Re: cc: not found error
In cygwin setup.exe you may want to click on Default next to All to select all packages for install. This way you will not miss gcc, make etc. and other good programs that are not selected by a Default installation. Greg P.S. To install O'caml you might still need to manually install some packages not found under Cygwin (see O'caml Readme and Install files). But it can be done, I installed O'caml on my system some time ago. x On Sun, 11 Apr 2004, Mary Michael wrote: Hello, This is Mary very new to CYGwin. I have installed cygwin in Windows XP.

into the file but not move into. I find that quite weird. Here is what

$ xdvi file.dvi

Re: Following on old threads
FYI, the number in the archives is not necessarily the same as the number that you'd use to retrieve via email. The software that we run on sources.redhat.com aka cygwin.com is ezmlm. If there are more advanced questions on using ezmlm, then a web search would unearth some documentation. cgf If you mean that the message number in the archives (e.g., 00229 from http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-03/msg00229.html) is not the one you use, then yes, that's absolutely true. If, however, the number in the Return-Path header of a Cygwin list message is not the number that you'd use to retrieve that message, then I've completely misunderstood what ezmlm documentation I've read. I know that with sublists present, the sequence numbers may be different, but, IIUC, the Cygwin lists don't utilize the sublist mechanism. Also, some systems may strip out the Return-Path header, but if it's present, it should provide the right message number, right? I could retrieve ANY message I wanted with that number, my problem was that it looked like I started a new thread for a 6 months old when I wanted to follow up on it (Seems like that's not trully possible once the message is from a different month).

Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] New package: setsid-0.0-3
Under my 'CYGWIN_NT-5.1 1.5.7(0.109/3/2) i686' doing for example: setsid ls -R / would still block the console window (mostly for as long as ls runs). IMO by redirecting only stdin to /dev/null one gets a setsid functionality closer to how setsid works under Linux and there is no difference concerning the ability to close the console window. (It's true that by not redirecting stdin, console window can only be killed) Wouldn't then be better to redirect only stdin? Are things different under Win9x/Me? (I don't see the point for having stderr and stdout redirected also. (for symmetry maybe)) Apologies if what I am suggesting is stupid. Greg - Original Message - From: Corinna Vinschen This new package contains a tiny but handy tool called `setsid'. It's the command line version of the system call setsid(2) and is also available on a bunch of Linux distros. Basically it allows to call an application, say `sleep', like this: setsid sleep 10 `setsid' forks and detaches from the controlling terminal and so the inferior application will not be attached to the terminal as well. Or, to make it short, you can start an application as above and immediately close the Windows console window while that application keeps running. On Cygwin, stdin, stdout and stderr are automatically redirected to /dev/null if they are connected to the tty (Otherwise closing the Windows console window wouldn't succeed). If you want to keep the output, redirect on the command line, e.g. setsid ls -l ls.out To update your installation, click on the Install Cygwin now link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Once you've downloaded setup.exe, run it and select Utils and then click on the appropriate field until the announced version number appears if it is not displayed already.

How can one follow on an old thread which one doesn't have in his/her mailbox? Thanks, Greg Hmm, didn't you just ask about that? You locate the thread in the archives, look at the Raw text of the message you'd like to reply to, figure out its number (say, 89201), then send mail to cygwin-get.89201 at cygwin dot com. You should get a digest of one message (a message that has another message as an attachment). Most mail clients will then allow you to reply to the attached message. Or you can actually save the raw I did that. text of the message (with some tweaking) and use any mbox-compliant mailer to reply to it (see http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-05/msg01370.html for details). Note that in lists archived on a monthly basis (such as this one), the archives won't keep track of threads referencing messages from previous months (e.g., if you replied now to some message from January, the list archives won't show the References or Follow-Ups links for your message). However, it's still recommended to reply to older threads rather than start the discussion anew, as other threaded mail or news readers may not have the above limitation. Igor OK, I got it, the message I wanted to follow was more than 1 month old. Nice as usual.

Re: what's the software for making slide under cygwin, please?
You can use LaTeX for that. There are different packages depending on what kind of slides you want to make. (here some I know of: prosper, beamer, seminar, slides, etc.) Some of them take advantage of the powerful presentation features of Adobe PDF (about which I think many of us 'Windows also' people don't know at all).

Re: what's the software for making slide under cygwin, please?
PLEASE, configure your email client not to show email addresses in reply!!! (or if you can't take this off list) I work with xemacs (under cygwin) and yap (I can give you nice pointers on how to configure them so that you can get real WYSIWYG). I don't like Lyx, LaTeX is so nice and intuitive that IMHO you don't need something like that to stand in the way (I don't think LyX would even work with slides but maybe latest versions are different from what I know LyX to be). Look, I try to set up a group for help, discussion, etc. about (La)Tex under cygwin and Windows. If you join in you will automatically get all those pointers on how to set this up. The group is found at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wintex/ (you need to have or create a Yahoo account to join) IMO no commercial package can come even nearer to what you can get with cygwin and miktex and all the other packages I mention in the document you can get when you join. Greg You wrote on 3/1/2004 11:27 PM: Dear Greg, Thanks for the reply.

Randall, I agree with you. Maybe the master wants to take notice.

It's inherently error prone, will never be done anywhere near thoroughly enough and properly is a responsibility of the list software. IMO, of course.

Re: Issue with rxvt
I am just guessing here, but I might be right (You may check with rxvt source code and/or 'man rxvt', I no time and don't use it). Without '-e bash', rxvt calls the much simpler, scaled-down 'ash' which is not able to understand more advanced terminal control escape sequences but bash is. And see to it that '- e bash' is always the last on command line (if you give rxvt other options, that's how xterm behaves I guess rxvt follows that too) Glad it helps, Greg Jonathan E.

Re: XEmacs and hot laptops
Yes it's true with the stuff I am doing xemacs uses the processor heavyly (according to task manager).

Cygwin Shell Here
In Windows Explorer I want to add a CYGWIN Shell context menu option on file system folders, giving me a quick way to open a Cygwin window pointing at the selected folder.
