On Wed, 22 Aug 2007 10:30:15 Corinna Vinschen wrote: Second, even if a FS appears case-insensitive, it isn't necessarily so. NTFS is case-sensitive. The case-insensitivity is actually handled by the Windows kernel. Basically, a flag in calls to functions taking a filename as parameter is all it takes to make a function call case-insensitive or not(**). The Win32 calls all use case-insensitivity. Some are switchable to work case-sensitive, but it's not of much help since other calls are always case-insensitive. Cygwin handles all file system calls case-insensitive, too. So far. So, in the Linux/FAT example we have a case-sensitive OS with a case-insensitive FS, with Win32/NTFS (Cygwin/NTFS) we have a case-insensitive OS with a case-sensitive FS. While the NT kernel can return information about the case-sensitivity of the underlying FS (***) (), I don't know about other OSes. I have mounted the NTFS on my Linux (Centos5) using the `mount.cifs' command. It is a case-sensitive OS with a case-sensitive FS but with case-insensitive mediator (the XP hosting OS). I think the Cygwin situation is almost exactly the same. However there is a big difference in how `mv' works on Cygwin and Linux: Cygwin test: # pwd /U/VID-shared/Incoming/subtitles/tmp # ll *c -rwxrwxrwx+ 1 None 34 Aug 22 23:09 TST.uc # mv tst.uc TsT.lc # ll *c -rwxrwxrwx+ 1 None 34 Aug 22 23:09 TsT.lc # mv tst.lc tst.lc mv: `tst.lc' and `tst.lc' are the same file # mv Tst.lc tst.lc mv: `Tst.lc' and `tst.lc' are the same file Linux test: # pwd /ehuds/U/VID-shared/Incoming/subtitles/tmp # ll *c -rw-rw 1 root root 34 Aug 22 23:09 TsT.lc # mv tst.lc tst.lc mv: `tst.lc' and `tst.lc' are the same file # mv tSt.lc tst.lc # ll *c -rwxrwSrwt 1 root root 34 Aug 22 23:09 tst.lc Please note the difference: On both system the mv tst.lc tst.lc fails with same file error, but mv Tst.lc tst.lc (i.e. case change only) fails only on Cygwin, On the Linux it just works. May be the Cygwin1 DLL or the Cygwin `mv' should do less checking and so it might `just work' too ?

Among my many scripts, there are some with DOS (i.e. CR LF) ending

I wrote a little script that can fix bash scripts with CRs by adding
the required set -o igncr line.

1. You can, of course, replace the `awk' with a simple `d2u' if
you don't need the CRs at all.
2. Change the `grep' arguments (mostly the -r and the files list)
to suit your needs.
3. This script will fail on a file with : in its name (which can
occur only on manged mounts, because of the OS limitations)

Re: window resizing not updating COLUMNS and LINES

Ok, that makes sense, although my understanding is that if the child process is 'bash' (including a script run by bash), then it will have a non-exported copy of the var set correctly. Or rather, it would/should if this was working at all.

I get the exact same results with xterm 6.8.2.0(202). My conclusions: Both rxvt and xterm do their job properly. The export is not needed (LINES and COLUMNS are local variables). The stty does not set these vars. (both tested separately, not shown). The bash variables are not set until the window change size (until bash gets the SIGWINCH signal ? ). Since it seems to work fine (almost), I guess the problem is with cygwin1.dll 1.5.19. Ehud. BTW.

There are much better choices however -- many people will store such downloads in a generic download directory and having no mention of the actual program/system name in the file is a nuisance (understandable, but a nuisance.) And of course one can name the download something else when saving it, but then it is difficult to tell on the next update if you have the same file/different version already. cygwin.exe or cygwinsetup.exe would both be better names. I also think that `setup.exe' is a bad name. `cygwin.exe' is no good. `cygwinsetup' or `cygwin-setup' is good descriptive name.

Re: Bash puzzle: Spaces, environment variables and tab completion

One minus with this 'cheat' is that I don't get
the 'real' name of the path. E.g. If I cd ~/pf,

was a hard link, neither link would be the real
name, but with a symlink, there is some sense of
real and virtual. So, if anyone has a fix for
this minor glitch, I'd appreciate comments.
You can create a function to achieve your desire:
cd ()
{
builtin cd $1
builtin cd `pwd -P`
}
To test it interactively, you have to do the definition like this
function cd () { builtin cd $1 ; builtin cd `pwd -P` ; }
Now, whenever you'll cd to a directory it will translate the full
directory path to its real (cygwin's) path without any symlinks.
Note. This will work with the symlink work around, NOT with the
mount one (because mount is new REAL name).
Note to Gary - this is the bash/UNIX way, you don't have to use
cygwin's unique tools (like cygpath).

Re: Bash puzzle: Spaces, environment variables and tab completion
What I want to do is define an environment variable so I can easily cd or ls. E.g. % PF=/cygdrive/c/Program Files % cd $PF % ls $PF/Games % ls $PF/Gtab completion! The above is close, I can % cd $PF; ls $PF/Games; and even ls $PF/Gtab however, the quotes are clunky. That's the bash way. You can get omit the enclosing quotes if you change the IFS environment variable like this IFS=. Note that this may harm execution of your commands/scripts. Read the bash man page for more information. My (bypass) solution to your problem is to make a symlink to the desired directory without spaces in it and use that file name. e.g. ln -s /cygdrive/c/Program Files ~/PF The advantage of this bypass is that you can use the symlink in scripts without defining the environment variable for each one.

Possible bug in non blocking read from /dev/tty
I'm converting from a program linux to Cygwin. This program uses non
blocking read from the terminal by setting the VMIN and VTIME in the
`termios' structure and doing a non CANON read, like this:
ttyarg.c_cc [VMIN] = 0 ;
ttyarg.c_cc [VTIME] = 1 ;
ttyarg.c_lflag = 0 ;
The read does BLOCK (wait for a character to be typed) and does not
return after 1/10 second as it supposed (It works OK on linux).
I added a call to `stty -a' before and after I change the terminal
attributes. here is the output:
Before:

If you are very familiar with Linux, you should know that you have several options. 1. You can escape the space by using backslash, i.e. do cd /cygdrive/c/Documents\ and\ settings 2. You can use wildcard - cd /cygdrive/c/Documents*settings or cd /cygdrive/c/Documents?and?settings 3. You can quote the full directory name, i.e. do cd /cygdrive/c/Documents and settings 4.

Cygwin is cool! I'm using it for more than 2 years and it made my life much easier on M$Windows front. I port programs from UNIX in a matter of minuets and I can use (almost) all the GNU tools. We must all thank the small Cygwin team and the few long time volunteers who help them.

Emacs for Cygwin (was: cygwin-mount.el, Using GDB in NTEMACS)
Below is Eli Zaretskii mail from 23 Feb 2002. I think that we need a CygEmacs - an emacs that will be compiled with the real Cygwin ported gcc (i.e. without the -mno-cygwin). CygEmacs will have UNIX APIs for I/O (files and sockets), and M$Windows APIs for the display and the keyboard. This is already done (partly) by the Cygwin port of rxvt. If this is too difficult, may be a version of Emacs for Cygwin, that use only the UNIX APIs can be ported. This Emacs version will be used only within Cygwin's windows - Console or rxvt (Emacs in TTY mode) or real display (using Cygwin-Xfree). Any of these version will solve the 2 major issues of using Emacs with Cygwin - 1. The files (names and attributes). 2. Running of sub-shells in Emacs (file is not tty problem). It may solve another problem that bothers me - running a client on the PC to a server on UNIX. Ehud. --- Original Eli's mail --- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Jari Aalto+mail.emacs) Date: Sat, 23 Feb 2002 11:29:27 +0200 all Windows users continue complaining why Emacs does not help them to use Cygwin environment more easily. They should complain to Cygwin developers. I asked before, and I'll ask again: did someone try to talk to the Cygwin developers about this issue? Did someone ask them what do they think about supporting Windows file names better, and if so, what did they reply? It strikes me that an important party to this discussion is strangely absent. -- Ehud Karni Tel: +972-3-7966-561 /\ Mivtach - Simon Fax: +972-3-7966-667 \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign Insurance agencies (USA) voice mail and X Against HTML Mail http://www.mvs.co.il FAX: 1-815-5509341 / \ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Better Safe Than Sorry -- 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/
