Hi folks, It would be nice if the postings to the Cygwin mailing lists contain a link to reply to the posting when these articles are viewed via a web browser via URL http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-12/ It would obviate cutting and pasting. Thanks, Joe P.S: has anyone experienced the problems I have posted about setup.exe on Win2K Professional? -- 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/
Re: Latest setup.exe
I tried the beta version Max suggested and it also exhibits the same behaviour on my win2k laptop; i.e. sucks up huge mem (depletes VM), and yet after more than 1 hour of running, it still says 1% of base-files 1.1-1 is installed. The total progress meter shows only about a sliver of progress :) Am running win2K with latest updates (service pack 3). Also, I have been updating my cygwin installation for over a year now, and this is the first time I have encountered this problem. Joe Max Bowsher wrote: Please keep replies on list! Joseph I.

I suspect the it is a memory leak problem. The machine has 512M sdram and a 40 gig HD, of which a max of 2048M is used for paging. Yet the setup.exe alone eats up all the VM pool!. Is there an older version of it that I can try?

Latest setup.exe
The latest setup.exe dies with the following error banner titled: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Error Runtime Error Program: C:\download\cygwin\setup.exe Abnormal Program termination This happens after about 1% of the packages have been installed. Also, there appears to be a huge allocation of mem that Win2K increased virtual space to 2 gig and the machine slows down so much as to be almost uselesss during the setup!

Compiliing lftp 2.6.2 on latest cygwin
Looks like the cygwin C library is looking for a symbol (probably in one of the Windows' DLL's), but is unresolved. How should the Makefile be modified to make this linkload work? /bin/sh ../libtool --silent --mode=link gcc -O2 -Wall -Wwrite-strings -Woverloa ded-virtual -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti -fno-implement-inlines -Winline -s -o lft p.exe -export-dynamic lftp.o complete.o lftp_rl.o libjobs.a libtasks.a -lreadli ne -lcurses ../lib/liblib.a -lintl -liconv -lssl -lcrypto /usr/lib/libcygwin.a(libcmain.o)(.text+0x81): undefined reference to `WinMain@16 ' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status Cheers, Joe -- 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/
Port of xlockmore-5.01.2 to latest Cygwin port of X11
I had to kludge it in order to make it compile correctly on Cygwin (on win2k). However, cygwin still does not properly support passwords, so xlock is unable to verify the password. This problem affects other programs that require password verification as well. Hopefully, xlockmore's maintaner will fix the configure script to recognize cygwin and generate the right #define's and #include's In particular, the files I had to change are: modes/dclock.c 903c903 extern long timezone; --- // extern long timezone; due to confilict with timezone def in time.h /modes/solitare.cc Changed every occurance of round(.. to myround(... because it was confilicting with round declaration in math.h xlock/logout.c 34a35 #include signal.h ./xlock/xlock.c 180a181,182 #define CYGWIN 2697c2699 #if defined( SYSV ) || defined( SVR4 ) || ( __VMS_VER = 7000 ) --- #if defined( SYSV ) || defined( SVR4 ) || ( __VMS_VER = 7000 ) || defined( CYGWIN ) 2744c2746 #if defined( SYSV ) || defined( SVR4 ) || ( __VMS_VER = 7000 ) --- #if defined( SYSV ) || defined( SVR4 ) || ( __VMS_VER = 7000 ) || defined( CYGWIN ) 3640c3642 #if defined( SYSV ) || defined( SVR4 ) || ( __VMS_VER = 7000 ) --- #if defined( SYSV ) || defined( SVR4 ) || ( __VMS_VER = 7000 ) || defined( CYGWIN ) 3708a3711 xmlock/Makefile 95c95 XMLOCKLIBS = -L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXpm -lXmu -lXm -lXt -lX11 --- XMLOCKLIBS = -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXpm -lXmu -lXm -lXt -lX11 -lSM -lICE
Cygwin X11
I am running latest Cygwin with X11 which were downloaded from programming.ccp14.ac.uk I am running on win2K with all the latest patches. After some time (I think about an hour or more) the Cygwin window in which I start X gets filled with this inifinitely repeating message: winShadowUpdateDDNL () - IDirectDrawSurface4_Blt () failed: 887601c2 Is this a known bug?
