And I don't think you can use them on a machine that's a member of a domain, but I could be mistaken there. They're local accounts, but definitely with a twist. I was pleasantly surprised that ssh didn't choke on them, but I didn't really suspect it as a root cause for file permission issues, or I would have mentioned that in my very first message. For testing you could try to create a normal local account, add it to /etc/passwd and run the above under this account. If it behaves differently (correct, that is), it's a something weird with these MS accounts. But then again, I wouldn't know how to fix this, other than to suggest to use a normal account instead. Bingo. I had just such an account already. It works as expected, i.e. correctly. Could we fix it by allowing the user to set their default group? As I said in my original message, changing the group from None to Users in /etc/passwd solved my problems. That's exactly how you do it, unless you're already using the new SAM/AD changes from the Cygwin snapshots, in which case you can override this in SAM or AD as well. Of course, if we don't really understand these accounts, then we don't know why that solved my problem, or if the same thing would work for someone else. Hmmm. Never mind.

But the owner *and* group SIDs of the file's existing security descriptor is S-1-5-21-3514886939-1786686319-3519756147-1001, the SID of your user account. Why is your user account the primary group of the file, even though your user token definitely has None (513) as its primary group? How did it get there?

Curious, are you seeing real-life references to /bin/gcc? Because
that wouldn't be portable anyway.
The real life problems is that whether it works or not depends on
the path order in $PATH. That's not exactly transparent to the user.
/usr/bin and /lib = /usr/lib symlinks) and this worked fine.
AFAICS, the difference there is that /usr/bin is the real
directory and /bin is just a symlink, where the reverse is true on
Cygwin and a mount is used instead of a symlink.
Exactly. The symlink on Fedora gets transparently converted to the
realpath(3) /usr/bin, while on Cygwin there are two realpaths due
to the mount.
Is this the reason for behavior such as this?
$ which -a test
/usr/bin/test
/usr/bin/test
$ mount
C:/Programs/CygWin/bin on /usr/bin type ntfs (binary,auto)
C:/Programs/CygWin/lib on /usr/lib type ntfs (binary,auto)
C:/Programs/CygWin on / type ntfs (binary,auto)
C:/home on /home type ntfs (binary,noacl,posix=0)
W: on /var/run type vfat (binary,noacl,posix=0)
C: on /c type ntfs (binary,noacl,posix=0,noumount,auto)
Y: on /y type smbfs (binary,noacl,posix=0,noumount,auto)
Z: on /z type smbfs (binary,noacl,posix=0,noumount,auto)
And there's no junctions from /{bin,lib} to /usr, as I was doing at
one point.
Uh oh. That's bad. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to switch
libexecdir from /usr/lib to /usr/libexec? It breaks applications
using relative paths to search other application components when
run from /bin.
AFAIK GCC is unique in this regard; relocatibility code is uncommon,
and most other uses of libexecdir definitely use absolute paths.
Either we revert libexecdir to /usr/lib, or we will need to add an
automount point /libexec - /usr/libexec as for /bin and /lib.
What if another program references its datadir as ../share/foo?
(I'm pretty sure it does happen, although GCC doesn't, FWIW.) Are

Curious, are you seeing real-life references to /bin/gcc? Because
that wouldn't be portable anyway.
The real life problems is that whether it works or not depends on
the path order in $PATH. That's not exactly transparent to the user.
/usr/bin and /lib = /usr/lib symlinks) and this worked fine.
AFAICS, the difference there is that /usr/bin is the real
directory and /bin is just a symlink, where the reverse is true on
Cygwin and a mount is used instead of a symlink.
Exactly. The symlink on Fedora gets transparently converted to the
realpath(3) /usr/bin, while on Cygwin there are two realpaths due
to the mount.
Is this the reason for behavior such as this?
$ which -a test
/usr/bin/test
/usr/bin/test
$ mount
C:/Programs/CygWin/bin on /usr/bin type ntfs (binary,auto)
C:/Programs/CygWin/lib on /usr/lib type ntfs (binary,auto)
C:/Programs/CygWin on / type ntfs (binary,auto)
C:/home on /home type ntfs (binary,noacl,posix=0)
W: on /var/run type vfat (binary,noacl,posix=0)
C: on /c type ntfs (binary,noacl,posix=0,noumount,auto)
Y: on /y type smbfs (binary,noacl,posix=0,noumount,auto)
Z: on /z type smbfs (binary,noacl,posix=0,noumount,auto)
And there's no junctions from /{bin,lib} to /usr, as I was doing at
one point.
Uh oh. That's bad. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to switch
libexecdir from /usr/lib to /usr/libexec? It breaks applications
using relative paths to search other application components when
run from /bin.
AFAIK GCC is unique in this regard; relocatibility code is uncommon,
and most other uses of libexecdir definitely use absolute paths.
Either we revert libexecdir to /usr/lib, or we will need to add an
automount point /libexec - /usr/libexec as for /bin and /lib.
What if another program references its datadir as ../share/foo?
(I'm pretty sure it does happen, although GCC doesn't, FWIW.) Are
you going to make an automount point for that as well? (Didn't
think so.) Relocatibility simply isn't portable to a /bin ==

Re: cygpath -m behaviour change
On Mon, Sep 16, 2013 at 5:56 AM, David Griffiths wrote:

Hi, it happens even if boo does exist. To put it in context, the
script in question was attempting to determine the current directory:
CURRENT_DIR=$(cygpath -ma ${0}/../)
(I didn't write this script but I assume they did this for performance
reasons.)
But anyway, as you can see ${0} always exists.
I looked at the other thread but don't see an immediate connection as
that was checking for non-existing path members.
Cheers,

I have no idea why they are doing that. ${0} always gives back the
name of the program you ran. It is very common to use $0 in scripts
in order to refer to itself in text given back to the user.
If you need to get the current directory $PWD is always available and
you don't need to use your own variable for it. (just like in linux,
unix, and other similar environments following that they are not
exactly equal)
For a reference point I'll give you what cygwin gave me when I ran the
command as you showed it.
Robert@Shinji-PC ~
$ cygpath -ma ${0}/../
cygpath: unknown option -- b
Try `cygpath --help' for more information.
That would be expected because for me ${0} (during echo) gave back
-bash as the output and cygpath will interpret that as additional
options.
I also checked to make sure cygpath is working as expected (at least
the way I think it should be working) and it tested ok.

While this is not a cmake question (or a cmake mailing list) if you have experience solving this problem using cmake, would appreciate those insights as well. I found this while looking for cygwin RPATH: http://www.cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2007-October/017267.html. Perhaps the lack of RPATH support on Windows/Cygwin is the reason? RPATH is an ELF feature. Full paths to DLLs are not supported by the PE/COFF executable format. Also, Cygwin DLLs are still loaded by the Windows loader, so POSIX paths won't work, and full Windows paths won't make much sense, given that Cygwin is not always installed into C:\cygwin. The solution for this would be an ELF loader in Cygwin and a Cygwin linker which produces ELF DLLs by default. But that's quite a big project on its own and nobody seemed to have fun, time, or money, to implement this. So, maybe *next* Thursday then? Alas, I still have no cat...

It is not. As I said, without --login, when .bashrc would be loaded
directly... it is *not*.
This should be pretty easy for someone to test. Does it work for
anyone else, as I've described?
I'm up to date on my installation as of today.
.bashrc and .bash_profile serve 2 different purposes.
.bash_profile is meant for login sessions (like ssh or a local terminal)
.bashrc is meant for non-login sessions (like scp)
Commonly .bash_profile does source in .bashrc so that it gets executed too.
BTW, You don't need to do --login and -i. --login will assume -i anyways.
Dummy run on my linux box (I'll check cygwin later when I get a
chance) but this is for behavior check.

Y
shinji@icarus:~$ exit
logout
shinji@icarus:~$ bash -i
shinji@icarus:~$ echo $BASHRC
Y
shinji@icarus:~$ echo $BASH_PRO
Note I placed an export statement in .bash_profile and .bashrc to mark
if they got executed. Note that on the login shell both did get
executed and on the non-login one (forced interactive) only .bashrc
was run. .bashrc is sourced thanks to /etc/profile on my linux
system.

I managed to kluge a method to compare my installed packages with those downloaded and recorded in setup.log, thus identifying potentially missing packages and confirming that they will probably not be a problem. The listing of installed packages was gotten using cygcheck while the setup.log contained all the packages that successfully downloaded. I removed all the extraneous information in the 2 files that did not relate to packages, used vim editor capabilities to make the formatting match between the 2 files, then sorted the packages by name.

I'm not too worried about the 1 missing non-obsolete package, since setup.exe will prompt you to include packages that are needed to fulfill dependencies. However, I was surprised to see the obsolescence of autorebase. It was just recently made fully functional. Perhaps it has been folded into another package. I browsed the cygwin website documentation to find release notes that might explain this, but no luck. I also tried googling for release notes, in vain. Anyway, I will create a CD of the installation packages and test it on Monday. Thanks! It isn't obsolete. All obsolete packages get assigned to _obsolete group. _autorebase is assigned to _PostInstallLast and is still an active group. It is likely hidden by default to minimize confusion.

Proposal for changes to behavior in package list
I have a proposal to the package list. First the issue at hand. Packages that have additional dependencies add those dependencies without notifying the user indicating such. This also makes it difficult to remove packages which have cycling dependencies such as the X11 package set. In the event of a removal the package selection has you click through package options in the order of Keep, Reinstall, Source, then Uninstall. The first suggestion would potentially affect all package entries but is equally useful for the issue however the latter option would only affect currently installed packages. They both could be potentially implemented as they could be equally useful. First suggestion: Implement a prompt when a selected package has caused other packages to be marked as well. This dialog would include the newly marked packages with a Yes/No prompt if the user wants them marked. A warning could note that the packages may be required for the currently selected package to function. The user could pick no and continue clicking away in the event they are going to uninstall it anyways which is a couple more clicks away. Second suggestion: Change the order of package options to Keep, Uninstall, Reinstall, Source. This loop should prevent packages from being re-selected during intended uninstall actions such as may happen with the X11 packages. I would of gladly made the changes myself but I don't have any real programming experience. I only dabble in shell scripting.

For the second one, I'm still working on a patch that gives a right-click context menu, so that you can simply jump directly to the choice you want without going via the intermediate choices; this should at least help a bit. (It is taking longer than I expected because I kept running into and fixing bugs on the way, and I'm also busy trying to get a gcc-4.5 release at the same time, but I haven't forgotten.) For the first one, it was suggested in the earlier discussion to keep track of things that have only been added because they are dependencies, and keep track of things that have been deliberately selected by the user. Then again, it might be even simpler yet, if we just delay adding the dependencies until the user has clicked 'next' on the package choice screen, and calculate them all once at the end. (There are also other possibilities that come to mind that would be a combination of or half-way between the two.) cheers, DaveK Ahh... Ok.

Re: bash expands $1 in strange new way
On Thu, Dec 24, 2009 at 10:19 PM, David Arnstein wrote:
I have a bash shell script named xplo that worked as desired under
cygwin 1.5. It fails under cygwin 1.7. Specifically, the shell expands
the expression
$1
in a way that I simply cannot understand. This expression expanded to
the first shell script argument in cygwin 1.5. Not any more.
Here is the script xplo in its entirety:
#!/bin/bash
if [ $# -gt 1 ]
then
echo Usage: xplo path-or-file
exit 1
else
set EXPLOR='/cygdrive/c/windows/explorer.exe'
if [ $# -eq 0 ]
then
cygstart ${EXPLOR} /e,.
elif [ -f $1 ]
then
cygstart ${EXPLOR} /e,/select,`cygpath -w $1`
else
cygstart ${EXPLOR} /e,`cygpath -w $1`
fi
fi
I cd to a directory that contains an ordinary file named wongo, as
well as the shell script xplo. I execute the command
bash -x ./xplo wongo
I expect to get an instance of Windows Explorer, with folders showing,
and the file wongo selected (highlighted). This does not occur. The
text output from the above bash -x looks like this:
+ '[' 1 -gt 1 ']'
+ set EXPLOR=/cygdrive/c/windows/explorer.exe
+ '[' 1 -eq 0 ']'
+ '[' -f EXPLOR=/cygdrive/c/windows/explorer.exe ']'
++ cygpath -w EXPLOR=/cygdrive/c/windows/explorer.exe
+ cygstart '/e,EXPLOR=\cygdrive\c\windows\explorer.exe'
Unable to start 'E:\cygwin\e,EXPLOR=\cygdrive\c\windows\explorer.exe':
The specified file was not found.
I have attached the output from cygcheck -s -v -r. Thanks for any
advice.
The problem isn't bash nor how $1 is expanded. In fact $1 never gets
used in your test case when no parameters are given. Take the
following test case which does the essence of your script without the
use of cygpath or cygcheck (those are not the issue here).
#!/bin/bash
set VAR=outside
echo ${VAR}
if [ true ]
then
set VAR2=inside
echo ${VAR}
echo ${VAR2}
fi
echo ${VAR2}
If you are to run the above script the output is 4 blank lines. The
set command works differently within shell scripts than it does
outside of them. Inside shell scripts you either use export or you
don't use either one. So either replacing set with export or removing
it will fix the script completely for you. I can't test it on debian
with that change because your script uses cygcheck and cygpath but I
did test it locally and once that change was made it worked just fine.
The main difference between using export and not using it is that
export allows child processes to use the variables as well. If you
don't use it then child processes won't be able to access them. This
doesn't change parent processes at all.
*After checking man pages*
Ok. I just checked the man pages again and this is a by design
issue in how you are using set. Per the following quote for set in the
bash man page.
The remaining N arguments are positional parameters and are assigned,
in order, to $1, $2, ... $N. The special parameter # is set to N.
Source: http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bashref.html#The-Set-Builtin
(yes... this is quoted from online docs -- cygwin has a similar quote)
This test case has the same behavior on debian and cygwin so if it is
a bug then it is in bash itself and not a cygwin issue at all. I
highly doubt it is a bug though based on the above text.
#!/bin/bash
set PARM1=one PARM2=two PARM3=three
echo '$PARM1' is $PARM1
echo '$PARM2' is $PARM2
echo '$PARM3' is $PARM3
echo '$1' is $1
echo '$2' is $2
echo '$3' is $3
It should output something like the following and yes that is correct.
You may be able to understand your script behavior better now.
$PARM1 is
$PARM2 is
$PARM3 is
$1 is PARM1=one
$2 is PARM2=two
$3 is PARM3=three

According to 'man patch', patch will use the first of the following variables that is set: TMPDIR, TMP, TEMP. On my system, TMP and TEMP are both set in the Windows environment. I just confirmed this on my XP SP3 system. I initially got similar behavior to what Angelo and Robert reported, but it doesn't happen if I export TMPDIR=/tmp before running patch. Ken Actually I found setting the TMP in .bashrc worked as well. I set both TMP and TEMP in that file for use in cygwin and directed them towards /tmp. I didn't know about TMPDIR though. Coincidentally I thought to take a look at the system wide TEMP folder and I get this... shi...@balthasar /cygdrive/c/users/shinji/appdata/local/temp $ icacls . .

Yes, not all applications will work OOTB with chars 0x7f, but it was always a bug to make any assumptions for non-ASCII chars in the C locale. Applications can be fixed, right? In support of this plan, it occurs to me that any command line applications that don't speak UTF-8 would presumably be showing the same behaviour on Linux (e.g. odd column widths).

So true. I have ran sanity scans on totalvirus dot com and posted the results on the norton forum. I also updated to their most recent version and still got it. In addition I got a red flag on a different product which I know is also safe so I have notified them about that.

Re: MinTTY
Andy Koppe wrote: Charles Wilson wrote: It will be interesting to play with the codepage support (already present, apparently) in this terminal -- perhaps UTF-8 + cygwin-1.7... That would be interesting indeed, and hopefully I haven't broken any of PuTTY's Unicode support. Just set the codepage to UTF-8 to try (assuming MinTTY compiles and runs on 1.7, which I haven't yet tried). It runs on 1.7 but does not appear to execute the shell as a login one. I use bash and .bash_profile never gets executed when using MinTTY directly. I can help you debug it if you wish. Is there an overview somewhere about the Unicode features in cygwin-1.7? The obvious similarity between MinTTY and rxvt is that both use pty emulation to communicate with the inferior, which can sometimes cause issues when running native (e.g. non-cygwin) applications. But, that's not a /defect/, per se, just something that users should be aware of. Good point. I should mention that on the project page. This looks like a great addition to the cygwin-related toolbox. I look forward to seeing where you go with this in the future. First off, documentation. :) Thanks, Andy Beyond that one little bit you did a great job otherwise. The create_shortcut.js script is assuming a 1.5 setup by searching for and parsing the 1.5 registry keys which may or may not exist on a 1.7 setup. While I can setup this myself manually (I actually already did) it may be a good idea to check out the /etc/fstab file format and parse that. The starter dir will be located at HKLM\SOFTWARE\Cygwin\setup with the parameter 'rootdir'. It is a string dir. There is no trailing slash on my install here. BTW, If anyone is having trouble running the script the below command will allow you to run it regardless. .js is also associated with JavaScript and not just JScript. I had .js associated to Notepad+ on my system so it wasn't just a double-click and go. Maybe re-write the script as VBScript instead? In a command prompt with the location of the file as the current dir (e.g. if the file is on your desktop then %USERPROFILE%\Desktop should be your current dir) cscript //E:JScript desktop_shortcut.js You may replace cscript with wscript if you want window popups instead. -- Robert Pendell shi...@elite-systems.org A perfect world is one of chaos.

I can help you debug it if you wish. I stand corrected here. I checked some more. The batch script (which I forgot that I used the cygwin default one) runs bash automatically with '--login -i' appended to it. I also found that you can run a command when mintty runs as the shell. I modified cygwin.bat to execute mintty. Looks like mintty doesn't detach completely on it's own so I appended 'start' to the beginning to it. The program will continue to run but the black box will disappear. If start doesn't work then use 'cygstart' instead as that one is supplied by cygwin.

Installation fails to create fstab correctly on Server 2003
I have attempted to install Cygwin on Server 2003 and it seems to fail due to an improperly created /etc/fstab file. I have the errors created during the initial load, the fstab contents (minus comments) and the cygcheck.out file as required for error reporting. I'll wipe out and check to see if the incomplete fstab file is the cause of all the errors and issues that occur. It may also happen that adding C:\cygwin\bin will 'resolve' the issue. Doubtful but I'll have it there as well for the upcoming checks. I had added it before doing the cygcheck just so that it would find some of the utilities.

The offending line is 79 where it shows the following command:

Urgh. I screwed up again. The embarrassing fact is that I know about
this problem for weeks (or is it months already?)
I'll upload a new OpenSSH package to the 1.7 release area which
fixes that. If you want to do that at home, open ssh-host-config

with
mount -o text -f ${_win_etcdir} ${_my_etcdir}

It's ok. You guys do an excellent job and an occasional missed item

Obviously the script must be updated to deal with 1.7, I will look into it. Thanks for the response. I went ahead and told it to install as the system user. Seems to be working fine by my basic tests. I ran 2 test cron jobs. One for a date stamp and the other for a mount list. Looks like it reports the same mount table that I see when using it interactively and the date stamp was what I had expected.

ssh-host-config produces script warning
NOTE: Resending below message once. It got flagged as html the first
time around. Not sure if it made it though as it wasn't archived yet.
While setting up sshd using ssh-host-config it produces a script error
when working with the mount command but still continued to process
through to completion. This is on a clean cygwin 1.7 install with
nothing else setup yet other than inetd itself. (I setup sshd as a
inetd service).
The offending line is 79 where it shows the following command:
mount -t -f ${_win_etcdir} ${_my_etcdir}
I found removing the -t part allows the script to complete properly
(or so it seems during my debug run). This particular segment code is
related to parsing the services file in windows and potentially
removing that line from it. Anyways it appears to be installed
properly and I did a localhost test to check that.
Here is the script error produced when the -t is there during the script run.

The issue persists even after removing Cygwin. Cygwin is just a DLL. It's impossible that it influences telnet clients which are not linked against this DLL. You will have to look for the culprit elsewhere. If it helps any, I would comment that,IIRC, when I set up a dual boot system, I was a bit surprised to see that network settings in Windoze and Debian could, IIRC, effect each other. My memory may not be totally accurate but they did seem to interact. That is, IIRC, I had set a static IP on one system and it ended up being applied to the other one. I'd look for a network configuration thing that may not be stored on disk or reset during OS init. I guess those cards do have EEPROM but I have no idea what, besides maybe a MAC addres, is in them. Not sure if this is possible but it is what I remember. I think there were also issues with clock settings but again my memory isn't real clear. In any case, at least check your network settings. It it possible someone changed something irrelevant during setup. Well I don't know about the telnet issue as Corinna is right on that one. It is technically impossible for a cygwin application to affect a non-cygwin application directly. It may however be a setting in the OS that got affected. I don't know if I have installed the inetutils package however it may be worth a shot just to see if I can reproduce it myself. As for a Dual-boot affecting each others' networking configuration. It can happen but it isn't due to an OS interaction. Rather Debian is requesting a static or specific ip address and the router is caching the lease. When Windows requests a new ip the old lease still exists in the router as being assigned to the adapter' mac address. The router matches the mac address to the lease and hands back the lease to Windows so both Debian and Windows have the same IP but Windows hasn't actually been setup to use it as a static address.

GCC 3.4.4-3 in version 1.7 produces an error during setup

Re: New mirror checker in operation
