Re: Java under Cygwin and the installation of CaGe
or storage class /cygdrive/c/Programme/Java/jdk1.5.0_09/include/jni.h:736: error: parse error before '}' token make: *** [CaGe.dll] Error 1 - 'make' failure, aborting. This is a problem with the JDK headers -- they are not compatible with Cygwin. However, if you use the MinGW compiler, this error should not occur. I have searched with Google for quite a long time on the topic of Java and Cygwin and CaGe, but have hardly found more than http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-02/msg00477.html und http://www.inonit.com/cygwin/ and all this does not help me. The hint to get acquainted with the cygpath command does not help me either. Well, the build system for CaGe may invoke Java in ways that would expect it to understand POSIX paths (which it won't). For that, you might want to use the Cygwin Java wrappers (from http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/wrappers/java/?cvsroot=cygwin-apps), which would give you the java/javac, etc, commands that would understand POSIX paths. It seems that until now nobody with my problem (Windows, want to install CaGe, total beginner with Cygwin) has left his/her traces on the web. Can anybody help me? What is the problem? What do I have to do or learn, where to look next, in order to get CaGe running? At the moment I do not even know to look, especially on SUN's site. Could anyone adept at Cygwin just take a moment and install CaGe and describe what one has to do? If you would like me to post this to some other forum, please let me know, I am even grateful for help of this kind. You might also need to annotate the C function prototypes appropriately, as they may not be compiled with the right decorations otherwise. But all in all it should work, unless POSIX support not present in MinGW is used.

After all, I The directory has been created using native Windows tools. The permissions given using native Windows tools *are* strange and don't follow POSIX rules. It's perfectly valid that you can access a directory under Windows but get 000 POSIX permissions. You did see the '+' at the end of the permission in ls -l? OK, I now see this + and had no idea what it meant... but have now found the doc in cygwin by typing info ls, where it says... Following the file mode bits is a single character that specifies whether an alternate access method such as an access control list applies to the file. When the character following the file mode bits is a space, there is no alternate access method. When it is a printing character, then there is such a method. For a file with an extended access control list, a `+' character is listed. Basic access control lists are equivalent to the permissions listed, and are not considered an alternate access method. Interesting. So if it knows there is an ACL which overrides the -- permissions that were inherited from C:\ then why can't the cygwin port of rsync allow a Windows-friendly option for rsync'ing these files... even if it cannot directly read the ACL maybe it could allow you to invoke some special rsync permissions sync'ing flag? I looked in the man rsync doc, and found some flags that might be helpful ... namely -p -E and --chmod. But even chmod=XXX doesn't quite let you do automatically what would make sense, which is to create rsync'd files with rwx for the exe's and rw for the others. Not sure what the best way out of here is...??? I'm beginning to understand this a bit better, but it sure is a minefield... will generate ongoing problems for innocent future users. You misunderstand your problem. The problem is not that rsync on the source side cannot read the files (it can, since the ACLs allow it to). The problem is that the rsync on the destination side copies only the Unix permission bits from the source side (which are 000), and then it is unable to write to that directory (because the permissions are 000). What you want is some way of getting rsync to not copy permissions, or making rsync ACL-aware. I don't know of any way to do either, but then, I haven't used rsync extensively. Perhaps the documentation holds the answer. PS Can anyone point to a good article on ACL that explains the relationship to these ls -l permissions also? I'm sure MSDN has a lot of info on ACLs in general and on their use in Windows. If you want to know specifically how Cygwin maps ACLs to Unix permission bits, see http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html.

I wouldn't expect an additional 0x0d even if the mount was in binmode. You won't get them on a binmode mount. Looks like grep opens the input and output in binmode. The shell redirection opens the output in the mode of the mount where the output is to be placed. Thus, grep prints out the full input string (including the CR) and the shell happily prepends another CR to the LF. A workaround would be to put the output file on a binmode mount. Another thing that *might* work is using input redirection as well as output (i.e., grep a test.txt test2.txt). FWIW, I can't reproduce this with grep-2.5.1a-2, which means this behavior was introduced in -4.

The command you give will be sent to the remote shell and re-parsed. So, you have to escape the backslashes twice. Or, you could just put single quotes around the path to the share. Note that this does not guarantee that you'd be able to access the share, only that the remote end will see the right share name.

RE: cygwin 1.5.20-1, spinning pdksh, 100% CPU

I just want to make sure I understand this - are you talking about a
change that has been made since 1.5.24-2 was released, which is in the
snapshot view now? Or did you mean a fix that was made sometime between
1.5.20-1 and 1.5.24-2.
I meant the former, but I don't know if these changes have actually fixed
your problem.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Posting a sequence of steps that reliably reproduces the problem for
you would be great (but not necessarily easy).
We've seen the issue happen with the following scripts. Run a few
instances of tst.sh. Occasionally, one will become hung - if you
terminate the other tst.sh with Ctrl-C, you'll see that there's a
subtest.sh shell that is using up all the CPU.
First - generate tstfile by running
ls -l /bin tstfile
tst.sh
==
while true
do
for ltr in a b c d e f g
do
out=`./subtest.sh $ltr`
echo Found $out
date
done
done
subtest.sh
==
for i in `seq 1 100`
do
f=`awk '{if(NR == i)print}' i=$i tstfile`
m=`/bin/echo $f | grep $1`
if [ ! -z $m ]
then
echo $i: $m
fi
done
I can't seem to reproduce this on my Core Duo Thinkpad with 2G RAM and
WinXP Pro after 20 minutes or so.
Any particulars about the machines on which this happens? Are they
multi-core? I don't recall seeing a cygcheck output from an affected
machine...

Re: Simple patch to enable stereo visuals in XWin_GL

I have a simple patch which enables stereo visuals (necessary to support my project, VirtualGL) on systems that support stereo. I'd like to get this patch incorporated into the Cygwin distribution of XWin_GL, if possible. Darrell, Cygwin/X is basically the X.org tree built for Cygwin. So you can try sending your patch to the upstream X.org team. However, we are currently missing a maintainer for Cygwin/X. So there probably won't be a new release of Cygwin/X to pick up the fix, even if it's accepted into the upstream tree. Volunteer maintainers welcome.

I was looking for feedback on whether this is of enough general interest that I should spiff it up and turn it into a CygWin package. I believe most of the menu items are self-explanatory; but they introduce people new (or not so new) to CygWin to how cygstart(1), dialog(1), XNest(1) and other utilities can be integrated with CygWin/X11 features too often overlooked to create a very complete user environment. You should certainly feel free to propose a Cygwin package with your modifications (as long as it does not overwrite existing configuration). See http://cygwin.com/setup.html for instructions on packaging for Cygwin. Since you are already providing a web site with this information, you can also add a setup configuration (setup.ini and directory structure) to allow people to install and test your package directly off your site by adding it as a mirror in Cygwin setup. Another option is to try integrating it with the X-startup-scripts and X-start-menu-icons packages, though I don't recall who maintains them, and whether they are as maintainer-less as Cygwin/X itself.

It occurred recently, and I currently have gdb attached to the process and have the symbols loaded. I assume you've rebuilt pdksh from source, since the packaged binary is stripped... Do you also have the symbols for the Cygwin DLL? Yes, I've built both pdksh and cygwin1.dll from source and have the symbols. Ok, great. I see that pdksh is continually calling sigsuspend(), which is immediately returning from cancelable_wait due to the fact that the signal_arrived event is set. Do you mean the sigpause() call? Can you see which signal it attempts to suspend? Can you email me (privately, if you wish) the stack dump from gdb? It's sigsuspend() in j_waitj - line 1191 in jobs.c. It calls sigsuspend(sm_default), and sm_default is 0 (no signals are blocked). This immediately returns, and I see that j-state is still PRUNNING every time. Hmm. That should be fine -- since it does not know the job terminated, the status reflects pdksh's current knowledge. And since sm_default is 0, sigsuspend ought to be the no-op it is. I also see that pdksh is waiting for a subprocess to complete, and has a handle to the PID of that process - however the process has long since terminated. That's normal (I think). Cygwin may not deliver SIGCHLD immediately after process termination. Until pdksh gets SIGCHLD, it'll keep the process handle. It appears that something went wrong during delivery of SIGCHLD. Does this happen before or after j_sigchld() gets invoked? I suspect that j_sigchld never got invoked, or didn't run properly, but can't definitvely prove that. It's set as a handler for SIGCHLD. If your theory is correct, and SIGCHLD delivery is interrupted, then it won't have executed. I've got two questions related to this: - have there been changes between 1.5.20-1 and 1.5.24-2, or the latest snapshot, that might have fixed this issue?

I wish I could supply this, but the problem happens very rarely. I've run many thousands of test shell iterations and haven't seen it reoccur yet. Right, which is why it's not necessarily easy. :-) As I said above, a stack dump (with full pdksh symbols) would help... That might mean that you'd need to build an unstripped pdksh and attempt to reproduce the problem again. Igor Here's a stack trace of the thread where the spin is occurring.

Igor Wtxtcl is not a Cygwin program, but as what I do, the environment are same for both executions. Sigh. I debated whether to include the explanation below in the original reply, but figured it'd be pretty obvious once you understood how Cygwin interacts with Windows. Anyway, here we go. The diffrence is the work directory. Exactly. More precisely, the difference is the working *drive* as Windows sees it. In /: $ wtxtcl /tornado/host/src/hutils/muntch.tcl couldn't read file host/src/hutils/munch.tcl: no such file or directory Absent information about your system (which you should have provided according to http://cygwin.com/problems.html), I can only guess that your root is on the C: drive (probably the default C:\cygwin). So, given that mounts are ignored and wtxtcl does not understand Cygwin's POSIX paths, the path you gave it will be interpreted as \tornado\host\src\hutils\muntch.tcl (note the absense of the drive letter). This will make Windows look on the *current* drive, which, for the root directory, is C: (and, of course, does not have a file at this path). In /tornado $ wtxtcl /tornado/host/src/hutils/muntch.tcl (OK) Since /tornado mounts D:\tornado, when you cd to that directory, the current drive is D:. So again, the path is interpreted as \tornado\host\src\hutils\muntch.tcl, but that file *does* exist on the D: drive. So it just *happens* to work (as Larry termed it, serendipity). To confirm this, remount D:\tornado as /mytornado, and give the path as /mytornado/host/src/hutils/muntch.tcl. You'll see that the file will not be found no matter what the current directory is (because Windows will look for \mytornado\host\src\hutils\muntch.tcl, which does not exist on any drive). The solution is to use $(cygpath -am /tornado/host/src/hutils/muntch.tcl), as Larry already indicated, which will create an absolute path, including the drive letter, that will be understood by all Windows programs.

You can, theoretically, just run the postinstall scripts manually, but there is a better way. Can anyone give me a hint how to install this package in a cygwin style? Any command line tool like dpkg or rpm for this? No command-line tools[*], but you can do the following: 1) Download the package to some subdirectory of your Cygwin package cache directory, e.g., C:\install\Cygwin\custom. 2) Setup should be smart enough to infer the version, but, just to make sure, you can create a custom setup.ini with that one package in it, setting 'curr' to the version you want (i.e., 2.4). See http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2007-07/msg00134.html for an example of such a setup.ini (except you'd need one with a python package). 3) Tell setup to Install from local directory.

If I specify the full file path, than I don't have a problem in cygwin. I am a bit puzzled by this behavior because last time I did some fortran coding under the same environment (about a year ago), I do not remember having that issue. I could not find info on such behavior on the prior mailings. Any ideas/suggestions as to what may be going on? To implement POSIX functionality like allowing to remove the current directory, Cygwin changes the Win32 current working directory of a process to C:\WINDOWS\system32, while keeping its own notion of what the CWD is. This is transparent to the Cygwin file IO calls, but will confuse the Win32 calls. The CWD is inherited by child processes. When invoking non-Cygwin programs, Cygwin's exec() should change the cwd back to its real value. That doesn't seem to be happening in your case. A simple testcase (e.g., a Win32 program that invokes getpwd() and prints the value) which ought to demonstrate the discrepancy should be easy to produce. If that works as expected, you'll need to check what else is happening in your FORTRAN executable.

You're absolutely right. My system is located at h:/ where h: is a mobile USB drive. Typically I run setup with the drive unmounted and so I have to type h:\ to replace the default offering C:\cygwin and put up with the warnings about the dangers of locating Cygwin at the root directory. The old setup would first mount the filesystem, then go into /etc/setup on that filesystem to extract installed package information, while the new setup fails to do so. Again, absolutely right (though I don't know whether here you are describing behaviour or still guessing it). Guessing. I'm just trying to ascertain what your symptoms are. It's the difference between what old setup used to do, and what new setup now fails to do, that has generated my post. Are you saying Yup, the behaviour has changed? You're saying the behavior has changed. I'm saying I'm not aware of such a change, and my guess would be that if it happened, it wasn't intentional. I was going to suggest that you could help narrow it down by trying the different setup snapshots (at http://cygwin.com/setup/snapshots/) to see which one introduced this behavior, but all snapshots prior to 2.573.2.2 seem to be gone. Oh, well... If so, at least we agree that it has, and it sounds as though you know the reason why (which distinguishes you from me). I don't know the reason, but I do have more experience debugging setup. I'm trying to ascertain that I can reproduce the problem, so that I can debug it and find the reason. You also do not provide any details about the permissions of /etc/setup and the files in it on that filesystem with respect to the users on the machine that's running setup.exe. The H: drive is FAT32 and I have never had any permissions issues to contend with. That's one bit of information. All my systems use NTFS. It would be great if you could reproduce this issue with a stock Cygwin system after umount -A (which would allow setup developers to do likewise). If not, there must be more variables in play here. Well, it sounds to me as though you have run the following experiment on a stock Cygwin system (by stock do you mean one mounted at c:\Cygwin?): (i) deliberately unmount it; (ii) run the new setup; (iii) come up against no problems. Is that the case? Yes, it is. I ran umount -A on a stock system; downloaded setup-2.573.2.2 from the Cygwin site, and ran Install from local directory. Setup then successfully recreated the mounts for me. However, that wasn't why I asked this. I asked was whether you could make a stock Cygwin system on *your* machine and reproduce the issue, just to figure out if this is an issue in setup because of the non-default Cygwin location, or there are other things different about your system.

I have seen it (on Linux systems) in /etc/ssh/ssh_config before...I tried it on cygwin with no success. Does openssh on cygwin look for the global configuration file in another place or does it not support one at all?

Thanks. Subject: Re: undefined reference to `__imp___iob' Frederich, Eric P21322 wrote: Are there any tips to compile compatible libraries with msys / cygwin? Is it even possible? Am I missing a gcc option? No, it's not possible. Cygwin libraries use the Cygwin runtime. MinGW/MSYS libraries use the Microsoft (MSVCRT) runtime. These are two inherently different and incompatible implementations of a C runtime, so you can't link a program that uses both and expect it to work. It is technically possible if you are very sure of what you're doing, but this would involve making sure that all C functions are resolved to the correct library. For example, printf() in the MinGW code must go to MSVCRT, printf() in the Cygwin code must go to cygwin1.dll. The only way I can think to do this is with LoadLibrary()/GetProcAddress() and function pointers for everything. It also would mean that no C library data structures could be passed between the two, such as file descriptors, FILE *, struct stat, etc. It would be an extremely inconvent way to write code, and it would be much easier and cleaner to just compile all code as Cygwin code or all code as native (MSVCRT) code. Brian Thanks for your reply. Does everything you say hold true even if I compile with the -mno-cygwin option? Not everything, but how were we to know you were using -mno-cygwin? The program I was talking about linked to 4 libraries so I made a small main.c and just tried adding one library at a time. I wrote a small program to link against a single library and it worked. I was passing around FILE pointers and that worked okay too. From main.c I did the fopen and fclose and wrote to the file using the msys/mingw compiled library. Was I just lucky? When I tried adding in another library I got those errors again. Apparently I'm confused. I thought that when I compile with -mno-cygwin it was the same as using msys/mingw. It is, unless you explicitly inlcude a Cygwin header. Please provide the exact compiler invocation and the exact errors you get.

Re: Bash is broken wrt trap :(

Cygwin bash is actually a newer version than Debian/RH ships - but has
one flaw not shared by the other distributions.
I have code that must run on AIX (bash/ksh93), Linux (bash/ksh93), and
Cygwin (bash - pdksh is not sufficient and I couldn't find ksh93)...
What's missing in pdksh?
and trap handling is a large part of what the scripts do.
Here is the main trap setup:
-
# Set a trap to catch non-zero return codes
ERROR=*** ERROR *** ERROR *** ERROR ***;
trap echo \$0:$ERROR\; ERR;
if [ -n $BASH -a ${OS:0:6} != 'CYGWIN' ]; then
This won't work -- OS is a variable set by Windows. On my WinXP, I get
OS=Windows_NT, so ${OS:0:6} is 'Window'.
You want something like $(uname -s | cut -c 1-6) instead, or use
$(uname -o).
UNWIND=trap 'false' RETURN;return 1;
I'm not sure this does what you expect it to. It seems like this sets the
RETURN trap *in the child*, which is executed, again in the child, as soon
as you return.
else
UNWIND='return 1';
fi;
trap echo \$0:$ERROR\;$UNWIND ERR;
set -e;
Each function sets its own trap handling:
Parse_Options () {
trap echo \$0/Options:$ERROR\;$UNWIND ERR;
...
}
Here is the test driver I'm working with
-
trap echo \$0: $ERROR\;exit 1 ERR QUIT ABRT ALRM TERM;
do_a () {
trap echo \$0/do_a: $ERROR\;$UNWIND ERR;
echo 'do_a';
do_b;
}
do_b () {
trap echo \$0/do_b: $ERROR\;$UNWIND ERR;
echo 'do_b';
false;
}
echo 'main'
do_a;
--
ksh93 will propagate the error upwards via the 'return 1' clause.
bash, however requires setting a RETURN trap and forcing an error
in the function's caller :(
And what is the output you expect from the above script? That every error
handler up the call chain is triggered?
Anyway this works everywhere except Cygwin, as you can see I've disabled
the RETURN TRAP for Cygwin, as with it enabled, the script loops forever
(or until it faults) - continually reissuing the trap in do_b !

Re: Java
On Mon, 11 Jun 2007, Brian D. McGrew wrote: Good morning all, I'm brand new to cygwin but a veteran Unix engineer so I do know my way around... I've successful compiled all of my C/C++ code in cygwin and it's all running good now. However, I need java. There is a higher level user interface that goes on top of our C/C++/X/Motif stuff that's all done in Java. On Solaris and Linux I've got /usr/java and we rely on jdk's and jre's from version 1.4.1 to 1.6. Of course with Solaris and Linux I just download the platform version I'm using and I'm done. Is there such a creature for cygwin? Can I get a Sun /usr/java package running under cygwin? Cygwin can run Win32 programs. Thus, the regular Win32 JDK will work from Cygwin. However, it will not understand Cygwin paths, etc. That can be somewhat alleviated by using my Java wrapper scripts[*], but they will not (cannot) work in all cases (e.g., when the filename is read from a stream, or passed in a compound command-line argument). As for JNI, unless you want to deal with Cygwin DLL initialization issues (possible, but not trivial), your best bet would be to build your DLLs using gcc -mno-cygwin. One final bit of advice is regarding the Windows linker and name mangling. First, if you don't provide a dll_entry() method, Windows will default to some weird behavior in a DLL (IIRC, things won't be initialized properly). Second, different JDKs use different JNI name mangling schemes for nested classes (yes, I know it's technically a bug, but the language spec leaves it unspecified). The latter will not affect you if you stick to one JDK and use its javah. To see how we got around these problems, see http://x10.cvs.sf.net/x10/x10.common/examples/Constructs/Extern/Makefile?view=markup, which will build a DLL that is loadable by all JDKs I've tested (IBM and Sun, at least) without having to recompile (it assumes that all JNI methods are prefixed with Java_ -- a convention we had to adopt to enable this technique).

Re: Cygwin NFS file size limit ?

I have Cygwin 1.5.24-1 on Windows2003 server, using NFS services. When using unix ufsdump command to dump a local unix file system (ufsdump writes into a single file) into a Cygwin NFS mounted directory, the ufsdump issues an error message: ... DUMP: 24.10% done, finished in 0:31 DUMP: Write error 7602060 blocks into volume 1 It wrote only 2 Gb (should also be 6.5 Gb) There is plenty of free space available on the server.

I may be off the mark here, but IIRC, nfs-server is a pretty old package and hasn't been updated in a while, so it may still be compiled against the older versions of Cygwin that didn't have 64-bit IO. Running nm on the nfs-server executable (which I currently don't have installed, so can't do this myself) should show whether I'm right.

Maintainers Thoughtfully Considered? :-) I don't mind maintaining the ocaml package, but I would like to ping again and see what the current maintainer, Igor Pechtchanski, thinks. Sorry, I meant to reply to your original message, but got bogged down with work... I'm still maintaining O'Caml. It builds OOTB, but lacks some interesting (and important) features. A few of the things I was playing with in my spare time were trying to make O'Caml 1) support dynamic linking/loading on Cygwin (mostly done for 3.08); 2) allow -mno-cygwin like other Cygwin compilers (probably superfluous now, but we may still want to try building a Cygwin-MinGW cross-compiler); and 3) support multiple side-by-side versions (due to binary incompatibility). I haven't had much chance to perfect the build, though (unison had problems with it, and I needed to invest some heavy debugging time I didn't have). In the meantime, 3.09 and 3.10 came out. One problem is that a major client of O'Caml is unison, and, because of binary incompatibility, the releases of O'Caml need to be coordinated with unison. I've added a ping, and we'll see what Andrew says. I'm not familiar enough with O'Caml program dependencies to know whether I can simply provide an older runtime DLL in a separate package or not. There was some discussion of this earlier -- perhaps I should dig in the archives. I'm also ok with transferring maintainership to someone more knowledgeable in O'Caml, provided we can get the level of functionality I originally intended (described above). I can provide a patch for the 3.08 build tree.

Igor, if you mean that releasing a new OCaml would mean that I'd have to rebuild and rerelease all of the Unison packages, I don't have any objection, assuming the packages will still build without trouble. If the current Unison packages won't run with the new OCaml runtime, then yes, we should coordinate the releases. Once a new OCaml compiler is built I can use it to rebuild Unison. I have to dig back into Unison soon anyway, because a new version is out. Okay, I'll build a new version soon (probably this weekend) and post it somewhere, so you can install it and use it to build unison. If it works out, ping me and we can coordinate the upload.

The same line works when input by hand. Searching on the net I found that line endings could be critical (Lf instead of CrLf) and ran the script through d2u. Still no success. Curiously, if the script tries a cd with a non-existing directory, I get a warning. Otherwise, the script runs withouth any problems, but the active directory does not change. Don't know what to do next... The first thing to do is to try the same script on Linux -- I suspect this is not a Cygwin-specific problem. One WAG is that the cd does happen, but in a subprocess (e.g., parenthesized command, or part of a pipe), so that the main bash process does not see the change in directory. If that is the case, see a bash scripting guide for possible fixes (this is the same problem as setting environment variables in subprocesses). Again, this is not Cygwin-specific.

Re: ImageMagick display and convert fail with a Visual C++ runtime error
On Wed, 25 Apr 2007, Dmitry Golovaty wrote: Thanks, Igor. PATH is usually processed left-to-right. As an alternative to what Brian suggested, simply prepending C:\cygwin\bin to the PATH should work. C:\cygwin\bin has been in the PATH all the time; the problem seems to have been that the PATH statement contained a MATLAB directory somewhere in the middle which caused some conflict between the libraries that loaded. Notice, I said prepend, which means put in the front. In your case, it was in the end of the path, and was overridden by the preceding MATLAB directory. FWIW, the above is already done in the standard shell startup scripts, so unless you're using custom .*rc scripts, you probably attempted to invoke ImageMagick from a Windows command prompt. One word of warning for working in that mode: some of the programs in /bin are symbolic links or scripts that Windows does not understand. You're better off invoking Cygwin programs from a Cygwin shell, unless you're sure they are .exe files. I am using standard rc scripts and was invoking ImageMagick from xterm ... I have added a path-modifying statement suggested by Brian to .profile that removed the win32 Matlab directory from the PATH and this solved the problem. This is weird. The /etc/profile that comes with the base-files package prepends /usr/bin to the PATH already. My only guess is that you started the xterm with bash as a non-login shell. Try running xterm -e bash -l instead.

RE: bash: tar: command not found
On Thu, 12 Apr 2007, Dave Korn wrote: [snip] This means that tar.exe has been unpacked into C:\cygwin\usr\bin. That's why setup thinks it's installed. Not quite. Setup only uses /etc/setup to find out what packages are installed. I suspect a corrupt package instead. That is not to say that WinZip should ever be used to install Cygwin packages, or course. The fix would be to go into your C:\cygwin\usr directory, using a DOS shell or windows explorer, and delete the bin dir. Or go to /cygdrive/c/cygwin/usr from a Cygwin shell and use Cygwin to do this. :-) Then re-run setup.exe, telling it to install from local directory, just click on ok to everything all the way through, and it should reinstall everything that you deleted to the correct place. To the OP: you will need to tell setup to reinstall the tar package (preferably from a different mirror than you've used in the past).

Yeh, but it helps to create a real directory to back up a mountpoint,
because that avoids a warning message.
Only if you explicitly use mount. If you let setup create the mounts
for you, there is no warning message. :-)
And setup.exe is /supposed/ to create them: see do_install_thread in
install.cc:
for (i = 0; Installer::StandardDirs[i]; i++)
{
std::string p = cygpath (Installer::StandardDirs[i]);
if (p.size())
io_stream::mkpath_p (PATH_TO_DIR, file:// + p);

/usr/local,
/usr/local/bin,
/usr/local/etc,
/usr/local/lib,
/usr/tmp,
/var/run,

Setup's io_stream uses Cygwin mounts. Thus, once file:///usr is

Looks good, please commit.
Thanks, but it turns out the patch wasn't tested enough. Using the Back
button from the final dialog in download-only mode and then going through
setup again after changing the mode to Install would not change the
final dialog back to its original state. The attached patch fixes that
(and also makes sure no extra files are created in download-only mode).
New ChangeLog below.
I knew that copyright year display stuff would come up again. I'm
tempted to just remove it; I'm not really seeing what good it does to
display that to the user. And according to the GNU coding standards,
we're supposed to bump the copyright year in the header of any source
file whenever we make changes to it, which I don't think any of us have
been bothering with either. Sigh.
Well, I've adjusted it on the splash screen anyway. And yes, I haven't
really adjusted it in the headers of the sources... Sigh, indeed.

I was trying to roll back mingw-runtime to the prior version, with the download without installing option IIRC. Not anticipating a crash, I didn't write down each event, but it said something like install failed, then took me back to the mirror-selection screen; I picked the same mirror I had been using; and that's when my just- in-time debugger popped up, giving the attached report. Searching the archives for similar reports, I gather that the backtrace is what might help. I didn't prune the rest of the report, just in case that's useful. I assume a 'cygcheck.out' isn't wanted, but please tell me if I guessed wrong. This copy of setup.exe was downloaded on 2007-03-11: /home/chicares[0]$ls -o /cygdrive/c/cygwin-cache/setup.exe -rwx--+ 1 chicares 304128 Mar 11 01:58 /cygdrive/c/cygwin-cache/setup.exe /home/chicares[0]$md5sum /cygdrive/c/cygwin-cache/setup.exe b31ddcef84f25919a5d3184167b4a90d */cygdrive/c/cygwin-cache/setup.exe It doesn't look like you're running the latest snapshot of setup -- please try that (from http://cygwin.com/setup/snapshots/). I guess it's stripped: /home/chicares[0]$addr2line -e /cygdrive/c/cygwin-cache/setup.exe 0026d86a ??:0 Well, yes, but even if it weren't, 0026d86a is outside of the address space of the application (my guess is somewhere within the kernel). The next addresses are more informative if you have the unstripped version, though. I suspect some string manipulation routine, just from the general address range. If you can reproduce the crash with the latest snapshot, we could get a more accurate diagnosis with addr2line.

[...] If you can reproduce the crash with the latest snapshot, we could get a more accurate diagnosis with addr2line. I followed the link you gave, and downloaded this file: http://cygwin.com/setup/snapshots/setup-2.562.exe It did not crash. It let me retrieve the package I wanted, then successfully updated that package: /cygdrive/c/cygwin-cache[0]$cygcheck -s -v -r |grep mingw-runtime mingw-runtime3.11-1 /cygdrive/c/cygwin-cache[0]$./setup-2.562.exe /cygdrive/c/cygwin-cache[0]$cygcheck -s -v -r |grep mingw-runtime mingw-runtime3.12-4 Let me point out two small things: (1) The initial screen says Copyright 2000-2006; should it say 2007 instead of 2006? Yep. Thanks. (2) When I did Download Without Installing as a separate step to fetch this package, setup-2.562.exe terminated without showing the Cygwin Setup Download Complete OK messagebox I've grown accustomed to seeing. Is the lack of that messagebox a new feature? I mistook it for an abend; but, running it under gdb, everything looked okay even though the messagebox did not appear: /cygdrive/c/cygwin-cache[0]$gdb ./setup-2.562.exe GNU gdb 6.5.50.20060706-cvs (cygwin-special) [big snip] warning: .ini setup_version is 2.510.2.2, our setup_version is 2.562 warning: LOG: 2 note: Download Complete warning: LOG: 2 Ending cygwin install Program exited normally. (gdb) q Ah, the message box was indeed removed, and the final message was folded into the screen that offered to create the desktop and start menu shortcuts. However, what I missed was the fact that this screen is not shown in download-only mode. Thanks for the report -- I'll fix this.

The naming should be /usr/share/man/manmingw/dirname.mingw /usr/share/man/manmingw/basename.mingw for man -S mingw manpage to find it. Sorry but I don't think we're there yet. If you're going to put these in their own section then I don't think they need the mingw- prefix. I was only thinking that would be necessary if the manpages were going to be living in /usr/share/man/man1. If they are going into their own section then I'd like the manpage maintainer to add mingw to the list of searchable sections. Thank you, Volker. Can I get a gold star over here for Chris and Volker for this nice coordination of efforts? Done.

Thanks again for being so accommodating. Igor, I hate to saturate the market but I think this kind of coordination and cooperation deserves gold stars. Could you see to that, please? So, just to confirm, they each get *2* gold stars for this? That is, those in addition to the ones you asked for before?
