I was just answering the question in the context of rpm since I'm nauseatingly familiar with rpm these days. setup.exe does not try to detect any dependencies that are not explicitly spelled out in the setup.hint files. That could be a fatal flaw since there are bound to be dependencies that are missed which may not have an impact on installing but could have an impact on uninstalling. RPM does stand on its head to determine as many dependencies as possible. Maybe it's time for the old why are we reinventing the wheel speech? :-) cgf
Setup patch: List command line options on stdout
Here's a simple and useful patch for setup. Might reduce queries about
unattended installs, and save people having to resort to source.
Patch is against CVS (as of yesterday).
Modify the leader text as you see fit :)

Taking a look at the source, and trying to figure out where something like this might occur, I ended up in in install.cc, where I saw the following comment in Installer::installOneSource(): /* FIXME: potential leak of either *tmp or *tmp2 */ Here, it looks as if handling a compressed file leads to a handle leak as an io_stream isn't closed. Actually, there appear to be a couple of places where a pointer returned by io_stream::open() isn't being freed (where I'm assuming that 'delete tmp' is the proper way to deal with a pointer returned by io_stream::open()...) My investigations brought me to the same place and the same conclusion although it has been quite a while since I last looked at the setup sources. It seems likely that you're right, though. Sort of cries out for some sort of destructor doesn't it? Rather than io_stream *tmp = io_stream::open (foo, rb); do io_stream tmp (foo, rb); and let the io_stream destructor do whatever it has to do. That is probably a lot of work, though. I guess I don't understand why there is a FIXME here rather than a delete of tmp and tmp2. Also I found the use of the variable tmp in different scopes and with different types seems like a recipe confusing. If we aren't going to get any traction on this from any of the setup developers, I'll generate a new version of setup for testing in the next couple of days. cgf

As I mentioned before, if I kill sh.exe from the task manager,
everything works fine (i.e. it finishes logging in and I can display
things from the remote machine).
It has to be ssh trying to execute some system(..) call prior to opening the
connection, and the problem is with the command in question; that's hanging up,
openssh is waiting for it to complete boom! Although I'm not familiar with
the source code and haven't studied it (and 'grep' is _not_ a source analysis
tool!), nonetheless a quick grep lends at least some support to this hypothesis:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/src/openssh-3.9p1-2 grep -w sh *.[ch]
auth.c: * legal, and means /bin/sh.
defines.h:# define _PATH_BSHELL /bin/sh
pathnames.h: * /bin/sh before starting the shell or command if they exist. They
will be
session.c: * legal, and means /bin/sh.
sshconnect.c:* Use exec to avoid sh -c processes on some platforms
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/src/openssh-3.9p1-2
That comment in sshconnect.c looks highly significant to me!
You could probably strace openssh, then find out what parameters sh.exe is
being called with, and see if sh.exe shows the same behaviour when you try the
same command from a prompt. I think the problem that needs tracking down will
turn out to be with the commands that openssh is relying on sh to execute,
rather than anything intrinsic to openssh itself.
Actually strace probably isn't necessary. I see lines like this
debug(Executing proxy command: %.500s, command_string);
and oh look! like this!
/*
* Run $HOME/.ssh/rc, /etc/ssh/sshrc, or xauth (whichever is found
* first in this order).
*/
static void
do_rc_files(Session *s, const char *shell)
{
FILE *f = NULL;
char cmd[1024];
int do_xauth;
struct stat st;
do_xauth =
s-display != NULL s-auth_proto != NULL s-auth_data != NULL;
/* ignore _PATH_SSH_USER_RC for subsystems */
if (!s-is_subsystem (stat(_PATH_SSH_USER_RC, st) = 0)) {
snprintf(cmd, sizeof cmd, %s -c '%s %s',
shell, _PATH_BSHELL, _PATH_SSH_USER_RC);
if (debug_flag)
fprintf(stderr, Running %s\n, cmd);
f = popen(cmd, w);
which make me think you ought to just be able to run ssh with some debug options
on the command line, and that ought to give you enough information to find out
what's wrong. Try ssh -v -v -v rest of options and see what that tells you.

Problems after move to Windows 2003 domain
A month ago I had cygwin working perfectly. Then we upgraded to a Windows 2003 domain. I still have the same XP work station but now when I run startx cygwin crashes with errors about the clipboard. I have tried disabled the shared clipboard feature and the X server will now come up. I can run xeyes fine. However when I try to run xterm the CPU load on the Xserver goes straight to 100% and stays there. I have done an strace on xterm and I can see it is waiting on a read from the tcp socket to the X server, after 20 minutes the Xserver sends it data and up it comes. I have tried a variety of other programs and they all behave like xterm (except xeyes). I don't have any idea how to go about working out what it is doing. Can anyone help? Tim P.S. Since the domain move I have rerun mkpasswd and mkgroup, it didn't make any difference. I have also upgraded to the latest cygwin with the online installer; again it made no difference.

rlogin with trusted account still prompts for password.
Hi. I am having trouble with cygwin.My PC runs WINDOWS 2000. Trying to rlogin to a unix machine as trusted account, with the correct configured .rhost files, so including the account used in the rlogin, the password prompt still comes. One clue : the id command gives for uid not exactly my NT account. It's in fact my NT account with the first character caps on. Doing the same experience with another PC, logging on with my NT account, the rlogin is trusted. So something must be wrong with my PC's installation. Help please. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

RE: Problems with ssh and tunnelling with cygwin 1.5.12
-Original Message-
From: cygwin-owner On Behalf Of Nick Wisniewski
Sent: 15 November 2004 19:58
Is this really sh.exe? Can you check whether this sh.exe process is
running before you start ssh (e.g., compare the outputs of
ps -ef before
and after ssh -X)?
before
bash-2.05b$ ps -ef
UID PIDPPID TTY STIME COMMAND
Nick2888 1 con 13:34:32 /usr/bin/bash
Nick4052 1 con 13:37:33 /usr/bin/bash
Nick 2364052 con 13:39:22 /usr/bin/ps
after
bash-2.05b$ ps -ef
UID PIDPPID TTY STIME COMMAND
Nick2888 1 con 13:34:32 /usr/bin/bash
Nick4052 1 con 13:37:33 /usr/bin/bash
Nick39362888 con 13:40:16 /usr/bin/ssh
Nick40123936 con 13:40:25 /usr/bin/sh
Nick 9364052 con 13:40:29 /usr/bin/ps
As I mentioned before, if I kill sh.exe from the task manager,
everything works fine (i.e. it finishes logging in and I can display
things from the remote machine).
It has to be ssh trying to execute some system(..) call prior to opening the
connection, and the problem is with the command in question; that's hanging up,
openssh is waiting for it to complete boom! Although I'm not familiar with
the source code and haven't studied it (and 'grep' is _not_ a source analysis
tool!), nonetheless a quick grep lends at least some support to this hypothesis:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/src/openssh-3.9p1-2 grep -w sh *.[ch]
auth.c: * legal, and means /bin/sh.
defines.h:# define _PATH_BSHELL /bin/sh
pathnames.h: * /bin/sh before starting the shell or command if they exist. They
will be
session.c: * legal, and means /bin/sh.
sshconnect.c:* Use exec to avoid sh -c processes on some platforms
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/src/openssh-3.9p1-2
That comment in sshconnect.c looks highly significant to me!
You could probably strace openssh, then find out what parameters sh.exe is
being called with, and see if sh.exe shows the same behaviour when you try the
same command from a prompt. I think the problem that needs tracking down will
turn out to be with the commands that openssh is relying on sh to execute,
rather than anything intrinsic to openssh itself.
Actually strace probably isn't necessary. I see lines like this
debug(Executing proxy command: %.500s, command_string);
and oh look! like this!
/*
* Run $HOME/.ssh/rc, /etc/ssh/sshrc, or xauth (whichever is found
* first in this order).
*/
static void
do_rc_files(Session *s, const char *shell)
{
FILE *f = NULL;
char cmd[1024];
int do_xauth;
struct stat st;
do_xauth =
s-display != NULL s-auth_proto != NULL s-auth_data != NULL;
/* ignore _PATH_SSH_USER_RC for subsystems */
if (!s-is_subsystem (stat(_PATH_SSH_USER_RC, st) = 0)) {
snprintf(cmd, sizeof cmd, %s -c '%s %s',
shell, _PATH_BSHELL, _PATH_SSH_USER_RC);
if (debug_flag)
fprintf(stderr, Running %s\n, cmd);
f = popen(cmd, w);
which make me think you ought to just be able to run ssh with some debug options
on the command line, and that ought to give you enough information to find out
what's wrong. Try ssh -v -v -v rest of options and see what that tells you.
cheers,
DaveK

RE: URGENT HELP: How does a cygwin.dll by passes ws2_32.dll?
-Original Message- From: cygwin-owner On Behalf Of Nagamani Veerappa Sent: 16 November 2004 06:31 Dear experts, I wonder how can a exe compiled using gcc on cygwin by passes ws2_32.dll? Basically I have a windows program compiled using MSVC, need to use socket interfaces provided by cygwin... I tried linking cygwin1.dll with MSVC, with the great help of ALastair, who had written tips (in this forum) to achieve that. Just because you've successfully linked two incompatible object files together doesn't mean that what you have is valid code. The symbols may match up but nothing guarantees the data structures, ABI, functionality, or anything else actually match up. But it seems cygwin1.lib/cygwin1.dll doesnot seems to expose socket interfaces.. nm /bin/cygwin1.dll | grep sock says you're wrong: here are just some of the symbols it finds 610d7128 T [EMAIL PROTECTED] 610d7298 T [EMAIL PROTECTED] 610d72b8 T [EMAIL PROTECTED] 610d7340 T [EMAIL PROTECTED] 610d7480 T [EMAIL PROTECTED] 610d74c0 T [EMAIL PROTECTED] 6104a6b0 T _socketpair ..etc etc. That looks a lot like it's exposing socket interfaces to me. If I link with ws2_32.lib it links with ws2_32.dll .. Which I don't want... So, let me get you clear: you're saying that if you link with ws2_32, it gets linked to ws2_32, and you don't want that? Well just don't do that then! So please help, by answering how can I bypass ws2_32.dll? Simple. Just spend the next ten years writing your own POSIX compatibility dll that uses microsoft's runtime. It won't be open source, of course, because microsoft's runtime libraries aren't, but it will do what you want. Look. Either write a win32 program using MSVC, which is the compiler for writing win32 programs, (or indeed using gcc -mno-cygwin, which means you can't use cygwin functions), or write a POSIX program using gcc and cygwin library. Your question is a bit like saying I use a tape recorder to make tape recordings and a camera to take photographs.

Sorry for the very ignorant question, but what is one supposed to do with base-files-3.1-4.tar.bz2? Up to now I've been doing all installations with the Cygwin installer application I downloaded from the Cygwin site. Also, I customized this installation substantially. kj Simply let 'setup.exe' install it as you have been. The next update to base-files (version 3.1-4) fixes the problem that you have been seeing in /etc/profile. The installer (setup.exe) will install a new copy of /etc/profile. Unfortunately, it's not that simple. The base-files preremove script will compare the current version of /etc/profile with the default version, and will only remove the current version if it's identical to the default. If the current version is corrupted, it will be treated as customized and left alone. So, to the OP: once you upgrade, see if /etc/profile is the same as /etc/defaults/etc/profile, and if it isn't, copy the latter over the former (that is, if you really didn't have your own customizations). If you did have your own customizations of /etc/profile, I suggest you try to transfer them over to the new version.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Update: chere-0.5-2
chere is a Cygwin package to manage Shell Here functionality. It adds items to the Explorer Drive and Directory context menus. The named shell is started in the selected drive/directory when the menu item is chosen. If, like me, you're paranoid about your Registry, chere can display what it would do rather than actually do it. It can also report what shells have been added to the context menus, and the associated keys. Finally, chere can remove any context menu items it has created. Please consult the man page for details on usage (man chere). Changes (since 0.4-1 (test)) --- * Add install for for current user * Improved key handling for install/uninstall * Man page added Known issues The default zsh and tcsh startup scripts are in the process of being updated to work with chere. In the meantime these shells will start in the home directory instead of in that desired. chere adds an uninstall item to the Windows Control Panel for each shell context menu you add using chere. This feature relies on chere, and as such does not work after chere itself has been uninstalled. If you have context menus and plan to remove Cygwin, uninstall the context menus before you uninstall Cygwin :) Enjoy, -- Dave Please report any bugs to the Cygwin mailing list, following the procedure in http://cygwin.com/problems.html. In addition you should attach the (verbatim) output of `chere -r`. To update your installation, click on the Install Cygwin now link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page.

ampersand at character 2048 in a command is lost in make

Re: What to do when setup fails?
On 11 Nov, Reini Urban replied to: I watched in task manager as setup's memory use climbed from 50MB to 127MB over a period of a few minutes. When next I looked nothing had visibly changed, except task manager reckoned setup was now using only 12MB (again climbing steadily upwards at about 5MB per minute), even as the Performance task manager view showed system memory use had climbed to 880MB (and still climbing). Looks like it crawls your local-package-dir tree (aka Select download directory) to look for all available setup.ini's and tar.bz2 packages. You should really check your /var/log/setup.log.full what's going on and not only taskman, to see that's something going on. It was very strange: it wrote nothing in setup.log. I even searched on the whole drive for other copies of setup.log, and there weren't any. You really should provide a meaningful local-package-dir otherwise it will crawl your entire root, which could last 30 mins if it's cygfile:/// But maybe there's an undetected recursive loop possibility somewhere. Have to investigate. (Note: the fromcwd() step) The local package directory was set to c:\temp\cygwin, so that it would have a whole directory just to itself. Do you have junctions, directory hardlinks under your local-package-dir? I don't know what a junction is, sorry. Since the c:\temp\cygwin didn't exist until setup.exe created it, I assume there would have been none however. The machine in question has been returned to get its hard drive replaced, BTW. luke -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

With the latest version of cygwin, the windows '' command separators no longer work at all unless you use make --win32, which I guess is logical. I have confirmed that if you use the --win32 make flag using the latest cygwin, you will see the failure. Running make --win32 fail fails, but running make --win32 ok1 works fine. Jer.

Re: Problem with setup
On 11 Nov, Bobby McNulty wrote: Guys, theres a major problem with setup. According to the error I just got, setup is not closing any of its files after writing them. I finally got past xorg, and got up to update_info. I'll rerun setup to get a cygcheck. I can confirm this. We took a snapshot of October 26th (setup-timestamp: 1098732614), and in that version of setup, none of the file handles for any of the temp files of the form (where c:\temp is your temporary package directory) c:\temp\http%.\package.tar.bz2 is ever released. The system starts page faulting and the number of handles just grows and grows, and eventually setup dies like this: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Error Runtime Error!

Re: g++ 3.4.1

After doing so, however, I get a flood of error messages about the many templates I have (such as template-id xxx for yyy does not match any template declaration and several other). Should I start to adapt my code to gcc 3.4.1, or would it be safer to wait until it is available as default from the setup? Is it likely that the error messages I get is due to the Cygwin port, or would it be g++ itself? / martin g++ version 3.4.x is alot less forgiving (read: more compliant) than earlier versions of g++ (GCC) were regarding standard C++. This is a good thing. I haven't used the test version you mention but I've been compiling my own versions of GCC under Cygwin for some time and right now I am using the latest version (3.4.3). I haven't had any problems other than not being able to use -mno-cygwin anymore but I can live with that. So, you probably have problems with your C++ code, i.e. it's not standard- compliant but GCC used to accept it. Crank up the warning levels and turn off compiler extensions and start fixing the code. ICE is probably the fault of the compiler, regardless of any possible shortcomings of your source code. Other than that, I have no disagreement with Mikael. If you fix the code and still provoke problems, there is some advantage in submitting bug reports against a version which is currently actively maintained.

Re: Problem with setup
I should also add that after a setup.exe crash at 9:38am after being left running overnight, later attempts to install that day (with the VM size steadily increasing, and setup.exe appearing to stick at the stage where it is installing the zip package), that setup.log was not updated by the later installation attempts. Shouldn't setup.log be getting opened in append mode? We examined it at various times during a later installation attempt, and the contents didn't change and the file modification time stayed at 9:38am. luke -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

Update: chere-0.5-2
chere is a Cygwin package to manage Shell Here functionality. It adds items to the Explorer Drive and Directory context menus. The named shell is started in the selected drive/directory when the menu item is chosen. If, like me, you're paranoid about your Registry, chere can display what it would do rather than actually do it. It can also report what shells have been added to the context menus, and the associated keys. Finally, chere can remove any context menu items it has created. Please consult the man page for details on usage (man chere). Changes (since 0.4-1 (test)) --- * Add install for for current user * Improved key handling for install/uninstall * Man page added Known issues The default zsh and tcsh startup scripts are in the process of being updated to work with chere. In the meantime these shells will start in the home directory instead of in that desired. chere adds an uninstall item to the Windows Control Panel for each shell context menu you add using chere. This feature relies on chere, and as such does not work after chere itself has been uninstalled. If you have context menus and plan to remove Cygwin, uninstall the context menus before you uninstall Cygwin :) Enjoy, -- Dave Please report any bugs to the Cygwin mailing list, following the procedure in http://cygwin.com/problems.html. In addition you should attach the (verbatim) output of `chere -r`. 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.
