RE: 'man' page for 'mintty' for review

MinTTY users,
Please, if you would, review the attached 'man' page -- 'mintty.1'.
Andy Koppe intends to fold it into the 0.3.6 MinTTY release.
Comments, corrections, addtitions to this list, please.
I haven't checked all the details, but most of it seems OK to me.
There are a few points that you may want to consider.
I don't think the man page should contain installation instructions.
If you're reading the man page, mintty is already installed, so the
instructions just get in the way of the more useful information. They
should instead be put in a plain text file in the root of the source
package (and perhaps also in a README in /usr/share/doc/Cygwin).
The reference to the cygwin home directory in the description of the
--config option is potentially confusing (presumably why ('~') is
added). A novice cygwin user might think cygwin home referred to
/home rather than /home/user or wherever $HOME point. I think it
would be better to refer to the user's home directory, which would
be more consistent with the other references. Also, the reference to
~ is only applicable within a cygwin shell, so anyone trying to find
~/.minttyrc using cmd.exe is liable to be confused.
I think you should change this:
| There is also a discussion forum available at this site.
which is misleading, to something like this:
| There is also a mailing list for discussing Cygwin related issues.
| See http://cygwin.com/cygwin/lists.html for details. Please read

Re: how to install libtoolize [FIXED]
[...] There are continued problems with setup.ini after last weeks problems. I made some changes to tighten up the way that setup.ini was generated which caused package directories to be sorted differently. That uncovered a problem with libtool, apr1, and aprutil1. There were duplicate packages in the cygwin repo and, after my changes, the obsolete duplicate packages were given precedence over their newer counterparts. I've removed the offending packages and added error checking to upset to catch this kind of thing in the future. So, now, as last week, the thing to do is wait for the mirrors to catch up and cross your fingers that this is the last package problem we'll see for a while. cgf now, setup.ini seems to be fixed.

Re: dd in cygwin vs dd in linux - number of records is always different
On Feb 8 16:30, Morph Ex wrote:

6196301824 bytes (6.2 GB) copied, 3323.91 s, 1.9 MB/s
Just to let you know that I can reproduce a similar result. In my test
case it's just not 1 block but 200 blocks. For some reason the Win32
function ReadFile returns EOF prematurely, in my case on XP as well as
on Server 2008, and I have not the faintest idea why. I created a
non-Cygwin testcase (attached) which uses only native NT functions to
open/seek/read/close the device and it suffers the exact same problem.
Ii doesn't have anything to do with Cygwin, apparently.
If you want to experiment with the native NT testcase, you can build
it with
$ gcc -g -o ntreadraw ntreadraw.c -lntdll
(with or without -mno-cygwin) and then you can run it like this:
$ ./ntreadraw \\Device\\CdRom0 2048 3025530
The output for my testcase looks like this:
$ ./ntreadraw \\Device\\CdRom0 2048 98990
partition info: offset 0 length 203044864 (99143 blocks)
Setting offset to: 202731520
Current offset: 202731520 (block 98990)
NtReadFile: pos: 202731520 (block 98990), status 0x, bytes read: 2048
NtReadFile: pos: 202733568 (block 98991), status 0x, bytes read: 2048
NtReadFile: pos: 202735616 (block 98992), status 0x, bytes read: 2048
NtReadFile: pos: 202737664 (block 98993), status 0xc011, bytes read: 8
Final offset: 202737664 (block 98993)
So in my case, the DVD has 99143 blocks and Windows stops to read
after block 98993 all the time with status 0xC011, which simply
is the native NT status code for EOF (STATUS_END_OF_FILE).
I guess I'll ask on one of the Microsoft newsgroups if this is a known
effect and especially what I'm doing wrong or what I have to do to
get the desired behaviour.
Btw., if anybody has an idea what's going wrong, please speak up :}

[ANNOUNCEMENT] [1.7] Updated: cygwin-1.7.0-40
Hi folks, I just uploaded a new Cygwin 1.7 test release, 1.7.0-40. Just download http://cygwin.com/setup-1.7.exe and use that setup tool to install Cygwin 1.7. As usual, please report bugs and problems to the mailing list cygwin AT cygwin DOT com. We also have a new User's Guide for 1.7, which is currently located at http://cygwin.com/1.7/cygwin-ug-net/cygwin-ug-net.html (Multiple HTML files) or http://cygwin.com/1.7/cygwin-ug-net.html (One single big HTML file) I would appreciate bug fixes and extensions to the documentation in the form of patches to the source SGML files. The SGML sources are located in the CVS repository under the winsup/doc directory, for example here: http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/winsup/doc/?cvsroot=src We don't have a new 1.7 FAQ yet since we don't know what *will* be a FAQ in future, but I'm planning to drop at least old stuff from the FAQ in the next couple of days. Maybe that goes without saying, but we would really appreciate help with the new FAQ as well as with the User's Guide and Cygwin in general. THIS IS STILL A TEST RELEASE. DON'T USE IN PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENTS. What's new in contrast to 1.7.0-39: === - New Linux-like virtual files /proc/$PID/mounts, /proc/mounts. The base-cygwin package now creates a /etc/mtab entry which is a symlink to /proc/mounts. - A hack has been added to workaround a brokenness in the UDF drivers of Windows 2000/XP in terms of casesensitivity. - The code which produces default ACL entries for directories has been disabled. They are not necessary and actually a non-POSIXism only marginally useful for native Win32 applications. So far you could see them by the fact that `ls -ld dir' always showed a trailing '+' in the permission entry. - Export wcstok(). - cygcheck now prints the state of the OS obcaseinsensitive flag for analyzing purposes. Bugfixes: = - Fix a problem reading physical disk drives (/dev/sda etc) and CD/DVD drives (/dev/scd0, /dev/sr1, etc) up to the actual end of the medium. - Fix inode number evaluation for the faked . entry in directories which have no such entry (for instance, top-level drive dirs as C:\). The bug could have resulted in different inode numbers returned by readdir() and stat(). - A new header file sys/sched.h which overwrites the equivalent newlib file FAQ: - Q: How do I know that I'm running Cygwin 1.7.0-40? A: The `uname -v' command prints 2009-02-09 22:27 Have fun, Corinna Just for completeness, here's once more the list of Changes in 1.7.0 related to 1.5.25: OS releated changes: - Windows 95, 98 and Me are not supported anymore. The new DLL will not run on any of these systems. File Access related changes: - Mount points are no longer stored in the registry. Use /etc/fstab and /etc/fstab.d/$USER instead. Mount points created with mount(1) are only local to the current session and disappear when the last Cygwin process in the session exits. - PATH_MAX is now 4096. Internally, path names can be as long as the underlying OS can handle (32K). - UTF-8 filenames are supported now. So far, this requires to set the environment variable CYGWIN to contain codepage:utf8. but this will likely disappear at one point. The setting of $LANG or $LC_CTYPE will be used instead. - struct dirent now supports d_type, filled out with DT_REG or DT_DIR. All other file types return as DT_UNKNOWN for performance reasons. - The CYGWIN environment variable options ntsec and smbntsec have been replaced by the per-mount option acl/noacl. - The CYGWIN environment variable option ntea has been removed without substitute. - The CYGWIN environment variable option check_case has been removed in favor of real case-sensitivity on file systems supporting it. - Creating filenames with special DOS characters '', '*', ':', '', '', '|' is supported. - Creating files with special DOS device filename components (aux, nul, prn) is supported. - File name are case sensitive if the OS and the underlying file system supports it. Works on NTFS and NFS. Does not work on FAT and Samba shares. Requires to change a registry key (see the user's guide). Can be switched off on a per-mount base. - Due to the above changes, managed mounts have been removed. - Incoming DOS paths are always handled case-insensitive and get no POSIX permission, as if they are mounted with noacl,posix=0 mount flags. - unlink(2) and rmdir(2) try very hard to remove files/directories even if they are currently accessed or locked. This is done by utilizing the hidden recycle bin directories and marking the files for deletion. - rename(2) rewritten to be

Re: libtool 2.2.6a: LDFLAGS ignored when building a shared lib?
Corinna Vinschen wrote: I have a problem using libtool 2.2.6a. I've just tried to build the latest file(1) for Cygwin 1.7 using gcc-4. Since gcc-4 is still in flux I decided to build with a static libgcc. First I reconfed the file source tree so that the latest libtool is used. This worked fine, configure and make succeeded. However, here's the one puzzeling problem I have. I'm unable to build using the -static-libgcc flag. I tried to add it to LDFLAGS, then to CFLAGS, then to both. For some reason this flag is filtered out when gcc gets called to link the shared lib. [snip] So there's the `-static-libgcc' twice in the libtool comamnd line when called from make. But when libtool calls gcc, nothing's left of it. I understand why CFLAGS is missing, but why did it filter out LDFLAGS as well? And, if that's normal, why, and how do I workaround that? I believe it is a long-standing bug, mentioned here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-libtool/2005-10/msg4.html but IIRC the promised patch was never produced. Try Ralf's suggested workaround, configuring your entire package with CC='gcc -static-libcc' and/or CXX='g++ -static-libgcc'.

First you avoid the answer by saying it is an implementation detail. long winded response deleted Linda, you've been around this list long enough to understand how to handle them. Please, if you want to berate someone for answering your posts, do it on one list only. Of course, I'm having trouble seeing the benefit of continuing with either thread, given your stubbornness to hold onto the notion that there must be a complicated way to solve this problem. So let me summarize once more. You can take it as your answer or not. 1. Going to the registry in general for information you can get from the Cygwin 'mount' command is not supported and is error prone. 2. Providing the proper path in 'startxwin.bat' does not require special analysis of the registry, file system, or any other source to find the proper root for Cygwin. There are at least two ways of directly solving this robustly: a. Have 'setup.exe' do it, like it does for 'cygwin.bat' b. Use the path to 'startxwin.bat' as the path (it is in the Cygwin installation path after all). 3. If you need to do this generically for any batch file, then yes, you have to rely on external data and heuristics. Going to the registry to see if it will help or searching the file system are two alternatives but there is no one key or one spot that will unequivocally give you the installation path. Looking at the mount paths in the registry will work for 1.5 but is flawed for 1.7. Looking in the file-system may work depending on what you look for and where you start looking. Hopefully this summary of what I've said already is clear and compact enough for you to understand what I'm saying. If not, I'll leave you to enjoy your continued quest unimpeded by more answers from me. If you don't like this answer, please feel free to post more long-winded prose that picks each word of my response apart such that it looses all context.

Please, if you want to berate someone for answering your posts, do it on one list only. --- That wasn't my intent in my original response. I originally only wanted to report a problem in a cygwin-app and off the cuff, I suggested a possible solution. My bad. But it raised the question -- if my solution didn't work, then what was a good solution. So I asked how a generic Windows .bat program could find out where Cygwin was installed -- with a lead-in of asking of how it was done in the mount -p program. You told me that was not necessary for me to know -- but it still didn't answer the 2nd half -- which was how a general Windows.bat file might find the location of Cygwin so it could even call mount -p in the first place. Please note. The .bat file in question ISN'T my .bat file. I made a suggestion that was incorrect. So I wanted to know how someone writing .bat file, in the general case, *should* be doing it --- the conversation wasn't designed to be berating. It was just growing frustrating because the preferred answer seemed to be circular. I.e. 'mount' will always be in /bin -- which implies knowing where bin is Turns out the answer is that there is no good solution. This could then be a lead-in to a next suggestion -- that just like on linux on QT -- or on Windows with various utils, they put something in the environment so other programs can locate where the package was installed. I.e. maybe Cygwin should add an official dir in the system (for an all-user install), or user (for a 1-user install) environment (stored in the registry), so add-on applications that rely on Cygwin or rely on knowing where it was installed will work. It's not like in Windows where you can add something to the linux-registry, /etc, or path-specific part /etc/profile.d and have other apps pick up this information. It would make more sense to put it in a registry environment variable.

Actually, this has been discussed already and has been resolved by having 1.7's 'setup.exe' putting the Cygwin root installation directory in... the registry!

Re: Tried mintty but it locks-up on enabling Copy on select
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. I suspect most users will have 'copy on select' enabled and there've been no problems reported so far, so particular circumstances on your setup must be exposing a latent bug. Hence the .minttyrc and the stackdump would be useful. Also, a few more questions, if you're willing to help tracking it down. Does it lock up as soon as you start mintty or the first time you try to copy something? Have you got any clipboard utilities running? Does it work if you delete or rename ~/.minttyrc to go back to the default settings and copy something through the context menu?

Can unison syncronize permission bits
Hi, Before complaining that unison does not syncronize the permission bits between my C: drive and my USB drive, I would like to ask if it should be able to do it? I have searched a lot, and found various indicators that it should be able, but also that it will not do it on windows systems. So, is the cygwin version of unison able to syncronize permission bits between my C: drive and my USB drive? If someone says yes, it should be able to, I will post some more doc. /Morten _ Nye biler, brugte biler, motorsport, tuning og lir - på MSN Mand http://www.msnmand.dk/ -- 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/

It went from my finding a bug in the Cygwin Xserver's startxwin.bat script (something appropriate for the cygwin-xfree list) to a more general question of how one would solve the problem of finding the cygwin prefix in a windows batchfile. Actually, that's not the question you asked, though I'll concede that this is what you meant to ask. And I answered that on the main list. For completeness, I'll paraphrase it here - there's no good way. AH HAH! Thank-you. My original intent was simply to report a bug in the Cygwin-X startup script startxwin.bat that you told me (indirectly via the FAQ) to use. My first idea was to use mount -p as you suggest. However, I immediately realized that mount wouldn't be available if you were not already in the Cygwin environment. Just because you can't answer the question without circular logic is no reason to get upset. While other statements of yours have been understandable, even if they were in error, this one makes no sense so I won't respond to it. --- Probably somewhat a case of projection... ;^ -- 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/
