Re: [CFT] libtool on nix-cygwin cross, with wine
What's the [CFT] stand for? Call For Test? Are you requesting test volunteers? On Tue, 24 Feb 2009 00:01:19 -0500 Charles Wilson wrote: The most recent release of libtool (2.2.7a-1 for cygwin-1.5, and 2.2.7a-10 for cygwin-1.7) ought to support cross builds at least as well as libtool-1.5 did. Note that in *ordinary* cross builds (SomeBUILD - SomeHOST) you can't run the $host executables on the $build machine -- but you can still *build* them. That kind of thing has (hopefully) always worked, and still works, for -cygwin crosses. However, under certain conditions, it USED to be possible to run the $host (cygwin) executables on the $build machine, provided $build's CPU was x86, and $build had wine installed, and $build was running linux with the 'binfmt' kernel extension, and there was a cygwin installation in the wine arena, etc, etc. /That/ has been broken for about a year, due to a change in how wrapper executables are handled by libtool in libtool-2.2.2 and above. 1 == See, in the ANCIENT days, there was a wrapper script. When you built an executable for $host=cygwin, libtool would create myprog (a wrapper script) .libs/myprog.exe (the actual exe) The wrapper script would set $PATH and various other environment variables so that the EXE would be able to find its (as yet uninstalled) DLLs, and then it would launch the EXE. Obviously, scripts are not bound to any specific platform, so $build has no problem running the script. So as long as $build could execute EXE (via wine, etc), the the wrapper/EXE combo worked fine. Why'd we change it? Well, there IS one little problem with that scheme: the Makefile rule for building the EXE looks like this: ./my_prog$EXEEXT: my_prog.o stuff ... some libtool commands ... But libtool doesn't create ./my_prog$EXEEXT -- it creates a wrapper named ./my_prog with NO $EXEEXT. So make always believes that the executable must be rebuilt. 'make' - go link the exe. 'make check' - 'go link the exe again'. 'make install' - go link the exe. Very annoying. 2 == So, in the OLD days, we had a wrapper executable AND a wrapper script: my_prog.exe (not the real exe; just a wrapper exe) my_prog (the wrapper script) .libs/my_prog.exe (the real exe) The way this scheme worked was: (a) the wrapper exe would launch the wrapper script, (b) the wrapper script would set $PATH and such, and then (c) launch the real exe. This worked pretty well -- and was fairly transparent to cross builders: they'd try to run 'my_prog' (not my_prog.exe, because who types blahblah.EXE on unix?). But, my_prog is a shell script, and it Just Works(tm) like it did in the ANCIENT days. So cross-builders were happy -- they just ignored that wrapper exe (and, incidentally, never tested it...) So, what was wrong with this? Did we fix something that wasn't broken? Well, not exactly. About three years ago, cygwin added a new feature: you could set the 'transparent_exe' option in the CYGWIN variable. Then, you could pretend you were even more unixy: files which end in .exe to be used by appropriate functions when an input filename is specified with no extension. That is, you say spawn(foo) and if foo.exe exists, then cygwin will turn that in to spawn(foo.exe). So...what if I have foo.exe AND foo, and a really really want to spawn(foo) -- NOT spawn(foo.exe). Say, for instance: my_foo.exe my_foo Uh...don't do that. See, transparent_exe caused all KINDS of pain for libtool -- cygwin (and libtool) got really confused by the situation. However, as long as transparent_exe was just an option, we were ok though: you just had to follow some rules: 1) if transparent_exe, then do not put files that differ only in .exe-extension in the same directory 2) since libtool does this, do not use libtool and transparent_exe together. Not the greatest situation, but we lived with it. Backgrounders: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-03/msg00148.html http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2006-03/msg00028.html http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2007-04/msg00543.html But then, along comes cygwin-1.7...in which 'transparent_exe' will be the default behavior. Oops. Don't use libtool and cygwin-1.7 is not a rule we can live with. So, (and this is the part that broke the cross-builders), we changed libtool's behavior... 3 == About two years ago, for $host cygwin/mingw, libtool was modified to no longer put a wrapper *script* in the build dir. Instead, it put an uglify-named version of it in .libs: my_prog.exe (not the real exe; just a wrapper exe) .libs/my_prog_ltshwrapper(the wrapper script #1) .libs/my_prog_ltshwrapperTMP (the wrapper script #2) .libs/my_prog.exe (the real exe) That way, no more 'transparent_exe' clashes. BUT, now the poor cross-builders have no wrapper script to execute. They have to

The virtual set size goes to 450megabytes That's a new one actually. Can you reproduce it? If it's not too much bother, any details about the bug and your system would be appreciated. The ~/.minttyrc file might be helpful too. It's winxp with latest patches and I think I have latest cygwin. Although I'm not certain of that. After killing it it leaves behind a bash.exe which also has to be killed. Yep, if it crashes, the child process won't get killed.

Re: current favorite terminal?
Nope, xterm no good. Needs an X server.

There aren't a lot of options in the distro, but Cygwin Ports does include konsole, xfce4-terminal, and gnome-terminal. Well sounds like I'd have to take all the baggage that goes along with any one of those. I just want a full-featured term app. without all the other extras.

X server causing IE lockups
Recently started using the Xserver and have issues now with IE. IE will become unresponsive. When I kill the xserver IE becomes responsive again. I also have issues with any vncclient sessions I'm running. The cut-n-paste buffers stop working in vnc. Vnc doesn't require the xserver. It's not a showstopper because I can kill the xserver and get expected behavior back. Is this a known issue/limitation? This is on winxp. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
