Configure error: Cannot find a type to use in place of socklen_t

Hi,
I'm using rsync with cygwin (i'm working on a windows OS) but when the config script is running i get an error -
"Cannot find a type to use in place of socklen_t".

I have searched google but most of the solutions said to edit the configure file but none of their files that
they are editing look like my configure file. 

Does anyone know how i might fix this error?
Thanks in advance

rsync doesn't delete unreferenced directories.

I'm using rsync to backup multiple directories, i.e.
rsync -azq --delete --relative /dog /cat /fish user <at> rsync-server::modulename
Everything works fine, except if I remove a directory from the list of 
those being backed
up, it isn't deleted on the other side.  For example:

rsync -azq --delete --relative /dog /cat /fish user <at> rsync-server::modulename
/dog /cat /fish are all backed up to the remote server.
rsync -azq --delete --relative /dog /cat user <at> rsync-server::modulename
/dog and /cat are backed up, /fish isn't deleted.

I realize this behaviour is probbably by design but is there a way to 
get rsync to
delete directories no longer being backed up?

Thanks. I opted for the straight ssh option and it 
solved the problem in a simple and foolproof way. I don't
know why I didn't think of that. But there you go. The
value of having people to talk to.

Perhaps use --delete-excluded and --exclude the directory?

[Bug 1985] New: rsync hangs reading pipe

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1985

           Summary: rsync hangs reading pipe
           Product: rsync
           Version: 2.6.3
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned <at> samba.org
        ReportedBy: ro <at> suse.de
         QAContact: rsync-qa <at> samba.org

(got this bug report as maintainer here at suse) 
If rsync runs with --link-dest and there is a named pipe in link-dest with the 
same name as one of the regular files in the source dir, rsync hangs in opening 
this pipe (to compare the content with the file). 

If the object types are different (file vs named pipe), no comparison is needed 
any more.

I would recommend snagging the cygwin source archive and looking to see
how they compile rsync.  When last I looked, I didn't see any special
configure code (which was a while back), so perhaps you just need to
install some developer packages (i.e. you might have missing header
files).

Yes, it is by design since you just omitted the directory in the arg
list, and rsync can't assume it should delete args that don't get
mentioned on successive commands.  Rsync only deletes inside directories
that it sends, so either put the items you want to backup into a single
directory and send that single directory (perhaps using excludes to
avoid sending too many dirs), or see the following message for how to
delete things remotely:

What does this mean: "ERROR: The remote path must start with a module name"

Hi, 

I have an rsync daemon running on a remote server:

# rsync --daemon

with an entry in the /etc/rsyncd.conf file "path = /panpci/arch"

On another server I want to rsync its directory, with the /panpci/arch specified in the remote rsyncd.conf file:

rsync -autWvz -e 'ssh -i /panpci/oracle/.ssh/id_dsa' orpanpci <at> pdt01::/panpci/arch /sanpci/arch/PANPCI

ERROR: The remote path must start with a module name

What does this error mean, what am I doing wrong??

Thanks,

You probably didn't really mean to use "::" -- use ":" instead (and stop
that rsync daemon -- you don't need it if you go this route).

Alternately, read the rsyncd.conf manpage to learn how to properly setup
a rsyncd.conf file, complete with one or more modules (and leave the
daemon running if you go this route).

[Bug 1985] rsync hangs reading pipe

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1985

------- Additional Comments From Uwe.Girlich <at> philosys.de  2004-11-02 23:13 -------
Created an attachment (id=753)
 --> (https://bugzilla.samba.org/attachment.cgi?id=753&action=view)
shell script to reproduce the rsync problem

This shell script creates some directories, a file and a named pipe. Then
it tries to copy the "from" directory to "to" with respect to the directory
"link". rsync is started with maximum verbose mode. It will hang opening the
pipe.
