So it seems this is simply an ABI incompatibility between 4.1 and 3.4. Thanks. I'll start a test using gcc-4.0.4; with some luck that's new enough for LilyPond and still binary compatible Cygwin. Jan. The C ABI is meant to be the same between 3.x and 4.x, so since there's apparently no C++ involved, I don't think this is necessarily simply an ABI incompatibility, I think it's a real regression. Jan, please just to clarify: did you build the actual release version of libguile with gcc4? I couldn't tell from the context whether you were only using it to try the --enable-fully-dynamic-string experiment. I don't recommend using gcc 4 series for production releases yet. There was a lot of instability after the change to tree-ssa infrastructure and both 4.0 and 4.1 series had a big bunch of regressions. (I think it's starting to get there with the 4.2 and 4.3 series and that's why I'm I would *strongly* recommend all maintainers stick with the official release of the compiler when building packages for the distro. It's the same version the DLL is built with; we should use it for the apps too. C is /supposed/ to be ABI-compatible, but as we've discovered, it's not always as simple as that. Using the exact same compiler for the DLL and the packages means we've got one less thing that can go wrong. Is there some specific problem in building lilypond that is resolved by using gcc 4? I *am* willing to do maintenance releases of the 3.4 compiler if there are important bugs to fix, doubly so if it's needed to support a package in the official distro.

On the face of it, that sounds like a worryingly dubious idea. Not necessarily. It is often the case that the version number of cygwin's library ports (I don't want to say cygwin DLL because that could be misconstrued) do not exactly follow the upstream versioning. Most of the time, it's because there have been cygwin-specific changes that have forced our version number ahead of the upstream progression. Take ncurses, for instance: upstream so's are at version 5.0 or so, but our DLL number is 8. In rare cases, we might fall behind the upstream numbers -- imagine if an ABI change occurred, but only #ifdef SOLARIS -- there'd be no reason (other than a desire for consistency) to bump the cygwin port's DLL number. However, in the case of gmp, it is probably necessary to understand WHY the upstream maintainers bumped the DLL number. Did they make a back-wards incompatible change sometime early in the -3 sequence, but neglected to update the number until now? Or is the new version number merely cosmetic? correct the shared library numbers just doesn't provide enough information. -- Chuck

Cygwin is saving my ass
Hello friends, Years ago, I heard of cygwin and installed it on a Windows PC that I occasionally had to use -- just to have access to bash and find, actually. Well, I liked it OK but viewed it as a more or less superfluous toy. I mean, why use cygwin when you can have a native, full-blown Linux system for free? Which is what I had ever since. Never really used Windows much. Enter corporate IT. For four weeks now I've been holding my first real industry job. And I'm locked into a M$ Windows PC. God, I hadn't known just how much Windows sucks. Everything around here is done with Access and Excel and lots of ultra-slow VBA glue to hold it more or less together. Lotus Notes for appointments and email. Well, that's not going to change, but who helps ME to get MY work done? Enter Cygwin. Finally, things flow again. What a relief. Thanks, guys.

Remove Cygwin Path for Called Batch Script
Hello, I am trying to create a wrapper Cygwin bash script to add functionality to an existing Windows batch script. In my Cygwin script, I would like to call the batch file with something like: ... cmd.exe /k batch-script.bat params ... Calling the script in this fashion seems to generally work (in that the script executes). However, I have trouble because the Cygwin path is prepended to the Windows path in the batch script. As a result, trying to use the Windows find use Cygwin's instead. My question is, whether there is a way to easily strip the Cygwin entries from the path for the batch call. Hopefully the solution would be portable, and not affect the environment outside of the bash script.

are OK.
Regarding [1], 'pnmtoplainpnm.exe' does not exist, only 'pnmtoplainpnm'
is there, without '.exe'!
Is this different behaviour ('ls -l /bin' / 'ls -l /usr/bin') to be
expected?

What do you mean by wrong? Soft-links are text strings, they cannot be
inherently wrong or right unless you have some extra criterion to apply.

It's an interaction between two things:
1. /bin and /usr/bin are the same physical directory, /usr/bin being a
mount point for /bin.
2. exe magic only works on links when they can be resolved.

[1] is a packaging error. pnmtoplainpnm is a bash script, and the link is
in this form in the binary tarball.

Well, yes. Since the links are relative, doing ls -l /bin will attempt
to find the files in /share, which doesn't exist.
These are also packaging errors because, again, the links exist in the
relative form in the binary tarballs (I've only checked the cvs tarball,
but I assume webcheck has the same issue).
This may be a cygport bug as well.

What I do is have a batch file I call before executing any dos commands
(sort of a .dosrc), and in that I set my dos path. So for example I have a
bash function dos that looks like this:
function dos() { local s=/c; if [ $1 == ]; then s=/k; fi; cmd $s
%ETC%\login $*; }
... where %ETC%\login.bat is my .dosrc file. This enables me to say to
bash, dos and get a dos prompt, or dos foo and execute foo in a dos
context. LIkewise for things such as shortcuts to cmd.exe, I use cmd.exe /k
%ETC%\login.
I know this is not exactly what you're looking to do but perhaps something

PATH is just a regular variable like any other. If you want to remove
something from it, use whatever text processing tool you like. The
shell lets you set environment variables only for the command being

Calling the script in this fashion seems to generally work (in that the script executes). However, I have trouble because the Cygwin path is prepended to the Windows path in the batch script. As a result, trying to use the Windows find use Cygwin's instead. If you write %SystemRoot%\system32\find in the batch file, then you'll get the msw find whether or not any Cygwin directory is on your path. Hi Greg, Thanks for the quick reply. This is a feasible solution. However, I'd rather find a solution where the batch script can remain unaware of its Cygwin context. Once I get things working, I plan on creating bash script wrappers for many Windows batch scripts, so I'd like to make the changes in the Cygwin environment, rather than editing each batch script individually. I'll keep looking at let you know if I find anything.

1.5.24-2: Applications automatically restart on crash
Hi Everyone, For a couple of years I have noticed that when I run programs from within Cygwin (currently 1.5.24-2), if the program crashes (ie segfault) then the program gets automatically restarted. This is primarily a problem when compiling/testing a windows program I am developing (compiled with MSVC), as I have to wait for the program to restart so I can shut it down. It seems like this hasn't always been the behavior, although it has been for several years (in the past, it just didn't effect me as much). I was wondering, is this a bug or a feature? And if it is a feature is there a way to prevent it from happening?

announcing allmydata.org Tahoe, the Least-Authority Filesystem, v1.0
Folks: I relied on cygwin extensively while developing this project. Nowadays the end-user customers who use this product use the Native- Windows build, but I continue to maintain the cygwin version, both to keep our options open in the future and because I have a special fondness for cygwin. Regards, Zooko ANNOUNCING Allmydata.org Tahoe, the Least-Authority Filesystem, v1.0 We are pleased to announce the release of version 1.0 of the Tahoe Least Authority Filesystem. The Tahoe Least Authority Filesystem is a secure, decentralized, fault-tolerant filesystem. All of the source code is available under a Free Software, Open Source licence (or two). This filesystem is encrypted and distributed over multiple peers in such a way it continues to function even when some of the peers are unavailable, malfunctioning, or malicious. A one-page explanation of the security and fault-tolerance properties that it offers is visible at: http://allmydata.org/source/tahoe/trunk/docs/about.html We believe that this version of Tahoe is stable enough to rely on as a permanent store of valuable data. The version 1 branch of Tahoe will be actively supported and maintained for the forseeable future, and future versions of Tahoe will retain the ability to read files and directories produced by Tahoe v1.0 for the forseeable future. This release of Tahoe will form the basis of the new consumer backup product from Allmydata, Inc. -- http://allmydata.com . This is the successor to Allmydata.org Tahoe Least Authority Filesystem v0.9, which was released March 13, 2008 [1]. Since v0.9 we've made the following changes: * Use an added secret for convergent encryption to better protect the confidentiality of immutable files, and remove the publically readable hash of the plaintext (ticket #365). * Add a mkdir-p feature to the WAPI (ticket #357). * Many updates to the Windows installer and Windows filesystem integration. Tahoe v1.0 produces files which can't be read by older versions of Tahoe, although files produced by Tahoe = 0.8 can be read by Tahoe 1.0. The reason that older versions of Tahoe can't read files produced by Tahoe 1.0 is that those older versions require the file to come with a publically-readable hash of the plaintext, but exposing such a hash is a confidentiality leak, so Tahoe 1.0 does not do it. WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR? With Tahoe, you can distribute your filesystem across a set of computers, such that if some of the computers fail or turn out to be malicious, the filesystem continues to work from the remaining computers. You can also share your files with other users, using a strongly encrypted, capability-based access control scheme. Because this software is the product of less than a year and a half of active development, we do not categorically recommend it for the storage of data which is extremely confidential or precious. However, we believe that the combination of erasure coding, strong encryption, and careful engineering makes the use of this software a much safer alternative than common alternatives, such as RAID, or traditional backup onto a remote server, removable drive, or tape. This software comes with extensive unit tests [2], and there are no known security flaws which would compromise confidentiality or data integrity. (For all currently known security issues please see the Security web page: [3].) This release of Tahoe is suitable for the friendnet use case [4] -- it is easy to create a filesystem spread over the computers of you and your friends so that you can share files and disk space with one another. LICENCE You may use this package under the GNU General Public License, version 2 or, at your option, any later version. See the file COPYING.GPL for the terms of the GNU General Public License, version 2. You may use this package under the Transitive Grace Period Public Licence, version 1.0. The Transitive Grace Period Public Licence says that you may distribute proprietary derived works of Tahoe without releasing the source code of that derived work for up to twelve months, after which time you are obligated to release the source code of the derived work under the Transitive Grace Period Public Licence. See the file COPYING.TGPPL.html for the terms of the Transitive Grace Period Public Licence, version 1.0. (You may choose to use this package under the terms of either licence, at your option.) INSTALLATION Tahoe works on Linux, Mac OS X, Windows, Cygwin, and Solaris. For installation instructions please see docs/install.html [5].

where is `getopt` ?
I want to update the `getopt` utility in my cygwin, since the current version cannot support `-a` option. But I don't know which package this utility is in. I check `setup.ini` file in the `release` diretory. There is only a little informatation about `getopt`, like - @ libpopt0 sdesc: Library for parsing cmdline parameters - runtime ldesc: Popt is a C library for parsing command line parameters. Popt was heavily influenced by the getopt() and getopt_long() functions, but it improves on them by allowing more powerful argument expansion. Popt can parse arbitrary argv[] style arrays and automatically set variables based on command line arguments. Popt allows command line arguments to be aliased via configuration files and includes utility functions for parsing arbitrary strings into argv[] arrays using shell-like rules. category: Libs requires: cygwin version: 1.6.4-4 install: release/popt/libpopt0/libpopt0-1.6.4-4.tar.bz2 11627 c43b5d83506a27373cc240cc561209bb source: release/popt/popt-1.6.4-4-src.tar.bz2 757890 e0b48ada5a020076fdc63917d35b29d6 - where can I find the newest `getopt` utility then?
