perl (why 64int on 32int machine)
I just downloaded and tried to build and install Perl's Database Interface, DBI (yes the hard way, using Marefile.PL). Configure completed fine, but make fails with: " make gcc-4 -c-DPERL_USE_SAFE_PUTENV -U__STRICT_ANSI__ -g -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -fstack-protector -DUSEIMPORTLIB -O3 -DVERSION=\"1.623\" -DXS_VERSION=\"1.623\" "-I/usr/lib/perl5/5.14/i686-cygwin-threads-64int/CORE" -W -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wbad-function-cast -Wno-comment -Wno-sign-compare -Wno-cast-qual -Wmissing-noreturn -Wno-unused-parameter Perl.c /bin/sh: gcc-4: command not found Makefile:625: recipe for target `Perl.o' failed" The above also mentions "/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.14/i686-cygwin-threads-64int" which I do have on my system. I did not select it and I don't have a 64 bit system. Would this indicate a setup ini problem for perl? Erroneously its using "gcc-4" for the compiler which wont be found.

PostgreSQL not working from start
This is apparently a common problem. I' m trying to install and get PostgreSQL up and running. Yes, CYGWIN, the environment variable is set to "server" and file/dir permissions are set for the user and have r/w permissions. No matter if I use: initdb or pg_ctl initdb -D $DBDIR -l $DB_ADMINLOG -o "-X $XLOGDIR -U $DB_OWNER" No database is initialized and the "Bad system call" messages in a downward counting loop of shared_buffers appears on the screen. ending with] ...creating configuration files ... ok creating template1 database in /usr/local/share/db-datadir/base/1 ... child process was terminated by signal 12: Bad system call initdb: removing contents of data directory "/usr/local/share/db-datadir" initdb: removing contents of transaction log directory "/usr/local/share/db-logdir" --- Then tried to use pg_ctl start -D $DBDIR -l $DB_ADMINLOG to get the server up and it failed (it did say it was looking in $DBDIR for the config file which makes, sense as initdb failed and deletes the contents it just made) Still should be able to start the server, I think, so tried $ pg_ctl start - server starting It says server starting. But, no server was started or if it did it did in its infancy, but no event logs show a service being started. What are steps to use to get this database up and running. Would not using pg_ctl or init_db and just starting a server and create by hand a new database be easier an workable, or if now who to make them work or fix them.? -- 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

Re: Unwanted texlive invasion
In my humble opinion cygwin should be open to improvement and, we should keep cygwin's purpose as a base system, which is as full, and as easy, and as close to a *nix environment as possible.

Nonsense. cygwin does behave, has behaved, and should operate in as should as a base for *nix environment, applications, and tools. Forcing such minutiae as, what goes where in PATH, is not an elegant solution.

Yes, it would do the job. Note that 'mktexslr' is not a TexLive function, at least not in my setup. Assuming that mktexslr has been developed properly it will find the TexLive required code since it is in PATH, else it would print a 'req'd name.xxx not found. Then the user can do what has to be done. Now the real issue was flagged by the texlive dependency, but the main issue is all dependencies in general and how to handle them the best. We shouldn't be myoptic, but look to solutions that would cover all cases, not just a single case.

On the contrary we make cygwin easy to use and free to users to customize their system. I suppose you're worried that could cause a lot of problems, which it could if applied naively, but that would be the user's problem and such features could easy display a warning, and a user at his own disgression could set an option to not display the warning every time and carry on setup processing just as the user chose. But maybe something like the Debian "equivs" > facility would be useful (see http://www.tug.org/texlive/debian.html for a > discussion of this in the context of TeX Live). This might be a good idea.

Re: Unwanted texlive invasion
I don't agree. The solution should not be to install an unnecessary package and waste space and complicate by having to check order in the PATH variable. It would be better that a.) installation scripts check for the existence of the necessary commands first and not brute force the installation or warning that the cygwin port of it be installed. It may also be desirable, to have setup use a list of packages to NOT install, regardless of any dependencies. Maintaining that list would be the site's administistrator's task. I also have the problem of setup always trying to install texlive, when I already have the native version, and it's a pain to have to continually go in and select [skip] for each one and the select yes I don't want these, every time I want to update other packages.

Re: multiwindow X11 and Emacs
Sorry about that. I was more making the point that it's not a cygwin port of emac's fault. I also have this problem using emacs built locally from the original gnu emacs source code. And also from the cygwin port. C-z puts emacs off the screen, but when its re-displayed the focus doesn't come back into the editting buffer. I have to first click on any ol option on the top menu, and it re-activiates something that enable editting back in the buffer. environment:putty (also built from original source code) This problem / hanging does not occur when emacs has been moved off the screen by clicking on the [-] tab in the upper right side of the emacs frame. Can you duplicate this on your system? C-Z# then [SHIFT][TAB] back to emacs to get it back up on the screen. It should be frozen then. Workaround, click on [File] or something and then escape from it and you can work in the normal buffer.

TexLive's ConTeXt runtime error..
TeXLive Version: 2012 ("--all" updated to August 20th, 2012)
Downloaded from: REPOSITORY="http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet";
Yes, this is the wild verison. ConTeXt changes very rapidly and I
fancy following and testing those changes. Thanks to cygwin for
allowing me to do that.
The attempted command which ends in an error is:
texexec -o pdf 659-water-stations.tex
This results in: "PANIC: unprotected error in call to Lua API
(zlib library version does not match -
header: 1.2.5, library: 1.2.7)"
However /usr/include/zlib.h is for version 1.2.7, not the 1.2.5
mentioned in the error message. Any idea of how to fix this, so I
can run ConTexT?
Thanks for any and all help.

Re: how to install libtoolize
Though I am building a different package, I have the same problem as mentioned below. The libtool package downloaded is 46 bytes (effectively null) and get stashed into the _obsolete folder without ever getting installed. Another problem just noticed is that the setup process is appending a "/" character onto the end of the cygwin directory name on a mirror. e.g. http%3a%2f%2fftp.daum.net%2fcygwin%2f the %2f above. this creates a directory with the same name. Names shouldn't have "/", ok %2f in them in my opinion and it wasn't like this before.

Whether this causes a problem or now I can't say, but I like to keep my downloaded files in the same directory and this is now created a new one with a dangerous name (i.e. an explicit '/' from the %2f.

Lou, yes, you can run emacs in cygwin in either of two modes, which emacs figures out by itself.

cygcheck output
I just wanted a clarification of the meaning that's not quite clear to me in the output that I got from cygcheck. For example the next two lines. It says "Empty package atk-runtime" , but below it shows atk-runtime 1.10.3-1 as OK. The difference between "Empty" and "OK" is what I am concerned about. Empty package atk-runtime atk-runtime 1.10.3-1 OK Thanks, Henman -- 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: [cygrunsrv] problem starting exim as service
Peaty, I had the same problem. And I agree that cygrunsrv should tell us correctly whether or not exim is running. In fact exim does get set to run as a daemon on boot up. cygrunsrv -L (or whatever the list) processes option will not show you this. I believe that it should show this process as running (but some say that exim detaches itself and so cygrunsrv can't know about it).. if would know if it did a process check, but that's another matter.. So you may be trying to start exim when it is already running. When you start up get into a cygwin terminal and type ps -aW | grep exim That fact was that exim was running. Also I had priviledge problems that I got around with chmod. Henman -- On 3/12/07, Peatey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Success! your showing me about cygcheck solved it.

Re: cygrunsrv problem
Brian, thanks for the informative explanation about cygrunsrv and demon processes. On 2/2/07, Brian Dessent <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Wynfield Henman wrote: > The "cygrunsrv -Q " definitely is buggy to me. > When I started up my system "privoxy" is indeed up and running as it should be. > > But, when I do a cygrunsrv -Q it shows that the service is stopped, > yet it isn't. There's no bug here, just some misunderstanding on your part. Privoxy detaches and demonizes on its own when you start it. Cygrunsrv is meant to be used with programs that do not detach themselves. That is why you must launch things such as "cron -D" and so on to tell it not to demonize itself. If the launched program demonizes itself then cygrunsrv has no way to monitor when it has stopped, and it thinks the binary has terminated immediately after starting. Thus cygrunsrv itself terminates and tells the system that the service has stopped, even though the spawned privoxy binary might still be running, but the service itself (which is cygrunsrv) is not actually running. You can use the windows built-in "sc" command to verify that the service isn't actually running, type "sc query privoxy" and it should agree with whatever cygrunsrv -Q says. If you want this to work you need to specify whatever option privoxy uses to tell it not to detach.

I am writing to report a bug in "cygrunsrv" cygrunsrv successfully installed my privoxy daemon service to be ran on each power up / restart. I was happy to find out..

Re: Eliminating -mno-cygwin from gcc?
I for one am not adverse to your proposition of separating the ming (mno-cygwin) functionality into its own script or program. This would reduce cygwin gcc's complexity and make it easier to port to cygwin and hopefully, mean nearer gcc versions faster. And by branching off the mno-cygwin, it can be delevoped and maintained at its own pace. As mentioned it will caused some problems with existing build scripts I've written, but in time the bifricated situation will trickle down to be normal in time, I should think.

Re: Opening a file with a Windows App which is not in Windows File Association
Thanks for the info.
I use zsh suffix aliases, so I don't need to worry about "MS Windows"
file associations. If you use zsh and set suffix aliases in your zsh
startup file, such as ~/.zshenv
Then all you have to do to view you file is
$ logo.jpg
#zsh will see the jpg suffix and find the application that you
associated with it in your ~/.zshenv file. This is to me more
portable, in that I don't have to rely on "MS's" hash or data
structures...
You would need a function to as you kindly showed to change to an
explicitly different application (picture studio in your example.).

Ditto for DLLs. There is no such thing as shared libraries in the traditional UNIX sense on Windows. The only "incompatibilities" between Cygwin built libs/DLLs and MS's are: 1. References to C++ in libs/DLLs built in one won't be resolved in the other (this is true when mixing and matching C++ object code from any compiler). This is not a problem for C code. 2.

I saw the reference to "gpgme" with some misleading (to me) version number, such as 1.1.2, tacked on and said it was in ...somewhere like ../cygwin/ports. .. The the real version number is 1.0.3 for the latest stable, but I guess cygwin rules/convention requires a different numbering system??? Hearing that gpgme has a port I executed setup.exe and searched for gpgme, but it is not there (or I can't find it alphabetically). Any notions? -- 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/

How to obtain a patch for viewing
Yaakov mentioned "A fix for this is part of ports/apps/imagemagick/ImageMagick-6.2.9.8-1.src.patch; I don't think it's perl's fault, but rather the package's for putting a link library in LDFLAGS instead of LIBS." How can I get the patch, mentioned above, i.e., "ports/apps/imagemagick/ImageMagick-6.2.9.8-1.src.patch" for studying?

Re: emacs 21.3.50.1 and cc-mode
William Xue, do you get this problem when you open up a new cpp file? e.g. $ emacs new-file.cpp Your are right you don't need X-windows. Emacs will detect if its in an X-win or not and choose the console interface if not. Maybe try to: (1) reinstall it (2) uninstall and try the 21.12.13 or previous version (3) try building it from scratch. The autoconfig and other tools will configure it for your system. etc... configure using the " --without-x" if you don't want it to handle x-windows at all.. (4) if you were going to do this (build from source) you might as well try the latest emacs Darel Henman P.S. Since I am using GNU Emacs 22.0.50.1, built from cvs, I can't duplicate your environment.

Re: New cygwin verson breaks emacs
The problem only occurs when trying to run emacs from xterm. So only when X-Windows functions or related GTK functions are needed. But, since the error message is " ***MEMORY-ERROR***: emacs[3060]: GSlice: failed to allocate 504 bytes". I will look further into it.If anyone has any clues please let me know. I would think that the function is "GSlice", but I have no idea what or where that is. Have there been any major changes in Xwin and GTK related programs that might have this affect.

New cygwin verson breaks emacs
This happened to a perfectly good pre-cygwin update emacs. This also happened after a new rebuild of emacs with the new cygwin system. ***MEMORY-ERROR***: emacs[3060]: GSlice: failed to allocate 504 bytes (alignment: 512): Function not implemented My cygwin information is given as: CYGWIN_NT-5.1 1.5.21(0.156/4/2) 2006-07-23 20:11 Any other people out there with emacs problems GNU Emacs 22.0.50.1 Thanks for any feedback or advice -- 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: Running dselect
I downloaded, ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/gdb/snapshots/branch/gdb-6.4.91.20060615.tar.bz2 and built it successfully in the cygwin environment and with cygwin tools. But, the resulting binary seems to have bugs in it either something to do with the termainal or what I'm not sure as it just crashes. Any ideas on how to fix this.. I just want a more up to date debugger to use with cygwin1.dll.-20060614.dll.bz2 which I moved to /bin/cygwin1.dll after renaminig the original.

Re: debug information
Brian, thanks for the lead and helpfull information regarding SIGSEGV. Henman On 6/2/06, Brian Dessent <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ... Please search the archives for the many recent threads on this topic. What you are seeing is not an actual SIGSEGV, it is a bug/limitation in gdb related to how Cygwin works internally.

If anyone would give me a lead as to how to get a more meaningful backtrace from gdb, I would appreciate it.

Re: stdio.h
1.) Any idea of when a release of cygwin will be made of the "current versions" contiaining the _GNU_SOURCE to avoid collision with old-style declarations? Thank you all for the assistance .

stdio.h
I have run into problems with getline being defined in stdio.h I understand that a GNU system has it defined there but not any other system. Please look into where "getline" should be defined in stdio.h or not.
