Problem with deleting the Cygwin folder

Also when I manually go ahead and try to delete the contents of the folder, it gets hung up on the devices folder. Especially the one marked null, and even the thing created by the init functions. And seemingly as well the folder items inside it as well. Are there any suggestions from the group for a go around against this one?

it was there as recently as 5 AM today; I believe I used it around noon
today (27 September) as well.
Should I be worried? I've never heard of Cygwin being a target for --the

cygrunsrv but nothing else. Time to change my login password, maybe?

Of course, I edited the path for the alias back into .bash_aliases (didn't
want to give up the convenience, after all) but was prudent enough to use
another word than smith for it. {Think first Duke of Marlborough.}

Hello!
Well I ran Google on that term, and came up with the Wikipedia page.
((Which I won't cite here.)) But don't you mean Mr Churchill the PM

You may not have anything to worry about, however I am not a security
expert as far as Cygwin goes, I'm more of a user on it, and even on
Linux.
I do suggest you change your passwords for both that system and for the SSH one.
If that's not possible then make it impossible for the system to be
reached that way online via SSH.

It gives you a rather random collection of old packages, where some are years older than the current one and others just a couple of weeks. There's no guarantee that those disparate versions will actually work together properly, in fact, it's very likely that things will break. It sure doesn't get tested. Going back to the previous version of a particular package is useful when there's a regression in the latest version, but doing the same across the whole distro, not so much. Cygwin 1.5 and setup-legacy.exe is the way to go if you want something old and unsupported that actually works. Question: would anyone miss the Prev button if it were to disappear?

Each time I select a mirror and select those packages I want to update, the process starts. It continues up to some particular point, and then I get the incomplete download box, and the program wants me to try again. During the first phase of this attempted update I was working in an area that has had the rumors of a poorly configured proxy server, although the information of how this server was configured was never told to me. (Customer who has an IT department that sometimes resembles the Anarchists Football League complete with clones of each of their favorite stars.)

This time it happened again with the addition of the mirror based at the Open Software repository at the Oregon State University. - Gregg C Levine gregg dot drwho8 at gmail dot com This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again. I suspect these problems may be due to a broken setup.ini file. The setup.ini file on mirrors.kernel.org (as of 6/29/10) seems to indicate that libgnomecanvas2 is a source-only package (it doesn't have an install: stanza), but other packages are dependent on it. setup.exe tries to install it to satisfy the dependencies but download_one() exits without success since the packagesource::sitestype iterator has nothing to iterate. Manually setting it to Skip in the Gnome category allows the process to complete, albeit with a warning message about the dependency. gcc and glib are empty package, from setup.ini install: release/gcc/gcc-3.4.4-999.tar.bz2 46 install: release/GNOME/glib/glib-1.2.10-10.tar.bz2 46 a 46 byte package is an empty bzipped tar file. They are there to allow the pull of other packages, unfortunately setup forget to tick them and reinstall them every time. libgnomecanvas2 is the source package of libgnomecanvas2-devel libgnomecanvas2_0 I see no package requiring it, all dependency are for libgnomecanvas2_0 Marco Hello!

Incomplete downloads reported across several mirrors
Hello! I've been trying to update this 1.7.5 release of Cygwin since 11AM EDT, based on the multiple announcements of updated packages. Each time I select a mirror and select those packages I want to update, the process starts. It continues up to some particular point, and then I get the incomplete download box, and the program wants me to try again. During the first phase of this attempted update I was working in an area that has had the rumors of a poorly configured proxy server, although the information of how this server was configured was never told to me. (Customer who has an IT department that sometimes resembles the Anarchists Football League complete with clones of each of their favorite stars.)

Script questions
Hello!
For the work I do, building and running the Arduino programs first
from code retreived from SVN and then building it, I am using Cygwin.
Building prior releases worked without complications.
I now find out that the latest ones are using Ant from the Apache
project group to build each. Here's the thing, the script I am
presenting works to tell the whole system where Java is hiding:
(Linux)
#!/bin/sh
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/java
export MANPATH=${MANPATH}:${JAVA_HOME}/man
export PATH=${PATH}:${JAVA_HOME}/bin:${JAVA_HOME}/jre/bin
That one works perfectly, no problems whatsoever.
However the export and translation: (Cygwin)
g...@cmdrskywalker /etc/profile.d
$ cat jdk.sh
#!/bin/sh
export JAVA_HOME=/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Java
#export MANPATH=${MANPATH}:${JAVA_HOME}/man
export PATH=${PATH}:${JAVA_HOME}/bin:${JAVA_HOME}/jre/bin
That one, note the instructions to tell Cygwin where Java lives, only
tells it where to find the base directory. I am at a minor loss as to
how to enable the rest of it so as to be able to find the entire tool
chain. Especially since the company behind Java has its own mindset as
to how everything is laid out.
Now I can just see CGF posting Why the expletive deleted! are you
bothering us with this? (Yes I know you would not probably use foul
language online, but, ah, sometimes people do some darned strange
things in e-mail, and then want to have it removed, despite the
archiving rules of the list.)
My reason is that they are building the binaries with Cygwin tools and
redistributing the appropriate run-time libraries.
And I am also hoping that someone familiar with Ant has collided with
these problems before and can offer suggestions. My next step will be
to badger the people at the Ant site to offer clews. And also works
with the Arduino family.

Re: Linking Linux static library under Cygwin

My problem is the following.
I have a static library libmysqlclient.a, from MySQL version compiled
under Linux (mysql-5.0.45-linux-i686-glibc23).
Is there any possibility to link that library to an object file
complied under Cygwin's GCC?
For instance, I have the following code (test.c):
#include mysql.h
#include stdarg.h
#include stdio.h
#include stdlib.h
...
int main(int argc,char* argv[])
{
MYSQL *one, *two;
mysql_server_init(argc, argv, server_groups);
...
}
gcc -c test.c
As a result in test.o there is a reference to mysql_server_init()
function as _mysql_server_init, i.e. with '_' as the first symbol.
In libmysqlclient.a, where the code of mysql_server_init() function is
located, I see a reference to mysql_server_init (without '_'
symbol).
On attempt to link test.o with libmysqlclient.a I get the following error:
test.o: undefined reference to '_mysql_server_init'
because of problem described above.
Linking is initiated by executing such command:
gcc -o mian -L. -lmysqlclient main.o
Thus, could you please explain me:
- Is there any way to link and use Linux libraries under Cygwin at all?
- How can I workaround generation of references with '_' as a first
symbol in test.o?
Thanks in advance!
Hello!
Um no. That's not what Cygwin is for. If you want something that
originated on Linux to be made available for Cygwin, you're going to
need to build it yourself. There are ample hints that explain how to
do this.
You might want to ask on the Apps list to see if anyone has considered
porting MySQL to Cygwin, and what happened during the process.

Two questions
Hello! With the release of version 1.7.1 I decided to install it, and had a few issues with the beta one. I decided to install it into its own folder, cygwin171. Here are the two questions: How do I move the normally running services that Cygwin supplies from the regular folder to my new one? Following that, how do I remove the old folder? Here's the thing, Windows insists that I am the Administrator on this laptop. Everything that happened with regards to Cygwin seems to suggest that is not the case. And in this case the profile for Cygwin was installed while running the launcher as administrator. Please note, I have been away from Cygwin for some years, perhaps as much seven years. -- - Gregg C Levine gregg.drw...@gmail.com This signature was once found posting rude messages in English in the Moscow subway. -- 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
Problems with SSHD service partially resolved (Other problem not resolved.)
Hello! Okay, I've found and fixed the locations for the Windows Service entries concerning my new location for Cygwin. It does indeed confirm that the Cygwin service agent is indeed found at my new directory. But the SSHD service doesn't start as expected, it reports the same issues found back in November, covering the 21 to the 23rd. In case you are curious Larry, the first thing that I did when this installation was completed I then ran the scripts for the SSH services both host and client. And of course the regular service agent for Cygwin. My other problems are the typically idiotic Windows problems concerning removing a directory (or a directory of directories).

Interactive mode is the mode the shell is in when you're controlling it from a command prompt. The shell is usually not in interactive mode when it's executing a script. You can get the bash-completion package from here: http://cygwin.com/packages/ but I don't know if it installs the .bash_completion file itself or whether you have to do that yourself. I didn't even know about it until reading Eric's reply. complete -c sh Do I need to place this statement in the .bashrc? What is the proper syntax? Unless you are going to use the bash-completion package which will apparently get you this and much more, then yes, put that statement just as it is in your ~/.bashrc. That's one of the nice things about bash and other Unix shells: the syntax in a script file or initialization file is the same as the syntax from the keyboard. I am asking for confirmation to avoid breaking my console. By the way, I do not have the bash_completion file or a template for it. I could easily touch the file if necessary. What is $- ? $- is an environment variable that contains the current set of options. For example, from the bash I have running in an rxvt window, $ echo $- himBH You can then execute man bash and search for -h, for example, to discover that the shell will [r]emember the location of commands as they are looked up for execution.

Cross compilers and Cygwin
Hello from Gregg C Levine I need to build a cross compiler using Cygwin for the SH3/4 family of processors, for an embedded project who uses those, and then one for the M68K processors for the VME bus based systems who use those, end target will be Linux on them. Eventually I'll move the whole business for building the entire works for Linux.68K off of Cygwin, to Linux.X86 using the tool, and probably a supported distribution for that processor. I do not know what will be next here. I've downloaded and extracted the Crosstool cross compiler collection, but Dan's notes on his site, indicate that problems did exist with a prior release of the DLL, regarding parsing. He points to the message on this list which describes the problems with Cygwin-1.5.9-1, and then says, that upgrading to Cygwin-1.5.10-2 would work. But I think we are past that, if CGF will agree. However it does say, quoting, It also supports building toolchains that target Cygwin; see demo-cygwin.sh. Has anyone used that tool to build their compilers within a fairly recent amount of time? And can describe their experiences? Or am I on the wrong Cygwin list with this question? -- Gregg C Levine [EMAIL PROTECTED] This signature was once found posting rude messages in English in the Moscow subway. -- 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/
