Sorry.  The tty code isn't my specialty.  I'll let Pierre or Chris comment
on this if they feel the urge.  In general, ttys don't play that well in
pure Win32 land (which bat files are).

Broken in 1.5.6, huh?  I wonder if this is something that should have
been reported while 1.5.6 was current rather than on the day that 1.5.7
was released...

Nah...  Best to just hold off and hope for the best, I guess.

Pthread and Signalling issue seems to be resolved... :)

Hi All,

I've downloaded the latest cygwin snapshot (actually have been doing so for 
some
time in anticipation) and as usual run my series of tests which examine 
threading
signaling and sockets on cygwin. And I'm very happy to say that the signal
handling and pthreads issue brought up a couple of months ago 
(http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-12/msg00291.html)
has finally been resolved with the cygwin snapshot dated 31st January. I 
would like
to thank the person(s) who contributed the fix, even though not many 
applications
currently would find problems with it, as more and more applications are 
written
using threads and signaling rather than processes and signaling, this 
certain
problem would have inevitably become apparent.

Regards

Arash Partow

Hi Mariusz,

A better place for questions related to EKG is ekg-users at lists dot ziew
dot org

If you run win98 on vmware with 140 MB of RAM, then I would recommend buying
at least 128 MB module. It is not expensive these days.

EKG compiles successfully and works fine on cygwin, although for some months
it throws some warnings during make'ing. I use it everytime I cannot use
Miranda IM.

Program randomly hangs after upgrading to cygwin 1.5.7

This problem occured after upgrading from cygwin 1.5.5 to 1.5.7(second 
version). During this I update all other installed cygwin packages to
the current versions. (cygcheck -s -v -r is attached)

The problem is that dmake, the make utility for building OpenOffice.org
seems to hang after a while. With a while I mean after several hours,
but in different places. (As far as one can say after two tries)
For each project are new dmake processes started, so I cannot run dmake
in gdb, I have to attach to the one that fails.

Dmake is a cygwin executable:

$ cygcheck.exe /v1/cws_fix645_ooo111fix2/solenv/wntmsci8/bin/dmake.exe
d:/v1/cws_fix645_ooo111fix2/solenv/wntmsci8/bin/dmake.exe
   C:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll
     C:\WINNT\system32\ADVAPI32.DLL
       C:\WINNT\system32\NTDLL.DLL
       C:\WINNT\system32\KERNEL32.DLL
       C:\WINNT\system32\RPCRT4.DLL

$ ps
       PID  PPID   PGID WINPID  TTY  UID    STIME COMMAND
...
      1256  1108   560     728    1  500 02:42:33 /<snip>/bin/dmake

When I attach strace, I get:
$ strace -p 1256
Attached to pid 1256 (windows pid 728)
     5       5 [unknown (0x3F0)] dmake 1256 _threadinfo::remove: wait 0x0
    93      98 [unknown (0x3F0)] dmake 1256 _threadinfo::remove: removed

Daniel,

It is better to address questions of this sort to the official Cygwin
mailing list (see <http://cygwin.com/lists.html#available-lists>).  Not
only are you going to get access to more expertise than any one person can
provide, but your question (and the others' answers)  will be stored in
the (searchable) list archives for people to find later. I'm redirecting
this query to the appropriate cygwin mailing list, and setting the
Reply-To: accordingly.

To answer your question, you seem to be asking about SA_SIGINFO-style
contexts.  These aren't implemented in Cygwin (yet), but CGF (one of the
core maintainers of Cygwin) has mentioned that with some of his upcoming
changes, SA_SIGINFO support will be available.  You might want to watch
the CVS commits to see when this happens, and then either wait for a
snapshot or build your own DLL.  Note that once you do this, your
newly-built executable will have a versioned dependence, so you won't be
able to release it to people until the next official Cygwin release after

Linking problems

Hi all. I'm currently having troubles linking against a lib. The signature
it complains about certainly shows up when I search the lib. I have been
able to build against other libs in the same set (MS' Host Integration
Server API), but not against anything in this lib.

Are there a set of things to look for when link failures like this happen?
Do some windows libs get exported in different ways that require something
beyond this:

I'm compiling with both -L<libdir> and -l<libname>.  

-v doesn't seem to give me any helpful information.

TIA,

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: naim-0.11.6.5-1

naim 0.11.6.5 is now available through the Cygwin Net Release.

naim is a console client for AOL Instant Messenger, ICQ, Internet Relay
Chat, and The lily CMC. Development work is done on Linux, but naim should

includes operating systems such as BeOS, FreeBSD, Mac OS 10, NetBSD, and
Microsoft Windows using Cygwin. naim has been in development since October,
1998. More information is available from:

redirection to /dev/NULL not working in cygwin-1.5.7-1

I just upgraded to the latest 1.5.7-1:
$ uname -va
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 perun 1.5.7(0.109/3/2) 2004-01-30 19:32 i686 unknown unknown Cygwin

and noticed that my scripts which use redirection to /dev/NULL stopped 
working (they worked with the previous version 1.5.5;
$ /usr/bin/perl /d/home/.fetchyahoo/fetchyahoo.pl > /dev/NULL                   bash: /dev/NULL: No such file or directory

Does anybody else have this problem?

Gennady.
