Hi, I just noticed rxvt-unicode is not available on cygwin-64bits, although it is on cygwing-32bits. Are there plans to include it? Also, terminus-fonts is not available neither for 64bits, nor 32. It'd be of great help to include such package. Is it in plans? If any of those is not in plan for 64bits, what would be the approach to get them? Or would you suggest getting rid of 64bits cygwin, and use 32bits one instead? Thanks, -- Javier.

[Fwd: CYGWIN notty (enthought solution?)]
Hello all. I've found this post: http://www.thescripts.com/forum/thread32391.html and I am having an identical problem. I'm a newbie. I've installed cygwin (without python), and then installed enthought - because I'm hoping to use the scypy tools, etc. Anyway, I'm running the latest cygwin on an xp pro machine. I use the .bat file (pasted below) to launch cygwin and an xterm. Notice i put the SET CYGWIN=notty line in there, but it hasn't done anything to improve the situation. Could someone perhaps explicitly sate how to set Cygwin=notty? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

A couple of weeks ago I thought of adding support in chere to create context menus for applications (as well as the shells). This would address most of the issues raised from this thread (on the cygwin list), and possibly a few others (access to network paths). Something along the lines of looking in a particular directory for shell script framnents (setting particular environment variables) and sourcing them from chere. Package maintainers (i.e. you guys) could then add scripts to this directory allowing the user to add context menu items for whichever packages they desired (and have installed). It would mean a significant internal change for chere, but it should be possible. Does this sound like something that would be made use of? If there's sufficient support, I'll look into it further and come back with a basic specification for the shell script fragments and some examples for further comment. Regards, Dave PS.

Fwd: cygwin tools in context menus
Hello, What i would like to do, is be able to right click on a file in Windows explorer and have a cygwin tool be avaiable either for the open, or the open with command. I've tried quite a variety of things, and i've gotten close... but so far no cigar. Heres a description of what i tried and the problems that result As an example, im trying to add gv.exe as a viewer for postscript files. 1. The straightforward approach associate gv with postscript files Problem - we get a command prompt window on the screen - if there are spaces in the path, it works, but with an x11 error message popping up. Its very wierd to me that it works at all. With text files and emacs, it does not work. 2. The seems like it should work approach - copy run.exe to rungv.exe, then associate rungv.exe with .ps files - this gets rid of the command window, as it should the problem - if there are spaces in the path, same problem as before 3. the brute force, hacked on it for an hour approach. In regedit, change the open command key to: c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -c cd \`dirname \%1\`\;run gv \`basename \%1\`\;exit (note that it seems to be gv, or emacs that does not like the filenames with spaces, even when quoted. Also note all the quotes to protect things against multiple layers of parsing.) Now it works on paths with spaces, but we have the stupid command window again. I needed bash because i cant figure out a way to backquote in the dos shell. (theres a bq.exe out there, but it seems broken) This seems much harder than it ought to be, andi cant escape the feeling im missing the obvious. Ive tried a few other variations on this theme too, with similar results. Has anyone got this working, or have suggestions? Any help much appreciated. Please reply directly, as i am not subscribed to the list.

The command I started with was: c:\cygwin\bin\bash -c /usr/X11R6/bin/gv -display localhost:0.0 \$(cygpath \%1\)\ This works but the bash console window hangs around. To get around this you can use to have bash launch the process in the background. But it is still associated with that console so you have to use the setsid utility to disassociate it: c:\cygwin\bin\bash -c setsid /usr/X11R6/bin/gv -display localhost:0.0 \$(cygpath \%1\)\ This works, but you still see the console briefly flash. You can further eliminate this by using run to start bash: C:\cygwin\bin\run bash -c /usr/X11R6/bin/gv -display localhost:0.0 \$(cygpath \%1\)\ This works for me. I had to use -display as parameter to gv because for some reason it wasn't finding $DISPLAY in the environment. I'm not sure why that is, it might be a bug. It was easier just to supply it on the command line though.

[Fwd: Cygwin NFS Server]
Rich, I've redirected this to the Cygwin mailing list - other folks may have these questions as well. Sorry if this is a particularly boneheaded question, but where can I find some documentation to help me set up NFS Server on Cygwin? You can find documentation for most packages under /usr/share/doc. Cygwin-specific documentation (including the nfs-server docs) are located under /usr/share/doc/Cygwin. Man pages are also provided - 'man nfsd', 'man mountd', etc. I am new to Cygwin, but I have successfully installed in on my Win2K machine, including NFS Server. I ran nfs-server-config and although it complained about my mounts being non-system (they are system, so I ignored the warning) it seemed to start the services OK. Could you please post the output from running mount? I edited the /etc/exports file to add a single entry to export a subdirectory, but now what? Usually I would run exportfs (I think, I am not an NFS expert either) but there doesn't seem to be such a beast. You can restart mountd and nfsd, ex: cygrunsrv --stop mountd cygrunsrv --stop nfsd cygrunsrv --start mountd cygrunsrv --start nfsd Or you can just send the processes a SIGHUP to tell them to reread the exports file: kill -s 1 mountd-pid kill -s 1 nfsd-pid SO... I looked for a man page or README or something, but I couldn't find it (I did not install all the source...so I have to?) Location of docs and man pages I've already described.
