[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: grace-5.1.24-1
The following package has been updated for the Cygwin distribution: *** grace-5.1.24-1 Grace is a WYSIWYG tool to make two-dimensional plots of numerical data. Its capabilities are roughly similar to GUI-based programs like Sigmaplot or Microcal Origin plus script-based tools like Gnuplot or Genplot. Its strength lies in the fact that it combines the convenience of a graphical user interface with the power of a scripting language which enables it to do sophisticated calculations or perform automated tasks. This is an update to the latest stable upstream release, built with libpng16. -- Yaakov -- 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/

Grace broken in latest Cygwin /Xfree version
Starting with a completely new installation from Cygwin I cannot get Grace to work - no window pops up. I've tried installing another X-server (Xming) instead, but the result is the same. Any ideas??

Installing Grace package
Please, help. I have installed Cygwin/X, INCLUDING grace package to set up a Windows Workstation to do molecular modeling analysis. Cygwin bash shell and XWin.exe are working. For example, I can create a screen by typing in BASH txt 'console' xwin.exe -screens 0 600 600. However when I enter xmgrace, am getting ERROR message Can't open display - Failed initializing GUI, exiting. Do I need to get 12 mandatory files (apparently only 11 for Cygwin) from Xfree86 and run installation using sh xinstall OR this will be redundant/conflicting/overlapping to/with what was done by installation of xorg-x11-base other xorg- packages from Cygwin.com? Before I have tried a commercial X Server (XVision Eclipse) installed after Cygwin w grace, but ERROR persisted. Is ERROR related to a possibility that something related to TCP/IP is taking/redirecting 127.0.0.1.0:0 ? I can try to repeat all installations on another, Windows 2000 Pro PC Workstation, which has never 'seen' any network, Internet, and thus firewalls, etc sources of crap. What is 'the best' way to do so ? Just to repeat a Local Installation of Cygwin/X including grace from downloaded packages ? OR to install first a commercial X Server - then what Cygwin packages besides grace ? I prefer not to deal with source codes and compilations, in a hope that binaries should work. Any other way around ? I found a compact, 'Evgeny's' compilation of grace with all required dlls and other files, including .bat. My understanding is that it may work if I have just an X Server running (and I can have TCP/IP protocol on a standard Windows 2000 Dell Precision, without connecting to any 'private networks' etc sources of kaka possibly conflicting with the display address 127.0.0.1.0:0 - right?), but am not sure I have done everything right with .bat to configure the system properly. I don't understand what Evgeny's stack running means. Can anyone redirect me to Evgeny. SOS...
Re: Installing Grace package
Hi Andrey, I have installed Cygwin/X, INCLUDING grace package to set up a Windows Workstation to do molecular modeling analysis. Cygwin bash shell and XWin.exe are working. For example, I can create a screen by typing in BASH txt 'console' xwin.exe -screens 0 600 600. However when I enter xmgrace, am getting ERROR message Can't open display - Failed initializing GUI, exiting. Yes, because you have to tell grace, like every other X program, which display to use. Try: $ export DISPLAY=:0 and then start xmgrace. Do I need to get 12 mandatory files (apparently only 11 for Cygwin) from Xfree86 and run installation using sh xinstall OR this will be redundant/conflicting/overlapping to/with what was done by installation of xorg-x11-base other xorg- packages from Cygwin.com? Before I have tried a commercial X Server (XVision Eclipse) installed after Cygwin w grace, but ERROR persisted. I have no clue what you are talking about, but I can confirm that grace works fine with a commercial X Server (I sometimes use XWin32) for me. But you have to have lesstif and some other libraries, and that means install what setup proposes for you when you select grace.

Dear Volker Q, Volker Z, and anyone else involved: I just build grace 5.1.14 with lesstif 0.93.94 and your XmHTML package. Works and looks beautiful. Would it be possible to release an updated Grace (and lesstif, if necessary)? Thanks in advance.

Hi Jack, Dear Volker Q, Volker Z, and anyone else involved: I just build grace 5.1.14 with lesstif 0.93.94 and your XmHTML package. Works and looks beautiful. Would it be possible to release an updated Grace (and lesstif, if necessary)? lesstif is already released (as a test version, use setup to install it.) I could also provide a grace test version, but I thought it would be nice to use XmHTML for the new version. I cannot do that until XmHTML is accepted as official cygwin package, test version or not. *Hint to all package maintainers*: XmHTML is reviewed and good-to-go, but one more vote is needed! If XmHTML doesn't get that vote soon I'll produce a grace test version, again with lynx as help viewer.

It compiled for me (including DLLs) almost out of the box. I did make the
following change to lesstif-0.93.91-6.sh. I am not sure that the change
was required, because I did not try without it. But, it felt like a
better idea to me :^D.
In the prep rule, remove all the autotool stuff between:
touch INSTALL \
and
rm -f INSTALL )
replacing it simply with:
autoreconf --install --force \
so it reads:
prep() {
(cd ${topdir} \
tar xv${opt_decomp}f ${src_orig_pkg} ; \
cd ${topdir} \
patch -p0 ${src_patch}
mkdirs ) \
(cd ${srcdir} \
touch INSTALL \
autoreconf --install --force \
rm -f INSTALL )
}
To do a debug build, just look at the target all:
all) prep conf build install \
strip pkg spkg finish ; \
STATUS=$? ;;
and do everything but the strip step.
Let me know if this doesn't work for you.

RE: non-widget child DropSiteManager error (WAS: RE: Grace (xmgrace) 5.1.12-1 ... )
To ask a simple question: When are the dll supposed to get created during the build/install process? *duh* okay -- I did not look in the *-announce archives. But I did see this same text in the lesstif.README of the distribution. Maybe I did not understand it... I interpret these points (Port notes) as referring to things that Harold has already done for this version, not something that the user has to do. Is this incorrect? It seemed to work for Harold anyways, he has generated a package. Why are you trying to build it yourself? Obviously I must be a masochist with a need to waste time. :-D See the following reference for some details: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2003-10/msg00401.html Okay, that explains something. Did you make sure that this step from Harold's lesstif announcement worked? No, in fact I am sorry but I still don't understand what you are asking. I do have the up-to-date build tools, as of that day that Harold posted 0.93.91-6 , unless I am completely missign something. There were no complaints from the confiure/build script though. dlltool is installed, the command for creating dll seems to be located in ltmain.sh , I don't see any messages saying that it failed. I just don't get dll's How should one 'check if (all these steps) worked'? I would expect it to fail with certain messages if it didn't work. Is there any other step *necessary* besides: 1 change the script to have --enable-debug --enable-shared --disable-static flags 2 ./lesstif-0.93.91-6.sh prep 3 ./lesstif-0.93.91-6.sh conf 4 ./lesstif-0.93.91-6.sh build 5 ./lesstif-0.93.91-6.sh install 6 then using the result in the .install directory? I used ./lesstif-0.93.91-6.sh all the first time I tried it, with identical results (except I had to untarbz the results, and debug was not enabled) I have not looked into creating a setup.ini, is this where the .dll get created? Or to ask a very uncomplicated question: When are the dll supposed to get created in the build/install process? Given this information I may be able to see why it is not happening on my system. I am going to move this question to the top of this message so maybe people will see it instead of having to read down to this point!

RE: non-widget child DropSiteManager error (WAS: RE: Grace (xmgrace) 5.1.12-1 ... )
Well, I believe that something like 'You have to directly edit the package.sh script in order to alter the configuration options, which are passed to the configure script, such as --enable-debug or --enable/disable-static' would/should be included there. Also since ./configure --help ususally provides information about what options/environment variables are available or used, and the Cygwin build script makes this step essentially opaque to the user, I feel that the responsibility for providing this also gets transferred to the Cygwin build script. Perhaps the 'help' function would also simply call the configure script for the package and echo back the help options from it. I will see if I can do this at least before sending a patch to the address you mention. I though you meant 'what does documentation mean', like very sarcastic! Method 2 link: I see what you mean, and I did glance at this before -- but not in great detail because it is mostly about how to create the package but not much about how to use the package once it is created. In the 'canned instructions' it only mentions using the 'all' option , it does not mention the sub-options such as prep, build,conf ... only because Harold mentioned it did I get the idea that these other options exist.

RE: non-widget child DropSiteManager error (WAS: RE: Grace (xmgrace) 5.1.12-1 ... )
Dear Brian and other list people: Why am I trying to build it myself? Because the distributed package (0-93-91-5) seems to cause another problem, even the version that Harold Hunt patched (0.93.91-6) using Danny Backx's fix for the bug I encounterd a few months ago, and have no idea why it still crashes. I cannot find out in any more detail unless I run with a debug-compiled version. Is there another way to get a debug-compiled version other than building it myself? Harold's test-version of 0.93.94 seems to have this problem (non-widget etc.) (if it really is from lesstif) and he says it causes problems with nedit as well, so it is not a true release. But I am building a 0.93.91-6 without changes (at first) just to find out exactly where the crash is coming from, but get this (different) problem. Please see the archived thread on 'Grace (xmgrace) 5.1.12-1 ...

That is essentially what I was asking in the first place! However I followed Harold's directions exactly without trying to patch it or even debug it (at first) and I have this problem. How do I distinguish whether it is not 'properly built' or not 'properly updated'? Which is the problem? Can you provide details on what constitutes a 'properly updated' lesstif? I got the source from 0.93.91-6 (one line different from 0.93.91-5) Can you build xmgrace from source and then get the axis properties dialog box (double click an axis) to open without crashing?

I tried some other ways of getting the librarys included (before I settled on this way) with identical results.

It has both --enable-static and --enable-shared in there, does one override the other? I do not get the dll. I am trying again with the --enable-static removed ; or do you actually have to specify --disable-static? Is this documented somewhere?

No. Windows requires all symbols to be defined at link time. Xt/Xm/Xaw3d all depend on more *nix like behavior and expect to override symbols at run time.

Thanks again Harold -- This is getting to be a steadily decreasing priority for me so don't rush to solve my problems at the expense of those interviews. I can easily transfer the data to a Linux box and use my patched Grace from there to get the tick marks -- at this point the only reason to pursue this is to learn how, maybe I can even locate the bug ( with a little help) ... I imagine that several other people also know the answers to these questions as they are getting more general. I have had no problem doing the same things on a Linux box, so it seems that it is the differences between Linux (Red Hat 9, Red Hat 8, and Slackware 8.1) and Cygwin that are messing me up. You need at least the following packages to build grace and lesstif: fontconfig libfontconfig1 libfontconfig-devel XFree86-prog Harold I have those, but I cannot figure out how to get Configure to pick them up. That is, I can compile the little test routine (as used by configure to test the M*tif installation) from the command line by including all the -l flags for these libraries directly but graceversion/configure always fails because it is not including those flags. ( I figured this out since last time I posted here...the libraries were all there,somewhere, just not referenced by -l flags ) -lXft -lfontconfig -lXrender in addition to those mentioned by default I tried adding them in the environment variable LDFLAGS but that didn't work either -- possibly they are in the wrong order. The LDFLAGS seems to get put before the -I flags and before the other libraries. Is there some cygwin equvalent of ldconfig or ld.so.conf that I am missing out here? Or does the grace-version/configure script need some changes to use a compiled LessTif instead of packaged binaries? (this is what I will probably try next) I have had some confusion in the past about this, on Cygwin certain libraries getting automatically referenced .. when does a library not explicitly referenced by a -l flag get automatically referenced? --Robert -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Harold L Hunt II Sent: 16 January 2004 20:41 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Grace (xmgrace) 5.1.12-1 graph program -- building under cygwin -- possibly LessTif bug from 0.93.91 ?

I could just recreate your crash, it said cygXm-2.dll is missing. After installing lesstif it works. I'm sorry for that, I'll report to cygwin-apps now and add the dependency to the setup.hint file. Besides this small problem xmgrace seems to work. For me.

If the bug is in the LessTif function and the (shared object? dll?) is the buggy one, shouldn't it crash? Can you describe what crash you are seeing?

Sorry, I guess you missed the more detailed description, gdb backtraces, etc? I shouldn't have change the subject to BACKTRACE: When certain dialog boxes are opened, including (but not only) 'Plot|Axis properties ...' the program crashes. Opening some other boxes eg 'Plot|Plot appearance ... ' does not cause the crash. Double-clicking the axis causes the crash. The console in which it was running reports that it got SIGSYS and says it may have something to do with the graphic (but I think that is because the signal numbers are different? GDB says it gets SIGSEGV segmentation fault) The back trace with 5-1-12-1 rebuilt with debug (-g) is copied below. But LessTif seems not to have been build with -g and I am having trouble building this myself. The same behaviour occurs with the new 5-1-14 package and the new LessTif-0-93-91-6 , so my guess that it was the same bug in XGetCValues that I encountered in November may be totally wrong. Which LessTif did you install and get it to work? Did you try opening some dialog boxes or just start the test routine? The test routine works because it never opens those dialog boxes. --Robert Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x10032103 in cygX11-6!XGetGCValues () from /usr/X11R6/bin/cygX11-6.dll (gdb) bt #0 0x10032103 in cygX11-6!XGetGCValues () from /usr/X11R6/bin/cygX11-6.dll #1 0x00773946 in cygXm-2!_XmArrowBG_TraitAddCallback () from /usr/X11R6/bin/cygXm-2.dll #2 0x009f5ecc in cygXt-6!XtSetSensitive () from /usr/X11R6/bin/cygXt-6.dll #3 0x009f64cb in cygXt-6!XtSetValues () from /usr/X11R6/bin/cygXt-6.dll #4 0x00a09fb8 in cygXt-6!XtVaSetValues () from /usr/X11R6/bin/cygXt-6.dll #5 0x0047f6ab in _fu59___XmStrings () at motifutils.c:734 #6 0x004aaeae in create_axes_dialog (axisno=-1) at tickwin.c:212 #7 0x004aa6f2 in create_axes_dialog_cb (data=0x0) at tickwin.c:135 #8 0x0047fddc in button_int_cb_proc (w=0x1013d098, client_data=0x1013d500, call_data=0x22f8c0) at motifutils.c:962 #9 0x009d26b3 in cygXt-6!XtCallCallbackList () from /usr/X11R6/bin/cygXt-6.dll #10 0x007d0377 in cygXm-2!XmSetWMProtocolHooks () #11 0x00a06f41 in cygXt-6!_XtMatchAtom () from /usr/X11R6/bin/cygXt-6.dll #12 0x00a073e9 in cygXt-6!_XtMatchAtom () from /usr/X11R6/bin/cygXt-6.dll #13 0x00a0797b in cygXt-6!_XtTranslateEvent () from /usr/X11R6/bin/cygXt-6.dll #14 0x009e0165 in cygXt-6!XtDispatchEventToWidget () from /usr/X11R6/bin/cygXt-6.dll #15 0x009e0c6f in cygXt-6!_XtOnGrabList () from /usr/X11R6/bin/cygXt-6.dll #16 0x009e0ebf in cygXt-6!XtDispatchEvent () from /usr/X11R6/bin/cygXt-6.dll #17 0x009e13e4 in cygXt-6!XtAppMainLoop () from /usr/X11R6/bin/cygXt-6.dll #18 0x004b7006 in _fu1053__XtShellStrings () at xmgrace.c:1187 #19 0x00403b5f in main (argc=1, argv=0x100f2538) at main.c:717 (gdb) Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Volker Quetschke Sent: 16 January 2004 15:21 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Grace (xmgrace) 5.1.12-1 graph program -- building under cygwin -- possibly LessTif bug from 0.93.91 ? Hi! 0.93.91-6 - Nope. doesn't work. Since I had to go looking for a mirror with newer updates (mirror.ac.uk doesn't have the new stuff yet) I also found a newer build of Grace, 5.1.14-1 and the stock install crashes (where the old one did not) The internal help shows it was built with 0.93.91 Yes, I made the package yesterday, and I didn't write an announcement yet. I could just recreate your crash, it said cygXm-2.dll is missing. After installing lesstif it works. I'm sorry for that, I'll report to cygwin-apps now and add the dependency to the setup.hint file. Besides this small problem xmgrace seems to work. For me. Something I would really like to understand: why should the 5.1.12 build with the older LessTif NOT crash when running with the newer LessTif libraries installed? If the bug is in the LessTif function and the (shared object? dll?) is the buggy one, shouldn't it crash? Can you describe what crash you are seeing? It doesn't sound like an alert box saying a dll is missing.

Re: Grace (xmgrace) 5.1.12-1 graph program -- building under cygwin -- possibly LessTif bug from 0.93.91 ?
Robert, I should clarify that when I applied the patch by hand, I did not touch the revision tags (didn't really need to). Here is the difference I applied: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/lesstif/lesstif/lib/Xm/SeparatoG.c?r1=1.24r2=1.26 Volker said that grace was built with static libs, which is why there is no difference from upgrading to the 0.93.91 build (it doesn't use the DLLs). You build lesstif as follows: 1) cd /usr/src 2) ./lesstif-0.93.94-1.sh prep 3) ./lesstif-0.93.94-1.sh conf conf.log 21 4) ./lesstif-0.93.94-1.sh build build.log 21 5) ./lesstif-0.93.94-1.sh install install.log 21 6) ./lesstif-0.93.94-1.sh strip 7) ./lesstif-0.93.94-1.sh pkg 8) ./lesstif-0.93.94-1.sh spkg You will then have a new lesstif package that you can install by creating a new setup.ini file. You'll have to ask or search for help on that. You will need some scripts called upset to do this. Harold
RE: Grace (xmgrace) 5.1.12-1 graph program -- building under cygwin -- possibly LessTif bug from 0.93.91 ?
Thanks for the info. I am guessing that these stages are all rolled into
{package}.sh all
Is my problem something else entirely??? I think perhaps it is.
The problem is: when I configure Grace it exits on
Error: M*tif has not been found.
Looking at config.log, there are several 'undefined reference' errors
from libXm.a that seem to have something to do with fonts eg.
_FcPatternCreate
_XftFontOpenPattern
_XftFontClose
So it IS fiding libXm.a, but not certain other libraries needed by this
library. I am guessing that Xft* functions are in libXft,
I have cygXft-[12].dll and libXft-[12].dll.a located in
/usr/X11R6/[bin,lib] , but no *.a version of these librarys, is this the
problem? How can configure locate/use these correctly?
Thanks!
Robert
You build lesstif as follows:
1) cd /usr/src
2) ./lesstif-0.93.94-1.sh prep
3) ./lesstif-0.93.94-1.sh conf conf.log 21
4) ./lesstif-0.93.94-1.sh build build.log 21
5) ./lesstif-0.93.94-1.sh install install.log 21
6) ./lesstif-0.93.94-1.sh strip
7) ./lesstif-0.93.94-1.sh pkg
8) ./lesstif-0.93.94-1.sh spkg
You will then have a new lesstif package that you can install by
creating a new setup.ini file. You'll have to ask or search for help on
that. You will need some scripts called upset to do this.

Oh, and your line to install manually via tar is missing a -C /:
tar xjf -C / lesstif-0.93.91-6.tar.bz2
I think that will tell it to extract in the root of your Cygwin
installation so the files will go to the correct place.

In fact, it took about 8 hours; granted, probably 4 of that was for making clean ups that the lesstif package has needed for a long time. I built lesstif-0.93.94, but it doesn't work well. nedit crashes when opening file dialogs. I'm trying a rebuild of it now to see if having 0.93.91 installed while building 0.93.94 was causing problems. The alternative solution I came up with was to apply the patch for the bug number you listed to my 0.93.91 source. That seems to be stable. However, you'll have to report whether it fixes your bug or not. I am going to post my 0.93.94 package as a 'test' release, even if it does not work. I will do this so that others can download the source package and see if they can get it to work. I am not going to look into it any further. If someone gets it working and sends me clean patches, I will release it. If not, I won't release it. We will just have to wait until their is another clean lesstif release that happens to be stable on Cygwin and with nedit. Hope that helps, Harold
