Re: STARTXWIN.BAT Hanging Under Win2KPro

Re: Cygwin installing too much stuff
Gary R. Van Sickle wrote: Setup by default tries to bring any already-installed package up/back to the curr version. Not only does it update old stuff, but if you have any exp releases installed, it'll actually try to downgrade them back to curr. Yeah, that's not too cool. If you want to avoid that (and since I often use exp stuff, I often do), use this procedure, and never be surprised again: I've been caught by that one... - Select the new package(s) you want to install in the package chooser. I usually use the Full view. - Once you're done, switch to the Partial view. This will show you what is going to be downloaded and installed. Deselect anything you don't want up/downgraded (i.e. swith the entry in the New column to Keep) or installed (i.e. switch it to Skip). - Next away and let setup do its work. Make sure you don't screw things up though; if you accidentally turn off a package's prerequistes, you're likely to have a mysteriously broken installation. ...and here's the problem: if I've installed a exp package(s), I'm not always sure what dependencies it installs (maybe that's just sloppiness/inattention on my part). Then when I want to update something else and prevent setup from downgrading my exp package(s) to current, I'm never quite confident that I'm not going to break something by keeping/not keeping some dependent package. To give an example, I have installed the exp gcc 3.4.1 and mingw-gcc 20040822 packages. Now I see I have libtool-devel 1.9f_20041024 installed, whreas setup wants to change that to 1.5.10. I suspect, but am not sure, that this is a dependancy of my exp gcc and should therefore keep the current version. Is there a safe way to find out? -- Lionel B -- 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/
Re: Cygwin installing too much stuff
Brian Dessent wrote: Lionel B wrote: /.../ If you want to keep one or more packages at Exp versions this is the method I use: First thing you do after running setup each time, switch to partial. You will see a combination of Exp packages that setup wants to downgrade to Curr, mixed with any normal packages that you're not using Exp versions of that need upgrading. For all the packages that you are using Exp versions, just toggle them back to Keep, and then continue with setup as normal. It's not very elegent, but most of the time there's not more than a small number of Exp packages so it's pretty easy just to switch them all back to Keep first thing. After a couple of times it becomes habit because it's the same packages each time. Yes, that's pretty much what I do now... so I guess I'm not missing anything obvious. Plan B is to use Exp versions of *everything*, in which case you just use the Exp radio button each time. But I wouldn't necessarily recommend that. Too scary. (And yes, setup could be a lot more intuitive about all this... *sigh*) Not even a mother could love it ;-) Cheers, -- Lionel B -- 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/

Not sure about clapack, but I have successfully compiled ATLAS (http://math-atlas.sourceforge.net/) - which includes a subset of the LAPACK routines and supplies a C interface - under Cygwin. Building the libraries was pretty much a no-brainer and the routines run like blazes. Oh, and it took about a day to build (with timing calculations) on a Quad 2.8GHz Xeon with 1Gb RAM... so patience may be required. -- Lionel B -- 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/
High resolution process timing
Greetings, Is it possible in Cygwin (W2k, Pentium 4, gcc 3.3.3) to access a higher resolution (or perhaps I mean granularity) process CPU timer than the libc clock() call? I am finding clock() inadequate for some code benchmarking. [It is not clear to me whether this is indeed a Cygwin issue, or rather a Windows issue and therefore OT here - apologies if so]. Having browsed the archives, it seems that it may well be possible to access high-resolution *system* timers (perhaps using NT API calls to QueryPerformanceCounter() family), but I can see no way to achieve per-process timing this way. Any pointers appreciated, -- Lionel B ___ALL-NEW Yahoo!

Any pointers appreciated, Search google for windows high resolution timer (no quotes) and that will probably give some answers. Been there, done that. Windows high-res timers seem to boil down to QueryPerformanceCounter(), QueryPerformanceFrequency(), which measure time used by *all* (including system) processes. This is no good to me. -- Lionel B ___ALL-NEW Yahoo!

bash: cat ... fails with cat: -: Permission denied
Greetings, This problem appears to have surfaced in a previous thread on this list (see http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2003-07/msg01101.html) but no satisfactory resolution was offered then. The problem arises with bash but not with sh on our cygwin installation: $ bash -c cat EOF cat: -: Permission denied yet: $ sh -c cat EOF succeeds. This causes problems particularly insofar as many configure scripts insist on using bash. Please find attached cygcheck output for our cygwin installation.
