Cygwin reliability
Hi I have been using Cygwin for the last 4 months now and find it reasonably good to use, however. I have been having continuous problems getting it to connect to the server box. The configuration is Server: Redhat 7.2 (was7.1) running xdm > Win2K Server. Sometimes it will connect sometimes it wont connect at all. I updated the Cygwin installation last week. I have an eval copy of Xwin32 which works fine and my NCD300 terminal also connects every time. Is there any tricks? Have I missed anything?

install problem
i downloaded the entire release/ directory and i got a strange problem when installing (installing everything) setup.exe crash (before even begin to install anything), so ! i try to install everything without XFree86 section, and it works, and then i manage to install step by step almost all ... packages like: XFree86-man, XFree86-nest, XFree86--prog i had to install one at the time, and other like grace i couldn't install at all (i md5sum checked everything, and is not that the problem) ... so ! question, did anyone had the same problem ? or is just my computer ? another question is that is someting else except that dumb setup.exe ? (excuse me but this is true ... it cannot resize it's own window, cannot use keys to colapse, expand, select unselect, etc., cannot use wheelmouse, it crashes ... at an old version i couldn't x fonts, AT ALL ... and that when i get to 70% of installation, and the program freeze, etc. etc.) i'm really interested in something how manually is possible ;) PS excuse my (poor) english :) -- 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/
new cygwin window from script?
Sorry if this is a repost... didn't seem to post through nntp. I'm trying to generate a new cygwin window in XP/2000, from within a tcsh script in a current cygwin window. How do I create a NEW window (as if I clicked the cygwin icon on the desktop) as opposed to a new shell within the same window? Running tcsh from the DOS/Windows command line creates a new window, as desired. However, from within cygwin, just creates a new tcsh, not a new window. Can anyone help?

Non-blocking keyboard I/O?
I have a non-blocking keyboard I/O routine I've used for years under IRIX, Solaris and Red Hat linux. It doesn't seem to work under cygwin, however. The core of it is: fcntl(0. F__SETFL, fcntl(0, F_GETFL) | O_NONBLOCK) tcgetattr(0, &termios_p); termios_p.c_lflag &= ~(ICANON | ECHO); termios_p.c_lflag &= ~(ICANON); termios_p.c_cc[VMIN] = 1; termios_p.c_cc[VTIME] = 0; tcsetattr(0, TCSANOW, &termios_p); I subsituted FIONBIO for O_NONBLOCK and both complied and ran but both versions still blocked. Is there something obvious I'm doing wrong? Is there an alternative way to do this under cygwin? TIA!

I wrote a getch() which immediately returns a -1 if no input is waiting, or the ascii value of the key if previously pressed. It's non-blocking and no "enter" or return key press is necessary. Can be easily modified for echo or non echo, blocking or non-blocking, and can count the number of keystrokes stored in the input buffer without de-queueing them. I'm happy to share... just send me an email. Compiles but doesn't back-port (run) correctly on linux or solaris. However, I have seperate versions for those machines, too.

Fw: Hello, I need help with PHP compiling and/or how to get PCTNL extension working under cygwin
I have research this issue over google and mailing list and I haven't been able to find a solution to my problem. I want to write a PHPProxyServer under CYGWIN since I don't have access to a linux box. I need the PCTNL functions so I could fork() processes, which is not supported under windows. I try decending into the extensions directory in PHP src provided by cygwinports and try to compile the extension myself. Everything seems to work fine up until the desired extension *.dll wasn't created and "make install" failed with "cp: target `/usr/lib/php/20060613/#i...@3872#' is not a directory". So I decided to try to compile the newest version of PHP available, epic failure because apparently, PHP ./configure doesn't support autoconf 2.65, only 2.13 which isn't available in the repos. I was hoping that maybe someone might have already have already compiled PCNTL extension available that I could download for PHP 5.2.6 or the new PHP binaries with PCNTL enabled? Or any support to compile PHP under cygwin? -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

Samba Client compilation on the latest DLL
Hi, I'm the maintainer of smbclient for Win32 (http://main.mswinxp.net/~lpackham/smbclient/) If I compile samba on the latest version of cygwin it now borks with a segfault. It appears that pointer initialisation isn't quite working correctly. You can grab the patch for the samba source off the page above and see what I mean. For example: This used to work... char xx_blah[255]; char *blah = xx_blah; for (int i = 0; i < 256; i++) blah[i] = 0; It now segfaults. Any ideas?

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: man-pages-linux 6.00
The following package has been upgraded in the Cygwin distribution:
* man-pages-linux 6.00
Documents the Linux kernel system calls and C library interfaces used
by programs, plus system and administrative utilities, devices, file
system, file, and data formats, and related information.
For more information, see the project home page:
https://kernel.org/doc/man-pages/
You may also search and read the pages online:
https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/
although the latest release may not yet be available.
This major release adds some section 2 and 3 pages suffixed by
const, head, or type installed in the base section directory.
As Cygwin has its own man pages with some conflicts, these man pages
are installed under /usr/share/man/linux/, so by default searching
or viewing these pages requires the option:
$ apropos -m|--systems linux ...
$ man -m|--systems linux ...
Cygwin man pages are under the default system "man", so for convenience
both systems may be specified separated by comma e.g.
$ man -m man,linux ...
The path or option may also be added explicitly to a users MANPATH or
alias e.g.
$ export MANPATH=$MANPATH:/usr/share/man/linux
$ alias apropos='apropos -m man,linux'
$ alias man='man -m man,linux'
Add -a to show both Cygwin and Linux manual pages if present, or swap
the order to prioritize Linux.
For recent changes, please see below, or after installation read
/usr/share/doc/man-pages-linux/CHANGES:
Version 6.002022-10-09
Global changes
* Man dirs:
- Move definitions of types to separate pages in man2type/ and
man3type/. Previously, they were spread (and duplicated) in other
pages, or in system_data_types.7 (with links in man3/).
- Add man3head/ for pages that document header files.
- Add man3const/ for pages that document constants.
* Licenses:
- Use SPDX-License-Identifier for licenses specified by SPDX
(including the newly-added Linux-man-pages-copyleft). This reduces
the overhead text at the top of most manual page source files.
License texts have been moved to LICENSES/.
* Build system:
- Add several make(1) targets to lint the manual pages, and also lint
and build the C programs contained in them. Use of these targets
requires unreleased versions of software, such as groff-1.23.0, so
it's not yet intended to be used by the public.
- Add targets to build tarballs of the repository.
* man(7) source:
- Improve consistency of man(7) source. Also, reduce the number of
warnings that groff(1) and mandoc(7) emit when parsing the pages
with the highest warning level. Most of these fixes were found
thanks to the new `make lint-man` target.
* Manual pages sections:
- Title (.TH):
- Remove 5th argument to TH (middle-header).
- Specify "Linux man-pages" and the version in the 4th argument
(left-footer).
- Add the LIBRARY section. This section standardizes a way to
document the library that provides a given interface.
- Add the CAVEATS section. BUGS and NOTES were serving that purpose
before, but CAVEATS is more appropriate.
- Rename the CONFORMING TO section to STANDARDS for consistency with
other projects, such as the BSDs.
- SYNOPSIS: Add the ISO C2X [[deprecated]] attribute for functions
that have been deprecated or removed.
- EXAMPLES: Improve consistency of C source code. Also, reduce the
number of warnings that several linting tools emit.
- COLOPHON: Remove section (its purpose is now served by the title).
* Repository:
- CONTRIBUTING, README, INSTALL: Document important changes in the
project organization.

In particular, note that the error only occurs when the pathname is relative, and that it occurs when the 'dirfd' is neither valid *nor* has the value AT_FDCWD. * ERRORS: combine errors into a single alphabetic list These pages split out extra errors for some APIs into a separate list. Probably, the pages are easier to read if all errors are combined into a single list. Note that there still remain a few pages where the errors are listed separately for different APIs. For the moment, it seems best to leave those pages as is, since the error lists are largely distinct in those pages. * Terminology clean-up: "mount point" ==> "mount" Many times, these pages use the terminology "mount point", where "mount" would be better. A "mount point" is the location at which a mount is attached. A "mount" is an association between a filesystem and a mount point. * accept.2 * access.2 * getpriority.2 * mlock.2 ERRORS: combine errors into a single list These pages split out errors into separate lists (perhaps per API, perhaps "may" vs "shall", perhaps "Linux-specific" vs standard(??)), but there's no good reason to do this. It makes the error list harder to read, and is inconsistent with other pages. So, combine the errors into a single list. * fanotify_mark.2 * futimesat.2 * mount_setattr.2 * statx.2 * symlink.2 * mkfifo.3 Refer the reader to openat(2) for explanation of why 'dirfd' is useful Changes to individual pages * iconv.1 * iconvconfig.8 FILES: note that files may be under /usr/lib64 rather than /lib/64 * ldd.1 Fix example command * add_key.2 * keyctl.2 * request_key.2 Note that the "libkeyutils" package provides * close_range.2 Glibc 2.34 has added a close_range() wrapper * execve.2 The pathname given to interpreter is not necessarily absolute SEE ALSO: getauxval(3) getauxval(3) is useful background regarding execve(2). * fanotify_mark.2 ERRORS: add missing EBADF error for invalid 'dirfd' * ioctl_tty.2 Update DTR example D

We still document it in standards(7), but it's an ancient language version that this project regards as obsolescent, so in the STANDARDS sections for APIs we only take into account C99 and later and POSIX.1-2001 and later (with few exceptions where older standards are relevant). * ffix: - Change \- to - where appropriate - Improve readability of numbers: - Show BCD magic numbers that are meaningful in hex as hex, rather than weird decimal numbers. - Use IEC multipliers. - Format ranges consistently using interval notation: [min, max]. * srcfix: - Use \[] escapes. Changes to individual pages * timespec.3type Update tv_nsec according to C2x. The manual pages (and other files in the repository) have been improved beyond what this changelog covers.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: man-pages-linux 6.04
The following package has been upgraded in the Cygwin distribution: * man-pages-linux 6.04 Documents the Linux kernel system calls and C library interfaces used by programs, plus system and administrative utilities, devices, file system, file, and data formats, and related information. For more information, see the project home page: https://kernel.org/doc/man-pages/ As Cygwin has its own man pages with some conflicts, these man pages are installed under /usr/share/man/man-pages-linux/, so by default searching or viewing these pages requires the option: $ apropos -m|--systems man-pages-linux ... $ man -m|--systems man-pages-linux ... Cygwin man pages are under the default system "man", so for convenience both systems may be specified separated by comma e.g. $ man -m man,man-pages-linux ... The path or option may also be added explicitly to a users MANPATH or alias e.g. $ export MANPATH=$MANPATH:/usr/share/man/man-pages-linux $ alias apropos='apropos -m man,man-pages-linux' $ alias man='man -m man,man-pages-linux' Add -a to show both Cygwin and Linux (and POSIX if companion package man-pages-posix is also installed) manual pages. For convenience and backward compatibility /usr/share/man/linux is provided as a symlink. If you prefer to see Linux man pages over Cygwin man pages, then use -m|--systems linux in the examples above, or add -m linux to a command. Release 6 added some section 2 and 3 pages suffixed by const, head, or type installed in the base section directories.
