I guess, it's a bug of run.exe which might do more work, than it should (like following symbolic links, or such stuff). This is not really a bug in run.exe, because it was never documented to work correctly with symlinks, and you'd get the same problem with any pure Windows way of invoking pdflatex anyway. But it is, arguably, a deficiency in run.exe. Hmm. I looked at the man pages, which says, that run's purpose is to hide the console windows. Hmm. Maybe i'm kind of misusing the problem right now. But is there another easy way to execute cygwin programs from outside cygwin? I think of symlinks, shell-scripts, perl-scripts, etc... Using run.exe is quite handy for these cases. You can do a few things. One is to pass an explicit parameter that tells pdfetex to use pdflatex mode (i.e., -fmt pdflatex). That's maybe a good idea - but won't work for pslatex, since pslatex is a shell script. Another is to invoke pdflatex via bash (i.e., run bash -c 'pdflatex ...'). Actually i HATE the bash -c command param1 param2 ... way of invoking commands. It needs special escaping of white spaces and other special characters, which usually nobody takes cares about causing unexpected behaviour. The way run.exe or sudo do it is much more elegant and transparent. Finally, you can look at the sources for run.exe (available via Cygwin setup) and submit a patch (look at the first argument to CreateProcess). I'm not a unix-programmer unfortunatly. I'm not very familiar with the APIs. Well, i will look into the source and try to find out, what run.exe is actually doing. But CreateProcess sounds like a windows API call.

Re: [BUG?] run.exe and pdflatex
Finally,

Hmm. So indeed run seems to use the Windows-API to create the new
rprocess. But that pdfetex knows, that is has been invoked by the name
pdflatex, must be an internal cygwin thing. Because actually, when
executing pdflatex from bash, cygwin must follow the symlink and then
executed pdfetex.exe. Still, cygwin reports to pdfetex, that it was
invoked with the command pdflatex.
So i have no clue where to start here.
Actually, i wrote a small C program. And sure, it will not hide the
console window, when startes. But it simply uses execve to start the
program given in the parameter list:
#include stdio.h
#include unistd.h
int main(int argc, char * argv[])
{
if (argc 2)
{
printf(you must give some parameters\n);
return 1;
}
int i = execve(argv[1], argv+1, NULL);
printf(execve failed: %i\n, i);
return 2;
}
I'm amazed, it even works. Anyway: after compiling it under cygwin and
putting it to /bin/myrun.exe it's possible for me to successfully start
pdflatex by using
c:\path\to\cygwin\bin\myrun.exe /usr/bin/pdflatex document.tex
Hmm. I'm not sure, in which troubles i get by going this way.

But ... wouldn't that mean that any command executed would open a console window? In your other responses, you said, that using the shell is the most preferrable way. Unfortunatly, i cannot use the shell. The method is well understood. I could easily execute cygwin stuff by using: bash -c exec \\$0\ \[EMAIL PROTECTED] program param1 param2 ... The program from which i want to execute pdflatex/pslatex/etc. (which is Texlipse, a Latex plugin for Eclipse) doesn't allow me to do so. But aside from that: is the shell really the preferred way of doing this? Doesn't the shell simply call execve again? Following what you said, it should be best to call bash.exe from run.exe to solve all the issues. So the question is: who does all the checks (shebang, etc.)? - the execve implementation?

Re: [rxvt packaging bug?] New rxvt introduces broken font default

Re: rvxt-20050409-1 console problem
After installing rxvt-20050409-1, starting rxvt from a console bash hides that console. To reproduce: start a console bash, type rxvt or rxvt (either way), observe that the bash window goes away (the process is still running, though). I don't think the cygcheck output is relevant, since this looks like an rxvt problem (caused by the new code to hide the console). Chuck, if you can't reproduce this, please let me know and I'll provide more details. AFAIK, there are EXE-files that open a console, and others, that don't. It seems, there is a flag in the EXE-files, which determines if Windows should open a console or not. So i always was annoyed by the fact, that starting rxvt directly from windows opens a console windows. Isn't it possible, to create such an EXE-file, that doesn't open a console?

Isn't it possible, to create such an EXE-file, that doesn't open a console? Would that cause any problems with cygwin? It's possible. But one (important) side effect is that window-mode applications cannot write to a console. So, rxvt --help would be useless if rxvt were to be made a window-mode app. Oops, yes. Hmm ... but ... Would rxvt.exe --help work, if you run in from a cygwin-shell? wouldn't that be sufficient? Something that i just noticed: do you have java installed? there is that javaw.exe-thing. It's such a window-mode application. And if i run javaw inside cygwin, then it prints a help-screen to the console! That would make any hide the console-code unnecessary. If there is some other possibility, to hide the console, (what is that run command that you mean?), then i would remove the hide the console-code. There are only two things, that i'd like to be abled to do: a) start rxvt.exe directly from windows without a console-windows b) run it from inside cygwin like any other app P.S.: i can reproduce the bug too. Note that my issue is actually the opposite: I start rxvt from an unrelated console, and I *want* that console to stay visible. Looks like the new console-hiding code is a bit over-eager... If I have the time, I'll take a look at the changes to see if there's a simple fix. Yes, i know.

That would make any hide the console-code unnecessary.
This is not an option in the slightest. A -mwindows application cannot
interact with the console it was invoked from! That means that all such
compiled applications would have no I/O when invoked from the command
line unless redirected to a file. Try compiling int main() {
puts(hello world); } with -mwindows and running it from a windows
console -- you get nothing. -mwindows applications are expected to
either have no console I/O or to explicitly create a new console
themselves. What isn't possible is to attach to the existing console
that it was run from.

javaw.exe (from sun's java-jre) is a window-mode application, right?

It seems to be the standard-behaviour of the windows shell (cmd.exe) to
detach the application from the console if it's starting a window-mode
application. But cygwin doesn't detach the application.
So of course, you're right if you say:
if rxvt would be a window-mode application, then you wouldn't see
anything if you execute rxvt.exe --help from the windows-shell - but i
ask myself, if this is necessary.

Re: rvxt-20050409-1 console problem
There are only two things, that i'd like to be abled to do: a) start rxvt.exe directly from windows without a console-windows b) run it from inside cygwin like any other app Use run. So if there is that nice thing called run, that avoids creating a console, do we still need the close the console-code inside rxvt? signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
Re: rvxt-20050409-1 console problem
This is not an option in the slightest. A -mwindows application cannot
interact with the console it was invoked from! That means that all such
compiled applications would have no I/O when invoked from the command
line unless redirected to a file. Try compiling int main() {
puts(hello world); } with -mwindows and running it from a windows
console -- you get nothing. -mwindows applications are expected to
either have no console I/O or to explicitly create a new console
themselves. What isn't possible is to attach to the existing console
that it was run from.
... i have to prove you wrong!
So it seem, i was wrong. I didn't say anything.

Re: rvxt-20050409-1 console problem
Shouldn't the console-hiding code be unnecessary? Here is a simple approach that I have been using (and have written to this list previously) which makes it possible to start rxvt without resorting to starting a console first: 1. Using MS Windows Explorer, locate the 'rxvt' binary in your Cygwin directory tree, for example, at c:\cygwin\bin. 2. Right-click on the 'rxvt.exe' icon and select 'Create Shortcut' from the menu. 3. Right-click on the 'Shortcut to rxvt.exe' icon and select 'Properties' from the menu. 4. In the 'Target' field, type the options that you want to specify for 'rxvt' during startup. For example, C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -e /bin/bash --login -i tells rxvt to run 'bash' as the shell, and tells bash to run as a login shell. 5. If desired, dragdrop the shortcut icon to your taskbar. Click on the icon to start 'rxvt' without using a console. Am I missing something, or is there still another reason to include the console-hiding code? You should see it, or perhaps your PC is too fast. But prior to the rxvt windows, another windows opens that gets closed immediatly. That's a console-window like the ones you see, when you run cmd.exe So the console-hiding code is the code, that causes, that the console-window disappears and that inly the rxvt-window remains. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
squid status?

I remember, that it once worked. Any clue, why squid is that broken? Nope. Sounds like it would be worthwhile to debug it. squid is strange.

Re: Cygrunsrv starts service but reports that it didn't start
Command : /usr/sbin/sshd -D for sshd, -D means, that the sshd process will _not_ detach from his parent process (which is cygrunsrv) Command : /usr/local/sbin/samhain -D and according to the docs, saimhain will _not_ detach from the parent process to become a daemon. (which would be the same behaviour than sshd -D) But you specified -D as an option to samhain and the docs say, that -D will cause that samhain does detach from its parent - which is the opposite of what you want, because you want samhain to be under the control of cygrunsrv, and therefor you want that it does detach. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated cygwin package: gnupg-1.4.2.1-1
There's possibly another sollution: Does cygwin support something like LD_RUN_PATH? Under Linux, you can embed a path into the executable binaries. The linker then additionally searches that path for libraries. That path is afaik called LD_RUN_PATH. So does cygwin support such a thing? I'm almost sure, that windows doesn't support that, but since the gpgkeys_hkp.exe is excuted by gpg using cygwin's calls, cygwin might have a look at the gpgkeys_hkp.exe-file first, and then evaluate the embedded path for searching the libraries.

Well, you may say: that's OK, but it isn't! The correct error-message should be something like file or directory already exists I tested mkdir /tmp/. on a linux-system, and it returns: # mkdir /tmp/. mkdir: cannot create directory `/tmp/.': File exists Of course, cvs isn't using the mkdir command i guess, but it's using some mkdir()-call and i guess that cygwin returns the wrong return-code and actually cvs would ignore the file exists error-code, but it gets the no such file or directory error-code.

i'm trying to use cygwin's cvs in server-mode for another application I get the following error, but on a linux-system, everything is fine!

Previous versions of Cygwin accepted it, but the change was made to reject such calls to mkdir() in order to more linux-like. I'm not sure about the errno returned, though. Right, the trailing dot is the problem _but_ the directory /tmp/cvs-serv784 is created by cvs, but cvs then additionally tries to create /tmp/cvs-serv784/. As i demonstrated, my Linux returns the error file already exists instead of cygwin's no such file or directory. So the problem is perhaps gone, if cygwin becomes more Linux-like once again ;-) A reported workaround is to use an earlier Cygwin (such as .18) but that really isn't a great idea since you will also have to downgrade a handful of other packages (coreutils, findutils, bash, libreadline, others?) Or someone may have tracked down the issue in cvs, I'm not sure. yes, that really not a good idea. I'm trying to develop a Eclipse-Plugin for local CVS without SSH.

Re: Problems with cygwin cvs over ssh.
Right. I missed the . in the original message. The change that prompted this behavior seems to be http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-cvs/2005-q3/msg00224.html. I'm assuming the motivation for this patch was to duplicate Linux's behavior (which doesn't allow trailing . in a path passed to mkdir). Indeed. Eric mentioned that the coreutils testsuite tests thsi behaviour explicitely. Since there's not much impact speedwise, we just added appropriate checks to be POIX compatible here. I want to state, that cygwin might return the wrong error-code! Instead of file already exists it returns no such file or directory. Cygwin's bahaviour: $ mkdir /tmp/. mkdir: cannot create directory `/tmp/.': No such file or directory Linux' behaviour: # mkdir /tmp/. mkdir: cannot create directory `/tmp/.': File exists Indeed, strace shows me, that on Linux mkdir() returns EEXIST in the case of a mkdir(/tmp/.)-call. Cygwin doesn't seem to do it this way, it seems to return ENOENT which would not be Linux-like ;-) Unfortunatly i don't understand the output of cygwin's strace and cannot check, what the mkdir(/tmp/.) returns there.

The funny thing is that the directory in the message *is* created before the commands are even read, and yet cvs still complains that it can't create it because of ENOENT.

Well, many people have reported that bug, but always got the response, that it's more a not implemented feature than a bug. I don't think that it will get fixed soon. -- 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/

squid blocking
hi, i've got a squid-proxy running under cygwin. there's only one squid.exe, so i guess squid doesn't use fork() etc. under cygwin - does it use fork() or thread under linux? if my squid has to answer many http-requests that block because the http-server is damn slow, even requests to fast server are only answered after all the slow requests have been done. is this some kind of cygwin-bug (e.g. non-blocking socket calls that block under cygwin) or did i miss anything in the config? -- 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: saving problem w/ postgresql
I am curious however, why you are not running this on some version of Linux. Win2k may be a great improvement over win9x, but it is still a second rate OS. don't blame him for the OS he is using! it's not even a problem with the OS, but with the software he is using. i would expect postgresql to run as stable as under linux, if there would be a native windows build, which is not the case. Cygwin is outstanding in those cases where there is no choice but to use windows. Linux is outstanding when you do have a choice. postgresql is designed to be compiled and run on a unix-os like linux and cygwin is not designed to be used on a production system, so what Greg is doing is unstable by design. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
Re: strange behaviour in cygwin 1.3.21
usually, i connect to a host with ssh, and when i'm finished, i just just hit the close-button of the console-window, which kills bash, ssh etc. now, after upgrading to cygwin 1.3.21, i cannot use the close-button as usual when i'm using ssh in that console-window. it blocks, and the windows-box occurs, which asks me if i want to kill that task. any ideas what changed, so that ssh blocks the close-button?

Re: CYGWIN Installer should setup a root environment variable
I have experienced many times situations which I would like to refer to CYGWIN's root directory from a bat script. The most generic solution would be to utilise an environment variable such as CYGROOT or (as in startxwin.bat) CYGWIN_ROOT to refer to the absolute windows pathname (e.g. D:\cygwin). This would free us from making assumptions if it was setup during the installation utility. The environment variable should be setup for system if installed for All Users. `cygpath -w /` nice idea, but how does he execute cygpath, if he doesn't know the cygwin-root? he is talking about a _batch_-script, not a shell script. there is only one solution, because even if you know cygwin's root-dir, yu cannot be sure to know cygwin's bin-dir - it could be mounted to a totally different directory. i would recomm writing shell-scripts instead of batch-scripts. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

The sample code below shows the problem.

Is there some special option I need to set to make perl always assume

Re: XWin.exe crashes

Re: XWin.exe crashes
I just installed KDE-cygwin, and I haven't gotten it start properly. Based on the errors I'm getting and the FAQs I've read, the suggestion was to make sure the paths are mounted in binmode, which involves changing a registry key. Since I'd prefer not to do that, will this patch work for me as well? you can use setup.exe to change back from textmode to binmode, but the problem is, that most of the programs won't be abled to read the text-files they've writte in textmode. Christopher Faylor always suggests linking with binmode.o - and i would recomm that too, for the KDE-cygwin project. i don't know, why they don't do it - perhaps because binmode.o is too unknown yet. but to request, that the user runs cygwin in binmode is not always possible, because migrating back from text- to binmode takes much time (you have to convert every text-file)

Re: Copy-on-write fork
Repeat after me: don't open old threads. oops ... didn't know that rule after which time is a thread an old thread? However I'll let you off this once, because you are using a newsreader and I've made the same mistake before. Thx If you think copy on write is faster, then feel free to do some tests. A website with some nice pretty graphs, and source code would be great. I can send you some code for starters, I'm sure Chris Faylor has some around too. It may well be that both of us were simply not doing the right tests. i'm a developer too, but i've haven't got much time for this, and i'm not much into C-programming anymore. if i had the time, i would be pleased to do it, but for now, i'm just a cygwin-user. My tests were based on timing a single process that allocated a large region of memory, then forked in a loop. Each forked process touched the memory allocated earlier by overwriting it with a random value. OK, now one would need statistics, how much of the fork()ed-memory is overwritten usually etc. i just wondered, how you compared the results of the time-command? it might be the case, that a program consumes more real-time, but less cpu-time. less cpu-time could be preferred, but real-time is more important from the user's point-of-view. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
Re: Initializing and cygwin.bat
As a new user I wanted to customize cygwin.bat to my system, which uses 4dos as the shell and only maintains command.com as an antique. W98 BTW. I found that various commands wouldn't work! The reason was that command.com was being called in the .pif file. I simply changed the .pif to specify %comspec% in place of c:\windows\command.com. Is there any reason setup shouldn't do this in the initial creation? Since the .pif files are of some peculiar structure I had to use explorer and the fursluginner mouse to make this change. i don't use the batch-file anymore. i changed the shortcut to execute bash.exe --login diretly, which avoids a stupid question by cmd.exe after bash exists and Ctrl-C was pressed: Abort Execution (Y/N) text may be different in englisch (using german windows) i don't know, if this work for you, but instead of changing the batch-file, you could change /etc/profile which is the first script bash.exe executes (when run with the --login paramter) starting bash without a batch-file also avoids the idle cmd.exe or commmand.com process :-) BTW: why is cygwin installed with that batch-file, and why doesn't the setup create shortcuts to the command bash.exe --login but to cygwin.bat?

Re: x-server with window-manager
For future reference, Cygwin/XFree86 is not in any way based on Xnest. i tought that i've read something like that. was it Xvfb? but it's not so important... Also, what you are trying to accomplish has nothing to do with whether a window is created by a local X client or by a remote X client with X11 forwarding. OK, that's right, i just took x-forwarding as an example. Now, to answer your question, yes, there is preliminary support for a so-called ``rootless''. However, this ``rootless'' mode still requires an X Window Manager. That is, X clients do not appear within a Windows window, they appear within an X window, but the root window is not displayed so it looks like the X apps are floating above your Windows apps. The release announcement for the ``rootless'' support is here: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2002-10/msg00160.html OK, but how to i start XWin.exe so it will work in rootless-mode? Also, I posted a slightly faster binary, Test 67, that you can download instead of Test 66: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2002-10/msg00188.html just installed it ...

I realize that English is probably not your native language, but could you elaborate on your question a little bit? I cannot understand what you are asking. Is there a project, that is developing a x-server that has an integrated window-manager so that x-forwarded windows will appear like ms-windows' native ones? I think cygwin's current x-server is based on Xnest so that all the x-forwarded windows will appear within one big window which is my XFree-Desktop and they do not seamlessly integrate into the ms-windows-desktop.
