If you are releasing a package, please use an announce message that is consistent with other announce messages. If you're updating, the subject should be: Updated: foo-1.3.1-1 If you are offering a new package, the subject should be: New package: bar-1.3.1-1 or New: bushwa-1.3.1-1 I don't really care about the case of the message but the case should reflect the case of the package and, my personal preference is to uppercase the first word of the New or Updated.

Hi Gareth, Gareth Pearce wrote on Thursday, September 25, 2003 6:18 PM: Somewhat amusing little bug - the code correctly supports textmode - if the #define had of been in the file with the #ifdef that dependend on it... It appears I have a nice working version, works on text/binary mounts - 'dot' is working with both now too. (I think it was being fed corrupt data before) So shall I package it up? sounds great. Personally I would split it up into two separat packages (graphviz and doxygen), because Graphviz may be used by other packages or applications too and it is only optional to doxygen. Since they are used quite often together you may put a dependency for graphviz into the doxygen setup.hint file. Regards, Jörg

I know that this makes listing rights a bit more complex and I don't think it's needed now but it would be a nice(tm) extension at one later point, wouldn't it? Yes, I thought about doing that earlier on. Unfortunately, it's going to be more difficult for me to sort that, especially since I do not have an NT domain here, just machines in a workgroup (and can therefore only test my code against local groups). If I get some time, I'll consider it. Chris.

ITPs in Bugzilla?
I'm an idiot and no one likes suggestions from someone that isn't involved in the actual process... but it sure seems like it would be a he*l of a lot easier to track ITPs through Bugzilla.

[ITP] cocom 0.995-1
Well, I just had some time on my hands, so I downloaded and built cocom (http://cocom.sourceforge.net/). FWIW, it did build OOTB. Please review the packaging and operation (it seems pass its internal testsuite, albeit with some warnings which are probably due to gcc 3.2 being stricter, but I don't use it in my everyday projects, so may have missed something). The package is available at the URLs below. Technically, at least dino should be in a separate package, with external-source: pointing to cocom. However, I don't have a ready setup for building multiple packages from the same source (method 2 doesn't quite cut it). Maybe in a later release. Note: I'm proposing it as a package with the understanding that I might drop out of maintaining it shortly. If this is unacceptable, feel free to veto the package for now. If someone steps up to maintain it, it'll be there all nicely packaged for their convenience. ;-) http://cs.nyu.edu/~pechtcha/cygwin/cocom/md5.sum http://cs.nyu.edu/~pechtcha/cygwin/cocom/setup.hint http://cs.nyu.edu/~pechtcha/cygwin/cocom/cocom-0.995-1.tar.bz2 http://cs.nyu.edu/~pechtcha/cygwin/cocom/cocom-0.995-1-src.tar.bz2 sdesc: Toolset to help creation of compilers and interpreters ldesc: COCOM is a tool set intended to help creation of compilers, cross-compilers, interpreters, and other language processors.

Updated: Pine-4.58-1
Hello, I have packaged a new version of Pine. Version 4.58 fixes a security bug reported about 2 weeks ago, present in all previous versions. The current release is possible mostly due to a patch provided my Marc Crispin of the Pine team. His patch fixes the issues found in the uw-imap server package mantained by Abraham, so the patch included in this version of Pine should be of his interest too. Below are the links to the packages: http://www.math.washington.edu/~chappa/cygwin/pine-4.58-1.tar.bz2 http://www.math.washington.edu/~chappa/cygwin/pine-4.58-1-src.tar.bz2 http://www.math.washington.edu/~chappa/cygwin/setup.hint Thank you!

Re: Failure to make grap 1.30 under cygwin 1.5.5
Fergus, This is a general Cygwin question, not a Cygwin/XFree86 question. It should have been sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED], not [EMAIL PROTECTED] However, I happen to know the answer you want to hear. The problem is that 'flex' 2.5.31-1 sucks; it can't build anything in the XFree86 tree. Something is horribly wrong with it, but I don't care to get involved in fixing it. As such, I have upgraded flex to the 'test' version 2.5.4-2. You can do this in Cygwin's setup.exe, but you have to keep manually reselecting that version each time you run setup.exe because it will always try to replace it with the 'curr' 2.5.31-1 version.

startxwin.bat - how to use an .xinitrc file

However, when I run startxwin.bat it does not appear to execute the .xinitrc file automatically. Therefore I have had to manually edit the startxwin.bat file and add my custom stuff. Id like to find a way around editing startxwin.bat since after every xfree update I have to re-edit the file and re-add my custom lines. Am I missing something here? Is there a way to get startxwin.bat to automatically find $HOME/.xinitrc or would this be a good enhancement request? Thanks, Mike Campbell
ssh hangs with solaris 8 again
Hi all,
I found that writing 'run' in front of xterm command in file .XWinrc seems to solve
the Solaris 8 hanging problem:
menu root {
// for an unknown reason, solaris needs 'run' in the beginning of the
command...
solaris exec run xterm -sb -e ssh -X solarisbox
//...etc...
}
Does anyone have any idea why? For Linux machines, 'run' is not needed.
Thanks,
Tuli

So, is there a way I can accomplish this without actually being in runmode 5 on the Linux box? What resources? If you are referring to the overhead of running just xdm, then yes, you can do this without running xdm. However, the resources associated with your full remote session are always going to be used, if you want a full remote session. If what you want to do is just display some remote clients using the local window manager (XWin -multiwindow), then you can do this with ssh and X11 tunneling: http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/ug/using-remote-apps.html#using-remote-apps-ssh If you still want the full remote desktop (e.g. Gnome, KDE, etc.), then you start XWin without -multiwindow, -rootless, and -query (e.g. XWin -nodecoration -lesspointer) and without a local window manager (e.g. twm, mwm, etc.). You launch an xterm (from your script) and either configure it to run ssh, or you manually ssh to the remote machine. Finally, you run the script on your remote machine that starts the window manager of your choice. Some examples from debian would be 'startkde', 'startgnome', etc. This still uses all of the resouces associated with running a full desktop login, but it does allow you to not run xdm on your linux machine. I don't have the exact procedure for automating the launch of ssh from xterm, but I think an example was in an email sent the list today, so you can search the mailing list archives for 'ssh' and 'xterm'.

Re: startxwin.bat - how to use an .xinitrc file
Sounds like I've got my Cygwin/Xfree setup the way you'd like. You can do it, too, in 3 easy steps... 1) Edit the file .bash_profile in your home directory and make sure the X11R6/bin directory gets added to your path. e.g.: export PATH=$PATH:/usr/X11R6/bin 2) Put your .xinitrc file in your home directory and edit it to your liking. 3) Create a Windows shortcut (on the Desktop, for instance) with the following target: C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\run.exe /bin/bash.exe --login -c xinit -- -noreset -nodecoration The run part keeps bash from creating a dormant icon on the task bar. The --login part tells bash to read .bash_profile. The arguments after xinit -- get passed to XWin. That's all there is to it!

Re: Xfree86 is slow! with software like MATLAB
Harold Mark, To contribute to the discussion: I see the same problem when running Matlab. In my case Matlab is run on a Compaq/HP Tru64 computer with the GUI displayed on my Windows PC running cygwin/xfree in multiwindow mode. I also have a commercial X server (xwin32) available on my PC. Display of Matlab graphics, or even updating of the icons in Matlab window menubar are considerably slower when running via cygwin/xfree - the graphics benchmarks that Matlab provide run approximately 100 times slower under cygwin/xfree than under xwin32. Trials of other commercial X servers indicated that some are slow and some are quick, probably due to the reason given by Harold. An in-house, graphically intensive, X program run under the same setup as above does not show such a marked difference. One point of difference is that the Matlab GUI is written entirely in Java, while the other program uses GTK.

You can run XWin from startxwin.bat instead with: XWin -rootless Then you need to start a window manager like 'twm': run twm Cygwin/XFree86 works by drawing to an offscreen framebuffer (using the primary CPU), then transferring updated portions of the offscreen framebuffer to the screen. Work has begun, and is also essentially stalled, on the Native GDI engine for Cygwin/XFree86 that translates each X graphics call to a GDI graphics call; this has the advantage of utilizing the power of the graphics processing unit (GPU). Exceed and possibly other commercial X Servers do something similar to the Native GDI engine and are thus faster. On a side note, the speed of your graphics card and the quality of its drivers are very important for the performance of Cygwin/XFree86. A two or three year old ATI or NVIDIA PCI (AGP is better) graphics card will be substantially faster than a 5 year old PCI graphics card from a no-name vendor. On the other hand, I use a 5 year old Diamond PCI graphics card and it works just fine. That's about it.

Gavin, I forgot to mention something that is becoming apparent now: Matlab may be using OpenGL, which is implemented in software in Cygwin/XFree86. Thus, OpenGL is extremely slow in Cygwin/XFree86. Some of the commercial X Servers for Windows have an accelerated implementation of OpenGL that basically passes off the calls to the Win32 OpenGL layer. This was also implemented in X on X (XFree86 for Mac OS X), so a reference implementation is available if someone wanted to look into doing this. So, are the fast apps non-OpenGL and the slow apps OpenGL? Harold [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Harold Mark, To contribute to the discussion: I see the same problem when running Matlab. In my case Matlab is run on a Compaq/HP Tru64 computer with the GUI displayed on my Windows PC running cygwin/xfree in multiwindow mode. I also have a commercial X server (xwin32) available on my PC. Display of Matlab graphics, or even updating of the icons in Matlab window menubar are considerably slower when running via cygwin/xfree - the graphics benchmarks that Matlab provide run approximately 100 times slower under cygwin/xfree than under xwin32. Trials of other commercial X servers indicated that some are slow and some are quick, probably due to the reason given by Harold. An in-house, graphically intensive, X program run under the same setup as above does not show such a marked difference. One point of difference is that the Matlab GUI is written entirely in Java, while the other program uses GTK. Regards Gavin On 24 Sep 2003 at 22:27, Harold L Hunt II wrote: Mark, Using the default -multiwindow mode (with the integrated window manager) is slower than all of the other modes. You can run XWin from startxwin.bat instead with: XWin -rootless Then you need to start a window manager like 'twm': run twm Cygwin/XFree86 works by drawing to an offscreen framebuffer (using the primary CPU), then transferring updated portions of the offscreen framebuffer to the screen. Work has begun, and is also essentially stalled, on the Native GDI engine for Cygwin/XFree86 that translates each X graphics call to a GDI graphics call; this has the advantage of utilizing the power of the graphics processing unit (GPU). Exceed and possibly other commercial X Servers do something similar to the Native GDI engine and are thus faster. On a side note, the speed of your graphics card and the quality of its drivers are very important for the performance of Cygwin/XFree86. A two or three year old ATI or NVIDIA PCI (AGP is better) graphics card will be substantially faster than a 5 year old PCI graphics card from a no-name vendor. On the other hand, I use a 5 year old Diamond PCI graphics card and it works just fine. That's about it. Harold Mark Jones wrote: I have tried using XFree86 (linux and cygwin) for Cygwin's XFree86 and Linux's XFree86 and have found it to be extremely slow at refreshing the screen making it nearly impossible to use MATLAB's editor reasonably. However, using a MS Windows emulator like Xoftware or Hummingbird's Exceed provides extremely fast response such that it is useable with various programs including MATLAB. Is there a valid reason for this? Is it being addressed? Thanks, Mark

But, of course, that's a good lesson for life anyway. OK, I know this should be on the cygwin-apps but since it showed up here can I make a better problem report on the new flex version? Internal common parsing variables and functions that were available in 2.5.04 no longer are accessible (i.e. yytext_ptr or yyunput, yy_flex_realloc). As I'm not an expert in Lex I can't say if these are legit functions, but they have been there since time immemorial and are found in the X11R6 tree in several spots besides the xserver/hw/xwin branch. For debugging I tried to find the .31 version but couldn't find it on any official site so I couldn't find a changefile and see if maybe there's a new -switch or something to enable legacy mode beyond the standard -lex mode option. A compile of the version available @ gnu results in a version that still has these needed functions. The lex header files are very, very different between the 2.5.4 and .31 versions, but I didn't go into detail because they are quite convoluted. -Earle F.

If it's a cygwin problem there should be enough clues in strace or
whatever. SUSv3 says that there should be two possible errnos on error
-- EAGAIN or ENOMEM. If we were strictly correct we could check for the
ENOMEM case and not overwrite it.

This is certainly a bummer :( I saw some emails on mailing lists that
discussed this problem, but I did not notice a conclusive solution. A
message on the GCC ML said that newlib had no UTF-8 support. So, is this
true? Is there a workaround that I can use?
Please CC me on replies, I'm not subscribed. Thanks!
P.S. Elfyn have you implemented {base,dir}name() [1] yet? ;)

cp /dev/zero filename creates large files

I carried out the following sequence of commands
$ for i in `cat /tmp/d`; do if [ -f $i.idx ]; then ls -l ${i}*; fi; done
-rw-r--r--1 don None0 Jun 17 1998 dtaq
-rw-r--r--1 don None 3072 Jun 17 1998 dtaq.idx
$ cp /dev/zero dtaq.idx
The cp appeared to be hanging and the disc was rattling away, so in
another window I typed in
$ ls -l dtaq*
-rw-r--r--1 don None0 Jun 17 1998 dtaq
-rw-r--r--1 don None 65307648 Jun 17 1998 dtaq.idx
and you can see that the reported size of the target of the 'cp
/dev/zero' has grown to a considerable size in a short time.
Can anyone else reproduce this?

Re: cp /dev/zero filename creates large files
Don,
The functionality you need is /dev/null.
Indeed, the function of /dev/zero is to provide a
file which you can read indefinitely. You should use
it like this :
dd if=/dev/zero of=whatever bs=1024 count=number_of_blocks
Regards,
Jurgen

Re: Fatal Flex Bug
Hi,
I only just joined this list so please excuse aberrant behaviour.
I am also in the same situation as Matt, but I have more
information about it.
First, you can easily work around it by telling devstudio to
invoke flex through bash:
c:\cygwin\bin\bash -c flex ...
This is with 2.5.31-1, my previous version was 2.5.4-2.
Previous experience with DevStudio has suggested to me that it
invokes external commands via command.com, so I checked invoking flex
manually with identical arguments under bash and under command.com. The
result is that it always seems to work under bash, but under command.com it
can give a command-line summary, but not compile my script (I only have the
one script handy to test it under). So I think the problem is invocation
under command.com, not anything about DevStudio per se.
I'm attaching a cygcheck output.
I'm not sure whether flex should invoke under command.com? e.g.
is there a difference between invoking an isolated cygwin executable by its
full path, and invoking one which tries to access other executables, and
which may not have a PATH set up?
In any case, I have a simple work-around, so this is JFYI.

I want to use flex in Visual Studio, but it won't run. It just says:
flex: fatal internal error, exec failed
It worked before I upgraded Cygwin a few days ago. I don't know what
version of flex I was using before, but this happens with version 2.5.31.
Thanks!

Hopefull, everyone can reproduce this. I think you are mixing
/dev/zero with /dev/null. /dev/zero will always return a buffer
full of zeros (that is NULs, not the digit or letter zero).
/dev/zero has infinite length, so copying from it with cp to
a regular file will always cause you do run out of disk space.

Who are you?
You have a user id number of 4012, but no username associated with it.
I don't know if this is the source of your CPAN problems, but doesn't this
look significant in itself? This shows that your /etc/passwd and
/etc/group are not up to date.

Does anyone have an idea what is going on here? Or what I could try?
I'm a long-term cygwin user but I don't really know what's going on
underneath.
Thanks

You can rebuild your /etc/passwd and /etc/group by running
for f in passwd group; do mv /etc/$f{,-bak} mk$f -lc /etc/$f; done
Hope this helps,

Urp. What I meant was if it fails in the same way on Linux. The above
looks like a legitimate error message. FWIW, I just tried it on a RedHat

The parameter is incorrect.
Another simple look into MSDN for the CreateProcess call reveals:

RE: How about a TWIKI page?
That could very well be the page I want(ed). But, I think it should have a link off of the Cygwin Home Page, If it were there, then maybe others would more willing to contribute to it. For Example, I do believe that Mark J. de Jong's instructions on how to set up an SSHD server would be good for the TWIKI. As well as perhaps, How to set up an RXVT title with bash, etc, etc. Searching the mail archives is nice, if you have the time, know the key words, and are willing to run down all the little rabbit trails that get started. I also believe that using the TWIKI could relieve the FAQ maintainers jobs some. Much of what's in the FAQ could be put in the TWIKI, and the FAQ can become a FAQ, not a container for all the distilled knowledge about Cygwin.

How come cygwin isn't setting an errno appropriately, then? Shouldn't
it be reflected by make?
In any event, this might help:
mount -f -X c:/cygwin/bin /bin
mount -f -x c:/cygwin/bin/strace.exe /bin/strace.exe
mount -f -x c:/cygwin/bin/cygcheck.exe /bin/cygcheck.exe
since telling cygwin that the files are all cygwin-aware should make cygwin
bypass the standard windows command line stuff.

RE: How about a TWIKI page?
The reason there is no link from the main Cygwin page is that tWiki is notoriously unfiltered, so there is no way to know whether the information is correct. The FAQ does pass through this filter (i.e., only the items approved or confirmed by actual developers usually get into the FAQ). With tWiki, the pages will have to be monitored by someone (most likely Cygwin developers or the FAQ maintainer -- one more thing to monitor), and either any incorrect information will have to be marked as such, or the correct information will need to be marked approved -- both of which are extra effort that will take up the developers' already short free (volunteer) time. Why not consider making the FAQ maintainer's job easier instead, and submitting direct FAQ patches to this list? That way, once your patch is approved, it's easy to apply (no extra effort needed). The FAQ file is winsup/doc/faq.texinfo in the Cygwin sources (for instructions on accessing the sources in CVS, see http://cygwin.com/cvs.html). Igor On Thu, 25 Sep 2003, Mark Paulus wrote: That could very well be the page I want(ed). But, I think it should have a link off of the Cygwin Home Page, If it were there, then maybe others would more willing to contribute to it. For Example, I do believe that Mark J. de Jong's instructions on how to set up an SSHD server would be good for the TWIKI. As well as perhaps, How to set up an RXVT title with bash, etc, etc. Searching the mail archives is nice, if you have the time, know the key words, and are willing to run down all the little rabbit trails that get started. I also believe that using the TWIKI could relieve the FAQ maintainers jobs some. Much of what's in the FAQ could be put in the TWIKI, and the FAQ can become a FAQ, not a container for all the distilled knowledge about Cygwin.
