Re: *** unable to allocate heap, heap_chunk_size 0, Win32 error 0

[Ronald van Gogh]

First of all, sorry, but I still don't know how to post a reply when I'm 
registered on the mailinglist in digest mode. And nobody seems to be able to 
tell me !

Last week I asked a question about failing scripts (error: unable to 
allocate heap. See mail of 29/9). I was then pointed to the page explaining 
how to report problems. So I did, as told, collect all the necessary 
information, put it in a mail (30/9) and posted it on the mailinglist.
And since that moment I don't hear anything anymore !

Can somebody please help me with this problem, since it's causing me really 
big problems !

Kind regards,  Ronald van Gogh

My experience was similar, and the work-around I found successful was
to launch xemacs from rxvt/bash, rather than from the Task Bar or
Start Menu.  I spent a fair amount of time attempting to discover
whether there was an environment variable which accounted for this,
but failed.

If you're _really_ obsessive (like me :-( about launching from an
icon, compile the following and point the icon at it.

Hope this helps,

#define WIN32

   memset (&start, 0, sizeof (start));

   {
  CloseHandle (child.hThread);
  CloseHandle (child.hProcess);
   }
   else
 exit(1);
   return retval;

Erm... and what's wrong with this?  It's the same as on Linux.

I'm sorry, we don't keep old versions of Cygwin around on the mirrors.
You might be able to find a *very* stale mirror which still has B20.
However, you're strongly encouraged to upgrade to the latest Cygwin, even
though it doesn't have all the wonderful features of B20, just because
everyone else uses it.  This list cannot provide more than cursory support
for B20 installations.

Come to think of it, maybe the reason we don't hear more B20 questions on
this list is because it's so wonderful and doesn't need any support?

Ouch!  Why not simply point the shortcut at 'c:\cygwin\bin\bash --login -c
"/usr/local/bin/i686-pc-cygwin/xemacs -f gnuserv-start"'?

socket operation on non-socket errors

[klavs]

Hello,

I recently upgraded my cygwin installation to the latest version: 1.5.5-1
on a win2K system with service pack 4. The kit works great except when
running simple basic commands like rsh or rlogin (telnet seem to work).
When trying to login to cvs to get the sources for rsh to rlogin to see
whether I could fix it, I got the same error

$ cvs login
Logging in to :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2401/cvs/src
CVS password:
cvs [login aborted]: reading from server: Socket operation on non-socket

$ rlogin xxx.austin.ibm.com -l root
rlogin: read: Socket operation on non-socket
rlogin: connection closed.

How do you fix this problem? I saw a bunch of mails all related to rsync,
but that was for 1.5.0-1, also there was a statement in the realease note
that it had been fixed. Either it has reappeared or it has not been fixed
for rsh, rlogin and cvs login.

Sincerely
Klavs

Because that produces an unsightly command window as well as the
desired xemacs window.  That's what all the WinMain etc. stuff is
there to defeat.

Umm, yeah, ok, make that 'c:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\run.exe /bin/bash
--login -c "/usr/local/bin/i686-pc-cygwin/xemacs -f gnuserv-start"', then.

Rolf,

The last sentence doesn't make sense.  If you're complaining about the
notification, put a "set +b" (or "set +o notify") in your .bashrc.

[Paul Bezzam]

Hello,

I have a question: I recently installed Cygwin, and I am trying to compile
a C program.  But I get this message after I use the compile command:

/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/3.0/../.i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: Cannot find
-luser32
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I am pretty new at this..Can you please offer any help.

Thanks.

Paul,

When the linker receives a -lBLAH flag, it looks for a file called
libBLAH.a (on Cygwin, also libBLAH.dll.a or BLAH.dll).  The Cygwin package
search page at  shows that "libuser32" is
contained in the w32api package.  This means that to compile your program
you need to install that package (using Cygwin setup.exe).  HTH,
Igor

Sure.  Newbies should skim the available documentation (FAQ, User Guide, 
and email archives).  These are helpful in answering allot of FAQ/newbie
questions and issues.  For this particular issue, which pops up from time
to time on this list, you should visit  to 
find out which package contains this library that you need.  Then, run setup 
and install that package.  This approach is the recommended procedure for all
cases where you're missing something you want/need.

Re: messed up user permissions from w2k terminal session

[James D Below]

In further troubleshooting, I verified the w2k sp4 the policy settings with 
another w2k sp4 system that works. No differences were found.  I did find 
that the version of cygwin that I was running was different. The version of 
cygwin on the working system is 1.3.22-1.

I removed my broken installation of cygwin 1.5.5.1 and installed 1.3.22-1 
and my system function correctly. No more "CreateFileMapping - Win32 error 5".

I have attached the cygcheck from the working installation as cygcheck.good

I have attached the cygcheck from the broken installation as cygcheck.bad

Just to verify that 1.5.5.1 still didn't work, I updated the working 
1.3.22-1 installation and sure enough the "CreateFileMapping" error 
occurred. I also tried the 1.5.4.1 version and that also had this same error.

Here is a getfacl and a ls of "ls.exe"
getfacl /bin/ls.exe
# file: /bin/ls.exe
# owner: Administrator
# group: Users
user::---
group::---
mask:rwx
other:rwx
/bin/ls -l /bin/ls
-rwxrwxrwx1 Administ Users   68608 Jun 15  2001 /bin/ls
I have never installed/built cygwin from snapshot.  I'll give it a try and 
get back with you.

thanks.

A cygcheck output wouldn't hurt in any case (please attach it, though,
rather than including it inline), but another piece of information that
might help is the output of "ls -l /bin/ls.exe; getfacl /bin/ls.exe".
BTW, "net helpmsg 5" results in "Access is denied".

compiling glib on cygwin

[Anand Kumria]

Hi,

I've been trying to replicate the build that Masahiro Sakai (CC'd) has on
his web page 
http://web.sfc.keio.ac.jp/~s01397ms/cygwin/index.html.en> of Gnome
on cygwin.

I've tried both with, and without, the patch on his website and things
seem to fail in the same place. 

Here is where things go foul:

Making all in gobject
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/root/src/glib-2.2.3-jp/gobject'

[...]

with lots more undefined references.

Has anyone seen this before, know if there is another particular patch I
should be using? Any insights and/or pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Anand

Re: messed up user permissions from w2k terminal session

[James D Below]

If I knew installing a snopshot was so convenient and easy, I would have 
done it prior to sending out my previous response.

I installed the cygwin-inst-20031002.tar.bz2 but the error still occurs.

Here is how I reproduce the error:
I launch my rdp Terminal Server Client, connect to server, log in as a user 
and run a cmd prompt window, then run H:\cygwin\cywin.bat. The 
CreateFileMapping Win32 error 5 comes up.  This only occurs from a 
non-admin account.

When I walk up to the console and login, cywin 1.5.5.1 runs just fine.

The problem does *not* occur in version cygwin version 1.3.22-1

Also, the cygchecks (cygcheck.bad and cygcheck.snapshot) were executed when 
I was logged in as administrator since the user account couldn't run 
anything under H:\cygwin

Let me know if there is anything else I should try.

thanks.

It lead me to:

http://cygnome2.sourceforge.net/test-patches/>

unfortunately the patch there for glib is essentially the same at
Masahiro's. It does have a problem though in that is changes references
to PLATFORM_WIN32 to OS_WIN32 which should be required since cygwin
provide OS_UNIX and is PLATFORM_WIN32.

I'm still checking out http://anfaenger.de/cygwin/gtk+/glib/> so
I'll let you know if that has anything slightly different.

Thanks,

 Yup. :-7

>   Igor

I had another idea; look up the postinstall launch code in setup
(script.cc/run), copy it and try to create a "testcase".

This seems to be futile though, at least I've had no luck.

I've got one idea left: recompile setup 2.415-1 by myself and try that. I'll
see how fast that gets done. I'm tired right now.
I've cvs'ed sources as:
 cvs -z3 -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs/cygwin-apps co setup
I assume this is the last available. That cvs invocation worked right out of
the box, it's real nice when it is like that.


Nevertheless I'm sending the code onto the list so that perhaps somebody can
either use them for something worthwhile, or hopefully get an idea that
helps.

Therefore, please *do* check them. A warning though: this is my first
attempt at windows-related stuff. It is mostly copied code from elsewhere
though and not very polished (of me) as such.


I created t3.cc as *.cc as the related source in setup (script.cc) is c++.
Though I removed all dependencies in an attempt to make it self contained,
which had the side effect of making it compile as *.c too.
It doesn't seem to make any difference whether *.cc/g++ or *.c/gcc is used
as extension/compiler.
 I didn't succeed in having "\\bin\\sh.exe" as "sh" parameter to the sprintf
call (changing the cygwin root accordingly); the result wouldn't launch the
script. This might be one source of "malfunction" for the intended purpose.

 Judging from this and the fact that strace (w som exceptions) hides the
problem, I'd say that something "goes wrong" inside setup just before the
script gets launched. This "wrong" affects only cygpath as it seems - given
very specific conditions. One of these conditions is that setup must have
been started from Windows (i.e. not bash, at least).

-- UTC+01, DST -> UTC+02  --


Intended method of use:
Put t3.sh in the cygwin root, then change the cygwin root literal in t3.cc
if it doesn't match your actual root. compile using m.sh and run t3.exe
after that.

In your initial post you wrote "The administrator account doesn't experience

Is the most recent experiment, is the user in question in the Administrators
group?
Also, prior to launching H:\cygwin\cywin.bat, is there any other Cygwin 
process running under that user name on the machine?
Could you try again when there is absolutely no Cygwin process running?

Yep, a security hole was fixed in recent versions, but somehow now there
is "too much" security. I have a theory but I don't have easy access to a 
terminal server to experiment.

So here are two more questions;
1) When you run 1.3.22 and you do ps -a from a Terminal Server session, do you
see all Cygwin processes on the machine or only yours?
2) With 1.5.5, can you run simple Cygwin processes, such as ps or cat,
from the cmd prompt window? 

Thanks,

Pierre

text/binary strangeness in cygwin1.dll

[Jeff]

I think I've found a bug, possibly in the Cygwin 1.5.5-1 DLL. See if my 
reasoning makes any sense. I use Joseph Allen's text editor, ver. 2.9.8 
which has been stable and working very nicely under Cygwin (which 
itself has been very stable under WinXP Pro SP1, build 2600). Originally 
written for Unix only, "joe" has no code for recognizing DOS/Windows 
line terminators, so it relies on the Cygwin mount table mechanism to 
handle that.

I frequently call joe from an editor shell (which itself is called from 
a DOS batch file), which passes the fully qualified DOS/Windows path 
name of the file to be edited to joe. Under previous Cygwin versions, 
the file would correctly open in text mode, But with the latest Cygwin, 
the file opens in binary mode (presumably), so I see the ^M's at the end 
of each line.

Now, here's the interesting part-- and the results are the same whether 
this is done from bash or from the Windows command prompt (using 
appropriate quote characters in both cases to avoid interpretations by 
either shell)-- invoking joe with the POSIX formatted path name of the 
file to be edited opens the file according to the mount table, but 
invoking it with the DOS/Windows  or mixed ("c:/path/to/file.txt") format 
opens the file in binary mode, no matter what directory it's in.

Re: Setup disabling of nonexistent virus scanners

Any response on this?

Subject: Setup disabling of nonexistent virus scanners


Hello, all -

I have noticed recently that Cygwin setup will prompt to disable a virus
scanner on my machine. This is odd, because I do not have a virus scanner
running.

After looking in the code (setup/AntiVirus.cc from CVS, v2.5 Tue Jul 29
14:14:06 2003 UTC), and after looking in the log, I must conclude that the
framework code is not using AntiVirusPage::wantsActivation() in the way that
this file expects.

Here is a complete log when I ran setup until it showed the disable virus
screen, and then hit cancel:
2003/10/01 14:39:20 Starting cygwin install, version 2.415
2003/10/01 14:39:20 Current Directory: C:\Documents and Settings\stephen\My
Documents\Cygwin
2003/10/01 14:39:20 Changing gid to Users
2003/10/01 14:39:20 Could not open service McShield for query, start and
stop. McAfee may not be installed, or we don't have access.
2003/10/01 14:53:05 Ending cygwin install

Note that detect() did in fact correctly determine that McAffe is not
installed, so KnownAVIsPresent must be false, but the disable antivirus page
was displayed regardless.

Re: messed up user permissions from w2k terminal session

[James D Below]

Hi Pierre,

I forgot to clarify the user account differences.

Ignore my first post regarding the Administrators group. I thought I had 
put my id in the admin group but I must have hit cancel because when I 
checked today it wasn't there.

If the user account is in an admin group (Domain admins or Administrators ) 
then everything is fine.


In your initial post you wrote "The administrator account doesn't experience
problem. A user account belonging in the Administrators group does."
Is the most recent experiment, is the user in question in the Administrators
group?
Also, prior to launching H:\cygwin\cywin.bat, is there any other Cygwin
process running under that user name on the machine?
nope, no other processes.

Could you try again when there is absolutely no Cygwin process running?

So here are two more questions;
1) When you run 1.3.22 and you do ps -a from a Terminal Server session, do you
see all Cygwin processes on the machine or only yours?
Only mine, only the ones that I have launched from my window/login session. 
I don't see my process in my other terminal windows.

2) With 1.5.5, can you run simple Cygwin processes, such as ps or cat,
from the cmd prompt window?
nope, only from an account with admin privileges

It appears the privilege that is assigned to a user from a "terminal 
session" is different than that of the same user logging in directly at the 
console.

I hope this helps.

thanks.

Or you could build a debug version of cygpath and attach to it with gdb
when it is hung.  Or maybe you need a debug version of the cygwin DLL or
maybe ash or bash.

It's amazing how much effort people are putting into this when something
simple could be done to actually pinpoint the problem.  We could have
been beyond all of the normal "I configured in the source directory",
"How do I get 'make install' to work in the cygwin directory", "Why is
it so hard to build" steps by now.

Isn't this the error you get if you fail to execute the bootstrap.sh script???

Re: GCC Compilation Error

[Paul Bezzam]

Igor,

Thanks a lot for pointing me in the right direction.  I did install the
package, and there was no error message.  However, when I try to execute
the .exe file that results in compiling the C file(hello.c), I get:
bash: hello.exe: command not found

Can you please offer your insight?

Thanks again.

Paul

Igor,

Never mind.  I think I was able to get this.. I included a '.' in the PATH
variable, and everything is fine.

Thank you again for your help.

Well, that obviously isn't right.
Is there no libgetopt++/bootstrap.sh in your checkout?

Re: Command substitution

[Axel Grobe]

Sorry. But it's not the path.
This doesn't work also on a win98 system:

1|Picture=greta_08.jpg
2|identify.exe $Picture
3|PicWidth=`identify.exe $Picture; `
4|echo "Picture With: $PicWidth !"
5|echo "That's it."

Now identify.exe is available via PATH and the Picture is in my
home-dir.
Line 2 prints out on line with some information about the picture (name,
type, dimensions, etc.)
In line 3 identify.exe is executed. I can see it in the window-title.
However, the variable remains empty.

I can change the line to
3|PicWidth=`identify.exe -verbose $Picture `
Now a lot of information about the picture is printed via line 4.

You can easily build your own with a larger dialog. For now though,
there is a patch going through rather hideous merging pains, which gives
us a resizable chooser.

There goes my incentive to get the cygwin
setup program configurable & buildable
here; I was going to try to write a patch
to make the main window resizable.

:)

Cordially,

Yes, MVC is nice - and I wish we where there. As it stands we are in
transition, just cleaning up things as we go. The long term goal is a
console mode setup, and a gui setup, with the same core.

Well, if MVC was new and interesting, can I suggest you obtain (from
your Uni library perhaps) the Gang of four book "Design Patterns". It's
a library of software design idioms (of which MVC is just one).

I've heard good things about struts. Really though, MVC is a design
approach. MVC frameworks are frameworks that use that approach - you can
easily have MVC without such a framework.

Nope... sorry :( I've been very busy with schoolwork and haven't had
time to source dive to find the real source of this problem.

Strange that more programs have not failed to build because of this.
It's probably specific to the libraries we're buidling which both have
to do with ID3s? maybe some shared code?

It'll really make my day if anyone on the list can shed some light on

not been executed (or at least haven't run successfully).
After further research in the mailing lists, I believe my problem is 
similar to one discussed this April on the mailing list. The message that 
contained the first real diagnosis is:
  http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-04/msg00432.html
Which diagnoses the problem as having something to do with privileges 
which are more strongly checked with sh than with bash. My W2K machine is 
not part of a domain, and I'm installing as an administrator-privileged 
account for all users.
I thought I'd record for the list that I fixed my problem with the 
following steps:
 - Created a C:\cygwin directory in Windows Explorer
 - Disconnected it from inheriting privileges from C:\ and made the 
following changes:
   + Added full control for the "Users" group (and deleted full control 
for "Authenticated Users")
   + Changed the owner to my login account (was "Administrators)
 - Did an install

Unfortunately, I don't know which of the two changes was sufficient to fix 
the problem, although I'm happy to do more analysis on request. I'm also 
insufficiently informed as to venture a sufficiently educated guess as to 
whether the problem is in sh, in setup, or elsewhere in cygwin; I will note 
that I had other problems beyond postinstall sh problems, generally with 
processes feeling that they had insufficient privileges to read or create 
files (bash couldn't copy the default files to create my home directory, 
cron couldn't start up due to a privileges problem I didn't record).

Many thanks to Pierre Humblet for helping me to figure this out off-list 
and to all others.

Ash woes. [Was: Re: Installation & Uninstallation issues ]

[Pierre A. Humblet]

The problem recently reported by Tim Dierks in

turns out to be identical to the one investigated in


The scripts are executable but ash refuses to execute them.
Ash uses various methods to make that decision, none of which
is correct. It should be patched to use access(), as it already
does for its built-in test. PTC.

Perhaps the setup postinstall scripts should change to using bash.
Its behavior is correct and will avoid frustrations.

This is your problem right here -- bootstrap.sh is invoked directly, not
via "sh".  Since it doesn't have executable permission, it is reported as
"not found"...  This is weird -- it should have executable permissions
after checkout from CVS.  Are you running on a FAT or FAT32 partition?

It appears that the following commit removed the
wincap.has_delete_on_close() check:

http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-cvs/2003-q1/msg00400.html

Specifically, the following hunk:

-  if (!win32_name.isremote ()
- || (GetFileAttributes (win32_name) == INVALID_FILE_ATTRIBUTES
- || wincap.has_delete_on_close ()))
+  if (GetFileAttributes (win32_name) == INVALID_FILE_ATTRIBUTES
+ || !win32_name.isremote ())

AFAICT, the ChangeLog is not congruent with the above.  Did another
unrelated change sneak in accidentally?

BTW, there seemed to be some gyration regarding this section of unlink()
during that time period:

It'd be nice it I could get rid of it. I have to use
#!/bin/bash in my scripts, change rxvt (the X11 version)
because it defaults to sh, use "shell bash" in my .screenrc...

If setup starts using bash, can I get rid of ash, or something
would still use it ?

Frédéric,

bash should be fully sh-compatible.  If you want to replicate the Linux
setup, simply rename /bin/sh to /bin/ash and hardlink (or symlink)
/bin/bash to /bin/sh (you will get a noticeable startup time increase for
your scripts, which was the original reason for the ash package, but I
doubt you'd have too many other problems -- except you won't be able to
detect non-portable shell scripts on Cygwin anymore).

Thanks, I'll do that. I remember when I tried as a symlink and
something hung setup (I guess setup doesn't handle them ?). It
wasn't the XFree86-bin-icons issue, which also hung when I
reverted the symlink.

I'll go through the archives to see what I should do for
XFree86-bin-icons since I had to use 'Skip' it in the last
installs.

Re: Is multithreaded profiling on cygwin possible?

Actually, I think I was only partially correct. 
Time for the main thread is accumulated, but function calls
are counted for all threads. This creates misleading data.

Thanks very much, this advice is a great start.
I didnt see any way in the mcount function (winsup/cygwin/mcount.c)
to specify a particular thread. I did see the possibility of calling
moncontrol(1) to enable time accumulation for a particular thread,
and searching dejanews, noticed that this is a
recognised approach to multithreaded profiling.

Sometimes per-thread profiling is useful, but a flat profile is what
I want for now. Not so much for optimisation, but porting. If a thread
is taking x% cpu on system 1 and y% cpu on system 2, then per-thread
profiling is useful. If the whole application is running much too slow,
then the flat profile is useful. I havent figured out how to get per-thread
cpu on cygwin yet anyway.


You commented that dll code is difficult to profile. Would you kindly
send me a few references to this, or keyword sets, my searching is blank.
I am aware of the "profiling cygwin" information, and assume you mean
extra to this.

Sorry, I was incorrect. I meant by saving the profiling timer ITIMER_PROF before
thread creation and resetting after, in the thread, cpu profiling was possible.

I am afraid that this email is the sum of my current knowledge about cygwin
profiling. But if I find out anything else, I will post it.

which suggests that it is possible to check the

Well, all I know is that for me, bootstrap.sh had executable permissions

Moving devices from 98SE to XP and back again

[fergus]

This is a file-handling problem that I have noticed in other contexts too.

Windows 98/SE is good (faultless?) at preserving upper case and lower case
in filenames, whether long or short or with spaces. However, I have noticed
when moving devices back and forth between 98 and XP machines, that XP is
nothing like as careful, and that in circumstances that I have not yet
precisely identified, one can suddenly lose this distinction when all 8.3
filenames that had been all lower case become all upper case.

Mixtures of case in filenames are preserved (libW11.dll stays libW11.dll,
XWin.exe stays XWin.exe) and so are long file names (cygcrypto.dll stays
cygcrypto.dll) but in all other cases (less.exe, cygwin1.dll) the change
takes place (LESS.EXE, CYGWIN1.DLL).

In an important respect this does not matter at all: Windows is daft enough
not to know there is a difference and so it does not notice it when seeking
and reading a file. Eg when starting Cygwin it does not matter that
cygwin1.dll has become CYGWIN1.DLL. But: Cygwin does notice, and once there,
ls cyg* presents a quite different response to ls CYG* (for instance). So
this is a very nasty occurrence, once it has happened.

I appreciate that the list is well populated with traffic on the subject of
long and short filenames but I have not found the answers to the following:
(1) when moving devices between different OS as described, is there a
particular class of activity that will cause this transformation? (Maybe
something to do with pursuing activities in a XP Command Prompt window, but
I can't confirm this.) (2) assuming the activity is a useful one to be
continued, is there some protection that can be implemented against the
transformation taking place?

Thank you.

Fergus
