libiconv_xxx was used for a seperate and probably newer libiconv installed,
while iconv_xxx usually comes with glibc.
Is libiconv from me? I'll have to check these mistakes then.

clisp, where iconv is coming from, never used libiconv_*,
its iconv.m4 just tests for the main iconv_open, _close functions.

Thanks for giving that a try, Dave.

I restored 1.5.25-7 and confirmed that test_wait4 succeeds standalone.
Note that the test_wait4 test fails when run with:

If you type:

Note the message from the test output that verbose mode

I would be curious if you also can reproduce this behavior.


Would someone mind trying the following to see if you get the same behavior?
cd /usr/lib/python2.5/test
python testall.py
Observe that it hangs at creating task 1.

And (using bash):
cd /usr/lib/python2.5/test

Issue with GDB under Cygwin and XP

2008-02-11 Thread Ray Hurst

I'm running under Windows XP and Cygwin.

I ran GDB on a simple C program and captured the output (below).
I have a few questions:

Why can I run the program several times with no errors but as soon as I 
set a breakpoint at main it gets a SIGSEGV fault?


Why does the backtrace show only addresses?

Re: iconv vs. libiconv confusion

2008-02-11 Thread Brian Dessent
Dave Korn wrote:

   To elaborate: I'm building graphviz.  Its configure correctly spotted we
 have no iconv_xxx functions in the library, so did not define HAVE_ICONV; the
 application the supplies its own dummy stubbed-out versions of the
 iconv_open/iconv/iconv_close functions, but although those functions don't
 exist they /are/ prototyped in the header file and hence the build fails
 because the dummy versions don't have quite the same prototypes as the
 non-existing ones declared in the header file.

I ran into eactly this problem recently.  The issue is that you
accidently overwrote the libiconv header with the newlib header of the
same name (iconv.h).  You get that if you a make install (or whatever)
for newlib to get updates headers.  The newlib one doesn't work
obviously because it simply defines iconv_open.  The proper libiconv
header works correctly.

xemacs

2008-02-11 Thread Taras D
Hi everyone,

Can anyone tell me why the following has occurred.

When I first installed cygwin, I pretty much just installed xemacs (no
emacs and a whole bunch of other stuff). Xemacs could be started from
the bash script (black background) with the command 'xemacs '. It
would start in a new window with a white background.

Now that I have installed a whole bunch of other cygwin things:

1) I find I need to run startxwin.sh, then type 'xemacs ' in the
shell with a white background (no longer runs from the black
background)
2) xemacs now starts with a grey bacground (?!)

How come this has changed? Is it a different version of xemacs?

Thanks all

Bingo.  This is a volunteer effort, after all, and volunteers don't have

 Wonderful, merçi beaucoup, Sylvain, that worked.  Didn't realise this
 could be so easy.  Cygwin documentation / FAQ people, maybe this would
 be wise to incorporate somewhere in the uninstall documentation on your
 website, as I suspect all users running winXP and higher experience
 these problems when having chacged file ownership.  Thanks again.

 For this , include the FAQ in a Wiki is a good option.  One also can
 include user tips.
 

 You should have paid closer attention to the discussion.  This would be
 just the kind of confusion we don't need.  Having people update the
 FAQ with a tip that was *already* in the FAQ would just cause more
 confusion.

 cgf
   
I have to say that I agree with cgf. I should have looked in the FAQ 
before, it would have saved some typing. I have had exactly the same 
issue before and perhaps didn't find the answer at that time. People who 
come from a UNIX background tend to use chown or chmod but may have 
already deleted chown.exe and chmod.exe. Perhaps adding the exact cacls 
invocation in the FAQ would be helpful

I do not think that an external wiki would be a good idea, as the 
developers already have to face numerous questions arising from outdated 
documentation. The most common source of questions on the cygwin mailing 
list was at a time SSH (mis-)configuration. Users followed wrong 
directions and did not run ssh-host-config but tried to setup everything 
by hand. And when MS reduced the privileges of the SYSTEM account for 
XP, everything broke.

Best regards

Re: Cygwin OCFS support (or lack of)

2008-02-11 Thread Corinna Vinschen
On Feb 10 04:18, Robert Pendell wrote:
 Well I thought to take my hand at it and see what the strace looked
 like.  I followed it against a good strace from one of my own local
 directories.  If you search for fhandler_disk_file::opendir you will
 find that it fails with error 2 which appears to make subsequent
 attempts to access information fail (errno 89).  You will only find one
 reference to that handler.  Afterwards it silently fails.

 Please correct me if I am wrong here.

The opendir works fine.  It returns a valid DIR pointer as you can see
in the line before the geterrno_from_win_error.

What happens looks like this:

  opendir succeeds.

  In the first call to readdir, NtQueryDirectoryFile generates a Win32
  error 2, No such file so readdir fakes a . directory entry.

  In the next call NtQueryDirectoryFile generates a Win32 error 18,
  No more files.  readdir fakes a .. entry.

  In the next call NtQueryDirectoryFile generates another Win32 error
  18 and readdir finally fails with errno 89, No more files.

The first error, Win32 error 2 is very strange and I have no explanation
for this.  Maybe it's not enough for OCFS to open the directory handle
with FILE_LIST_DIRECTORY access.  It might help to use GENERIC_READ in
opendir instead.  This should be tested by somebody with OCFS access.

net-tool commands (ifconfig/route, etc.) on CygWin ??

2008-02-11 Thread Nitin

Hi,
   I have alot of scripts (approx. 1500) written for Linux.
I have now migrated to WinXP with CygWin.
I am not able to use my scripts here since most of them use following 
commands :-

ifconfig,route,iptables, etc., most of them related to Linux networking.

Can someone help me in getting these commands running in CygWin.

Please note that I have already tried following things:-
1. Tried installing net-tools RPM, but the error that I get is that 
package is intended for Linux operating system
2. Compiled net-tools from source on a linux machine and copied the 
binaries on CygWin.

Executing any binary results in the following error message :-
Cannot execute binary file.

Note that I don't want to use netsh or ipconfig, since that will mean 
rewriting the scripts.

RE: iconv vs. libiconv confusion

 2008/2/11, Dave Korn [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
   Does anyone understand the difference between iconv_open and
 libiconv_open, and why the libiconv package supplies a header that
 declares only iconv_XXX and a library that defines only libiconv_?  I
 find this confusing, and so does ./configure and friends.
 
 libiconv_xxx was used for a seperate and probably newer libiconv installed,

  Sorry, I can't parse that!

 while iconv_xxx usually comes with glibc.

  To elaborate: I'm building graphviz.  Its configure correctly spotted we
have no iconv_xxx functions in the library, so did not define HAVE_ICONV; the
application the supplies its own dummy stubbed-out versions of the
iconv_open/iconv/iconv_close functions, but although those functions don't
exist they /are/ prototyped in the header file and hence the build fails
because the dummy versions don't have quite the same prototypes as the
non-existing ones declared in the header file.

  There are any number of fairly simple solutions to this clash, but I am
hoping to get a slightly fuller understanding of the situation before I go
further[*].

 Is libiconv from me? I'll have to check these mistakes then.

  Um, no, I don't think so; according to the package maintainers' list posted
on 12/12 last year to -apps, Chuck W. maintains libiconv/libiconv2.

 clisp, where iconv is coming from, never used libiconv_*,
 its iconv.m4 just tests for the main iconv_open, _close functions.

  This has nothing to do with clisp.  As far as I can see, you're completely
off the hook, but thanks for helping anyway!



cheers,
  DaveK

It should work fine.  Can't you just break file.c:1337?

Debugging question

2008-02-11 Thread Eric Lilja
I have a native windows program (compiled using cygwin's gcc acting in 
mingw mode, with debugging information), can I debug it using cygwin's 
gdb? It's emacs I'm talking about and I'm trying to provide the 
developers information about a crash on windows vista. Doing this works 
fine:

$ gdb emacs
$ run -Q
crash!
$ bt
I see function names, files and line numbers involved before the crash. 
Now I want to put a breakpoint somewhere and print some variables when 
that breakpoint is hit. Can I do that in this scenario? If so, how do I 
make gdb find emacs sources? Doing
$ break /cygdrive/c/full/path/to/source/file:1337 doesn't work (No 
source file named blah blah).
If these questions, which basically is about gdb usage and mixing mingw 
compiled binaries with cygwin tools is considered off-topic, I sincerly 
apologise.

Yes.  After a while of being idle threads go down from 11 to 9, but 
nothing else happens.



And (using bash):
cd /usr/lib/python2.5/test
python testall.py  testall.out
and observe that test_wait4 fails.


Yes.  Testing finished, on the log I see a couple of tracebacks:

Re: net-tool commands (ifconfig/route, etc.) on CygWin ??

2008-02-11 Thread Larry Hall (Cygwin)

Nitin wrote:

Hi,
   I have alot of scripts (approx. 1500) written for Linux.
I have now migrated to WinXP with CygWin.
I am not able to use my scripts here since most of them use following 
commands :-

ifconfig,route,iptables, etc., most of them related to Linux networking.

Can someone help me in getting these commands running in CygWin.

Please note that I have already tried following things:-
1. Tried installing net-tools RPM, but the error that I get is that 
package is intended for Linux operating system
2. Compiled net-tools from source on a linux machine and copied the 
binaries on CygWin.

Executing any binary results in the following error message :-
Cannot execute binary file.


You may have a mistaken impression of Cygwin.  From the Cygwin home page
(cygwin.com):

 o Cygwin is not a way to run native linux apps on Windows. You have to
   rebuild your application from source if you want it to run on Windows.

You'd have to recompile them on Cygwin to use them for Cygwin.  Not sure
if this is possible, since everything I find in a quick net-tools search
suggests it's a Linux-only thing.  So this may be a significant port.
