 After the ld core dump, when I delete the corrupted xemacs.exe from
 /cygdrive/d/misc/src/release/xemacs-21.4.22-2.i686/build/src manually
 and restart the build with make from the
 /cygdrive/d/misc/src/release/xemacs-21.4.22-2.i686/build directory
 again, the build actually succeeds and ld doesn't core dump
 anymore.

I don't see this segfault.  I am running the default version of gcc,
and I assume you are, too.  Perhaps you need to rebaseall?

Your build path is ...xemacs-21.4.22... are you sure you're using
21.4.23 sources?

 Additionally I had to use an older version of texinfo (namely
 version 4.13) otherwise the build breaks when generating the .info files
 (I got the information to use an older version from Vin Shelton).

Yes, the texinfo incompatibilities is one reason I want to EOL 21.4.
An alternative approach for Cygwin would be to patch the .texi sources
to work with newer texinfos.


 I then installed everything and with my current setup xemacs crashed as
 soon as font-locking is involved. The current 32 bit xemacs-21.4.22
 version works fine with this setup. After googling around I found a
 workaround by setting (setq progress-feedback-use-echo-area t) in my
 .emacs.

This error should be fixed in 21.4.23, there's a new
configure.in/configure designed to prevent this.  Again - are you sure
you're using 21.4.23?

 So, the good news finally after 6 years !!! it seems I have a working
 xemacs on 32 bit which runs on cygwin 1.7.x. Of course I will need to do
 more testing.

 The bad news, an automatic build via cygport is currently not possible 
 because:

 1. cygport's compile stage bails out after the ld core dump
 2. the current xemacs version needs an older version of texinfo (4.13)
than we have currently in the distribution (5.2-3)

 Question: How shall I proceed ?

 Can you define not function a bit more detailed?  Does no process work

M-x shell is specifically designed to spawn an interactive process

Here is the output of ps for that process:

I think it's only commands requiring a tty, but that's the whole point
of M-x shell mode.  There is a separate command - M-x shell-command -
which is designed to run and capture the output of individual commands
like ls or echo.  That works fine.

BTW, if I try to spawn gdb as a shell, the behavior is similar, but
this time the process looks like this:

You mean a simpler test case than XEmacs?  That seems like a low bar.  :-)

I'll try.  Meanwhile, I've been looking at the emacs code (which in
this case is simpler) to see if I can figure out how it is that M-x
shell works there.

 LOL.

After thinking about this for awhile, it dawned on me that the problem
is not with setsid() per se, but rather with the sequence of events
_following_ the setsid() call.  That is, setsid() causes some of the
ensuing ioctl() (or similar) calls that set up the pty to fail.

I think I have verified this behavior - I restored the old sysdep.c
module and moved the disconnect_controlling_terminal() call [which
calls setsid()] from right after the fork() to just before the exec()
call and M-x shell works on Cygwin as it always has on linux.

I will endeavor to create a STC for Cygwin that includes all the code
involved in setting up the terminal so we can experiment with moving
the setsid() call between the beginning and the end of the function.

Cygwin Subprocesses on XEmacs

2015-01-27 Thread Vin Shelton
I spent some time debugging M-x shell in XEmacs on 32-bit Cygwin.
Here's what I found out.

In the child after fork() but before exec(), the setsid() call in
disconnect_controlling_terminal() is causing the subprocess not to
function after it gets spawned.

Here is a patch which works around the problem, enabling M-x shell to
work for bash and zsh (at least):

 A process can break this association by changing its process
 group using setpgrp(2).

Since Cygwin doesn't seem to have TIOCNOTTY, commenting out the

disconnect_controlling_terminal (void)
{
# 1330 sysdep.c
  setpgid (0, 0);
# 1362 sysdep.c

Incidentally, that setpgid() call causes bash to complain at startup:

bash: cannot set terminal process group (-1): Inappropriate ioctl for device
bash: no job control in this shell

  I think the problem is that Status is used in

 Any simple fix/workaround  for this ?

Thanks for pointing this out.  It dawned on me yesterday that the
reason I didn't see these problems is because I don't build with X
support on Cygwin.  Once I configured in X support, I saw these errors
and a few others.  It took me awhile to work out the right changes to
make, but I have checked changes into the XEmacs 21.4 mercurial
repository that enable XEmacs 21.4 to build under Cygwin with X
support.

One problem remains - Xaw3d support does not work, so I removed that
from the configure line.  The problem I found was that XEmacs seemed
to be expecting version 8 of Xaw3d, but Cygwin supplies version 7.

I still plan to release 21.4.23 in the near future, but I would
recommend making an updated XEmacs 21.4 kit before that point.

A few thoughts:

1. You need to use the most recent XEmacs sources from mercurial.

2. You must have an old version of libpng installed, because 21.4.22
won't compile with the newer libpng (some structure members are
hidden).

3. You will also need to add:

#define stricmp strcasecmp

to src/s/cygwin32.h

4. I will review the contents of xemacs-21.4.22-1.src.patch and
promote at least your developer info and the above stricmp hack to the

Yes.  I am the XEmacs stable (21.4) build maintainer and make the

Well XEmacs 21.4 is based on autoconf 2.13 and 21.5 is based on autoconf

Fair enough.

For the record, attached is a patch against CVS head.  This patch
allows overriding the individual components of the default configure
arguments in the cygconf() function.  In addition, I fixed some minor
typos in README unrelated to the cygconf() change; you may find those
useful in their own right.

BTW, your ChangeLog format is different from what I'm used to; I'm used to
including an identifier of who made the change.  See
http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Change-Logs.html for details.

Thanks again for cygport.

  Vin Shelton
