It's where you define the domains that bind will serve. There are lots of details that can be gotten wrong. If you get certain specific ones wrong your bind server can be victimized into participating in DNS attacks. Why do you need to run a DNS server?

The next and what I expect to be the last configure error is now related to the Gnu Scientific Library (GSL) configure can't find gsl-config and indeed there is not any. and there is no gls-dev package on the cygwin site.

So, look for something like -lncurses or curses.h. The helpful bits in that file will be nearby. (And not necessarily *after* the matching line!)

Another issue comes to my mind: cygwin (like some Linux distributions) does not provide ncurses.h in /usr/include anymore but hides it in /usr/include/ncurses and /usr/include/ncursesw.

mintty functionality

The problem I'm encountering is that the applicatin that mintty is to run requires /usr/lib/lapack which is not in PATH when invoked from the desktop. I know I can do the windows thing to set a full microsoft windows PATH, but would prefer to keep it in the shortcut or in a mintty configuration file.

Re: mintty functionality
The normal way works and even
$ PATH=${PATH}: mintty cmd
The command line invokation is no problem.
But, I couldn't do with a desktop shortcut with something like:
mkshortcut -w /tmp -D -A -d Run orpie RPN calculater. -n Orpie RPN
Calculater -i /home/djh/icons/hp_calc.ico -a -p '100,150' -t 'Orpie
Calculater' -e /usr/bin/orpie /bin/mintty.exe
The above doesn't source my zsh startup files first. I see no reference
informat related to shells. I'm, just inoking an application direct.
Any ideas?

Re: where was mention of what creates NUL files?
I do not have the problem using emacs built on cygwin either.

Does anyone recall a mention of what in CygWin (or possibly Emacs) creates

Thanks,

This has been driving me nuts for years. Finally tracked it down.
These are created by emacs' man.el code when you get a man page.
Reproduce:
In emacs, do:
M-x man ret
enter anything, valid ('ls') or not
Now, you'll see a NUL file in the directory.
I can't reproduce this with Cygwin emacs. You must be using native
Windows emacs.
Root cause:
construction of the 'man' command that is passed to the shell includes:
(concat %s 2 null-device)
The variable `null-device' is platform specific and defaults to a pure-copy
of /dev/null which, apparently, becomes NUL on windows.
It is a defvar in files.el and 'set' again in dos-w32.el.
Resolution:
In your .emacs file, do:
(require 'dos-w32) ;; load this first to avoid it undo'ing the next line
(setq null-device c:/tmp/emacs-dev-null.txt) ;; set to anything
Just to be clear, users of Cygwin emacs should *not* do this.

Regardless it is cygwin related
I did not ask for native widows programming advice any more than cygwin uses win32-api. cygwin distributes the header files and I simply asked about linking, which is exactly what cygwin built programs do. I appreciate Corinna's providing a url to a possible point of source and which did response to my question about how we can get through, hopefully using cygwin as a gateway. I also, explicity stated that I did not want to have to use bios or direct windows unless there as no cygwin gateway API, but there must be else the c output and getchar functions would never work. cygwin should offer the ability for build programs can perform simple i.e., if you would give a cygwin specific method of outputing a character that doesn't involve c libs that would be fine and was also my main question and is related to cygwin.

Re: But it is cygwin related.
No Earnie. It wasn't about programming. Read and try to comprehend. cygwin seems to have a missing api in it or one it should have is missing. The cygwin.dll or possibly another cygwin dll shuffles i/o betwwen cygwin programs and MSWindows is not open to linkage (or is it) by assembly language programs. This should be a realitive easy thing to do. There are entry points in the dll'S for i/o, which is called from the assembled c programs. It should be even easier for an assembly program to directly link to those dlls. If it can not then it is missing. If it is not missing, where is it and where is it documented? This would be to cygwin and the cygwin community as a whole good. p.s. If you would like to learn about programming, it is off topic for this list, but I'd be happy to help you if you write directly.

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.

Re: Setup in infinite tight loop using 100% cpu resource
Thanks Achim and Larry for your responses and pointing out that setup.exe should be ran in a ms-windows console. But, another point I was making, is that in my opinion, setup.exe should not get into an infinite loop goobling up to 100% cpu usage, that setup.exe is out of control and indicates a design or coding flaw. So when ran with administrators priveledges, unexpected bad side effects might occur. Ideally, it would detect what ever is wrong and exit gracefully.

Re: $USER is not resolved in paths sometimes
Sorry, I copied all examples with the -w option which is wrong for converting
into a unix like pathname.
To convert to a unix pathname use the option -u
to convert to a windows pathname use -w
Run: cygpath --help
for more detals. and to get the output in the sell use $(...) or the ticks
``
with the command and all arguments inside.
I agree with Achim. Don't use Microsoft Windows paths.
Cygwin has a function called cygpath which is very handy to use to convert
paths and use in zsh and other shell scripts
In zsh, using zsh syntax, I use it like this:
Convert the first argument to a micrsoft window format pathname
winpath=$(cygpath -w $1)
or to convert a Windows formatted pathname to unix like do:
fname=$(cygpath -w ${windows-type-ifname})
a hardcoded filename would be

When I try to boot a VM using vagrant (which

$USER is not resolved to the real username.
Instead vboxmanage creates a new machinefolder

How could that be? Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

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. On Tue, Sep 25, 2012 at 2:20 PM, Ken Brown kbr...@cornell.edu wrote: . snipped 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. People who install programs that are not provided by Cygwin have to expect to set PATH appropriately, including checking the order of the paths. 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. A temporary work-around it is, but not a good final solution. 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. For the issue being discussed in this thread (the gnuplot dependency on texlive-collection-basic), the necessary command *is* /usr/bin/mktexlsr. Running the mktexlsr provided by the native TeX Live distribution will not do the job (which is to make the files installed in /usr/share/texmf-dist accessible to tex). 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. I believe we want cygwin to be a robust, easy to use, yet powerful tool. It may also be desirable, to have setup use a list of packages to NOT install, regardless of any dependencies. I don't think setup.exe should make it quite that easy for people to circumvent dependencies. 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 if this feature was added 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. I'm not familiar with it, but again it is desired to have a general solution for all depencies and not just Texlive based ones. As usual, it's easy to come up with ideas for enhancing setup.exe; but http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#SHTDI Yes, of course it takes someone and resources to implement it. But, ideas should be always welcome to those who are so valuable and do work on setup. It's improvements lately are extremely appreciate by me.

It's of course up to the gnuplot maintainer (Volker Zell) whether or not he wants to override it, but I can explain the rationale. gnuplot installs some files into /usr/share/texmf-dist. To make it possible for tex to find those files, the gnuplot postinstall script runs /usr/bin/mktexlsr. The latter is provided by texlive-collection-basic, so this package is required by gnuplot. Maybe you should just bite the bullet and install texlive. It won't interfere in any way with your native TeX Live installation, as long as you put the bin directory for the latter first in your path.

Re: Shell script loop runs out of memory
I will not address the memory management problem, if there is one here. I am addressing your method of determing a difference. No offense, but it seems extremely inefficient, and the larger the file you are computnig the md5sum on the more inefficient. Why not use the file system's modified flag, or even, depending on the types of changes you are expecting you could just check for a file-size change. Using either of these means that you wouldn't even have to open the file, let alone, slog through x bytes to compute an md5hash value. In terms of both computer resource usage and speed this would be a far better method in my opinion to the method you currently use. Regards Jordan uptown...@yahoo.com wrote: Hi folks, I've written a shell script running under CygWin, the purpose of which is to monitor a file for changes. If the MD5 hash fails to match the previous hash, it will execute a command to process the file. I used a 1-second delay between checks of the hash. This works great for several hours, but then gives an out of memory error and actually brings Windows 7 to its knees. The script uses a loop within a loop; the outer loop is infinite by design, and the inner loop ends when it finds a non-matching hash and processes the file. It broke while running the inner loop, without the file having been modified at that point in time. The file was modified numerous times previously, triggering the code below the inner loop, but not around the time when the memory error occurred. I am just wondering why the loops here are consuming increasing amounts of memory over time? I'm assigning new MD5 values into existing variables over and over, not allocating new variables for each MD5 assignment. (Right??)

Re: displaying Chinese radicals
Linguis, The radicals you speak of are only a component part of a Chinese character and not the character itself, just as the little dot above a lower case 'I' is not an alphabet and doesn't have a code. If there is an encoding for the radical / which even if it is one of the few that are also complete characters, their shapes are very different from a complete Chinese character. However if you have the fonts to display them and the encoding to use th em you can, but it is not a cygwin issue. Such radicals can't even be display on a Cinese box as far as I know, especially know that the characters have been so simplified (mutilated in my opinion). Wynfield Lingyis victor@gmail.com wrote: cygwin xterm or rxvt does a good job when it comes to displaying Chinese characters, but it doesn't have fonts for all the Chinese radicals. maybe half of them show up as SQUARES. the ones that do show up i can tell cygwin did some substitutions--i.e. dug up other fonts when current font doesn't have this glyph. can somebody give me some advice on this? on my mac machine the radicals just magically appear, so i imagine the fonts should be available somewhere in cygwin. thanks! -- -- 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

gs crashing
I tried gs to view a pdf document, but found it failed.
Upon a little investigating it was gs that was failing.
The reason given (with verbose flas set was)
GPL Ghostscript 8.63: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1
Error reading a content stream. The page may be incomplete.
Incorrect object count in object stream.
Error: /rangecheck in resolveobjectstream
I tried this on what seem to be valid pdf files and viewable with Samatra, the
open source viewer for MS-Windows.
Is this a problem due to upgrading the system and gv not in tune with it?

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. For example setup shows get the setup.bz2 file from the following address http://ftp.duam.net/cygwin//setup.bz2 not the two consequtive //'s above. 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. Don't forget the libtool probelm as well. Related or not I do not know. All help is appreciated regards wynfield On Thu, Feb 5, 2009 at 7:01 PM, From: ludovic leman: I'll try to build VideoLAN but it uses libtoolize I have tried to install libtool (1.5b-2) with setup.exe but this package doesn't include /usr/bin/libtoolize. In fact, the downloaded libtool-1.5b-2.tar.bz2 is empty I have tried to installed an alternative version : I uncheck Hide obsolete packages and I try to use libtool2.2 v2.2.2-2. The resulting libtool2.2-2.2.2-2.tar.bz2 is also empty. I have tried severals mirrors : all official libtool*.bz2 are empty. But on the mirrors, there are libtool*.bz2 files with different version number. (for example on http://sources-redhat.mirrors.airband.net/cygwin/release/libtool/ there is libtool-2.2.6a-1.tar.bz2 but the setup.ini from this mirroir doesn't reference this file) well, how can I install libtool package with the libtoolize file. thanks, -- 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/
