Yes: use quotes around variable references. The above is what you can get

This is why I kept mentioning that the snapshot cygwin DLL wasn't installed in the right location. I correctly assumed that this step did not put the cygwin DLL (or any of the cygwin programs) in c:\cygwin\bin. The cygcheck output made this pretty clear. cgf Yes, when I untarred the file with /bin/tar -jxvf cygwin-inst-20060614.tar.bz2, I found it contained only these two top-level directories: /etc and /usr. It did not contain a /bin directory. Well, untarring on Linux in itself wouldn't have been so bad, but you've probably used a Windows ftp to copy the files to your PC -- and that's where the problem lies. Cygwin's ftp would have understood Cygwin mounts, and placed all the files in /bin (which /usr/bin is an alias for, as far as Cygwin applications are concerned), though, of course, it too would not have been able to replace cygwin1.dll, for the obvious reasons.

Re: ssh password-less cmds to Windows 2003 don't return any output
On Wed, 21 Jun 2006, John McNulty wrote: Hello, I've been testing executing command via password-less SSH (public key) logins from MacOSX and OpenVMS clients to a Redhat EL AS 4 server, and a WinXP Home system (with Cygwin's OpenSSH). All works ok and I can issue test commands like: $ ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] ipconfig and see the output from ipconfig on the client. However I've just installed and configured Cygwin OpenSSH on a Windows 2003 server, and setup password-less logins (via public keys) as before. But when I try and issue a command via ssh from the client I get no command output back at all. The remote command just completes silently. The password-less login is working just fine. Does anyone else see this and have any idea why I'm getting this behavior? Cygwin ssh (and basically all terminals except the Windows console) use pipes to emulate ttys (so-called ptys). Some Windows applications don't like these ptys and won't write data to them (and they will certainly not detect them as a console, so any console-specific functions won't work either). I followed the instructions in ssh-host-config and opted to use the sshd_server account (which kind of caught me by surprise). Obviously this changes the way ssh works on Cygwin a little. On Windows 2003, SYSTEM does not have the appropriate privileges to switch user contexts, so ssh-host-config needs to create an account that does. Read http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#ntsec-switch for details. Ultimately the object of the exercise here is to drive a CLI app on Windows 2003 from batch jobs on OpenVMS. Cygwin OpenSSH is the only way I've been able to think of to solve this problem. The other clients and servers are only being used to test my methodology is correct, and it works flawlessly on WinXP Home. You are not guaranteed that the program you want to drive will work with a pty. The easiest way to check is to run the application in rxvt. If that works, your app will probably work over ssh as well. If it doesn't, don't even bother to set up ssh. Whether or not this works is specific to the application you intend to run.

Does that mean that the gnome-terminal I got from standard setup was compiled with the cygwin1.dll file from a snapshot? First, you did not get gnome-terminal from the official Cygwin distribution, since a search for gnome-terminal on the Cygwin package search page turns up only the icons and the themes. The fact that you used Cygwin setup to install gnome-terminal doesn't really matter, since you can supply any mirror to Cygwin setup and it'll happily give you all the packages on that mirror alongside the official Cygwin packages. That means you will need to take it up with whoever provides gnome-terminal. I'm guessing it's the CygwinPorts project, and they have their own mailing lists. Since I can't find anything after a quick search of CygwinPorts about gnome-terminal requiring a snapshot, I can only assume that it's an unintentional packaging error, but Yaakov would be the person to answer that (on a CygwinPorts list). Also, a minor clarification: it was built against the snapshot *headers*, not just the snapshot cygwin1.dll, but the upshot of that is that it requires a snapshot DLL.

Re: Pb with bash script under cygwin

Hello,
Thank you for all your suggestions.
I have finally managed to do what I wanted.
There was several reasons:
1) the different -name options of find have to be enclosed in protected
bracket \( ... \)
3) the need to use the eval function
2) in a script, one need to protect the different special characters from
being interpreted before the final command. For exemple, I have to
write \\\( in order to obtain \(.
I suspect that learning about single vs. double quoting, and bash arrays,
would have saved you a lot of grief.
The problem, is that I don't really understand what happens, why I nedd to
put 3\ and not 2 or 4, but the main point is that it now works.
The paired-up backslashes produce one escaped backslash. The last one
escapes the parenthesis.
my new script is :
TYPELIST=._bc ._ch ._cl ._cm ._df ._dl ._ev ._fl ._gr ._hl ._is ._mb ._mm
._mp ._ov ._pr ._sn ._sy ._ti ._tr ._sf
Extension=$(echo ${TYPELIST} | sed -es:[ ][.]:' -delete \\\) -o \\\( -iname
'*.:g | sed -es:^[.]:\\\( -iname '*.: | sed -es:$:' -delete \\\):)
Oh, and learning about sed would help too. In particular, you can do all
of the above in one expression. Incidentally, you can also do this all in
bash, without spawning the sed processes...
MaCommande=find . ${Extension}
eval ${MaCommande}
...and you need quotes here too, i.e.,
eval ${MaCommande}

RE: 1.5.19: tar runs normally from command line but terminates early when run from crontab

Haywood on 6/19/2006 3:53 AM: When run from the command line the job works ... and when run from the crontab it fails... It's probably a bug in your cron setup, rather than a bug in tar. Have you run cron-diagnose? Can you get simpler cron tasks to work? Remember that cron is run as a different user than the normal command line, so permissions do play a role on what the cron script can do. The cron instance was running as the same user that could successfully run the tar job from the command line, so it wasn't permissions, but I think you're right, Eric, about it being the cron setup. I think that the problem is there's no MTA running on the box. Even though there's no mail to be sent by cron it seems to be trying to connect to an MTA before finding that there's no mail to send. Unfortunately, when it finds there's no MTA it terminates the job. (If I had syslog running it might tell me... :) Check the Windows event log. Or install a syslog daemon (Cygwin has 2 -- the original syslog in inetutils, and syslogng in syslog-ng). When I redirected tar's stdout (as well as the existing redirection of its stderr) to a file, the tar job in the crontab ran to completion. Yes, cron will try to email you the output of a job if it's not redirected into a file, even if the output is empty. Funny thing is, I'm sure I have several Linux machines kicking around which are running jobs from crontabs but not running MTAs. I'd better check that, I suppose... You don't need to *run* an MTA, only to have an MTA installed (e.g., sendmail). FWIW, Cygwin has a few MTAs that you can use (ssmtp, exim).

Charles, I was pretty sure that it wasn't an environment problem as the command shouldn't be relying on anything in the environment for its execution (sure, you never know until you try:). Well, if your cron job says tar instead of /usr/bin/tar, you're relying on the environment.

At this point in time, I am at a complete loss. Any help would be appreciated. Could it be a permissions/group issue? I cannot tell. I ran cron_diagnose.sh 1.10 and it said all was well. cron_diagnose.sh has been known to miss a few cron setup issues, especially in tricky situations like yours. In particular, I don't think it was designed to test installations where cron does not run as SYSTEM (though that information may be out of date by now). However, Mark (the author of cron_diagnose.sh) usually strives to make it more comprehensive. Any wisdom that the group can provide would be MUCH appreciated. I've spent at least 5 hours banging my head on this issue. c:\Program Files\Common Files\Sonic Shared % c:\Program Files\Executive Software\Diskeeper\ There's the '%' in your PATH that looks a bit suspicious.

One thing to note is that you might want to introduce a dependence on the tcpip service, so that cron doesn't start before that service... But then it should still work if you restart the service manually. Another thing to try is adding a 'net use' command (with a password) to authenticate the cron script to the shares. I'm not suggesting this as a permanent solution, but it would help rule out cron authentication issues vs. other environment issues. Also, is your machine connected to the network and to the domain when your cron script runs?

Re: Suggestion: split vim support files into separate package
On Mon, 26 Jun 2006, Marshall Abrams wrote: I want to suggest splitting vim support files (installed in /usr/share/vim/vimmajor-version) into a separate package from the binaries. There are two versions of vim binaries in Cygwin, the no-X version (vim), and the version with X GUI compiled in (gvim), but their (major) versions are not always in sync (as recent posts on this list illustrated). The problem is that if you install the newer version in the most obvious way, the support files for the older version get deleted, and all of a sudden the older version which you're still using doesn't function properly. (For example, at the moment, installing the latest no-X vim in Cygwin, at version 7.0, deletes the support files for the latest version of gvim in Cygwin, at version 6.4.) Of course there are various ways to work around this problem without too much trouble, but why not just make the support files a separate package with dependencies linking both versions of the binaries to it. That way, I assume, the older support files wouldn't go away if something still depends on them. Sorry, but that's not how it works. Cygwin package dependences are not implicitly versioned, so if you release a newer version of the support files package, it will overwrite the old one, just as it does in the current setup. Even now, gvim requires vim, and that doesn't help, as you can see. The vim and gvim packages are really intended to be released in lock-step. The gvim maintainer was already asked to prepare a 7.0 version -- we'll just have to wait until he does. An alternative is to introduce explicitly versioned dependencies (i.e., where the version becomes part of the package name). This is already done for shared library packages -- whenever a new version gets released, a compatibility package with the old version gets split off. The problem is that this is quite a bit of effort, http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#SHTDI, and the vim/gvim maintainers are (appropriately) not willing to invest that much effort. While it's necessary for shared libraries (since you never know who will be needing the old DLL version), I don't think this would be too useful for two sister packages like vim and gvim.

If there have been many changes, it's all the more difficult to find out which change introduced the problem (IMNSHO). I would take advantage of the Test release present in setup to give people time to check things, then rotate it into the Current slot, and the older one to Previous. I know other people have different working styles, but it helps to understand where they are coming from and their rationale for doing it the way they do it. Linda What is the difference between installing a test release of Cygwin and installing a snapshot of Cygwin (other than the mechanism by which you do it)? How would it help you if the current snapshot were made available as a release today? It would be as (un)stable as the snapshot it was packaged from. The Cygwin developers intentionally do not make snapshots installable via setup, because of exactly that mindset: releases are stable, snapshots aren't. If you got something via setup, you would feel you have the right to complain about it if something breaks and demand that it be fixed. If you install a snapshot, well, you were warned. You'd still complain (and we want you to), but you'll probably invest more effort in tracking down the problem and producing a simple testcase. Nevertheless I'd like to propose that the cygwin snapshots shouldn't merely be called snapshot in the future but stable snapshot. This might help to provide the cozy and warm feeling which seems to be so desperately needed. Ah, I can just imagine the subject of a message: Please do not install the 20060624 stable snapshot -- it is hopelessly broken. :-D Though jokes aside, snapshots that multiple people used with no (or few) problems could be marked stable so that people who are too cautious to live on the bleeding edge of Cygwin can bring themselves to get the benefit of the latest fixes in the snapshots. Of course, that would involve actually having the people that test the snapshots and report successes somewhere (and hopefully on a separate mailing list), and then someone to collate the results and notify the Cygwin developers to mark the snapshot as stable (with pointers to success messages as proof of stability).

Re: Help Understanding Path Issue

I think he meant CLASSPATHs and PATHs. :-) When I run ant from a cmd window all is good. It picks up the value and runs fine. But I do not want to use the cmd prompt, and would like to use cygwin. But when I issue ant I get the dreaded error: Error: JAVA_HOME is not defined correctly. We cannot execute /cygdrive/c/jdk1.5.0_02/bin/java This is actually a bug in ant -- you want to set JAVA_HOME in such a way that $JAVA_HOME/bin/java exists (i.e., for the Sun JVM you'd set it to /cygdrive/c/jdk1.5.0_02/jre). I do not want to change all my HOME, PATH, values because some of the system software uses them as they are. Can I get around this? Is there where it makes sense to use a symbolic link? Nope, symlinks will not help you (or at least, they probably won't). If the program that looks at a particular environment variable is a Cygwin program, then the var should give a POSIX path. Otherwise it should give a Windows path. You should only have problems switching between the two if you have programs of both flavors looking at the same variable (other than PATH which Cygwin handles automagically). Actually, the list of variables automatically translated by Cygwin was posted here at some point (it may even be in the FAQ). At the very least it's PATH, HOME, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but there may be others. In this particular case, ant is the program that does the translation. Also, the path is used by the Cygwin program (the shell), so the POSIX version is the right one. Example: I assume you are using a non-Cygwin Java (I don't believe I have even heard of a Cygwin JVM, so that seems likely), therefore your JAVAHOME should be a Windows path, regardless of what shell (A cygwin *sh vs. Windows cmd) you are using. For Java, there are wrapper scripts that make Java understand some POSIX paths (i.e., it won't translate paths passed as arguments to your Java program, but it will translate POSIX paths in properties, CLASSPATH, etc). Currently, the only way to get them is from CVS[1], but I would appreciate testing and feedback. However, you don't need those scripts to run ant.

Point 1) I type cygrunsrv -L at Cygwin prompt, but I get the message bash: cygrunsrv: command not found. What does this mean? Is it safe to assume that I have non Cygiwn services running, and that I can pass to point 2? Yes, that basically means that you have no way of running Cygwin services (well, technically, some Cygwin programs, notably inetd, know how to install themselves as a service, but cygrunsrv wouldn't've helped you find them anyway). The FAQ could be clearer on this point. Point 2) What is the X11 server? How do I know if there are any Cygwin programs that might be running in the background, and in case there are some, how do I terminate them? Use ps -ef to list all Cygwin processes (from all users). Again, probably something for the FAQ. If I complete these points, there should be no problem with the following ones: basically, I just delete Cygwin directory from the hard disk. I didn't add Cygwin to system path, neither did I set CYGWIN environment variable, so unless the installer did it, I shouldn't need to do anything else. Thanks for your attention, You'll also want to delete the registry key, as outlined in the above instructions. Oh, and deleting the directory won't remove any shortcuts created by the Cygwin installation packages (like those in the Start Menu or on the desktop, or the associations created by the chere package), so it's better to use setup.exe to uninstall everything first, *then* delete the directory and the registry key.

Just to clarify, Igor's procedure won't remove the chere associations that he mentioned. If you don't recognise chere, then you don't have any associations to remove. If someone else set things up for you, run the following command (before uninstalling cygwin) to identify any associations: chere -l To remove the associations, run chere -u -s shell for each shell, where shell is the shell you installed (cmd/ash/bash/tcsh/pdksh/zsh). That's from memory (and I don't uninstall that often:), see man chere for accurate information. Right, thanks for the clarification, Dave. I forgot that chere needed to be explicitly invoked to add the association (and thus explicitly invoked to remove it as well). This also applies to other packages that need to be explicitly configured (e.g., sshd, cron, etc). In any case, the advice still applies -- any package that was installed using Cygwin setup will need to be uninstalled using Cygwin setup to give the preremove scripts a chance to run. Technically, the preremove scripts should undo whatever the postinstall scripts did (if they don't, it's a packaging bug).

Everything in the Base and Misc categories is installed by default. Any package that an installed package requires is installed by default. Shampoo, rinse, repeat. I do not see anything in setup.ini that controls this. You didn't look hard enough. It's everything with category:.* Base or category:.* Misc. It is also not hard-coded in the setup program itself, as far as I can tell, nor does there seem to be any other obvious external source (file) which provides the necessary information. Ah, but it *is* hard-coded in setup. In two places. See PickView::defaultTrust() and packagemeta::set_action(). I have seen the suggestion that any packages placed in Base will be included in the default package list, but that seems like a bit of a kluge. Perhaps, but that's how it is. I have spent hours with google, and hours studying the setup.exe source code without any success. Does anyone have a answer to this? Is it just so simple that any six year old could see it, but I'm no longer six? It is pretty simple. And, to answer the question you've put in your subject line but never asked in the body of the message, the easiest way to make some packages install by default is to create an empty dummy package, put it in the Base category, and make it require all the packages you want installed.

When I am in latex mode and I latex my file (C-c C-f) sometimes xemacs freezes. That is, I cannot edit the buffer, the cursor does not move, and I cannot close the window. All I could do is just to kill it. I can, however, minimize the window or move it around. Xemacs does not always hang, and I am unable to be able to predict when it will fail. All I can tell is that if it works well the first time, it does not fail later. That is, all the times it does fail it is in the first time I try to latex my file. I also tried to run other shell commands from inside xemacs (that is, with M-!), but they always work without a problem. I look in the cygwin mail archive, and found that a similar problem (not with latex, however) were discussed in 2002. The latest one I found was http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2002-09/msg00521.html but it is not clear to my how the problem was solved. Any ideas how this problem can be fixed? Presumably, I just missed the post with the explanation. Thanks for any tips. Hi, Thanks. I tested it now under cygwin and I had the same problem. That is, I did not start x and run latex directly from the cygwin window and I got the same problem. So maybe it is belong to the cygwin mailing list. I think it's time to read and follow the Cygwin problem reporting guidelines at http://cygwin.com/problems.html. It would also help to have a copy of the file that makes LaTeX freeze (and would help even more if you could reduce it to a minimal example that still reproduces the problem). Also, are you sure LaTeX actually freezes? If it's a first run, sometimes LaTeX needs to make some font files used in your documents (in different sizes, etc), and that takes a lot of CPU and may look like the rest of the window is frozen.

Re: Find working improperly causes updatedb to take forever
On Tue, 11 Jul 2006, Victor E. Vaile, IV wrote: Hello, I upgraded my cygwin today from 1.5.19-4 to 1.5.20-1 (along with other various packages to their current versions). I ran updatedb, and instead of it taking less than a few minutes, the prompt hadn't returned after several minutes. I fired up procexp.exe (from sysinternals.com) and saw that the find.exe process was opening several registry keys in HKCR. This process was taking between 20-45% of my cpu as well. I did a quick test of the following command: /usr/bin/find / \( -fstype proc \) -prune -o -print0 Sure enough, the find command happily started traversing the /proc registry keys. I reverted the cygwin base (keeping everything else installed as is, although I don't know if there are any dependencies that might be reverted automatically) back to 1.5.19-4, and did the same test, and find exited properly before descending into /proc as expected. I'm currently using 1.5.19-4 again. :( As far as I know the syntax for the find command should work as above. (I actually made a copy of the updatedb script and changed it to echo the find command it was using to make sure.) Anyway, I saw another post to this list with the subject Updatedb does not finish, however I didn't see any replies, or updates, and just thought I'd mail the list in case anyone is interested, or has any other insights. Thanks. The most likely change from 1.5.19 to 1.5.20 that caused this is the fact that virtual directories (/proc, /dev, etc) are now enumerated as part of the root directory listing. So, not only would your find recurse into /proc, it would probably also recurse into /cygdrive, unless you use the -xdev option (which updatedb doesn't by default). As for -fstype proc not matching /proc, that is probably a real bug, though it's unclear whether the bug is in findutils or Cygwin. Basically, findutils reads through the mount table entries, and expects all filesystems to be there (including /proc, etc). Under Cygwin, /proc doesn't appear as a separate mount table entry, and thus is missed by findutils. Depending on whether POSIX mandates that /proc appear in the mount table or not, either Cygwin or findutils needs to be fixed. Since findutils uses GNUlib's read_file_system_list(), it's also possible that the fix needs to be made there. For more info, see the findutils source (find/fstype.c is the most relevant source file, I believe). As a workaround, you might want to add /proc to PRUNEPATHS.

Ugh. In my kind example, I neglected to notice that you were using
check instead of set, unset, or get. You might want to browse
regtool's documentation again.
Sumpin' is screwy. Overflowing a buffer? Let me be REALLY clear so we're
sure I'm not sending bad info.
The key sequence is:
/HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/UserAssist/{75048700-EF1F-11D0-9888-006097DEACF9}/Count
The name sequence is:
HRZR_EHACVQY:P:\Qbphzragf naq Frggvatf\Fgrcura Yvaqare\Erprag\QFP00055.WCT.yax
The value of this name is something in hex...doesn't matter right?
I emacsed together a script to wipe years of junk out of the rotten-13
sections. But until I can do one, none will work.
I want to check symbols on all before I let the removals fly.
You'll probably want to run a check on a key, then a list to get all
the values, and then iterate over each value and do an unset. Again,
please review the regtool man page.

How do I find out which file has read-only access? I am making the assumption that if a program is in the cygwin distribution, the cygwin community would like to get it working properly. Is this assumption valid? assume = ass + U + me. As Brian said in a separate thread: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-01/msg00632.html I have reread that post. Just to repeat. If you trying to update cygwin, please use setup.exe, the only supported mechanism for doing so. I used setup.exe only a night or two before I did the post. I installed the latest of everything. dselect is a package installed by the cygwin setup.exe. I believe what Dave meant was that you cannot update Cygwin using dpkg. If you are looking for a mechanism to do updates via the command line, there isn't a tool do this. However setup.exe can be fooled into doing this (please Google), and there are attempts to make setup.exe more useful from the command line. There are a few package managers from Linux distributions available (dselect and rpm are the ones I can think of). As far as I know these are only present for two reasons: - to allow inspection of packages for these distributions I am unable to use dselect for the inspection of packages in the Debian distribution. Eh? I don't see this in your screen dump. All it says is that you will be unable to *install* the packages, only preview the available selections. Looks like that's exactly what you want to do as you stated above. I also don't see any mention of the root user. Please let us know what the exact error message was, and why it made you think you needed root access. - to help investigations of the feasability of other packaging methods for cygwin. None of them are currently capable of maintaining a cygwin installation. Also, you will note that dpkg was last updated in 2002 and IIRC is looking for a maintainer (or may be culled at any time). If you still want help with dselect, I suggest you describe exactly what you are trying to do with it, and the steps you take which lead to the problem. It will them become clear whether or not that behaviour is expected to work or not. I open a bash shell. I type dselect at the command line. The error comes up as in the attached screen dump.

I finally got back to the original system that I experienced the problem on (now perhaps not really so much a problem as I thought. I'll elaborate). The attachment is a log of commands that I executed that highlights the problem very clearly. You will see that after running *exim-config* (not cygserver-config), the Cygwin services correctly display as uid SYSTEM, and not 400. Looking at the exim-config script, I am totally bewildered how this could have had any effect on the problem. It looks quite tame (in terms of editing rights, etc...). Perhaps someone might have better insight into this. I am now also not so sure that the processes showing UID 400 was really a problem in the first place. In my earlier email, inetd was not working because of an unrelated problem. I am actually trying to reproduce the problem now, and just ascertain if there was a *rights* problem associated, as it did very much appear to me to be earlier.

That's a problem with the ZIP format, which does not keep permissions. Try tar.

However, Windows does have ACL inheritance rules that set everything to be executable. You can tell Cygwin to use default Windows permissions by temporarily setting CYGWIN to nontsec, i.e., run CYGWIN=nontsec unzip somefile.zip This would not assign u+x, but rather a+x.

Therefore, it is not reasonable to attempt to rebuild the executables in a download using the sources and gcc in the same download, and expect an *exact* reconstruction.

That sounds like a silly question... 'are Windows paths only broken on Windows?' It sounds like a silly question, but it isn't. I tested, and yes, if you have a directory named c: in Linux, make is broken on that directory, too. Since c: is a valid name in Linux (and POSIX, I believe) I consider that a bug in make. I'll have to report that to GNU, as it is not a cygwin issue. The error message on Linux is just as incomprehensible as it is Cygwin, too, so at least I know who to talk to about it. While ':' is a valid filename character on Linux (though not on all filesystems, obviously), it is a special character in make. So you need to be careful when using it in Makefiles. Just like '' is a valid filename character, but you would not expect to be able to use it unquoted in your shell. Is this a cywin only bug? What possible reason could there be to introduce this deliberately? No, as it is not a bug. However it is specific to Cygwin. See the aforementioned announcement. CGF would have to speak to why (and I would appreciate if he would, just because I am curious :-)), but I would guess it is to encourage people to use correct (i.e. POSIX) paths. I guess that was the reason. How disappointing. I always thought that cygwin provided a great service by allowing me to use both windows and posix paths. I'll miss that capability a lot. I don't think any of the Cygwin package maintainers would deliberately break existing functionality for some purist reasons. Besides, there's no need to guess. CGF already stated the reason: maintaining a Cygwin-specific patch to support this functionality has become too cumbersome, and CGF decided that his volunteer effort is better spent doing other, more important things for Cygwin.

RE: Why are Windows paths broken in make 3.81?

However, in all the emails and the ChangeLog, I still can't find an official reason why the change was made in the first place. Was it for technical reasons? And if so, would the Cygwin team accept a patch that readded win32 path support? Or was it for idealistic reasons? Thanks for any replies; I am genuinely curious about the official reason. The official reason, as stated by the maintainer, was that he was tired of maintaining an out-of-tree patch (which is also why it doesn't appear in the official upstream ChangeLog). It's not Cygwin that needs to be patched, it's make. Try making the above pitch to the make maintainers (on the GNU make list or through Savannah -- see http://gnu.org/software/make/). If the vanilla make sources start supporting Win32 paths in Cygwin, with someone else providing and maintaining this functionality upstream, I'm sure the Cygwin make package maintainer will not go out of his way to remove this support.

Re: Problem using ftp with rxvt
On Wed, 26 Jul 2006, Charles D. Russell wrote: When ftp is opened in rxvt, some of the incoming text that should be written to the screen is lost. Simplest example: at shell prompt, enter ftp. One does not get the ftp prompt, but one is indeed running ftp, since if one next types help you get the header for the help screen, with the rest of the help screen missing. Again no ftp prompt, but typing quit gets you back to the bash prompt. type ftp shows that this is using the cygwin ftp, not the windows ftp. ftp works ok from the bash console, and rxvt seems to work ok for capturing local output and for using vim with mark/copy/paste, but ftp and rxvt don't work together. I can't reproduce your problem on my machine (WinXP, Cygwin 1.5.21+). However, I *can* easily reproduce this behavior with the Windows native ftp. Are you sure you're using the Cygwin version of ftp? One way to check is the output of help -- the Cygwin ftp supports the umask and chmod commands, for example, as well as macro definition commands ($ and macdef). I suspect that you're running type ftp from the console bash, and not from rxvt. Note that, by default, rxvt does not start a login shell, so the environment isn't going to be the same as that in the console bash started from cygwin.bat. Try rxvt -e bash -li instead and see if it works better for you. If you are certain that you're using the Cygwin ftp, we need to know more about your Cygwin installation. Please re-read and follow the Cygwin problem reporting guidelines at http://cygwin.com/problems.html, especially the bit about *attaching* the output of cygcheck -svr on your system. For example, there was a problem with program output reported in Cygwin 1.5.20 that was fixed in 1.5.21. My problem is that when I try to get directory information on a remote machine using ftp commands ls or dir, it scrolls off the bash screen faster than I can read it. On Unix, I used the command script to deal with this problem, but there seems to be no script command in cygwin. Au contraire. Try searching for bin/script\b on the Cygwin package search page at http://cygwin.com/packages/. Though I suspect that the Windows native ftp, if you do indeed use that, is going to have similar sorts of problems with script as it does with rxvt. rxvt is the only way I know to capture output before it scrolls away. Without directory information, I can't navigate the remote machine. Or (not Cygwin-related at all), you can go to the window properties of the Cygwin bash shell and set the screen buffer height to some large number ( is what I use, and it's almost always enough).

Read on. it looks like the setup.exe sort method of postinstall scripts is alphabetical by package name, not by postinstall name. I wish we could get a setup.exe that sorted by dependency order instead. Setup *does* sort in dependency order, but there was a bug in script detection that caused setup to fail to associate the scripts with their packages, so all scripts were run in the catch-all clause, which sorted alphabetically. This has also been improved in the recent setup snapshots. I wish we could get a setup.exe release... Brian?

The Java program I write has some embedded C and Fortran source code and therefore requires standard compilers which are absent on XP and Windows2000. Therefore the Java program downloads cygwin setup.exe and launches setup.exe. Before launching setup.exe it tells the user to select the program gnu-make and the compilers for C, C++ and f77 in the devel group. I would prefere if it could select it automatically to enable unattended installation of these software components. Further I want the installation in driveLetter:\cygwin\ because the Java program needs to find the cygwin installation on HD. The only choice the user has to make is the driveLetter. What would be the best way to initiate a tailored installation on a client running my Java program. Cygwin setup.exe supports a variety of command-line options. Googling for cygwin setup command-line options should unearth a list (or run setup --help and examine the file setup.log). You might have better luck with newer setup snapshots (from http://cygwin.com/setup/snapshots). Selecting packages might be a problem in your situation.

Luckily, both /bin/echo and bash's builtin understand the -e option.

You might also Google for genini cygwin. [McGraw, Robert P.] I have looked through the suggested ULR and not finding my answer. I googled genini cygwin, and the perl script pointed me cygwin.com/setup.html, but it is talking about creating software packages. This does not sound like what I need to do. This sounds like exactly what you asked for above. So let me rephrase my question and ask how other people handle this through an example. I need to install the Cygwin/Xserver on multiple machines. I first installed Cygwin Cygwin/X and all necessary and needed packages from a cygwin server to my WinXP test system. Once I have tested and have it working with the right parameters, I now need to install the same software on multiple machines. I would like to create some kind of bundle or selfextracting file that a user can get and install on their WinXP machine. This will be sure that users have what they need to run the Cygwin/Xserver. Creating a self-extracting .exe that installs parts of Cygwin is not a very Cygwin-friendly way of distributing software, as it won't play nicely with existing Cygwin installations (see http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#3PP). The approved way of installing Cygwin is using the setup.exe tool. However, there is a way of doing what you want using setup.exe. Simply create a Cygwin package that contains the right configuration files, add a setup.hint that puts the package in the Base category and requires all the standard packages you've installed, then publish your package on some web site and have your users run Cygwin setup and point it to both a standard mirror and your site. The users will then have all the right packages selected automatically. You might want to have your package initially put the config files somewhere other than their final location (e.g., /etc/defaults), and then have the postinstall script that moves them into the right location (to ensure that the postinstall scripts of all other required packages have completed by the time you do that). If you do it right, the users can later update Cygwin on their machines or install more packages in a standard way. Just make sure there are no clashes of the files actually included in your package with the files included in other package tarballs, otherwise setup will remove your files if the user decides to update those packages later.

Hi all,
Hi. http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#PCYMTWLL. Reading the one-line below
was extremely painful in the web archives. See for yourself:
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-08/msg00169.html.
I am writing a automated build script for my project that will be
run under cygwin. I will copy my updated source files to the build
directory and if there are updated files, the executables will be built.
To copy the source files, I had to use XCOPY since the directory
structure should be preserved in the destination directory also.
Nope, you didn't have to. Something like
(cd $2/.. find $2 -name *.$1 | tar cfT - -) | tar xfC - $3
would do the job of XCOPY /S using POSIX means.
To copy only the updated files, I used the /D switch for XCOPY.
If you go POSIX, you can use the --keep-newer-files tar option.
Now since I want
to execute the source compile only if files in the build directory have
been updated, I have to use the exit codes of XCOPY inside the script. I
tried checking the value of $! after executing XCOPY but it didnt work.
Of course it didn't. Please read a good bash tutorial, or the Special
Parameters section of the bash manpage.
I couldn't find a solution in the internet too. Currently I am piping
the standard output to a file and checking if the number of files copied
is 0 or not. But I think this is not an elegant solution. This is what I
am doing now.
[script]
copied=false
# Helper Function
copy_files()
{
echo copying *.$1 files in $2 to $3\\$2
xcopy /DSYI $2\\*.$1 $3\\$2 | tee copy.log
while read amount ; do
if [ ${amount::1} != 0 ]; then
copied=true;
fi
done copy.log
}
cd ../source
copy_files h. ..\\build
copy_files c. ..\\build
copy_files cpp . ..\\build
rm -f copy.log
! $copied echo Files up-to-date. Skipping build exit 0
cd ../build
# Start the Build Process
[/script]
Can you please provide me a way of checking the XCOPY exit code:
reference
[http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/xcopy.mspx?mfr=true]
within Bash?
It's just like checking any other exit code in bash: reference man bash.

Igor

This is so that I can test my code before I do the actual check in. As David said, cvs has an easy way of doing this (using cvs diff and patch), which will also deal with local and checked in changes to the same file (while your method won't). To Igor, Your method worked perfectly for paths with spaces too. :) It was designed to. :-) Now if only I had a way of detecting if files were updated or not. Did you happen to notice the mention of the --keep-newer-files tar option in my original reply to you? Just add that to the last tar, and you will only copy the files that were changed in your copy (presumably by you) after the checked in version. To Mark I tried it again. Unfortunately echo $? gives 0 for both the cases of, number of files copied = 0 and, greater than 0. The link I posted from MSDN http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/xcopy.mspx?mfr=true says that XCOPY returns 1 when there were no files to be copied. MSDN apparently lies. XCOPY for me returns non-zero on error, and 0 on normal execution (no matter how many files were copied). So I guess I am back to square one. :( There are quite a few POSIX and Unix tools that are much better for this job than xcopy. I'd say investing some time in a Unix tutorial now would save you more effort in the long run.

If so, that would be a packaging issue. OTOH, a quick scan through the package listing for cygwin ruby doesn't show any postinstall script that could have done that, so I'm not so sure if the report is accurate: I think you've probably put your finger on it. FWIW, a postinstall script cannot set an environment variable -- it would have to be set in an /etc/profile.d script.

Re: Tweaking Setup.exe's UI
On Fri, 11 Aug 2006, Lee Maschmeyer wrote: I've seen some mention of making the Cygwin installer more Windows-like. While this is by no means agreed upon as a goal, I believe it wouldn't take very many changes to achieve. As someone who has been trying to write some code to do exactly that for the past year (in my copious spare time, of course), I can state with confidence that your belief is wrong. I'm blind and obviously can't speak for sighted people, but I can tell you how most of us blinks work most of the time and we can see how many of you get distressed. :-) [snip description of the Windows Explorer detail view] IMHO, pop-ups for clipped items should be avoided; hence the display area on the bottom line should be as long as possible. Would this give everybody the information they need? Would the format be at least as convenient as the current one? Would anything be lost? Let me clarify my sentence above. While it looks like there wouldn't be too many *visual* changes in the code (except for the ability to use keyboard shortcuts and access the values of all string fields at the Windows level), there is a mountain of code that would need to be rewritten to achieve this effect (i.e., use standard Windows controls). What you seem to overlook (sorry for the puns) is the fact that the package selection logic is currently very tightly intertwined with the custom graphical code that displays the package selection lists. Decoupling those two bits of functionality would be the first step in the direction of having a more Windows-standard and accessibility-friendly setup tool. I've been (slowly) working on just such a design for the past year or so. Searching the archives of the cygwin-apps list should bring up many a discussion of how this could be done and what the final interface would be. Let me just say that the actual key mappings and the visual layout are the easiest things to tweak once the base design is in place. Unless someone steps in with a patch that does the above, I, for one, am going to be ignoring or angrily responding to any statements of the form it seems to me that it would be very easy and would not take too many changes...
