Question about Managed Mode and UMSDOS
Just a question. (I googled http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Acygwin.com%20umsdos and did not find an answer -- at least one that I could recognize.) Are the file structures used by managed mode consistant with those used by Linux's UMSDOS file system? For example, will a Cywin managed mode mount be accessable in unmunged form by a Linux using a UMSDOS driver and visa versa? Thanks, - Barry __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: bash lockup
I see this all the time, too (in Win98se). WINOLDAP seems to be how Windows handles the cygwin console. It also uses it for win95cmd. And it is there even when nothing is locked up. Windows doesn't seem to use WINOLDAP for a COMAND.COM DOS box. Don't think of it as a problem or bug (or even a feature); think of it as a behavior. It's not that hard to live with. - Barry At 01:41 AM 2/1/2003, Sean McBride wrote: I thank all of you who comented on my last post. I have another small problem.

RE: gawk not taking redirected input under command.com
cygwin1-20021007.dll fixes it, but a new bug is
revealed.
To remind you, this is on command.com on win98se with
all mounts binmode.
As before,
C:\ gawk '{ print ! $0 ! }' autoexec.bat
works as expected placing a ! at the beginning of
each line and a ! at the end.
C:\ gawk '{ print ! $0 ! }' autoexec.bat
no longer gives the error message about file `-' is a
directory.
The new bug was that only the leading ! is inserted.
In further testing
C:\ gawk '{print x $0 y}' autoexec.bat
worked as expected with an x at the beginning of
each line and a y at the end. But
C:\ gawk '{print x $0 y}' autoexec.bat
gave no x but y was at the *beginning* of the
line!
C:\ gawk '{print $0 yz }' autoexec.bat
showed that what was happening was that the yz was
*overwriting* the beginning of the line.
C:\ gawk '{print 123 $0 yz }' autoexec.bat
showed that the leading 123 was being inserted
correctly before xy overwrote the 12.
Any more data I could collect to help someone debug
this? (I'm a user, not a programmer.)

I'm not sure how or why this was fixed, but it seems
like this
is fixed in the current cygwin snapshots and so will
be fixed in
the 1.3.13 release.
We're still having some problems with the DLL, though,
so I don't
have an ETA for the official release.
In the meantime, try a snapshot:

Calm down.
C:\ gawk '{print $0 yz }' autoexec.bat
showed that what was happening was that the yz
was *overwriting*
the
beginning of the line.
So, to summarize, this is a standard CRLF problem.
If you look at the
output in od or less you can see what is going on.
I don't know why this version of gawk is having CRLF
problems. I'll
check to see if this is a cygwin problem or a gawk
problem but I
suspect
it is a gawk problem.

RE: gawk not taking redirected input under command.com
I get the same problems under under win95cmd.exe. It
fails with redirection but not reading input from a
file:
C:\ c:\cygwin\bin\gawk -f t autoexec.bat
gawk: t:3: fatal: file `-' is a directory
Running under strace and back under command.com I get
the following:
C:\ type t | c:\cygwin\bin\strace -o strace.out
c:\cygwin\bin\gawk -f t
gawk: t:3: fatal: file `-' is a directory
I've attached strace's output.
Might the fact that the line number quoted is *after*
the end of the file tell us something? (t has 2 lines
but the error is in line 3. When the script is on the
command line, the error is in line 2.)

Don,
The gawk examples work under cmd.exe in Win2k. It is
possible, however, that command.com doesn't do the
right thing with pipes. Does strace run under Win98?
If so, the output of c:\cygwin\bin\strace
c:\cygwin\bin\gawk '...' autoexec.bat might be
instructive...

gawk not taking redirected input under command.com
I have a problem with gawk.
Under bash, it works as expected.
Under command.com (win98se) it does the following when
taking input from a pipe or by redirection.
C:\ cat autoexec.bat | gawk '{ print ! $0 ! }'
GAWK: cmd. line:2: fatal: file `-' is a directory
C:\ gawk '{ print ! $0 ! }' autoexec.bat
GAWK: cmd. line:2: fatal: file `-' is a directory
I similarly misbehaves when putting the awk script
into a file and taking input from a pipe.
C:\ cat t
{ print ! $0 ! }
C:\ cat autoexec.bat | gawk -f t
GAWK: t:3: fatal: file `-' is a directory
C:\ gawk -f t autoexec.bat
GAWK: t:3: fatal: file `-' is a directory
However taking input directly from a file works as
expected. (I'll spare you the output.)
C:\ gawk '{ print ! $0 ! }' autoexec.bat
C:\ gawk -f t autoexec.bat
Filtering through dos2unix or unix2dos before gawk
doesn't help.
Filtering through cat after awk doesn't help.
--posix and --traditional don't help.
Any suggestions?

RE: gcc doesn't work but seemed to install fine...
download.com just points to setup.exe on the cygwin home page so what she got was up to date but incomplete. Betty didn't see the instructions for how to install so didn't install gcc and man, as neither gcc nor man are part of the base install. Betty should see the the installation instructions on the cygwin home page http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ and then re-run steup. And get in the habit of using the cygwin home page and not download.com when dealing with cygwin. - Barry On Mon, 23 Sep 2002, Betty Cheung wrote: Hi, all, I installed cygwin 1.3.1 whole package on my PC with windows XP from download.com as instructed and started cygwin from my desktop.

This could have something to do with the fact that you didn't get it from an official Cygwin mirror... Also, 1.3.1 is OLD, OLD, OLD! Here's what you can do: Rename your current cygwin directory (to cygwin.old, for example). Go to http://cygwin.com/ , click on Install Cygwin now, and download setup.exe. Follow the instructions to upgrade your Cygwin to 1.3.12-4 (which is the latest for now; 1.3.13 may be released soon). You may choose any mirror. Also install gcc-2.95.3-5 (or you may try your luck with 3.2-1), and any other packages you think you need (e.g., man, less, etc). Move any files you created from your old cygwin tree to the new one. Then try your compilation again. Igor P.S. You may also remove your old cygwin tree at that point -- you won't need it anymore. -- http://cs.nyu.edu/~pechtcha/ |\ _,,,---,,_[EMAIL PROTECTED] ZZZzz /,`.-'`'-. ;-;;,_[EMAIL PROTECTED] |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Igor Pechtchanski '---''(_/--' `-'\_) fL a.k.a JaguaR-R-R-r-r-r-.-.-.

RE: gcc doesn't work but seemed to install fine...
I didn't know that about download.com either. I was interested in seeing if they supplied source so I looked and that was what I found. - Barry --- Igor Pechtchanski [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Oh, didn't know that about download.com. What threw me off was the subject -- one can read it as gcc installed fine, so I assumed she actually explicitly installed gcc... My bad.
