable is set by default since base-files 4.0.7.
Unfortunately this breaks the time() calculation for all non-Cygwin
programs run from Cygwin if Microsoft C runtime (mscrt*.dll) is used. MS
CRT evaluates TZ but supports only a very old syntax subset. IIRC this
is the case since VS1.x (DOS/Win16) and did not change since at least VS10.
The TZ parser of MS CRT interprets TZ=Europe/. as TZ=Eur+0ope.
Hard coded US DST rules are always used if TZ is set. DST specifications
in TZ are not supported. See testcase below.
Cygwin already converts some environment variables from/to Win32 format.
This IMO would make sense for TZ also.
Simple: Unset TZ for Win32 programs run from Cygwin.
More flexible: Set (unset) TZ=CYGWIN_WINENV_TZ if this variable is set
(to empty). Otherwise keep TZ as is.
If similar problems appear with other variables, the latter could be
generalized for all variable names.

Re: cygheap base mismatch detected
On 3/1/2012 7:14 AM, Corinna Vinschen wrote: Hmm. cygcheck loads the Cygwin DLL dynamically. It does not depend on any other Cygwin distro DLL. But it's started from a Cygwin parent. So the loaded CYgwin DLL checks the layout just like it had been linked against. And apparently it gets rebased at load time. Which means to me, there's another DLL already loaded into the process at an address which overlaps with the address space the Cygwin DLL should have been loaded to. So I guess you just have to find out what is the cause for rebasing the Cygwin DLL. Try VMMap from sysinternals with a cygcheck -svr piped into less, so that you can easily observe the process in vmmap. It appears to be C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\PGHook.dll which is part of Avecto Privilege Guard (which could certainly be classed as a BLODA IMO; thank you paranoid corporate IT policies...). For cygcheck, PGHook.dll gets loaded at its desired image base: $ objdump -p /c/Windows/syswow64/pghook.dll |grep ImageBase ImageBase 6110 So, it appears that for normal cygwin processes, PGHook gets rebased elsewhere, and cygwin wins. For instance, /bin/top.exe - PGHook gets loaded at 01FD000, b/c cygwin1.dll is already at 0x6100. OTOH, there's nothing in the cygcheck.exe process that prevents PGHook from getting its desired base addr -- which then conflicts with cygwin's desired base addr when it is (later) dynloaded. Is there some workaround that could be used? It's not as if cygcheck is really trying to initialize and *use* cygwin1.dll facilities, is it? So, perhaps cygwin1.dll/dcrt0 could ignore the fact that it has been rebased, when dynamically loaded? (or perhaps, only when dynloaded by some app named 'cygcheck.exe'). -- Chuck -- 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: Cygwin errors after altering Windows command prompt shortcut (???)
Greetings, Pat Tressel! On my system, HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console has a Cygwin subkey (and a Git Bash subkey, but I don't use Git Bash). I don't know if that is still in use (given comments re. Cygwin not needing the registry any longer, which I may have misinterpreted), but with the odd behavior, maybe it is still in use. _Cygwin_ by itself, as in, an application for it's own needs, not rely on specific registry settings. However, there's a number of _system_ settings, which may affect behavior of any application, that fall into certain criteria. In case of HKCU\Console\*, it is any console window matching the name of a subkey. Or any console window, for default color/font/behavior settings. Likewise, application/library registration in reg:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths _will_ affect every application in the system. -- WBR, Andrey Repin (anrdae...@freemail.ru) 02.03.2012, 02:45 Sorry for my terrible english... -- 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

Could you please consider making such list configurable, if it's not much of an issue? This feature seems to be the reasonable way for rough detection of potentially malicious presence, but I would like to avoid certain handlers to be reported, such as antivirus' LSP or keyboard hotkey handler. Hmm. Well, this option isn't meant to be used all the time. It's not overly intrusive, but it costs time and Cygwin already isn't exactly fast. For a pure diagnosing tool, does it makes sense to add lots of configuration options? If you want to make the DLL list configurable, what's your idea? Another env var like, say CYGWIN_DETECT_BLODA_DLL_IGNORE_LIST? After a good day of pondering the question, I would suggest to not filter out anything at all. And i'm leaning to the suggestion of extending cygcheck functionality in the way of reporting inserted dll's.

ctrl-c not working during bash command line editing
I use vi mode (set -o vi) in bash. A couple of days ago I updated my cygwin installation and now I'm no longer able to use ctrl-c to abort command line editing. Specifically, while typing a command or editing a previous command from the history, it used to be possible to discard the command text and return to a fresh prompt by pressing ctrl-c. I thought it might be something peculiar to my bash configuration, but I get the same behavior when running bash with --norc.

Tonight, I needed to test something and was on my Windows box, so I did a cut-and-paste operation which gave me a directory of Copy of myStuff. I did a make and it worked, but I am seeing a message about basename: extra operand 'myStuff'. That appears to be an error message from /usr/bin/basename GNU make has a built-in function $(basename ...) but that doesn't appear to have such an error message. I figured out that the spaces in the MS Copy of myStuff were the problem and was able to rename w/o spaces and move forward. But I would like to ask if anyone knows what in make uses the basename command so I can try to either massage the Makefile to deal with it or throw a more meaningful error (as in your directory has spaces in it and there will be complaints)? Read your makefile. One of the actions is probably using basename. Alas, /usr/bin/basename has no way of knowing that it was invoked from make; you can't get more meaningful errors. Csaba Csaba: The first thing I did was look in my makefiles to see if I was using basename. I'm not and so I am thinking that something else is calling it under the hood. Its the very first thing, so I am inclined to think that make must be calling it to load up a variable should the makefile ever need it. I went through the gnu.org man html and can't see much more than basename exists and how to use it. Using Macro's suggestion of 21 doesn't capture the basename error/warning message. I tried make make.out 21 and the message still isn't being captured. Given that I don't like spaces in filenames/directories, its a moot point in terms of how to avoid the problem. But the inability to capture the output is bothering me ...

Using a config.sh to run make could let you test anything you want, print warnings, or exit, if anything is spotted. If everything looks good, the script can call make. This is common when you need to collect information about the local configuration (OS, arch, preferences, etc) in a portable way. Don't know if that helps, but that is what occurred to me reading you post. LMH LMH: Thanks for the reply. For many years, I've had no trouble doing everything inside a makefile, including getting platform/OS/etc. I've seen posts that use a config.sh or similar ... up until now I've had no need to consider that path. Given that the problem is identified (basename doesn't like spaces), a fix is easy (don't use spaces), and everything works, I don't think switching is going to help me. Its more and more looking (to me) like a error/warning message is thrown by basename which is being called under the hood by make (as opposed to my explicitly using that function) and, right now, I can't capture the message when I think I am getting everything stdout and stderr is spitting out.

make producing basename error that can't be captured by make make.out
Cygwin: I've already run an earlier version of this through the list to see if I was dealing with pilot error. Its gotten to the point that it was suggested I consult http://cygwin.com/problems.html and submit. The issue came up when I did a Windows cut-and-paste of a directory in my cygwin home, cd-ed to it, and got a basename error when I ran make. Was able to figure out that make didn't like Copy\ of\ myStuff and all I had to do was remove the spaces and everything was happy. But while trying to debug, I found another issue. The first is that I wanted to trap all output to a file so I could run make -d to see where basename was getting called. So, I used make -d make.out per #3.6 in http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO-3.html. Everything except the basename error went to the file ... basename still printed to the screen. Tried other variations with no success. That's when it was suggested I do the report.html. I went through the archives and the closest I found was a 2005 post with a basename error, but it seemed to not cover what I was seeing. To show the problem: Create a directory called myStuff in one's cygwin home directory. Do a cd myStuff and run make. It will say no targets or makefile found. Now, open the cygwin home directory with a Windows right click Open. Do a Copy and then a Paste of myStuff to get Copy\ of\ myStuff. Do a cd into that directory and run make. I am getting: +++ $make basename: extra operand 'myStuff' Try 'basename --help' for more information. make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. +++ That's the original problem and this test proves that it is nothing in my makefile as there is no makefile, its happening in the execution of make. With make -d, it still is the first thing called before one gets the opening stuff about which version, no warranty, etc.. If I type make make.out, the basename error still goes to the screen and the no target/makefile goes to make.out. The issue I am reporting is the lack of capturing the basename error to make.out, though I do think basename not being able to understand directories with space(s) is a nuisance worth noting.

Re: ctrl-c not working during bash command line editing
I've noticed this as well, and it seems to be a difference between /dev/consX and /dev/ptyX ttys. Mintty seems to work fine, whereas cmd.exe or Console2 (basically a cmd wrapper) cannot CTRL+C on the command line to abort it. Ctrl+C does, however, issue a SIGINT for a running process.

Re: Recent upgrade to wish leads to a problem
Yaakov (Cygwin/X) yselkow...@users.sourceforge.net writes: Thank you for reinforcing my point. No, thank you for all your work, because without that we couldn't have this discussion. While we certainly promote the Cygwin/X server, forcing xorg-server/xinit as a dependency not only won't prevent questions (since the user still needs to *start* the X server), but those who use other X servers will have this very complaint. Note: I'm not opposed to give a stronger hint to folks who might not know what an X server is and why they need one. If they don't follow up on that hint it becomes their problem, but you can't reasonably expect someone to look for an answer to a question they don't even have. As long as setup.exe doesn't handle recommendations, how about having an (empty) package X-application (or whatever better name you come up with) that all such applications depend on? I'm still not sure how to get the actual warning to the user, but for starters the postinstall script could fail when it doesn't find the Cygwin X server and leave a file that cygcheck looks for otherwise. If that file is missing I'll get an INCOMPLETE package in cygcheck. If I have an install using an external X server, I can create that file and have clean cygcheck output (and getting the postinstall marked done). Now please excuse me while I get back to orchestrating the next major transition for the distro. Thanks again.

OK, what would cause someone to add xinit as a dependency to something? One reason I keep asking this question is that I don't understand the rationale against adding xinit. I love that Setup will automatically install the dependencies I need to actually use a package. Setup failing to install a dependency that most users will want seems like a step backwards. So I am trying to understand the rationale behind this position. One of the frustrations I used to have with Linux was repeated cycles of Package A needs package B, install B, Package B needs Package C, install C, Package C needs Package D, etc. I like that modern package managers, like Cygwin Setup or Yum make it much easier by letting me just say I want Package A, and the tool automatically installs all the dependencies for me. Some questions for which answers might help you understand: Does it always require xinit, or only sometimes? If only sometimes, why should it always be installed even for computers where there is no need for it? Note - I don't have the answers. -- 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

Even if it doesn't reduce the questions, would it at least reduce the problem of users now having to run Setup a second time to download and install the xinit package? While I can't control whether Yaakov adds xinit as a dependency to tcl-tk, I personally wouldn't mind adding xinit as a prereq to gitk and git-gui, since I maintain that package. There's still that annoyance factor that just depending on xinit won't get X running, but at least it will let you download all the bits in one run of setup.exe instead of hitting the FAQ and finding out you have to rerun setup.exe. I don't think I've ever seen it, but does setup.exe support the notion of recommended and/or suggested packages? It seems that the main issue is that xinit is not a hard dependency of these tools/libraries and thus they should not have a hard dependency on xinit defined in the package definition. However, it might make sense to make xinit a recommended dependency that setup.exe could offer to install by default or at least notify the user that they may want to install. I suspect not, but I would like to see such recommended and/or suggested packages. Back when I was using Cygwin gcc so I could learn C, m4 was not installed along with it, and I believe that m4 should at least be shown as a recommended package to go along with gcc. -- 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

Please note that the server ('mysqld' package) should be considered
*experimental*; for production use, I suggest using a native Windows
version from dev.mysql.com. Input from experienced MySQL server
administrators to improve this component is welcome.
The client library and apps are stable, but when connecting to a native
Windows MySQL server on the same machine, you MUST use 127.0.0.1 as the
hostname; 'localhost' is reserved for connecting to the Cygwin mysqld
via a UNIX socket.
ODBC and Perl DBI drivers are also provided.
