True, you don't get graphical tabs, and you have to type a key
sequence to get a list of tabs (control-a w),
Actually, with a little setup in your .screenrc, that's not true. I
have mine
set up to always show the list of tabs on the bottom line, with the
current tab
highlighted. You have to give up one line for that, but it's well worth
it IMO.
Here's the .screenrc magic that does this for me:
# caption bar at bottom:
caption always '%-Lw%{.kG} %n%f %t %{-}%+Lw'
Reading and writing this isn't too fun, but it is fully documented in
the info
file.

Is it fairly easy to install it on a thumb drive?

RE: HELP REQUIRED: Unexpected end of file.
I'm betting it is the Windoze vs. Unix line endings. CRLF vs LF. I've
found that using Windoze version of vim makes it easy to see and fix
line ending problems with files.

I am facing severe problems while porting some of the audio

This is the place where i am getting the error

This particular code works fine in linux.
I had gone through the mailing list about the problems faced while
using the Cygwin. I couldnt find proper solutions for my problem. I
did use d2u and used almost all the solutions presented by various
people, still the problem exists. Can someone help me out in this
regard.

RE: Using curses with -mno-cygwin
I'd bet a shiny new quarter that cygwin supports linking to the ncurses library. Both aalib (aafire) and mc (Midnight Commander) work just fine, which indicates that curses is a go. ncurses(3X) ncurses(3X) NAME ncurses - CRT screen handling and optimization package SYNOPSIS #include curses.h DESCRIPTION The ncurses library routines give the user a terminal-independent method of updating character screens with reasonable optimization. This implementation is ``new curses'' (ncurses) and is the approved replacement for 4.4BSD classic curses, which has been discontinued. This describes ncurses version 5.5 (patch 20061104).

Is it possible to do this with Cygwin? MinGW supports curses, and Cygwin supports MinGW. It looks like curses is gone once I pass -mno-cygwin to gcc. Is this intentional? To generalize your question, you're asking if the cygwin version of something is unavailable when you use an option called -mno-cygwin. I'd think that the option would be self-documenting in this case but, the answer is Yes, it's intentional. If MinGW supports curses then you probably should be using MinGW if you don't want to have your application rely on the Cygwin DLL. cgf -- 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: Re: Webdav cadaver: script possible?
I'm a unix sysadmin/oracle DBA. For me, Expect is the killer app of Cygwin, even over the X server. Get the O'Reilly Expect book by Don Libes. It is a treasure trove of Unix knowledge as well as Expcect/TCL. Check out the autoexpect script. You may have to find it somewhere to install it into the Cygwin distro, but it records your keystrokes and creates a primitive expect script to redo the steps. You can take the basic script and edit it to ensure it is efficient and robust. Expect scripting requires that you understand the interactive interaction you are trying to automate and it requires that you learn some of the magic of globs and regular expressions. There are some great debug flags that will show you exactly what the interpreter is thinking.

Subject: How to get more than one X-window?
I did the install of Cygwin a couple days ago but have been fumbling
around trying to get more than one X-windows session opened on the
screen. I will open Cygwin (which loads a bash shell) and then run
xwin -query hostname to get a login session on that host (on the
particular host to which I am currently connecting, I get logged in
under KDE). I then want another X-window opened to another host. I
work on several hosts at a time. If it were just the one host, I can
open xterms inside the one X-windows session shown on my Windows host.
When, in a bash shell, I try to run another xwin -query
otherhostname, a bunch of text pops up which basically tells me that
the X server is already running. Well, yeah, it got started by the
first xwin command. Doesn't the Cygwin X-server handle more than one X
session at a time?
I'm actually used to using Reflection X or Exceed X to connect to Unix
hosts from my Windows box but I don't have those available at some
locations and they said to use Cygwin (because it was free).

Using ssh from a remote machine I log onto a Windows 2000 server which is running a freshly installed cygwin. The recommended settings were used in the installation and in addition to the defaults, a few extra packages were installed. (Although I couldn't find ntpd anywhere...:) On my local (Linux) box I get a bash prompt from the W2k server: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ On the W2k server there are two physical devices in a simple RAID array arranged as one logical drive. I want to back up some files from one of the Windows directories on this logical drive into a file e.g. in the Administrator account's cygwin /home directory located on the same logical device. Later, when I have the file, I will copy it to a remote machine. To create the file I will use tar. A simple tar command works when it is run from the Administrator's command line (either in the foreground or the background) but fails when run from the Administrator account's crontab. When run from the command line the job works whether gzip compression is used or not, and when run from the crontab it fails also whether compression is used or not, so I don't think it's anything to do with pipes and DOS/Unix line endings. It looks like I'm missing something here. What is it?

RE: sed: 4.1.5 breaks libtool generation
By Gawk! You're right! Sed broke one on my little scripts, but there is an easy work around. It isn't really sed so much as white space confusion. -Original Message- From: Igor Peshansky [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 21, 2006 11:47 AM To: Stepp, Charles Cc: cygwin@cygwin.com Subject: RE: sed: 4.1.5 breaks libtool generation http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#TOFU reformatted.

RE: cygdrive flags / hiding cygdrive prefix directory (the old behavior)
Symlink? ln -s /cygdrive/c /c Charles Stepp Unix SA CYGWIN ROCKS!! -Original Message- From: kralius [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 13, 2006 11:26 PM To: cygwin@cygwin.com Subject: Re: cygdrive flags / hiding cygdrive prefix directory (the old behavior) Thanks for the reply. The only mention of cygdrive flags in the registry that i could find was at least 3 years old and got a reply to the effect of don't mess with the registry! (*sigh*) Which apparently didn't serve as a clue? The hint was written before the always-visible cygdrive ..feature.. came into play, so i figured it was worth asking again. Aside from that, though, notions like hands off and not possible strike me as a little bit out-of-place for cygwin, i have to admit. I imagine many of its users (like myself) are interested in how it works, and in playing around with it (even at the risk of breaking things). I'd certainly welcome getting pointed in the right direction to something like the bit definitions for cygdrive flags in the source... But, assuming cygdrive flags has nothing to do with the visibility issue, (it looks like it happened to /proc and others at the same time,) does anyone know/remember where the change was made to make these special directories visible?

This was actually the old behavior in cygwin, but at some point it changed to become visible. The cygwin installer now also creates a real directory on the windows file system called cygdrive, but even if I delete this or change the cygdrive prefix to something non-default (like /mnt), it will still show up (with ls, find, etc.). For a while, i suspected this had something to do with the cygdrive flags parameter (in the registry under ...\cygwin\mounts v2 ), but i'm having no success playing with that now, and the cygwin faq and mailing list archives are all very quiet about the subject. The only mention of cygdrive flags in the registry that i could find was at least 3 years old and got a reply to the effect of don't mess with the registry! (*sigh*) Which apparently didn't serve as a clue? Does anyone have an idea how to get the old behavior back of hiding the cydrive prefix directory? And, whether or not it is related, does anyone know how the cygdrive flags parameter is defined, what options can be set with it, etc. ? The cygdrive prefix is controlled with the mount program. Anything that it is possible to do with it is mentioned there. It is not possible to hide it currently. As you have discovered, the cygdrive parameter isn't there for you to play with via regedit. It is really intended to be manipulated with the mount command. cgf -- 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/
Problems with cygwin, expect and ssh
I have found some interesting behavior regarding the cygwin expect/ssh
problem. I used the little expect script
That Corinna created. It seemed to not see the prompt for the password
from the spawned ssh, so it just timed out. But, when I redirect the
stderr to /dev/null, it behaves correctly. Perhaps ssh is spitting some
spurious bytes to stderr that are causing the expect pattern to not
match:
GOOD:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~
$ ./sshtest 2/dev/null
spawn ssh -t 10.65.16.41
Before expect for assword:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: Found assword:
Before send of password
After send of password
