xterm and cut paste
This may have a simple answer but I can not find it. I have been using xterm in cygwin for some time. Recently I updated and it gave me a new different xterm. I have grown to like it, but there is one problem that was not there in the old version. Cut and paste works fine fine within the xterm using highlight for cut and the middle mouse button for paste. However it does not work in and out of xterm. If I use ^C to cut a section in a web page, I can not paste it into the xterm. Similarly I can not copy say a URL from the xterm into Firefox.

Is is safe to remove the old gcc (3.*) packages and replace them by symlinks to the new gcc4 executables? Read the archives. Dave has mentioned that he is planning on a future packaging of the gcc packages that use the alternatives package, so that the symlink management of the name gcc can be done automatically to point to either gcc-3 or gcc-4. But at the moment, I'm not sure whether the gcc-4 package requires files provided by the gcc package, in which case blindly deleting all thing gcc 3.* might break gcc-4. Got it. But I was actually just planning on removing the gcc and g77 executables, and make those names point to gcc4 executables instead. It actually has nothing to do with disk space: the whole point is that, when compiling a program, I want to make sure it will *not* use g77, but gfortran instead. The way it is now, I have to specify gfortran-4 as the fortran compiler, say by using FC=/usr/bin/gfortran-4, but one can never be sure exactly how a specific 'configure' program will find its compilers. So, the removal of gcc/g77 executables and replacing by a symlink would remove any possibility for confusion. That could lead to confusion as the arguments for gfortran are not identical to those for g77. Myself, I want to have both to check that code compiles OK with both them. Brian. 2. In this case, which executables should I point the symlink to? For instance, if I were to replace g77 by a symlink to gfortran, which of the 4 gfortran executables should I use: $ locate gfortran | grep exe /bin/gfortran-4.exe /bin/i686-pc-cygwin-gfortran-4.exe These are identical copies; one is the name preferred when cross-compiling, the other when doing native compiles. Got it, thanks. But why worry about adding symlinks? Why not just rely on what the package gave you, since it works? Are you really that low on disk space? I suppose they could be made hardlinks to one another, if someone were to invest the time into patching setup.exe to attempt to make hardlinks (instead of its current behavior of blindly creating identical copies, even when the tar file specifies hardlinks). /usr/bin/gfortran-4.exe /usr/bin/i686-pc-cygwin-gfortran-4.exe These two are identical to the ones above - you need to read the manual, and remind yourself that /bin and /usr/bin are mount points that visit the same directory. Removing /bin/gfortran-4.exe would simultaneously make /usr/bin/gfortran-4.exe disappear. 3. Lastly, just a dumb question: why do we get multiple executables in the first place? I noticed that g77 also comes in multiple files: $ locate g77 | grep exe /bin/g77.exe /usr/bin/g77.exe Is that really necessary? Yes, because that's how the default mount points are set up. OK, I had missed the point about /bin and /usr/bin actually pointing to the same directory. Things are a lot clearer now.

Thanks for your help You would have had the exact same experience on a Linux or FreeBSD system if you had downloaded a set of gcc4 binaries and ran them without their prerequisite libraries installed, and that is the sense in which I meant that it's not specific to Cygwin. Like Larry said when gcc4 stabilizes to the point where we can offer it as packages in setup.exe, then this problem won't exist as the packaging system allows us to express the dependency information necessary to automatically install the needed prerequisite packages without the user having any domain-specific knowledge. In that sense it's also a generic problem that you encounter whenever you step outside the bounds of whatever package management facility your operating system offers. I understand all this, but this case seems an odd one to me. If I am missing a library I expect to find a clear error message that it needs it, but here I just got nothing. I agree that this not a cygwin problem. I have yet to update my old gfortran 4.2. on linux to 4.3 and I guess I will have the same problem as the linux needs upgrading too.

The script for doing this, modified with the -mno-cygwin flag starts off with these errors:- Beginning the DDI compilation at Wed May 4 18:09:43 AUSCST 2005 Compiling common object: soc_create.o gcc -DLINUX -O3 -mno-cygwin -fstrict-aliasing -I./include -DDDI_SOC -DMAX_SMP_PROCS=8 -DMAX_NODES=32 -c ./src/soc_create.c -o ./obj/soc_create.o In file included from src/soc_create.c:21: include/mysystem.h:34:28: sys/resource.h: No such file or directory include/mysystem.h:73:23: pthread.h: No such file or directory include/mysystem.h:81:21: netdb.h: No such file or directory include/mysystem.h:82:26: sys/socket.h: No such file or directory include/mysystem.h:83:26: netinet/in.h: No such file or directory include/mysystem.h:84:27: netinet/tcp.h: No such file or directory Now I think it is looking in /usr/include/mimgw. Is that right? Before line 34 of mysystem.h there are several include files which are in /usr/include/mingw or /usr/include/mingw/sys. However the ones it flags above are not there, although they are in /usr/include or /usr/include/sys. Now, I did not install any of the mingw stuff deliberately. When I came to use -mno-cygwin, I found they were already there. However, am I missing something? Or is there another explanation of the above errors. Everything compiles OK without the -mno-cygwin flag and the code runs under cygwin fine.

I don't think you fully understand what the -mno-cygwin flag means. Cygwin provides the unix/posix emulation layer, things like the berkeley sockets API and pthreads[*] that you are missing above. When you use -mno-cygwin, you are using a completely different compiler. Mingw has no emulation layer, that's the minimalist part. When you use mingw, you get a standard C runtime library (provided by MSVCRT, i.e. Windows), the bare win32 API, and not much else. No berkeley sockets. No pthreads. None of the stuff that Cygwin provides. -mno-cygwin does not just make things that doesn't depend on the cygwin DLL, it removes Cygwin from the equation entirely. I did understand that. If I understand you correctly, one can not use Mingw from inside cygwin to produce working code that uses sockets and pthreads. Is that correct? This code does use sockets and pthreads although I do not strictly need them as it is code that uses them to run in parallel and I only want to run on one processor. Oh well, I can still use it in cygwin. Thanks for your help. Brian. Brian [*] Yes I know of projects like pthreads-win32.

Printing locally.
Gygwin is a great product and it allows me to do much unix work but on top of windows. I am essentially a unix person. Now I am trying to simply print text mutt mail messages to a local printer plugged into the back of my machine, which is running Windows2000. I have read the FAQ and searched the mailing list archives. Most of what I find refers to remote printing or clever stuff using a2ps etc. My problem is that I do not know how to refer to the printer. This is probably my lack of knowledge of Win2000. Here is the bit in the FAQ:- FAQAlternatively, on NT, you can use the Windows `print' command. (It does FAQnot seem to be available on Win9x.) Type FAQbash$ print /\? FAQfor usage instructions (note the `?' must be escaped from the shell). OK, I do this and get:- $ PRINT /\? Prints a text file. PRINT [/D:device] [[drive:][path]filename[...]] /D:device Specifies a print device. OK, so I have PRINT. If I type PRINT a.txt where a.txt is a simple text file, it says it has printed it, but nothing prints. What does /D:device mean? I can find nothing to help me on this. FAQFinally, you can simply `cat' the file to the printer's share name: FAQbash$ cat myfile //host/printer What does //host/printer mean? I have seen this with remote printing, but I just want to print to the default printer plugged into the back of my machine. It is called CanonBJC-1000SP. How do I refer to it? I would much appreciate some help on this point. Regards, Brian. -- Brian Salter-Duke (Brian Duke) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Honorary Fellow in Chemistry, NT University, Darwin, NT 0909, Australia.

Mutt and iconv
The latest version of mutt in the unstable branch is 1.3.24. This is now beta and it is the recommended version to use. Could this be added to cygwin? It is much better than the old 1.2.5 version. I tried to compile it it but I do not have iconv. Even with --without-iconv on configure it fails because I do not have iconv. Is iconv part of gygwin and I just missed it? Or can I get it from somewhere else?
