1.5.5-1 MD5 sum

2003-12-18 Thread john kampa
Hi!
I want to use cygwin in a Windows Server.
However, I don't want to install it without checking the MD5 sum first.
Does anyone knows where to find the MD5 sum for the setup.exe?
Thnx in advance,
John

Christopher,

Thanks for a reply. I have run your test case and it really works.
So then I have modified it slightly to make it similar to what my 
application is doing. Now it reproduces the behaviour of my app. 
I'm running this test below in a Windows console and using Cygwin 
console to display processes issuing 'ps' command. I have expected
the child process to be finished after some time(when main process
is blocked on 'getc()') but kill(pid, 0) returns 0.

Probably there is an issue lying beneath I'm not aware of.

#include 
#include 
#include 
#include 
#include 

static void ChildExitSigHandle(int sig)
{
  printf ("Child termination signal received...\n");
}

int
main (int argc, char **argv)
{
  int pid;
  
  signal(SIGCHLD, ChildExitSigHandle);
  
  if (argv[1])
pid = atoi(argv[1]);
  else if ((pid = fork ()) == 0)
{
  puts ("forking a process and then exiting");
  exit (0);
}
  else
{
  //int dummy;
  //wait (&dummy);
  getc(stdin);
}
  printf ("%d = kill (%d, 0)\n", kill (pid, 0), pid);
  exit (0);
}

Regards,

Maciek

Problems using libgmp.a on MSVC project.

2003-12-18 Thread Miki Tebeka
Hello All,

I'm trying to use gmp (http://www.swox.com/gmp/) with a win32 (MSVC)
project.
I've compiled the project with -mno-cygwin (using CC="gcc -mno-cygwin"
./configure) and now it
doesn't depend on cygwin1.dll (I think).

The project produced libgmp.a, I just renamed to gmp.lib and included in my
MSVC project.
However when I compile as simple program I get the following linkage errors:
Configuration: win32gmp - Win32
Debug

win32gmp.exe - 13 error(s), 3 warning(s)

I know that MSVC has alloca (_alloca) and isacii (__isascii).
Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks.

(very off-topic laptop aside) - my experience

2003-12-18 Thread Brian Kelly
cgf - I don't know how much any of this will help, especially since I
fancy myself rather low on the list of those you would entertain for
*advice* - anyhow, here goes.

I sympathize with you *completely* about struggling to find a way to
multi-task your life. I work at least a 100 or more hours a work on the
computer routinely - and am married (no kids yet). Before I even got
married, I KNEW I'd have to come up with a creative solution if I wanted
to continue working those kind of hours AND keep a wife *relatively* (I
entertain doubts that ANY wife is ever *truly*) happy.

I've been enjoying my solution for three years now, and its been BEYOND
wonderful. It's exceeded my expectations a hundred fold. Basically I
saved my money and bought a commercial grade projector. I own an Infocus
950 with a 2400 Lumen value. It originally retailed for $11,000.00. I
bought it on closeout for the unbelievable price of $4000.00 from B&H in
Manhattan. The quality is outstanding, and with the high lumen rating,
the sun can be shining in the window and the screen quality is
undiminished. My living room is small, so I had to buy a screen since I
had no white wall big enough. A 100 inch portable screen from Da-Lite
ran $700.00. It's worth every penny. It actually covers a window - and
when not in use, can be collapsed in 5 seconds to again show the window.


I spent $1000.00 buying a new three piece sectional and did not use the
middle section. Instead I moved together the couch and left-armed chaise
lounge to create a rather unique living room *bed*.

I built a stand-alone rack system from PVC and 2 inch electrical conduit
(all from Home Depot) to suspend the projector AND computer from the
ceiling since you don't want a very long digital monitor cable between
the video card and the projector. The digital cable I bought cost $80.00
and is only six feet long. It was the longest one I could find without
getting one custom made. Otherwise, beside the projector cable and
screen, everything else can be bought routinely at Best Buy or CompUSA.
Fact is, I custom built my computer myself so I could build in exactly
what I wanted. I bought the ATI All-In-Wonder Card so that I could pipe
DirecTV directly into the computer. Now I have not only a VERY
comfortable and productive work environment, but also a KICK-AA$$S home
theater entertainment system that LAUGHS at all the money people are
spending on new plasm TVs. (It does HDTV as well). I run 2000 Server on
the machine so I can do RAID and other high end things. I have NFL
Sunday ticket, so I can watch my pathetic Detroit Lions, drink a beer,
check my e-mail for more cgf meanness and work on my projects all the
while *reclined* on my chaise lounge. I use a Logitech wireless
ergonomic keyboard and wireless trackball mouse. Since the computer is
suspended from the ceiling, the actual range is increased to almost ten
feet. That's ten feet radius, so in fact I can use the keyboard and
mouse with a twenty foot circle - pretty much covers the whole room.

Because of the sectional setup, my wife can sit next to me and watch TV
- we can share a blanket, watch a DVD -WHILE- I debug and code my Perl
projects (using cygwin of course). I can be online with work via secure
dial-up (because I'm a contractor they won't give me VPN - stupid).

I also have a laptop, which I just plug into the DSL router and access
via DameWare Mini Remote Control and/or cygwin (ssh, nfs - you know the
drill). (Laptops - Darn things fry your mannhhood off when parked in
your lap for too long - but a wireless keyboard can sit there ALL day!)

Because of this setup, I'm always in the MIDDLE of the action. My wife
never feels alone and abandoned and often cuddles with me to read a book
while I work. When I'm away, she uses the *construction* as she calls it
to shop e-bay, build puzzles on JigZone.com, e-mail her friends and
family, etc. She loves it as much as I do.

This setup has DEFINITELY increased my productivity 25-30%, PLUS upped
my quality of life SUBSTANTIALLY. Anyone who sees my setup is blown away
impressed - you can actually see the *awe* in their eyes. And the whole
setup cost less than $10,000 in total to build (not to mention a few
hundred hours of time to build and setup). Not cheap by any stretch, but
something I now CAN'T POSSIBLY imagine living without. I'd recommend
this solution to anyone who does computing for a living (and anymore
that includes almost everyone).

There is a drawback however - putting in a new lamp cost a $1000.00.
OUCH!
But when considering how much I use it, it's actually a small price to
pay.

As for the computer, because it's an ordinary small server case housing
common components. If something goes wrong I just swap it out. I do
nightly incremental backups to an external hard disk via USB2 and
NovaBack.

You should SERIOUSLY consider something similar - if you can swing it.

No, except that there's no SYSTEM group and using SYSTEM as a group
is some sort of a Cygwin hack.  Using administrators as group is
actually better.  Will change at one point in future.

Re: Is cygwin_ROOT still there?

2003-12-18 Thread L. D. Marks
Thanks. A slightly tortuous solution, but this works (after adding mount
to a limited set of executables). FYI, I used a ls /cygwin/cygwin.bat
to test for the existence of cygwin on the system.


N.B., to include a snippet from startxwin.bat:

REM The path in the CYGWIN_ROOT environment variable assignment assume
REM that Cygwin is installed in a directory called 'cygwin' in the root
REM directory of the current drive.  You will only need to modify
REM CYGWIN_ROOT if you have installed Cygwin in another directory.  For
REM example, if you installed Cygwin in \foo\bar\baz\cygwin, you will need
REM to change \cygwin to \foo\bar\baz\cygwin.

Wouldn't checking for cygwin1.dll be an infinitely better test?

startxwin.bat != cygwin

This is just a convention used by one .bat file.  It is not a universally
understood convention throughout cygwin.

As I said in my response to you, you DO have to wait for a pid if you
want kill(pid, 0) to return -1.

I'm not sure why you are sending a test case which illustrates exactly
what I told you the problem is.  Apparently you didn't read the part
that I quoted above.

Aha.  So, it was you, my arch nemesis responsible for this indignity.  I
thought the beard on that "computer repairman" who came in yesterday
looked a little strange, especially with the lines of glue running down

I absolutely agree, Corinna. The correct fix is to use the

No, except that there's no SYSTEM group and using SYSTEM as a group
is some sort of a Cygwin hack.  Using administrators as group is
actually better.  Will change at one point in future.

How to make Cygwin map backspace to ASCII DEL?

2003-12-18 Thread Hannu Koivisto
Greetings,

I just upgraded all Cygwin packages to their latest versions.
Although I don't use Cygwin a lot, I'm fairly sure that I would
have noticed if backspace in an ordinary Windows console window had
ended up as ^H to a Cygwin application (zsh in this case) running
in that console window, which is what happens now.

Anyway, whatever the old behaviour was, I want backspace to
generate ASCII DEL (^?) and not ^H --- how can I make Cygwin do
that?

g77 compiling problem

2003-12-18 Thread Martin PLUS
Dear cygwin-list,

Sorry if this question has been already sent, but I am very new to the
list ! I also went to the FAQ and did not find this one:

I can't run a fortran-program that has been compiled with g77, even if
the compilation was successfull:

$ ls 
toto.f
$ g77 toto.f
$ ls
toto.f a.exe
$ a.exe
bash: a.exe: command not found
$

it's strange because the application a.exe can be launched in an
DOS-command window for example.

Do I have to specify some flags for the compilation ?

Thank you if someone can help me, regards,

and not only to the process itself as earlier versions did.

Also, the sources are now autoconf'd.

When the child process terminates its in a zombie state until its parent
reaps it by calling wait.  Thus a call to kill will return success
because the child  process still exists.  If you were to do a ps listing
in this state you would see the child designated as a zombie.  This is
basic Unix process behavior.  See for example

Updating timestamps of files on a remote computer fails

2003-12-18 Thread ajpt razenberg
Hi

Can anybody help me with the following problem:
updating timestamps of files on a remote computer fails using tar, touch,
cp, mv

The commands "tar", "touch" , "cp -p", "mv" report errors when timestamps
have to be updated on a remote computer in a local network.

example (host=computer-3)

cd //computer-1/hd_e_pc1
touch xxx

touch: setting times of `xxx': Function not implemented

example:

cd /cygdrive/e (local directory)
tar cf - xxx | (cd //computer-1/hd_i_pc1;tar xf -)

tar: xxx: Cannot utime: Function not implemented
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

example:

cp -p xxx //computer-1/hd_e_pc1
cp: preserving times for `//computer-1/hd_e_pc1/xxx': Function not
implemented

example:

mv /tmp/timestamp.3640
/cygdrive/x/logfiles_COMPUTER-3/timestamp_Hoofdbestanden.txt
mv: preserving times for
`/cygdrive/x/logfiles_COMPUTER-3/timestamp_Hoofdbestanden.txt':
Function not implemented
(x: is mounted on //computer-1/hd_i_pc1)

Additional notes:

Computer-3: WindowsXP-SP1
Computer-1: Windows98

The same commands on computer-1 (win98) are OK.
When rebooting computer-3 to windows98-SE (multiboot system) the commands
are also OK.
The problem has not always been there, but I couldn't trace which change has
caused this bug.
The only change item is a replace of the NVidea display driver by an ASUS
display driver.
The NVidea driver caused lots of blue screens. Could a "dll" file be
damaged?
WindowsXP has no problems with timestamps.
After the first time that the problems occured, I installed the most recent
version of Cygwin
(only the default files), but the problem is still there.

As luck would have it, this is due to a change that I made to allow me
to track down the other 'rsync segvs' problem.  I think I understand it
now.  It's in a section of cygwin code that I've always tried to avoid.
Guess I don't have that luxury anymore...

True but he does appear to be allot of trouble.  Maybe we should just get 
rid of segment.  Things might run much more smoothly without him.  But even 
if they don't, he won't be around to blame...

Forks/spawn test using ~latest~ CVS source 20031217 10:00AM (GMT+1)

Below a test script, use it by running run_t.sh. After some time (< 1

I don't know how many people out there have Multi CPU Xeons, but I
suspect there aren't many.  This works fine in my single CPU system,

Sorry too,
We have been surprised by our first test on a multi CPU engine, after 
one year of development without big problem (only a tee problem and 
rsync not very usable (now using robocopy instead)). And now we are 
close to the delivery on 3 Multi CPU Xeon. But probably like you, we

I know that threaded applications are difficult to develop. I think you 
are our chance to correct this.
I can do test for you, but I can't give you access to this system !

I'm going to bed, thank you.

Maybe he's implying there is funding available for working on this if
necessary?

[1.5.5] perl stuff building

2003-12-18 Thread dominix
using perl with cygwin is a must for me in a way it allow testing for
platforms dep's, but it become a real pain when there is major upgrades.
while upgrading from perl-5.8.0 to 5.8.2 I've lost Tk and mod_perl
functionality.
just that :-(
so there is questions that comes up now for what to do from now and then,
that would helps (me at least) to avoid such functionality losing.

Is there downgrade possibility ? (I have no backup off perl-5.8.0 package
and can't find it on the net) I could rebuild it but that's too long job :-\
... we can stand as a guideline
*do not upgrade until you have backup*
... that seems obvious but ... hey ! I know, mea culpa.

Do I have links thats help to rebuild these packages ? it was a real pain to
get them to works at first. (too many possibility for me) and diging the
cygwin ML become a full time job.
Finally do we have the ability to know if Tk or mod_perl are able to build
on next dist.packages of perl/cygwin. (like CPAN/TEST or so). may be some
specific version of apache, or some libs required ...
could I know _before_ installing what are the setting used to build some
software.
perl -V report different setting from 5.8.0 to 5.8.2. it could help to know
(and nice to chose) if there is support for threads, binary compat and so on
...

Cygwin port's are essential for complete range of test, so I'll find a way
out, but it would be smart to upgrade everything at once, and have resource
to talk about these specific problems. So as a starting point to help the
perl/cygwin community _if the is some_ we could start the perl/cygwin
mailing list. (or is there already one ???) in which everyone could provide
feedback to porters or modules author, cause I thing there is a lot of
perl/related things that do not fit well with this [high volume] specific
ML.

I think you really need to read this:

The fact that this is really important to you does not make me reorient
my priorities.  That's how it works.  I'm doing this for free so I get
to choose what I want to do.  Engaging in a laborious "Now try this"
testing scenario through the next week and into the Christmas holiday
was not how I planned to spend my time.

AFAICT, you are talking about fork, not thread.

Just as my usual obligatory aside: You do realize that if/when you release
your product it will have to be GPLed right?  That means you release the
source code of the product and the source code of the cygwin DLL and
any utilities you bundle with it.

Sorry too, We have been surprised by our first test on a multi CPU

now we are close to the delivery on 3 Multi CPU Xeon.  But probably
