Is there cygwin port of docbook?
Hi, guys! I'm wondering whether there is cygwin port of docbook. I want to use it in my office, but I don't wanna bother to install a whole Linux OS just in order to use docbook. TIA Yang Guilong

Jason, your rebase depends on the ms imagehelp library, isn't it.
Not anymore:

We are partners in crime now. :,)
The attached patch solves the SEGV problem.
Your guard:
(char *)relocp (char *)relocs + size
wasn't tight enough.
My version:
(char *)relocp-SizeOfBlock (char *)relocs + size
seems to be.
Did I break anything with this patch?
Thanks,

multiwindow mode
I've started to find that a lot of the X apps we use in our company actually work better in multiwindow mode. For example, one application we have was practically unusable before because some of the pop up windows it opened were greater in size than the desktop, and these windows didn't have scrollbars either. Despite changing the window properties in my window manager (windowmaker) they still got oversized. Now with multiwindow mode, the window behaviour is much better. Can someone explain that to me please?! What makes me slightly nervous though is that so many of my customers want to use multiwindow mode yet this is still relatively new and development on it seems to have slowed down recently. Anyway the main reason I've written is because in multiwindow mode the window resizing doesn't always work as expected, and also I have one particular problem where the window menu bars (on the pop up windows) are placed just above the desktop so I have to resize the window to get at them. Has anyone else seen that? Would really like to get a fix for that if anyone can help. Thanks, JS. Is this the impression you get that most xfree users now are running in multiwindow mode? Also is there still development going on with multiwindows mode or has that come to a halt for some reason now? I only ask since I haven't seen quite so many emails on it lately.

FW: file manager xfm, or similar for xfree86 under cygwin
Hello, I am trying to locate a graphical file manager for Xfree86 running under cygwin I have tried to compile xfm 1.4.3 and got it working under xfree86 under cygwin, but it does not allow access to non cygwin directories. It complains saying Directory is Unreadable. /cygdrive doesn't show up in the root, so I created a symlink with: ln -s /cygdrive/c /cygdrivec I'm guessing it has trouble following a symlink from /cydrivec to /cygdrive/c/ Can anyone suggest a working file manager? Thanks. If anyone wants the Imake.options I can post or email. Does anyone know where I can find a compiled binary for xfm or a similar client. I don't want to have to install the kde files or xfce. My plan is to use cygwin / xfree86 via ssh to do remote support of windows machines. Thanks for any help.
Re: multiwindow mode
JS, Applications can have problems reading information about the screen size (which comes from the X Server itself) or understanding the Window Manager hints about the size of the window borders, etc. Those problems could be because the author of those applications did not pay enough attention to making sure that their app works with multiple X Servers and Window Manager; rather, they may have checked it with one X Server and with one Window Manager and just assumed that they implemetned everything correctly. Thus, certain X Server and certain Window Managers may exhibit problems in the application that are not apparent on other platforms. With all of that being said, it is also entirely possible that there is something wrong with Cygwin/XFree86's X Server or with our Multi-Window Window Manager. The Multi-Window Window Manager (MWWM) was developed by Kensuke Matsuzaki. I have no idea what his schedule is like, but I know that he said he could not finish the entire MWWM on his own and that he would appreciate some help. I would not say that the MWWM is done by any means. I would also not assume that most users are using it since the default startup scripts do not use invoke it. I cannot switch us to using the MWWM until someone sits down with the code and is able to tell me that it implements most of what a window manager should implement. I am thinking mostly about window manager hints here; I don't think the MWWM implements them at all, though I could be mistaken. You mention that you have customers. Having customers implies to me that it might be worth *your* while to spend a little of your own time on the MWWM. Think about it, if you are going to benefit from the MWWM being more stable, then shouldn't you be contributing to making it more stable? On the other hand, you could contact Kensuke and see if he will setup a tip jar so that you (or anyone else) can donate some money to him to encourage him to work on the MWWM. The current list of Cygwin/XFree86 developers with a donations page is at: http://xfree86.cygwin.com/donations.html However, I am currently the only developer that has setup such a page. I strongly recommend that people ask Kensuke to setup a tip jar. Well, I hope that helps. I could give you one of my old analogies about how I am not going to drop my beer to run inside and code on Cygwin/XFree86, but I think you get the point that not much is going to happen unless people make it happen.

Write a script which reads the content of the symlink, then removes the
old one and eventually recreates it. The resulting symlink will have the
appropriate format according to the CYGWIN env. var. Sth like this
for i in `find / -type l`
do

New install, script execution, bad interpreter
I recently re-installed cygwin. The install went well but I have one problem concerning executing scripts. I usually use the perl that comes with cygwin but for some work I need ActiveState modules and I have a script that will call ActiveState as outlined by Mark Parris http://www.cs.unc.edu/~jeffay/dirt/FAQ/cygwin-perl.html This is a bash script (starts with #!/bin/bash) and resides at /usr/local/bin/perl. To call ActiveState I start a script with #!/usr/local/bin/perl rather that #!/usr/local/perl. This has all worked very well untill the re-install. Now when I call active state I get (using the script testAS): bash: ./testAS: /usr/local/bin/perl: bad interpreter: No such file or directory I've check a number of things. The scripts are all unix, dos2unix has no effect. Running a simple bash script works fine, althought ?? if I move the script to my bin directory and back it will not work. cyg testSH bash cyg mv testSH ./bin cyg testSH bash cyg mv ./bin/testSH . cyg testSH bash: /home/jmapoles/bin/testSH: No such file or directory cyg Thanks for any help, John Mapoles __ Do you Yahoo!?

If the name is neither a shell function nor a builtin, and contains no slashes, Bash searches each element of `$PATH' for a directory containing an executable file by that name. Bash uses a hash table to remember the full pathnames of executable files to avoid multiple `PATH' searches (see the description of `hash' in *Note Bourne Shell Builtins::). A full search of the directories in `$PATH' is performed only if the command is not found in the hash table. If the search is unsuccessful, the shell prints an error message and returns an exit status of 127. [...] What this means is that, when you run your little shell script (without specifying where it is) Bash looks for it in the PATH, and puts it in an internal hash. If you then move your script, the hash will not be up-to-date but it will look in there anyway. If it doesn't exist where it expects tp find it = error This is all you need to know about the hash built-in command: `hash' hash [-'r] [-p FILENAME] [-dt] [NAME] Remember the full pathnames of commands specified as NAME arguments, so they need not be searched for on subsequent invocations. The commands are found by searching through the directories listed in `$PATH'. The `-p' option inhibits the path search, and FILENAME is used as the location of NAME. The `-r' option causes the shell to forget all remembered locations. The `-d' option causes the shell to forget the remembered location of each NAME. If the `-t' option is supplied, the full pathname to which each NAME corresponds is printed. If multiple NAME arguments are supplied with `-t' the NAME is printed before the hashed full pathname. The `-l' option causes output to be displayed in a format that may be reused as input. If no arguments are given, or if only `-l' is supplied, information about remembered commands is printed. The return status is zero unless a NAME is not found or an invalid option is supplied. Hence, when I try your little experiment and type $ hash -l it shows me where I put the script and when I try to launch it, I get the same error as you do. Doing $ hash -r will make it find your original script again. As for your missing /usr/local/bin/perl interpreter: WAG you probably put the perl wrapper script there when you started out, it got lost, so you'll have to put it there again /WAG Good luck! rlc -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
RE: New install, script execution, bad interpreter
First you'll want to look at http://cygwin.com/bugs.html. The output of cygcheck as mentioned there (among other things) will likely be quite helpful in understanding your installation. Pay particular attention to your mount points and types (text vs binary). If this doesn't help you determine the problem, send this as directed by http://cygwin.com/bugs.html with your script and where you're running it from to the list. That may be enough context for someone here to see where you're going wrong.

The install went well but I have one problem concerning executing scripts. I usually use the perl that comes with cygwin but for some work I need ActiveState modules and I have a script that will call ActiveState as outlined by Mark Parris http://www.cs.unc.edu/~jeffay/dirt/FAQ/cygwin-perl.html This is a bash script (starts with #!/bin/bash) and resides at /usr/local/bin/perl. To call ActiveState I start a script with #!/usr/local/bin/perl rather that #!/usr/local/perl. This has all worked very well untill the re-install.

RE: cygpath bug in version 1.25 -- Fundamental Change in the Behaviour of Cygpath
If this change is what is desired by the majority, that is fine. BUT, it should have been made clear that the fundamental behaviour of cygpath had changed. I have many scripts that no longer work. Even the jakarata ant tool's start-up script now mangles the classpath because of this change in behaviour. At least with version 1.21 (and I believe through 1.24, just glancing through the CVS history), the behaviour was always as follows: cygpath --path --unix $UNIX_CLASSPATH returns UNIX_CLASSPATH cygpath --path --unix $DOS_CLASSPATH return UNIX_CLASSPATH cygpath --path --windows $UNIX_CLASSPATH returns DOS_CLASSPATH cygpath --path --windows $DOS_CLASSPATH returns DOS_CLASSPATH Now the behaviour is as follows: cygpath --path --unix $UNIX_CLASSPATH returns a truncated UNIX_CLASSPATH if it is too long cygpath --path --unix $DOS_CLASSPATH return UNIX_CLASSPATH cygpath --path --windows $UNIX_CLASSPATH returns DOS_CLASSPATH cygpath --path --windows $DOS_CLASSPATH returns a garbled DOS_CLASSPATH regardless of length (e.g. the path is transformed from C:/home/build to C;c:/home/build We no longer have the option to run a classpath of unknown format through cgypath to make sure it is in a known format. This is the issue in the jakarta ant tool. It makes no assumptions on what the format of the path is -- it immediately converts it to unix regardless of the current format. This was the expected behaviour. Is there another utility that can be used to identify the format of a classpath? This will be needed to account for the changed behaviour in modifying scripts. --Doug Newton [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: Christopher Faylor [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, February 10, 2003 9:04 PM To: Newton, Doug Subject: Re: cygpath bug in version 1.25 On Mon, Feb 10, 2003 at 05:29:32PM -0600, Newton, Doug wrote: I believe I have found a bug in cygpath.exe version 1.25 (Which has been the version included since at least cygwin version 1.3.17-1 and through cygwin version 1.3.20-1).

Attention
REQUEST I am MR REUBEN SAVIMBI one of the favorite sons of Mr.JONAS SAVIMBI (The Rebel leader) and also the head of the Unita Forces of Angola who was killed in the Struggle between Angolan arm forces and his unita rebels On Friday the 22nd of February 2002. I am from Angola but currently I am currently on exile due to the War in my country between the Rebel Group (Unita rebels) Led by my father Jonas Savimbi and the Angolan Government. I want a trust worthy, honest and God fearing individual to go into business Partnership with and that is the reason why I have decided to contact you. The fund for investment is US$45.5M (Forty Five Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) and Diamond worth over Twelve Million Dollars. This fund was realized from the sales of Diamonds during the crisis between the Unita Rebels (headed by my father Jonas Savimbi) and the then President Jose Eduardo dos Santos Of Angola. I fled from my country with this fund, which my father suppose to use procure more arms for the Unita Rebels. This is because I felt that the battle waged by the Unita Forces was more of rebellion and it was baseless. I had this fund sealed in a diplomatic box and deposited in a private Security Company in Europe. I will need assistance from you to use your facilities to effect the removal of this fund and subsequently transferred to your nominated account in your country. This business has to be done in a more confidential manner. For participating in the business with me, I have two options for you. You can choose to have certain percentage of the funds or you can go into partnership with me for proper profitable investment of the money in your country. Whichever the option you want, feel free to notify me. The money is presently lodged with a security firm and I will give you further details immediately I hear from you. Please contact me immediately for the next line of action then I will introduce you to the security company where the funds are been deposited. I would like you to include your personal phone and fax numbers for more confidential Communication with the Security Company. Regards REUBEN J.SAVIMBI.

looking for what is hopefully a simple answer for someone trying to use EMACS in cygwin
Hello, I am having a problem with running cygwin emacs under windows 2000 pro at work, where I am concurrently running exceed (to connect to networked machines): when I initially run emacs it does not open up in a separate window so, I mimicked my xterm setup at work and did setenv DISPLAY xx:0.0 now, it opens up in a separate window like I wanted, but I have 2 questions: 1) the icon (in the upper left corner of my emacs window) is the blue X ie. the same icon I get when I open an xterm with exceed. This is confusing because I would like to distinguish between my local emacs windows and my emacs windows that are connected to the network. How can I change the icon when running emacs via cygwin so they are different? 2) why do I have to enter an IP address in the Display variable if I am using cygwin on my local machine?

Hello I'm trying to get Spamassassin running under Cygwin. It compiles OK and Spamassassin itself works as expected, too but the communication between spamc (c-program) and spamd (perl) seems too fail, as far as I see it due to '\r\n' vs '\n' problems. Before I dig into this further I'd like to ask if there's anybody out there who already tried to build Spamc and Spamd under Cygwin and succeeded. I see the problem with both SpamAssassin 2.50 and 2.44 and Perl 5.6 and 5.8 (latest from Cygwin distribution). All cygwin packages are installed and updated (yesterday).

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: tcsh-6.12.00-4
I've updated the version of tcsh to 6.12.00-4. This is a bug fix release. It contains the following fixes: - $SHELL is set to /usr/bin/tcsh instead of /tmp/install/usr/bin/tcsh. - /etc/csh.login now preserves spaces in pathnames when evaluating $path. - /etc/csh.login now sets $TERM to cygwin by default instead of linux. To update your installation, click on the Install Cygwin now link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Then, run setup and answer all of the questions. If you have general questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin mailing list at: cygwin at cygwin dot com. I would appreciate it if you would use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly. *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the List-Unsubscribe: tag in the email header of this message.

g77 dlls: libg2c.a not shared library
I've been looking into building dlls with the recently uploaded libtool 1.4e. This makes it very easy to build dlls for autotooled distributions. You cannot at this point however build a fortran shared library that depends on libg2c.a because that is a static library. Neither is libfrtbegin.a, but judging from the nm output I guess that is only required for a Fortran main program. So it would be nice if libg2c.a could be distributed as a shared library in a next gcc build.

multi-user file permission problems
I recently updated from 1.3.19 to 1.3.20. Setup picked up a few new packages like gcc, ncurses, etc. After the update, the new executables and files had permission problems for other users of my (XP) box. From reading the mailing list, I thought this might be due to a directory permission inheritance problem caused by the particular older cygwin dll used during my initial install. So, I tried a clean re-install. Then, all files had this permission issue. And yes, I did select install for all users. Here is an example: ls -l /bin/make.exe -rwx--+ 1 ford None 156160 May 11 2002 make.exe getfacl -a /bin/make.exe # file: make.exe # owner: ford # group: None user::rwx group::--- group:SYSTEM:rwx group:Administrators:rwx group:Users:r-x mask:rwx other:--- So, you can see that the unix permissions do not show read or execute status for anyone but me. However, the ACL's show Users do have these permissions. Trying to execute make in bash via PATH for other users results in make not found. But, trying to execute /usr/bin/make works fine for them. Can someone please help?

OK, you're confused. You mingled the idea of using the X version with the idea of running a console version of emacs in a different Windows window.

RE: looking for what is hopefully a simple answer for someone trying to use EMACS in cygwin
Yes, something must have happened to my cygwin emacs, because, earlier today, I think it was interacting with my exceed program somehow. It was letting me run emacs in cygwin the same way I did it in exceed. So, if I typed, emacs any local file from my cygwin tcsh shell, it would open up my file in a separate window. Somehow it was opening it up in an exceed window. I reinstalled cygwin emacs, and now it functions normally. I wish I knew what happenned to make it work the other way.

Lack-of-feature is perhaps a better way to put it. And in the shells, not in Cygwin, in any case. ACLs aren't exactly common, or particularly standardized. I believe Cygwin tries to emulate Solaris.

Attention
REQUEST I am MR REUBEN SAVIMBI one of the favorite sons of Mr.JONAS SAVIMBI (The Rebel leader) and also the head of the Unita Forces of Angola who was killed in the Struggle between Angolan arm forces and his unita rebels On Friday the 22nd of February 2002. I am from Angola but currently I am currently on exile due to the War in my country between the Rebel Group (Unita rebels) Led by my father Jonas Savimbi and the Angolan Government. I want a trust worthy, honest and God fearing individual to go into business Partnership with and that is the reason why I have decided to contact you. The fund for investment is US$45.5M (Forty Five Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) and Diamond worth over Twelve Million Dollars. This fund was realized from the sales of Diamonds during the crisis between the Unita Rebels (headed by my father Jonas Savimbi) and the then President Jose Eduardo dos Santos Of Angola. I fled from my country with this fund, which my father suppose to use procure more arms for the Unita Rebels. This is because I felt that the battle waged by the Unita Forces was more of rebellion and it was baseless. I had this fund sealed in a diplomatic box and deposited in a private Security Company in Europe. I will need assistance from you to use your facilities to effect the removal of this fund and subsequently transferred to your nominated account in your country. This business has to be done in a more confidential manner. For participating in the business with me, I have two options for you. You can choose to have certain percentage of the funds or you can go into partnership with me for proper profitable investment of the money in your country. Whichever the option you want, feel free to notify me. The money is presently lodged with a security firm and I will give you further details immediately I hear from you. Please contact me immediately for the next line of action then I will introduce you to the security company where the funds are been deposited. I would like you to include your personal phone and fax numbers for more confidential Communication with the Security Company. Regards REUBEN J.SAVIMBI.

I suppose that would be something desired by the majority... Yet technical correctness has come at the price of usability and functionality. E.g. You cannot convert to --mixed style from --windows style with --path. Use sed if you want to change backslashes to slashes. It makes an assumption that the format is Windows. Otherwise, there'd be no need to convert to Unix format... Of course, if you simply wanted to *ensure* that the path was in unix format... you're stuck.

However, as usual, if everyone would put as much effort into thinking about solutions as they did with complaining about the terrible terrible problem, they'd be farther along the path of a solution. For the record, the old code was broken and buggy. It worked in an undocumented fashion. And, perhaps more importantly, the change was introduced in November. It is now February.

strange mv behavior: mv mydir mydir
I stumbled onto this trying to rename a dir from Mydir to mydir (w/o capital M) mv Mydir mydir starts copying Mydir into Mydir/mydir. But it's not just the 'caps' that are the issue since: mv mydir mydir will start copying mydir into itself On lnx, I get: mv: cannot move `mydir' to a subdirectory of itself, `mydir/mydir' Shouldn't I get a similar error on Windows? Note to do the original, desired mv, I can use: mv Mydir foo; mv foo mydir Which (unfortunately), would be correct windows behavior since you can't rename a file or dir to a different name that varies only in capitalization (ignore case feature). The problem is 'mv' isn't recognizing that source and target are the same name (even when case matches), so it is behaving like 'cp'. linda -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
RE: Cannot get ^Z to suspend a program
Sure, but those programs hook the key(s) in a global fashion, not just from individual programs. So, Cygwin could hook the Ctrl+Z key, but what would it do then, how would it know which process to suspend? I'm not sure that cygwin could 'suspend' a non-cygwin process even if it wanted to. --- started playing around with this...I note: cygjob kill -STOP %1 #works as expected but winprog kill -STOP %1 #laughs at my puny attempts to stop it So cygjobs seem to be suspendable but winjobs are already not playing fair! now I try this: while :; do sleep 3; echo 1;done # control-z ignored Also, though, I note that if I type while the program is running, say ls, then press control-c, ls still executes! Under lnx, I see the 'ls' characters echoed as soon as I type them -- it appears readline is running in foreground even though I have a job (the while loop) running in foreground as well. It's like even when a foreground job is running, there is a 2nd, system level process that also runs and processes key presses (allowing processing control-u and control-r, among other, readline functions). It _seems_ like to get similar functionality on cygwin, one might have to have the same -- perhaps a unix-like fork/exec/wait would translate, internally, to a windows fork/exec/select, where select waits for keyboard input or the child process to end. Then the win-parent process -- still in control, could process line editing and user-job control key presses -- since we know that, at least, cygwin programs are well behaved in regards to respecting a kill -STOP, the win-parent keyboard monitor thread could use the same means to STOP a child. As for job control of winjobs? Guess that'd be another whole pain in the butt. Though maybe if the running user has 'debug' privs, they could attach the process and suspend it that way? (Dunno) If their could be some way of suspending winjobs, though, then the above 'keyboard thread' method could be used to implement job control.
