Re: associating device names with cygdrive directories
Is there an easy way to find the association of a given /dev/sd? with
the corresponding /cygdrive/?. Is there a good way to verify the
association before writing to the device with dd?

Thanks. That is the mapping I was looking for.

If I know that /dev/sda1 maps to /live/image1, then I can use df and ls
on /live/image1
to identify the device - easier than using dd |strings on /dev/sda1.

with distinguishing among USB storage devices.

I think this link should help a little: http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-specialnames.html#pathnames-posixdevices The POSIX device names are generated from the Windows information/layout of these devices. So your best bet is to look to Windows to get the device number - drive letter association and then fill in the rest from there. I had read that reference, but don't see how it helps to find whether a given USB storage device is sda, sdb, or whatever. I found that a flash drive was /dev/sdc by unplugging all other USB devices and trial-and-error with dd if=/dev/sdc |od|less, but there must be a better way. I want to use multiple USB devices at the same time, and they don't all have stuff on them that I can recognize in binary. On Linux, the mount command reveals the association between filesystem names and /dev/ names, but Cygwin mount doesn't tell. The cited reference mentions NT internal device names, but I don't know what those are or how to find them.

Then I've been lucky so far. After transferring large directory trees
over a network using Windows file sharing I frequently end up with a few
files that I can't figure out how to delete under Windows, for some
reason I can't fathom. The following, in a Cygwin script, fixes the problem:
find . -name '*' -print -exec chmod 777 {} \;

Sure - don't see why not - when you run the setup.exe program select the option for download only and then place them in whatever folder you want. Burn that folder to CD and then when you get it home you can run setup.exe again and this time select the the option for install from local and select the path where the files are now - either the cd or where you copied to your hard drive. Two comments: 1) CD file formats don't always accept the long directory names created by cygwin setup, so it is safer to zip or tar the files before copying to CD. 2) You can also install from net (rather than download from net), since all the downloaded compressed files are retained. Make sure setup.exe is in the directory with the compressed files, zip that directory, transfer via CD, then use setup.exe with the install from disk option. That way you can check out your installation before transferring or archiving. Without remembering the details, I think install-from-net also prevents duplicate file downloads whenever downloading is interrupted and then completed later. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

Charles,
addr2line expects addresses of functions. It also expects its input
executables to be compiled with debugging support enabled.
Try the following:
awk '/^[0-9]/{print $2}' testprog.exe.stackdump | addr2line -f -e
testprog.exe
If testprog.exe was compiled with the -g gcc flag, this should work and
give you the names of the functions *in testprog.exe*. Functions that
came from DLLs will need a separate invocation of addr2line (I don't think
you can specify several -e targets in one command), and will require DLLs
with debugging information, AFAIK.

Problem using ftp with rxvt
When ftp is opened in rxvt, some of the incoming text that should be written to the screen is lost. Simplest example: at shell prompt, enter ftp. One does not get the ftp prompt, but one is indeed running ftp, since if one next types help you get the header for the help screen, with the rest of the help screen missing. Again no ftp prompt, but typing quit gets you back to the bash prompt. type ftp shows that this is using the cygwin ftp, not the windows ftp. ftp works ok from the bash console, and rxvt seems to work ok for capturing local output and for using vim with mark/copy/paste, but ftp and rxvt don't work together. My problem is that when I try to get directory information on a remote machine using ftp commands ls or dir, it scrolls off the bash screen faster than I can read it. On Unix, I used the command script to deal with this problem, but there seems to be no script command in cygwin. rxvt is the only way I know to capture output before it scrolls away.

Re: slow windows foreground operation after installing cygwin-1.5.17-1
The new cygwin1.dll (1.5.17-1) now lets me run fortran programs with large static arrays that occupy most of the available memory, but it is no longer possible to run Windows programs (MSWord or even Windows Explorer) in the foreground while a big math problem is chugging along in the background.

On the other hand, there is no evident problem with foreground cygwin processes. Using vim in a second cygwin window, I am typing this note in the foreground with no problems.

Getting around 160 MB limit in g77 under cygwin
Jim McDonald wrote: I read your message about this g77 limit in the cygwin mail archives. I just installed cygwin-1.5.13-1 today and ran into the 160-MByte limit on memory for static variables under g77.

Either I blundered the first time, or there has been some change in my system since then: 1) I reinstalled the old cygwin version for which changing the stack size was at one time, but no longer, an effective fix 2) I cleared the Windows Prefetch directory. Some comments in the cygwin mail archives suggest that the problem resides in the cygwin loader (a modification of gnu ld?).

After completing the installation, if you burn that directory to a CD, you have everything you need to reinstall to that or another computer.

But as I understand it, setup.exe ignores the cache and looks only at what has been actually installed. So if you don't get all the files you want in a single session, and don't install, then you have problems. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
Installing cygwin NOT from web
Is the following statement correct? Installing from web, rather than downloading to disk, eliminates the risks of !) having to download the same file twice and 2) having duplicate files (from different mirrors) retained in the cache. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
how to freeze a version of cygwin
In order to ensure that I could reinstall a working cygwin version if necessary, I have in the past used the download from internet option in setup, then burned the installation files to a CD. However, it looks like the same files are downloaded and retained if one selects install from internet. Is that correct? Can one reliably reinstall, say after a hard drive replacement and without an internet connection, using only a CD copy of the download directory generated by using install from internet? -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

size limit for static arrays in cygwin/gcc
Is there some limit on the size of one-dimensional static arrays in cygwin/gcc short of available memory and 2**32 address space? Is there some place I should be looking this up? -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

(Response to Max Bowsher): Thanks, but my question was whether there is any OTHER limit than memory.

size limit for static arrays in cygwin/gcc
I have two systems, one with 64 Mb of physical memory and standard cygwin
installation that I have used happily for over a year, and a newer one with
512 Mb of physical memory. On the new one, I have used regtool to set 1024
Mb. The max_memory program listed in the users guide now verifies 1024 Mb.
My problem is getting cygwin/g77 or cygwin/f2c to fully utilize the memory
in the new computer so that I can enlarge the array sizes in my fortran
programs to accomodate my largest data sets. If anyone is willing to read a
posting with fortran in the subject line, they can find my real problem
described a few threads back. I described a fixup that works for me, but I
question
whether it is safe and stable.
Meanwhile, I am trying to find an equivalent problem in C so that it will
get more attention. Unfortunately, I don't know much C. The subsequent
program fails with a segmentation violation if one tries to allocate more
than a few Mb of memory on either my old or my new system. Why? What limit
am I bumping into?
/* bigc - find max static array size */
/* same size limit whether bigger array or multiple arrays */
/* if arrays are allocated dynamically, one can access much more mem */
#include stdio.h
int main(){
int i,j, idim;
double array[10][2]; /* works OK */
/* double array[10][3]; */ /* seg fault */
printf(sizeof(double)=%d\n,sizeof(double));
printf(sizeof(int)=%d\n,sizeof(int));
printf(sizeof(array)=%d\n,sizeof(array));
return 0;
}

size limit for static arrays in cygwin/gcc
:Danny Smith wrote By default stack reserve is set to 2MB by ld.exe. Try setting stack reserve higher, eg, -Wl,--stack=0x200 will get you 32MB stack reserve - Thanks. That was a revelation. I thought stack was for pointers and automatic variables, and a big stack was needed only for deep recursion. So the trick of increasing the stack, which works for g77, does not simply displace a bug to another part of memory. f2c still doesn't work for large arrays, even setting -Wl in CFLAGS, but maybe CFLAGS is not passed through the shell script used with f2c to emulate f77. I'll have to look at that sometime, but g77 will serve for now. I've had no problem using f2c for large arrays on a unix system. Running fortran used to be simpler. You just had to remember to drop in the compiler deck first, the data deck last. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
Big fortran arrays: is this behavior expected?
There is still a problem with big fortran arrays even after resetting heap_chunk_in_mb 1024. The subsequent test program exits with no output and no error message. When run in gdb, a segmentation fault is reported. Following a suggestion from comp.lang.fortran, I increased the stack size using compiler flag -Wl,--stack,0x40. With this change I can now access a bit over 770 Mb, above which the program fails with an erroneous message saying that I have multiple copies of cygwin1.dll. However, this smells like a bug, for the following reasons: 1) Crashing with no message. I've used cygwin for more than a year on smaller systems and have not encountered any flaky behavior. 2) After increasing stack size, the test program fails at a different point, this time with a message, but an incorrect one (it thinks I have multiple cygwin1.dll's). 3) Should one need a big stack just to declare one matrix and assign values to a couple of elements? Converting the program to C by means of f2c also leads to failure, and increasing the stack size is not a successful fix in that case. I don't know enough C to interpret this, beyond noting that f2c creates one large static one-dimensional array, and fiddling with some simple test routines suggests to me that cygwin/gcc doesn't like such large static arrays. Although I can now successfully port all my fortran code from unix to cygwin, the stacksize fixup seems flaky and I fear it might collapse with the next change in either cygwin or Windows. Apropos of recent remarks about how the simple setup routine has degraded the user base, I confess to being one of the degraded users. For years I ran fortran from my desktop using telnet in a DOS box, connecting to a unix workstation. Cygwin provides a virtually identical environment. Cygwin eliminated the workstation and Cygwin setup eliminates the system administrator that kept the workstation running. It is heavenly to gain a solid fortran platform without having to learn anything about either unix administration or Windows.

Memory for large arrays in cygwin/g77
I tried the procedure cited in the user manual, but the test program fails with message shell returned 128 when I try to add a second matrix of the same size. Initially, max_memory indicated insufficient memory so, I increased the virtual memory limits (Windows XP Pro) to initial 1536, max 2048. After this change, max_memory resulted in exactly 1024. I then used exactly the regtool commands specified in the user manual. The result of the list command looked OK. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
