OK, so if I assume by the silence that -x is broken, can anyone suggest

The `-x' operator WFM. Does, say, this script fail for you (make sure perl

Thank you Igor. However, I've now read the entry on smbntsec and it
doesn't seem relevant. (Was a useful exercise in itself, since I didn't
know about the CYGWIN env var either ;)) I don't have a problem on the
Linux box, only on the NT one. And it doesn't matter whether I'm running
the script from the networked drive or from the local hard drive, I only
get the error under Cygwin.
So far it keeps looking to me as though Cygwin is broken.

Since I wanted to demonstrate that it worked on the Linux box (having
tripped over that one originally!) each time I hacked one copy of the
script I then had to move to the other machine and duplicate the changes
I'd just made. Clearly this was error-prone, so it made sense to just
use the copy on the Linux box. On the NT4 it's accessible as
/cygdrive/i/rnc/try.
Rob,
Well, it's usually a good idea to keep as many variables fixed as
possible. By sharing the script, you've unknowingly introduced another
variable (that of SMB shares). I'd suggest moving the script back to a
local directory, and simply copying it to the shared drive when you want
to try it on Linux. That way you can reliably reproduce the problem on
the local drive.
And no, I've never heard of smbntsec. What's it mean/do?
See http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-cygwinenv.html. It's on by
default. FYI, it may require very careful hand-maintenance of /etc/passwd
and /etc/group (in fact, I've ended up turning it off because the
maintenance effort wasn't worth it for me). You might wish to add
nosmbntsec to your CYGWIN variable.

both alternatives as suggested below. Both work perfectly under Linux.
Neither works under NT4.
Linux output:
script is executable
NT4 output:
I damn well am!
To eliminate error further, I'm now running just one copy of the
script, since the disk I use on my Linux box is mapped to the i: drive
on the NT4 box.
Are you suggesting that you're using a mapped drive from your Linux box?
That may be the problem. Do you have 'smbntsec' set in your CYGWIN
environment variable?

Tony Arnold wrote: I'm confused! My current version of perl is 5.8.1-1 and yet this update is a lower version of 5.8.0-4! I can only assume I've installed a test version at some time. Should I stay with 5.8.1-1 or revert/update to 5.8.0-4? Please don't reply/send mail to cygwin-announce. It's used *only* for sending release announcements. There was a brief mix-up with the test and current perl release which is now fixed AFAIK, so you have the test version installed.

Re: Core dumps : gij (GNU libgcj) version 3.2 20020927 (prerelease)

When I execute this code using gij, I get a core dump. When I compile this code to an executable, it works fine. I have tested my code under Linux, with gij-3.0 and gij-3.3, there it executes fine, so the problem lies probably in the cygwin implementation. I have narrowed the problem down to a small main file, and a single class in the subdirectory which throws an exception. The problem persists. If anyone likes to investigate, I can send him my example code and a core dump as a tar file. You've sent this (at least in essence) a couple of times to the list and no one has answered. This either means that other people aren't experiencing the same problems as you are or that they're not as gcj savvy as you might have hoped.

So there seems to be a couple of weensy buggettes there, though I'm not
suggesting anyone bother to fix them unless they happen to be working

1. chmod should surely change the permissions whatever the contents of
the file, and if it doesn't, it should issue a message. Silent failure
is not very friendly.
If your on an NT variant all you have to do is set CYGWIN=ntsec (If you want
support for NT extended attributes you can add `ntea', too). However, on
win9x the `ch*' family of calls retrun success (IIRC), as the underlying OS
does not support security in the way NT does. I might be slightly wrong about
the win9x but, though it's documented in either the User's Guide of the FAQ.
You can then use `ch{mod,own,grp}' in the same way you would on Linux.

Anyways, assuming it is rebase issue how do I fix it (what's the command (ah duh, rebase I know) and it's parameters?) Read the README carefully in /usr/doc (currently rebase-2.2.README). Particularly the part about stopping *all* Cygwin services (e.g., inetd) and make sure you don't run rebase (or rebaseall) from within rxvt. Does the failure happens sporadically or on regular basis now? Well if I put the above Perl snippet into a small script it works OK but in my larger script it fails. I can step through the Perl debugger to that statement and then attempt to step through it and it fails every time. After the above error I get the same error again and again... At a guess your small script (that works) doesn't use `Fcntl' while your larger script does. So, rebase'ing might help here as it does look similar. You don't have updated perl or cygwin before this happend the first time? I do believe I updated Cygwin about a week or two ago. Haven't run into this problem until last night.

Re: installation problem SOLVED
Frank Stajano wrote: This is a follow-up to my own installation problem as reported in http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-08/msg01255.html to which no reply appeared here yet. After a lot of attempts and a lot of persistence I discovered that the reason for all the strange behaviour was that some of the tarballs in the installation directory were missing. So I went online again (at the office---I was doing an offline installation at home, where I only had a modem, so I didn't want to download 100s of MB that way) and fetched the stuff from zero into a new directory. ***And it was still incomplete!*** The problem is with the mirror, ftp://ftp.mirror.ac.uk , because when I downloaded everything from it I got 125 MB, 117 files, 131 folders whereas when I downloaded everything from http://mirrors.sunsite.dk I got 198 MB, 149 files, 155 folders. Now, I can't say for sure that this second download isn't also missing something, but the first one certainly was. I used to use mirror.ac.uk, but they we're too unreliable. On more than one occasion, I downloaded corrupt files (like perl or XFree packages) and they didn't get it fixed for ages. mirrors.rcn.net on the other hand is the one I use now and have had no problems at all. My humble suggestion would be to add some kind of self check on what's there (e.g. a packing list, maybe just the setup.ini, with its MD5 hash) so that the setup program could ask the mirror what are you giving me? the list of packages as of 2003-08-28 and the setup program could easily check if any are missing, in which case it might recommend another mirror. Unfortunately, this is the way mirrors work. Some are good. Some are bad. I was thinking about something like this a while ago, and even started writing the code for it, where the data from `last' would be used to see when a mirror last updated, and record the findings in a list or page accessible from the Cygwin home page. You could then add a hook in setup.exe to check whether the mirror is in sync, if not warn the user. Having a complete list of files in release/, and having setup.exe churn through it, and attempt to download the file is (or could be) a lot of work. Either way, if your interested in working on something like this, you might want to subscribe to cygwin-apps and start a discussion there (see http://cygwin.com/lists.html for the address). I wasted a lot of time on this because I axiomatically assumed that the stuff I downloaded was complete and self-consistent, so I believe that a self-check at this level would be very useful. It appears that in my case setup didn't bat an eyelash about the fact that setup.ini listed some files that the mirror was not actually supplying for download. I would have expected and welcomed a warning. Same applies to an install from the local directory, of course. ...

1.5 is coming... please test away!
As some of you probably already know, volunteers and package maintainers have been working away getting everything ready for the transition to Cygwin 1.5 (though I've left it all to the last minute g). It's been tough, much spilt coffee I'm sure. Now what would be nice(tm), is if users of these packages could test them out[1] as much as possible before they go current, so as to make sure they're working OK (for you, at least). Happy testing, -- Elfyn [1] To be able to test the functionality of available 'test' packages you need to have Cygwin 1.5 installed (a snapshot at one's own risk, or the version available via setup.exe). Once you've upgraded the 'cygwin' package (available in the 'Exp' category; where all other available 'test' packages will also be) all you need to do is install the package in the same way you would install any other 'current' (stable) package. -- 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: Map Backspace to ASCII DEL?

Currently it seems that the cygwin terminal sends ^H (ASCII BS, 0x08) for backspace, and the VT220 Remove escape sequence (\E[3~, 0x1B5B337E) for Delete. I'd like it to send ^? (ASCII DEL, 0x7F) so that ^H can be used by applications (e.g. emacs). This is how I've always configured other terminal emulators that I've used, and it has worked well. I believe Cygwin just repeats what it gets from Windows. Typically for the console this would changed via keymaps, but I don't see that Cygwin uses this. I don't want to change my mapping in Windows as obviously that would mess up my native environment. Is there a low level way to change the keymap for Cygwin?

Re: cron and network drives
Andrew DeFaria [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Andrew DeFaria wrote: Larry Hall wrote: Hard to say exactly with the information given. My WAG is that the user from whom you're running the cron job for is logged in and authenticated by Windows on the second machine when cron runs but not on the first machine. Only one user is in use on both machines. In fact I accessed both machines using remote desktop logged in as that user. The crontab is that same user, etc. This is assuming the share is not public, which would mean you have a completely different (network) problem on the first machine. Could you please describe exactly what is a public share, what is not a public share (I assume that would be a private share) and how does one tell the difference? Also, assuming that in the case that works it works because it's a public share and in the case that doesn't work it fails because it's a private share then how do I go about changing the private share to a public share? I really wish that somebody would address this issue once and for all. I often here such things as a public mount but to date nobody has ventured a guess as to what a public mount would be and how it would differ from a non public mount. I think I have a situation here that clearly shows that something is odd whereas on one machine a mounted drive is available via cron and on another machine it is not. Both machines are setup nearly identically with the same user (in the same domain though geographically separated by thousands of miles). The only difference I see is that the versions of Cygwin and cron are different. I think Larry is actually speaking shares here, not mounts. The reason people might not be explaining this is perhaps because it's just a case of common sense. Public meaning access-to-all, share, in this case, meaning a file share ...It really shouldn't need explaining. FYI, this could have been answered by looking at the Windows help, Microsoft KB, Google, ... The situation is this: There are two machines: hosta and hostb. The user in question is the same, userc. Now on hosta the T drive is mounted from //hosta/share. On hostb the T drive is mounted from //hostb/share (The share is replicated on both machines and has bascially the same stuff - Tools. This is done because of the thousands of miles of seperation between the two machines). A cronjob is setup for userc on both hosta and hostb doing merely: * * * * * net use /tmp/netuse On hosta it shows the T drive is OK while on hostb it shows the T drive is unavailable. hosta and hostb are both Windows 2000 servers. hosta is running Cygwin 1.3.20, cron 3.0.1-7. hostb is running Cygwin 1.3.22, cron 3.0.1-10. Double check the following 1) Your /etc/passwd and /etc/group are fully up-to-date (for domain local access) 2) The cron service is running as the same user It might also be a good idea to cut Cygwin out of the equastion, and make sure you're able to do all of this from within Windows (trying your `net use' from a remote-telnet session would be a good place to start). There's also a trick you can do with `at' that might help. Type: at /interactive HH:MM cmd at the (Windows) command line. At (no pun intended) HH:MM a LocalSystem owned command prompt should pop-up, where you can try out `net use'. If it doesn't work (`net use'), it's a problem with your Windows configuration. Can somebody explain why this works on hosta and not on hostb? And if that explaination is because the share on hosta is public and on hostb it is not then please let me know what a public mount is and how can I make the mount on hostb public. I wouldn't even want to venture a guess. If you haven't already supplied cygcheck output from both machines, that would make a good data point. -- Elfyn -- 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/

But when I try to run both at the same time the 2nd one does not run at all. Sorry, I do not know what HLDS is or what it does, apart from it being of the server variety of applications. Is HLDS a free software project, an open source project, a commercial thing? If I kill hlds1 and run hlds2 it starts right up. If I run either hlds1 or hlds2 and try to even execute the other one from file explorer I get an error Unable to load engine, image is corrupt. Although if I run hlds1 and hlds2 from file explorer they both run fine. This doesn't really sound like a Cygwin issue. Is HLDS a Cygwin app or Mingw app [read: native windows app] ? I have seen on the net claims that cygwin has: NOTE: There are issues with the cygwin.dll and separating simultaneous user space. Use with caution! There *are* issues when running multiple versions of the Cygwin dll (cygwin1.dll), but not when running two Cygwin programs on a single installation. They suggest using SSH.COM's SSH solution for this issue. Who does? And if this entity suggests using ssh.com's solution for this problem then perhaps you should goto ssh.com for help. Has anyone else run into this? I tried to even run firedaemon from cygwin but cannot do it without admin so thats out. I also tried to run psexec but it does not work under cygwin either apprently. This approach was to try and get cygwin to start hlds as services by a non Admin user to get around the problem. The main thing I am trying to do is have a normal (non Admin) user run hlds.exe and have multiple copies of it run on the same machine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Information regarding problem when Windows cannot re-use PID numbers (FAQ?)
zenma [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello cygwin users, Some time ago i experienced a problem when compiling big programs under cygwin when Windows after some time stops allowing you to run any more processes with one of the following messages: fork: Permission denied Insufficient system resources exist to complete requested service. I have searched through cygwin mailing list to find any valuable info in order to solve the problem but found only other users reporting similar problem. The problem was clearly described by one of the users here, basically it is related to spawning of processes by Windows and when you run multiple processes (one by one, not in parallel) windows start growing PID numbers incrementally and does not re-use them when it should. I had to reinstall Windows to find what is causing it, and finally was able to do it. It was a Firewall software called Agnitum Outpost which was causing such a bad behavior. When i uninstalled this application problems have gone and windows was able to re-use PID numbers again as it should. This is related to both Outpost 1.0 and 2.0 versions. This was tested on different computers (Windows XP [SP1]). I have sent a bug report few days ago regarding this problem to Agnitum. I know, this is not related to cygwin, but i thought it might be a valuable information to some people who ran into this problem and was not able to find the cause. P.S. Sorry for my bad english. No need to apologise, and thanks for posting your findings. Perhaps this could be added to the FAQ. It seems there's software out there that gives cygwin grief (firewall, anti-virus, microsft ...) in this and similar situations. You never know, someone might read it :-) Something like: Why do I get 'fork: Permission denied' in bash when I try and run a cygwin process? The Permission denied error, in context with fork(), means that Windows is unable to spawn a new process. This could be down to resource limitation on the machine itself, or could have something to do with third-party software on your machine (like anti-virus or firewall applications) locking you out. Try de-activating such software to assertain whether or not the fault is with Cygwin or is related to ... If you don't have any such software installed, or you've tried the above and your still seeing problems, consider consulting the cygwin mailing list archives available here http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/ or ask for help on the cygwin list. -- Elfyn -- 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/

The current Cygwin-XFree86 install does things behind my back IMO. 1. I do _not_ want the Cygwin-XFree86 item appear right under Start-Programs - I wish to have the choice of either leaving it out all together... or putting stuff like this where _I_ want it to be (i.e. it WON'T be where it ends up now, by default). 1b. None of the Cygwin-XFree86\* menu things work! YES: I'm cranky here too! Menu items *SHOULD NOT* REQUIRE any other steps than choosing that single menu-item. I here assume that one has to 2. Unistalling Cygwin-XFree86, leaves at least Start-Programs-Cygwin-XFree86- [Empty] Please, remove ALL of what you create. The way to go IMO is: Create Start-Programs-cygwin- [ put ALL cygwin related stuff HERE ] (*) Unless this happens, installing a few software-packages leads to an impossible (or maybe a better word; unbearable) situation; The Start-menu grows beyond all limits - thus making it hard to choose what to run/use. And believe me; I have loads of things installed. That's why I'm pedantic - and cranky.

It's free software, after all. In this case, I mean communicate with the right people [read: speak to cygwin-xfree]. *) Might this be a good addition to setup.exe? Could be. I was thinking about something similar, where a package can have an .ini file (following the convention here; perhaps .menu) somewhere (similar to the postinstall/preremove magic) where the package could install/remove a menu item or items, which IMO would be quite useful for X apps. Could, also, of course be expanded upon. And, might save you some hair. :-) My main motivaton being able to bung' a cygserver shortcut somewhere (but also give other packages the ease of doing it, too).

How does one check who the maintainer of a package is; e.g. to make sure it is not oneself? One doesn't. I compiled up the initial version of Window Maker, and provided a Cygwin patch to the WM developers to fix the problem of it crashing if you restarted after saving the workspace (which I believe has been incorporated into the main WM trunk), but someone else was good enough to put together the actual package for Cygwin. Hence my wondering. Well, it's not you. :-) Unless you have taken over the reigns from Harold.

Re: Questions about converting apps to cygwin

Hello!
For experience (and because I want to use it) I am in the process of
converting the bsdiff binary diffing application to windows from *BSD,
and
thought I would come via cygwin, and then decide if I should move to
fully
windows.
A couple of questions about converting apps..
1) Cygwin seems to lack err.h (the standard err.h, not the one in
openssl)
which I've seen in quite a lot of applications. It is fairly easy to
stub
around but still annoying it's not there. Is there some reason this
isn't
in
the stdlib? could it be copied there from another GPL/BSDed standary C
library? Could I even write one? :)
Don't assume we know what this is. Explain, or point to a reference.
By the way, Cygwin's C library is newlib, so if this is a C library
change,
you would have to submit it to the newlib project, and it would
automatically appear in Cygwin once it was accepted into newlib.
Sorry. err.h is a standard header included in the *BSDs and libc (at
least) which implements a number of simple functions for if your program
crashes. The functions are all called err* or warn*.
If you have a libc (or linux installation), info err.h will provide more
info. The source files are at:
src/lib/libc/gen/{err.c,errx.c,warn.c,warnx.c} (if you have put libc into
src/lib)
Unfortunatly I'm away from my normal machine at the moment so can't provide
an exact listing on the file. However as it is possibly more newlib related,
I'll go and look at their mailing list / archives instead.
Right, these functions are from libgen, who's functionality is not yet
available in Cygwin. I hope to have everything finished RSN. ATM I've only done
basename() and dirname(), but I don't mind adding these if someone can give me
their prototypes and what exactly they are supposed to do (e.g. print error
message and exit, not show be the source code).
