ls | xargs
Hello, Starting with the 2013 snapshots, the following no longer work: % /usr/bin/ls | /usr/bin/xargs /usr/bin/echo Instead of giving basically the same output as plain ls, the command does not finish and xargs remains in defunct state.

Re: Conflated ping issues
On 03/01/2013 18:07, David McAllister wrote: Hi. I have three machines that all run Win 7 x64 and all have updated Cygwin installs. I thought I installed them all the same, but I'm getting two differences, both centered around the ping command. Machine 1 doesn't have /usr/bin/ping.exe, so it uses Windows PING.EXE: which ping /cygdrive/c/Windows/system32/ping I type ping and it runs PING.EXE and succeeds. Machine 2 had /usr/bin/ping.exe, but when I run it I get ping: socket: operation not permitted. So I found a thread about that not working unless you have admin priviliges, so I deleted /usr/bin/ping.exe in favor of Windows PING.EXE and rehashed. However, on this machine it doesn't map ping to PING, like it does on the other machine. If I type PING it successfully runs Windows PING. Machine 3 has /usr/bin/ping.exe and when I type ping it runs it successfully. I didn't do anything special when launching mintty or tcsh to put it in administrator mode. I am an administrator on all three machines. a) What makes one machine case insensitive to DOS commands and the other sensitive? b) What makes one machine succeed with Cygwin ping and the other not, when I'm an admin on both? Do you have the package ping on any of the machines? http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-cat.cgi?file=ping%2Fping-1.0-1grep=ping.exe If you see your $PATH, you will see that /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin go first, so if you have ping or ping.exe in there that will be executed. If don't, it will go down dir by dir until found (if). So if you install ping from cygwin package you are giving preference to it. Since in windows executables can be called 'yourbin' or 'yourbin.exe' both work, and the same for upper/lowercase. If you run MOUNT or Mount it will run the cygwin version as well. About the socket problem, no idea. -- 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
cygwin make fails when calling mkdir in Windows 7
I'm using make package version 3.82.90-1. cygwin1.dll version is 1.7.13. Occasionally make will fail with the error: make[1]: *** No rule to make target `path`, needed by `rule`. Stop. path and rule are not terribly relevant but path is under /cygdrive/c/... I started having this problem on upgrading to Windows 7. I've tried the solutions I've found elsewhere such as running Cygwin as administrator and making sure I have local administrator rights on my laptop--which I do. However, I still have this problem. Executing: mkdir -pv path after the make failure and re-issuing the make command causes the build to progress past the point of this fault, as expected. Soon, though, it stumbles when trying to create another path. Interestingly make doesn't seem to fail when creating the first level of a path hierarchy. For example, if the makefile were trying to create: folder1 folder1/subfolder1 folder1/subfolder2 folder1 is created but the errors occur when it hits the rule trying to create the subfolderN's. ls -al shows the permissions for folder1 and subfolder1 are identical even though one was created by make and one was created by me with mkdir: drwxr-xr-x+ 1 e198614Domain Users 0 Jan 3 15:45 I'd really like to know if there's a solution to this problem other than having to manually mkdir the paths that make seems to fail to be able to make.

Backspace in shell doesn't backspace after Cygwin update
My hard drive on my Win7 laptop crashed last week, and I'm now trying to get everything I had reinstalled. After I reinstalled Cygwin (now at 1.7.17), I'm seeing some problems starting up Cygwin tools. I don't see anything specifically about this in the FAQ. I normally run C:\Cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -display :0 -fn Lucida Console-14 -tn rxvt-cygwin-native -e /bin/bash --login from a shortcut for a shell outside of Emacs. When I do this now, it looks ok, but I'm now finding that the Backspace key just moves the cursor forward one character, not deleting the previous character. I have another shortcut for C:\Cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/rxvt.exe -display 127.0.0.1:0 -tn rxvt-cygwin -e /bin/bash --login. This behaves the same as the previous with respect to Backspace. mintty does the same. The Emacs shell is fine. My CYGWIN variable is just set to nodosfilewarning. Pressing Ctl-v followed by backspace gets ^H. This is the output of stty: speed 38400 baud; line = 0; erase = ^H; swtch = undef; I compared my ~/.inputrc with /etc/defaults/etc/skel/.inputrc and there were only differences in comments. What other information would be relevant? -- 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

Not that I have any specific reason to believe there is a fix in the past three versions you have skipped, but it shows a willingness to help diagnose it on your part, and ensures those who might help are on the same page with you. You can't expect people to downgrade just to help you, if it turns out to be an old bug. The other standard bit of advice, at the bottom of every post to this list, is Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html; path and rule are not terribly relevant but path is under /cygdrive/c/... What happens if you move the build tree under ~cpow? Does it always succeed, or does the problem remain? I've found elsewhere such as running Cygwin as administrator and making sure I have local administrator rights on my laptop--which I do. This suggests BLODA. Nothing other than some bit of quasi-malware should have the ability to deny Administrator the right to do anything. Executing: mkdir -pv path after the make failure and re-issuing the make command causes the build to progress past the point of this fault, as expected. What happens if you just re-start the make operation? Does it persist in failing to get past that point, or does re-starting it sometimes get you past the problem? I'm basing this question on the assumption that the Makefile is well-written, such that if the directory creation fails, re-starting the make operation will retry the mkdir operation. That requires that someone has set up the necessary dependency rules, though. Soon, though, it stumbles when trying to create another path. Is it always the same paths, or is it random? I'd really like to know if there's a solution to this problem other than having to manually mkdir the paths that make seems to fail to be able to make. It slows down my automated build quite dramatically! If this were affecting everyone, you'd be seeing a lot of yelling on this list. (More than normal I mean. :) ) Those of us who maintain Cygwin packages would all be affected, for instance. -- 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: adding a folder to my path
Greetings, LMH! I think this is a cygwin question, though it is certainly a general linux question as well. I would like to divide up and organize some of the apps and links in my path directories (such as /usr/local/bin) into sub directories. If I add a folder to /usr/local/bin, that folder is not in my path. Can someone give me the instructions for adding a folder such as /usr/local/bin/ruby_viewer/ to my path? Answers already given aside, you shouldn't do that. -- WBR, Andrey Repin (anrdae...@freemail.ru) 04.01.2013, 07:17 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
