Try looking in the FAQ - there's a link to it at the bottom of every message on the list. This is almost always caused by choosing to install for DOS style text files. If this is what you did, be advised that this causes all sorts of other problems, so if you've only just installed cygwin, I'd recommend deleting your cygwin installation directory and reinstalling from scratch. -- 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/

Setup.exe 2.573.2.2 unable to retrieve mirror list and setup.ini/setup.bz2
Hi everyone, I downloaded today´s setup.exe from http://cygwin.com/ and have problems running it. I want to run it as a non-administrator-user to just download the files. So I say Just downlioad, then I give it the proxy settings for my network. The first problem is an empty mirror list. Then I add mirror urls and try to proceed but it is unable to retrieve the setup.bz2/.ini from any of the different mirrors. I checked the setup.log but it does not give any error codes or reasons why downloading failed. I appended my complete mirror log. I am running WinXP Professional SP2. Of course I searched the mailinglist. The posts that resembled my problem were answered with Try another mirror. Well I tried all the mirrors in this log in my Firefox. I double-checked the proxy settings. Is there a way to make setup.exe output errors in more detail ?

Re: CIFS symlinks on network share break Cygwin
On Feb 4 18:34, Jonathan Lanier wrote: We use netapp here too, and we have a mixed NTFS/NT ACLS + NFS/Unix perms domain. None of it works well for me from the cygwin side, I always find myself having to use the win explorer shell extension to change the perms. If I can help with some testing or diagnosis or anything, please feel free to contact me offlist. My issues weren't with the file permissions; it was all about incorrect symlink behavior. I don't think Cygwin honors the native Unix permissions/attributes over a CIFS share; I sure wish it would, though. It can't because it doesn't know how. Cygwin uses standard NT system calls to retrieve a security descriptor which represents the permissions on the file. It also uses standard NT calls to set security descriptors on files. If the underlying file system doesn't support this standard means of retrieving and setting owners, groups and permissions, then we're out of luck. It would be even cooler if I could create real symlinks on the network share instead of the fake Cygwin ones. I expect that would require a lot more from the OS, though. Maybe in Vista - I've heard that there is a newer SMB/CIFS 2.0 protocol that's supposed to make Windows behave a lot more like Unix over remote shares. Of course we don't use Vista here, but there's always hope that in the future this will all eventually get sorted out. Not in Vista, though. Vista introduced a NTFS native symlink, but it does not allow to access them over CIFS. A native symlink on another Vista machine is not even recognized as a symlink, just as a file of size 0. Trying to open this file from the remote machine doesn't work (Permission denied in Cygwin, nothing at all in Explorer). Not to mention the fact that the default security policy does not allow normal users to create native symlinks. Only Admins are allowed to do that by default, which spoils their usability, somewhat. I keep a Unix shell open so I can change the attributes after creating the file on the Windows side. It's annoying, because some Windows apps don't modify files - they delete and rename, so the moment you touch the file it's lost the permission again. Occasionally I'll use the NetApp shell extension to do the same, as you mentioned. If NetApp has a DLL which we could dynamically call from Cygwin, there would be a chance to change this situation. Given that somebody cares enough to invest in source code.

It's not likely that we would move it to another site. cgf -- 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/ -- 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: Setup.exe 2.573.2.2 unable to retrieve mirror list and setup.ini/setup.bz2
I can open the mirror list with IE. I tried both, using the IE settings and providing it with the proxy information myself in setup.exe. The log reflects this, i.e. it says net: IE5 or net: Proxy. Setup.exe could say how this connection failed, failure to connect to the server or a File not found response or a DNS lookup failure. Additionally it could specify explicitely which network settings have been used, i.e. Proxy server and port, or elaborate on the settings retrieved from IE. I do believe that the problem lies in the local network settings, probably in combination with the way setup tries to obtain the files but without further information I cannot verify anything. Is there a backup method with which I can trick setup.exe into believing that I have the files already or provide them locally? I couldn´t find anything about this in the Documentation. By simply providing all files locally I could install cywin after downloading all necessary files to my computer.

[Although it is possible under very specific circumstances to mix cygwin and msvcrt, it requires knowledge of the internals of both libraries, and if you had that knowledge, you wouldn't have posted your question, so the advice stands] Make your mind up whether you want to write a POSIX program or a Windows program and stick to your decision. Third, let the compiler choose the C runtime library.

undefined refernce symbol __chkstk
I got the linking error message undefined reference symbol __chkstk. When I try to link my source code with a MSVC compiled library.

You only need this: -L/cygdrive/f/geolog6.6.1/lib -lcgg -llicence -llogs_dll \ -lPGILc_dll -lPGILcTool_dll -lcgs -lgeolog6 Here's why: -L/cygdrive/D/cygwin/lib/mingw = look in the mingw lib directory when linking. You don't want to do that if you're compiling a cygwin program, because the mingw libraries expect the program to be linked with msvcrt (see below) -lmsvcrt = link to the Microsoft Visual C Runtime library. You definitely don't want this if you're compiling a cygwin program. -Bstatic -lm = link with the static math library. As I previously explained, the math library is integral to the cygwin C runtime library, so you just don't need this. You should never specify a C runtime library to the compiler because the compiler is generating code for a specific runtime library and if you force the linker to link with a different one you are likely to get all sorts of linkage errors. If the above options don't work, then it's likely that your code (or one of the libraries in geolog6.6.1/lib has calls to native Windows functions. If this is the case, you have two options: 1) replace all Windows function calls with their POSIX equivalent. This will make your code portable to many more platforms. 2) If this is not possible, compile a native Windows program. For this you can either use the mingw version of gcc (where you'll need to use DOS style paths), or you can use cygwin's gcc in cross-compilation mode by specifying the -mno-cygwin option to gcc. Note that if you do this, you won't be able to link to any of the cygwin libraries. You don't need to change the link options from those given above - gcc will automatically link with the msvcrt.dll If you do decide to compile a native windows application, any further questions would be off-topic for this list - the clue is in the no-cygwin bit ;-) But I'm not sure how to remove the dependency on libmsvcrt.a (that comes with mingw lib in cygwin). If you've followed the above, you should now be able to answer that yourself. What is the equivalent lib in cygwin/lib? cygwin1.dll is cygwin's libc. Just leave it up to the compiler to figure out which C library it needs to link to.

If you are installing this software on a machine not listed in Table 2, you first need to determine which set of architecture-dependent files is most similar to those required by your particular computer. Invoke make using the instarch option with INSTARCH set to the closest known architecture. } When I run make -f makefile.mak depend depending on what architecture i specify I either get language M not recognized or it tells me that my headers and C files cant be found. So im takin a stab in the dark and guessing that choosing the closest architecture is a good place to start.

RE: CIFS symlinks on network share break Cygwin
Yep, and it doesn't help. It's solely down to the secureshare stuff not presenting through the standard NT api; it's only visible by using the shell extension dll. (... which makes me wonder, could we possibly leverage that to do some useful work for us in these situations...?) Shure, if the DLL has a usefull documented API and a programmer is caring (or paid) enough to actually do it. Well, I for one would love to have something like that. I wonder if NetApp could be poked/prodded to participate. Makes me think also, NetApp isn't the only CIFS server that supports Unix features - as Corinna pointed out to me earlier, apparently Samba does this as well (I haven't used Samba in years so I assumed that it could not). And that gives me a totally crazy idea - wouldn't it be nice if there were a standardized, open set of extensions to allow Windows applications to access native symlinks, attributes, and permissions over remote network shares? If there were such a thing, Cygwin could totally use that to have seamless Unix-style integration with networks, as could other applications. If such a thing doesn't exist, it should. If the CIFS protocol already supports it, it should be exposed in the Windows OS. Who do I need to vote for to make this happen? :) Also, it's very disappointing to hear about how the symlinks are implemented in Vista. Admin access? What were they thinking? Seems like if Microsoft wants to solve their problems, they should re-engineer the entire OS on top of a *nix kernel and be done with it. Kind of like Mac OS did...

But I'm not sure How to replace them with equivalent lib if I want to remove dependency from Mingc and MSVC both. If your goal is to remove the dependency from Mingw and MSVC, so why are still trying to link against MSVC libs with ggc and MSVC specific compiler options? __chkstk is a MSVC-specific stack checker compiled into each debugging function. Get rid of your MSVC build script with cygwin, and use the cygwin equivalent of the solaris environment. Esp. get cygwin or mingw libs. That's your work to do. Or use MSVC.

problem with setup
I am (was) running cygwin under XP at work. It was installed a while back by IT. Everything gets done through IT. They are primarily windows people and they left out some important packages like man and others. So I asked them to reinstall. I can't install the missing packages myself, they have to download whatever I need, scan it for viruses, pack it somehow, then install it on my machine. Long story short, when all planets were in alignment, I ran setup to do an installation from scratch (over my existing installation). Accidentally, I had a shell open (I run bash in rxvt). At some point the installer wanted to uninstall bash, it failed. I closed the shell and I told it to retry, but it kept failing so I pressed cancel. I ran setup again (several times) and at each time I would get an error that setup crashed, please inform Microsoft . I said no, but the installer would hang. Always when it was trying to uninstall bash. Cygwin did install properly on other co-workers' machines, so I imagine I caused the whole thing by having the shell open the first time. The question is what do I do now? I don't even know where to start. Is there a way to completely remove cygwin as if it was never there? Do I have to clean up some entries in the registry? Delete /cygdrive/c/cygwin? I'm a linux guy, I have no idea what to do in windows. I'd appreciate any suggestions.

I repeated your command and found that cygfcgi-0.dll is also needed/missing. (See below for the full listing of cygcheck.) So, what is cygpq5.dll, and has it ever been in the distribution? It might be a typo (in the procedures that compile/link clisp). Possibly, 'cygpq.dll' is needed. It is a library included in the Cygwin package named 'libpq4'. Is there a newer version 'libpq5' that has not been created for Cygwin yet? $ cygcheck -f /usr/bin/cygpq.dll libpq4-8.0.7-1 The Clisp documentation specifies that the full set of modules will include a postgresql and a fastCGI module.

RE: problem with setup
I think there would be an uninstall icon for Cygwin (i.e. I would like to reinstall it and all the configuration files and registry modifications).
