[BUG] Cygwin default mounts in 1.7
Hello Cygwin developers I have a problem with cygwin default mounts I have compiled gcc cross compiler for powerpc (some problem with arm cross) and installed to destination directory.

But problem is with “/usr/bin” prefix. I have made tests with “ls” and “pwd” copied do “bin” directory and found that: - “pwd” is “/usr/bin” - “ls” shows “bin” directory content - “ls ..” shows “ls: cannot access ..: No such file or directory” - “ls /” shows “bin cygdrive dev etc include lib libexec powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu proc share” Core of problem is that pwd for “bin” directory is “/usr/bin”, but “/usr/bin/..” is not accessible.

Jiri,
I tried to follow up your mail and I am confused and not really
sure what is you problem.
On cygwin /bin and /usr/bin are the same directory
(see http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#mount-table)
$ mount
E:/cygwin/bin on /usr/bin type ntfs (binary,auto)
E:/cygwin/lib on /usr/lib type ntfs (binary,auto)
as /usr/bin is a mount of /bin.
Pwd works in both the two cases:
$ cd /bin
$ pwd
/bin
$ cd /usr/bin
$ pwd
/usr/bin
Most of the compilers/programs expect to find themself in /usr/bin,
and some are referring their libraries relative to such position
in this way
../libexec/gcc/powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/4.4.7/
is correctly targeting
/usr/bin/../libexec/gcc/powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/4.4.7/
for this reason you should have in the PATH /usr/bin before /bin
( /bin not defined at all)
to avoid that these programs looks for
/bin/../libexec/gcc/powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/4.4.7/
that does not exist.
What is your PATH ?
On /etc/profile it is defined as:
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:${PATH}
Regards
Marco

Re: Bash dumps stack after writing to /etc
A bug is found that might be located in cygwin or bash. Bash dumps stack on exit if all of the following requirements are true: - Bash was started from a windows batch script - Bash was started in non-interactive mode to execute a script - The script includes an attempt to write (pipe) data to a file in /etc - The write attempt is enclosed by an if clause. To reproduce the bug, start a windows batch script that starts bash in non-interactive mode running a bash script that within an if clause attempts to write to a file in the /etc directory. This will result in a bash stack dump, at least on Windows 7 Professional SP1. As an example, place example*.bat and script*.bash (code listed below) in the cygwin root folder. Then start the batch files via the Windows GUI. example1-breaks.bat reproduces the bug. example1i-works.bat shows that bash works like expected in interactive mode. example2-works.bat shows that bash works like expected when writing to a file outside of /etc. example3-maybe.bat shows that the if clause might change the behaviour. File listing follows. Make sure to save the .bat files with windows linebreaks, and the .bash files with unix linebreaks. example1-breaks.bat: @echo off %~d0 cd %~dp0 bin\bash.exe script1.bash pause example1i-works.bat: @echo off %~d0 cd %~dp0 bin\bash.exe -i script1.bash pause example2-works.bat: @echo off %~d0 cd %~dp0 bin\bash.exe script2.bash pause example3-maybe.bat: @echo off %~d0 cd %~dp0 bin\bash.exe script3.bash pause script1.bash: #!/bin/bash PATH=/bin:$PATH if true; then echo hello /etc/hello fi script2.bash: #!/bin/bash PATH=/bin:$PATH if true; then echo hello /hello fi script3.bash: #!/bin/bash PATH=/bin:$PATH echo hello /etc/hello fi System information: Machine: i686 OS: cygwin on Windows 7 Professional SP1 Compiler: gcc-4 Compilation CFLAGS: -DPROGRAM='bash.exe' -DCONF_HOSTTYPE='i686' -DCONF_OSTYPE='cygwin' -DCONF_MACHTYPE='i686-pc-cygwin' -DCONF_VENDOR='pc' -DLOCALEDIR='/usr/$ uname output: CYGWIN_NT-6.1 Machine-name 1.7.16(0.262/5/3) 2012-07-20 22:55 i686 Cygwin Machine Type: i686-pc-cygwin See also attached cygcheck.out.

RE: Pristine-tar 1.17-1 and 1.18-1 block bug or update-info-files bug
Charles sent the following at Monday, September 17, 2012 3:36 PM Windows 7 Home Premium (64), Cygwin version as of today I previously downloaded selected packages (past four months) When I ran the info command, a list of all info files in the directory appeared. Yesterday I downloaded the entire Cygwin package (it seemed easier to later uninstall unwanted or not needed packages) the following appeared in the download/install window during update info files Package: Pristine-tar.sh: exit code 1 I cannot determine what to post from the var/log/setup.log.full file - just too long. When I ran the info command, only five or six info entries appeared in the directory. I reinstalled Pristine-tar 1.18, same problem; I uninstalled 1.18 and installed 1.17 - same problem. I uninstalled Pristine-tar completely, ran info and the entire directory appeared - from Archive through Zsh and mairix. I reinstalled the latest version of Pristine-tar - same error message, but the info directory was up to date; no entry for Pristine Cygwin-apps is the wrong list. Use the main one. (This might explain why you got no response previously.) Redirected. It is probably OK. Sometime one gets an error message but everything is OK. Do the experiment: Run pristine-tar to see if it works. If it doesn't, someone else would have make a suggestion. Regarding the error, the following will probably be instructive. $ sh -x -c /etc/postinstall/pristine-tar.sh ; echo $? Figure out what went wrong. Sometimes, one gets an exit code of 1 but nothing is really wrong. If there is something that you can change that would be expected to make the error go away, try it. Then run /etc/postinstall/pristine-tar.sh again. If it worked, do the following so that setup won't try running /etc/postinstall/pristine-tar.sh again. $ mv /etc/postinstall/pristine-tar.sh /etc/postinstall/pristine-tar.sh.done Good luck.

A new release of tar, 1.26-1, is available, leaving 1.25-1 as the previous version. NEWS: = This is a new upstream release. Upstream release notes are attached. See also the upstream documentation in /usr/share/doc/tar/. DESCRIPTION: GNU Tar is an archiver program. It is used to create and manipulate files that are actually collections of many other files; the program provides users with an organized and systematic method of controlling a large amount of data. Despite its name, that is an acronym of tape archiver, GNU Tar is able to direct its output to any available devices, files or other programs, it may as well access remote devices or files. The main areas of usage for GNU Tar are: storage, backup and transportation. UPDATE: === To update your installation, click on the Install Cygwin now link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up 'tar' from the 'Base' category (it should already be selected). DOWNLOAD: = Note that downloads from cygwin.com aren't allowed due to bandwidth limitations.
