I wish it were as simple as you suggest, but the STARTXWIN.BAT already starts XTERM as a login shell with the following command: run xterm ... bash -l Just to be thorough, I tried changing the "-l" flag to "--login -i" and "--login", but the same message appears. After some further digging around, I've isolated the problem to a specific line of the "/etc/profile.d/lilypond-profile.sh" script run by /etc/profile. Near the end of that script is a section which sets the TEXMF environment variable: ... # Add the installation directory to the teTeX system tree, # see Documentation/misc/fontinstallation if [ -z `echo $TEXMF | grep "$datadir"` ]; then TEXMF="{$datadir,"`kpsexpand \\$TEXMF`"}" export TEXMF fi ... If I then add some judicious "echo $TEXMF" statements before and after the line containing "kpexpand", it reveals that TEXMF is empty before that line, and receives the following value after the error is generated: {/usr/share/lilypond/2.2.0,/usr/share/texmf} This is exactly the same value as TEXMF receives when I am not using the X server, so it's more an annoyance than a problem, I suppose. Still, it would be interesting to get to the cause of it.

Out of necessity in rather generic form. There is monitoring window where some information about some items is presented in graphical form. One can choose from many maps on which part of the information is presented. Information is collected dynamically, i.e. queries are sent to these items. First, one just gets window with background on which items can be seen as soon as information about them is collected, i.e. first window form and backround and then subsequently the itmes appear. This how the application IS supposed to work. Now how it works: It just does not overcome the phase of window form and background it stays in this phase for a while and quits afterwards, without showing anything senseful. This happens only in single mode while displaying back from Sun and it happens only on cygwin XFree86 server, no other X-servers are affected.

This then happens for all open and new X-windows. I cannot give explicit instructions how to reproduce this, but for example, yesterday it happened as follows: - start new X server using startxwin.bat (Xwin -multiwindow -clipboard) - in the xterm, I typed "cd somedir; emacs&" that's it. emacs came up and my (X) pointer disappeared. However, this is not reproducible though. I have this both on NT 4.0sp6a and XP sp1. cygwin-setup says that all my packages are up-to-date, except that I'm still using cygwin.dll version 1.5.9-1.

Either on the sun or on cygwin. The main difference between singlewindow and multiwindow mode is the integrated window manager which maps the X11 windows to win32 windows.

This then happens for all open and new X-windows. I believe that this problem has been fixed in the source code but has not made its way into an official build. If possible grab the sources and have a build. There is one known cause of this: XP's remote desktop feature. When you come back to your machine after having a remote desktop session the cursor will disappear. There could be others as well. hth From jduda@oasissemi.com Thu Jun 3 17:11:00 2004 From: jduda@oasissemi.com (Jim Duda) Date: Thu, 03 Jun 2004 17:11:00 -0000 Subject: startx hangs on WinXP Message-ID: <001801c4498d$f57b4750$7e00a8c0@JDuda> Yes, I've tried using twm, and it appears to work fine.

We had a hard time convincing Harold it was a real problem, but I think he finally understood. I didn't bother following through with it, though, because I heard Kensuke was working on a new implementation of the internal window manager, and I hoped that it would be fixed then. Anyway, someone else suggested that as a workaround you can change the default cursor yourself. I believe original credit goes to Colin Harrison, but basically I have this command after the server is started in my startxwin.bat: REM Set default cursor - useful for -multiwindow window manager which uses 'X' run xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr -fg white -bg black I even gave a patch for startxwin.bat so this would get added in the distribution, but it never happened (maybe we didn't get Harold convinced, after all :-). Though I could see an argument that the patch should be a little more smart and only change the cursor if you are running -multiwindow mode.

It is so simple and effective that I think it would make an excellent FAQ entry until the whole matter is properly resolved by fixing the native window manager. I did check the FAQ before sending mail to the list. Now that this major annoyance with the native window manager has been "cured," let me mention one other problem that became more noticeable. Whenever a "tool tip" pops up (e.g. hovering over a toolbar button), the window loses focus until the tool tip disappears.

I had a similar issue with disappearing cursor though maybe different way of getting there (still very annoying). I found a way to repeat it regularly. I have a dual head setup and start with; 'start /B XWin' which opens a separate DOS window. With the DOS window on one monitor, the XWin window on the other. If I focused on the DOS window, then the XWin, the cursor would disappear once the XWin became selected. With the new binary this doesn't happen.

I have experienced the same problem with X on WinXP, almost every time I try to start XWin -multiwindow, XWin will hang after outputting: "winInitMultiWindowWM - Hello".

Have you tried pasting with the middle mouse button? If that solves your problem, realize that the various X applications may have their own methods and you need to discover how to do it properly for each.

AFAIK, this is cygwin working as normal, i.e., it is not a bug. The code in question is in select.cc.

OK, so the faq is correct to a limited extent. Take out the diagnostic section and the fix works. 1. the mount correctly pointed at the fonts directory 2. their were hundreds of fonts files in the directory However, I still got the missing font message. I decided to uninstall/reinstall the files that they listed in the FAQ. OK, the setup program didn't have a ReInstall option as the FAQ said it would - I uninstalled, but then the files didn't appear in the list to install! I was selecting the local directory where I had burned the cygwin release files, I chose download from the internet and now I could select them for installation. Long story short, X works on Cygwin now. Thanks Igor for sticking to it. Will Will Senn wrote: | Kyle, | | I'm sorry, this was not answered.

Yet, after several download attempts I have had more trouble than usual with installing and getting started with Cygwin/X. Maybe I have done something wrong (see below), but in my opinion the current setup wizard is unusual and/or too advanced for the average Windows user. Therefore I would suggest the following easy, known and simplyfied selections on a first setup wizard: o Minimum installation o Typical installation o Custom installation o Minimum installation could include the minimum requiered cygwin&x packages to run remote sessions via XDMCP (which I would guess most often is the need for the Windows users to use X). o Typical could be minimum plus more recommended packages/tools to run cygwin&X. o Custom could next lead to the current setup wizard with free selections among all packages. My trouble installation experience: ----------------------------------- First I thought that the setup "All default" should fit in typical cases to run X, didn't change this "pre-selection" and downloaded from Internet, run setup again and installed from the local directory. However, I wasn't able to find startxwin.bat to start X. Consulting the user guide again, and next the setup wizard, verified that the required "xorg-x11-base" package did not install using with the "default" pre-selection. But after this install, I still I was not able to find startxwin.bat to start X. Searching again, I verified that the X-startup-scripts directory was empty. I run setup again and downloaded the X-startup-scripts. From one or another reason I also had to run setup once more, to download and install xterm. (my ISDN line had some trouble with the long time ftp download, and lost the connection with the server). Now I am able to start X and get an xterm window, but haven't currently yet a computer to test the remote sessions via XDMCP. After this attempts I think I have got installed alltoo much packages for this (simle) purpose. Checking my cygwin download ftp-directory shows size 83,9 Mb containing 130 files and 420 dierctories. The cygwin root installation directory shows size 222 Mb containing 17768 files and 896 directories! Is it possible to list which packages is required selected to get a "Minimum installation as described above (size, no of files and dirs), mayby also recommended packages for a "Typical installation".

This was discussed 1 or 2 months ago. Cygwin/X is designed to be installed with the cygwin installer. We will not provide an extra installer.

From the faq: [David Dawson] For whatever reason, certain versions of Solaris need fonts that are not provided by Cygwin/X; There is more about Solaris in http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html maybe it helps.

I couldn't find them in recent mailing list archives. 1. Is an Israeli keyboard handled by the server? I managed to get it to work with "-xkblayout us,il", but it was not automatically detected. I have just realized that the case of Israeli keyboard is a bit special to latin-based computer users, as a Hebrew keyboard will seldom be the only one defined. It is simply not practicaly to work a computer with only a hebrew keyboard. As such, both Windows and X need to have both keyboards defined. The problem is that my X and windows keyboard swiching runs out of sync. Add to that that there is no indication what X keyboard langauge is currently is (-xkboptions grp_led:scroll did not work as it does on Linux), and I have a problem. I'm considering writing a program that keeps them in sync, but I would like to know current status first. 2. How is access control handled by the server? The docs seem to hint there is no access control at all. My expeirence shows that xhost works (and is required), but that xauth doesn't find anything to work with. Is MIT cookie based authentication supported? How do I turn it on? 3. Does the server handle the WM_ENDSESSION message? I'm having some difficulties bringing windows down when the server is running. 4. Why is X.Org's config file not being used?

You coukld try xkbvleds. This will show a window with simple leds which shows the internal led state. > 2. How is access control handled by the server?

Some time ago users posted scripts which generated cookies with md5sum. Search the mailing list archive for md5sum and xauth. This should bring up some pointers to the scripts. > 3.

We had some limited support for the configfile. With beginning integration into the freedesktop xserver project we disabled it again. The code depends on sources from the XFree86 project which were not available in the xserver source. bye ago -- Alexander.Gottwald@s1999.tu-chemnitz.de http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723 From alexander.gottwald@s1999.tu-chemnitz.de Mon Jun 7 14:00:00 2004 From: alexander.gottwald@s1999.tu-chemnitz.de (Alexander Gottwald) Date: Mon, 07 Jun 2004 14:00:00 -0000 Subject: Differnce between Xfree and Xorg In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: On Mon, 7 Jun 2004, aroushdi wrote: > Alexander Gottwald wrote: > > aroushdi wrote: > > > >>Fatal server error: > >>Xserver: failed to bind to -from address: icc68651 > > > > > > I've build a small test program which will query the interface address > > which xwin tries to bind to. > > > > get it from http://www.tu-chemnitz.de/~goal/xfree/gethostbyname.tar.gz > > unpack it, run ./gethostbyname icc68651 and report the output. > > > > bye > > ago > > > > NP: [:SITD:] - Laughingstock (No Compromise Remix) > Hi Alex , Please find below the output of gethostbyname.

This has just started when we switch from Gnome to KDE for our Xwindowing..... When the main script to start Xwin is run, Xwin starts fine and we can log into the linux host. However, after 30 seconds (and I have tried setting this longer) when the script to start xwinclip is run, xwinclip starts and then dies 95% of the time; if it does not die immediately, it will die a couple minutes later. When we run a start xwinclip script, xwinclip tries to start and then it dies. On perhaps one out of fifteen attempts xwinclip will stay started, HOWEVER, if it does stay running the clipboard functions will work, BUT then after a very few minutes the Xwin stuff (i.e. the KDE linux session that is running) will start to slooooowww way down and freeze up. If I am quick enough and I can kill the xwinclip program, then the Xwin will not freeze -- it will recover. Otherwise, the Xwin will freeze totally -- and in two cases, completely and totally freeze the Win95 PC. I have tried commenting out the start script for xwinclip and using the -clipboard option instead, but that did NOT enable the clipboard to work in either direction between Win95 and the linux applications. ===== We have been happily using Cygwin/XFree86 since updating to what every XFree86 was *current on November 19, 2003* -- I still don't know how to tell you what version number of XFree86 stuff that is. We use Windows 95 PCs (I know, I know) as workstations from which we log into a host server running RedHat 8. All our workstations seem to be equally affected by this problem. Up to a couple days ago, we had been using GDM to login and Gnome for the RedHat desktop, but as the result "upgrading" some linux packages on the server so that we could install a package on the linux server, the Gnome stopped functioning. We had planned to go to KDE anyway, so we did it. We are logging into a host server KDE 3.2.2 (most recent) desktop session via kdm. The host is running Red Hat 8.0 with all current updates available from Red Hat and/or Fedora Legacy (kernel 2.4.20-30.8, XFree86 4.2.1-23). The host KDE has been upgraded to the most current version 3.2.2 available from KDE Red Hat project. The host is dual PIII 1G with 3G RAM and IBM/Mylex SCSI RAID. Within the host sessions users run one or more (up to four) Mozilla browser/mail windows and several terminal/konsole windows (up to 15) running character apps such as Informix Perform screens, LEX word processing, VI editing, etc., etc. Occasional use is made of KDE file manager, OpenOffice, and the like.

Meanwhile there have been many changes to the clipboard code regarding stability and integration into the xserver. The xwinclip development has been discontinued. I'm afraid, but the only useful solution is to upgrade the Cygwin/X packages and to use the integrated clipboard manager. They are now called xorg-x11-* and supersede the XFree86-* packages. bye ago NP: Silke Bischoff - No Paradise -- Alexander.Gottwald@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723 From aroushdi@hotmail.com Tue Jun 8 07:15:00 2004 From: aroushdi@hotmail.com (aroushdi) Date: Tue, 08 Jun 2004 07:15:00 -0000 Subject: XWin and multiple users In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Igor Pechtchanski wrote: > On Mon, 24 May 2004, Alexander Gottwald wrote: > > >>Kris Thielemans wrote: >> >> >>>Hi >>> >>>I started a thread on this a few months ago.

Took me a month corresponding back & forth with a software vendor before I narrow it down to Cygwin. From a user perspective, all I could tell was that the connection was disconnected, so the first impression was the vendor's software misbehaving. With that said, I concur with Ago that either Windows's Winsuck2 stack is misbehaving or ZoneAlarm has modified the TCP/IP stack wrongly (i.e. a bug) to cause select() to disconnect other sessions.

Haase) Date: Wed, 09 Jun 2004 15:00:00 -0000 Subject: Call for contributors / maintainers Message-ID: <51-1175292902.20040609170017@familiehaase.de> Hello All, I'm looking for helpers. Goal is to get all (or most) base libraries into the Cygwin net release so you could try to build GUI applications that don't need a full blown GNOME desktop (e.g. Abiword, DIA, GIMP, Gnucash, Gnumeric, Sketch, Sodipodi from www.gnome.org/gnome-office/ or wvWare, Inkscape, Gnofract 4D, Conglomerate, GtkAda, Terraform, Bluefish to mention just a few;) and on the long end, to get a full blown GNOME desktop for Cygwin. What is still missing is the base of most of these packages: glib/gtk+, I've already finished the build of glib-2.4.2 but atk, pango, gtk+ are pending. I'll offer to include these four base libraries all together in the next few days (if everything works as expected). Good news is, glib builds with minor tweaks and all tests but one are passing (including all threads tests, the test that fails is based on fork() and I guess there is some problem with the test, but not with glib or cygwin). I already have offered some libraries, e.g. littlecms/lcms and libmng are already uploaded to the mirrors, libxml2, libxslt, freetype2, fontconfig are already Cygwin packages, curently waiting for review is libart_lgpl. There are some more base libraries which needs to be included to get GUI applications and later GNOME up and running, since there are so many, I cannot mention all here. Have a look here for what is needed for a full GNOME desktop: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/desktop/2.6/2.6.1/sources/ Many of the GNOME sources build without problems, however, there are few packages which will need some more investigation. Many of the Office applications: http://www.gnome.org/gnome-office/ will run without full GNOME, e.g. GIMP or Sodipodi. See the requirements for GIMP: http://www.gimp.org/source/ The basic requirements are already available now (after libart was reviewed and uploaded), but I want also the plugins, from the plugin requirements is still missing: librsvg, Scalable Vector Graphics. To have a complete librsvg package, gdk-pixbuf is needed which itself needs glib/gtk+ and it is the same game with other libraries, you got the picture. What I'm looking for now are volunteers who want to contribute and *maintain* one, two or more packages. Some are without dependencies and not difficult to build, e.g. littlecms is a small C library, very fast and stable. There will be no more than two or three updates a year. There are existing packages which you make take over from me or from other maintainers so they / me have a little more time to work on new packages, there are lots of libraries which I have currently on my todo list, so no need to take over the boring job of maintaining a package which doesn't require more than occasionally rebuilds. You may say, "I want to have Gnucash", so go get the sources, and try to build it. If there are prerequisites missing, ask if somewhere available already and if not, build them too and offer them for inclusion. Some basic information about how to contrbute / maintain a package are available online: http://cygwin.com/setup.html Get started now!

When I tried to open it I got a fatal error message saying that the Cygwin/X will exit. The Xwin has started with the command /usr/X11R6/bin/Xwin -multiwindow -clipboard" (this is the default). I looked at the file "/tmp/Xwin.log" and it said: "Fatal server error: InitOutput - Duplicate invocation on display number: 0. Exiting." Then I looked at the archives and found this solution to the above problem. "This means the first started X server is still running. startxwin does two things: - start the X server - start xterm as client If you want to start xterm twice, install the X-start-menu-icons and start xterm from Start->Programs->Cygwin-X->XTerm bye ago" When I tried to follow these steps, I could not open Start->Programs->Cygwin-X->XTerm. When I clicked on it it just would not do anything. I would really appreciate any advise on how to fix this problem, V __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Friends. Fun.

To be able to start XWin when another user is already running it, change the startup in startxwin.bat from XWin to XWin :1 and adjust the string for display accordingly (from :0.0 to :1.0).

Instead of reinstalling everything with UNIX line endings, you could have simply issued a mount -f -b c:/cygwin/tmp /tmp (provided your Cygwin root is in c:/cygwin). There were two or three threads on this in the past few days -- I'm surprised it hasn't come up in your thread as well. Just FYI.

Actually, I started to respond similarly but since this is specifically not about the Cygwin/X that we release, I thought maybe it was actually on-topic here.

Where is it and how do I set it to 0, or any other value that might be correct? 2. The problem is that Cygwin can't find the X-server. I don't get any error messages. Starting Cygwin with or without a x-server (not Cygwin/X) running results in just the same thing. Running Cygwin/X works fine, apart from an 100% CPU usage, as described in in the FAQ. Running Cygwin/X *and* another x-server, such as Exceed, causes problems, such as dissaparing cursors and the like. I'm sorry, I can't describe it better than that. 3. Of course, since that the problem is caused by a firewall (as described in the FAQ) I could disable that. But, as I am sitting on an unprotected university network, it takes about 30 seconds for my XP machine to be hacked. Do not think I have not tried that one already. And it's not funny! If this isn't a common problem with a simple solution, I don't think I'll manage to fix it. I don't know enough about the stuff to write my own config files and things.

It's still a cygwin- question, not so ? Erik can install Exceed on his PC, and use a graphical X11- environment (e.g. kde-cygwin) started from within Cygwin, and running on his Exceed X11- server, can't he ? e.g. (hypothesis shell == bash, PC running X11- server= bbbPC) in Windows: - activate your Exceed X11- server (make sure every user can connect) in Cygwin: - export DISPLAY=bbbPC:0 - kmines & (or some other graphical program) There's a lot of other possible X11- configurations, this is just a (very) simple one. There's a lot more explanation to be found on such X11- issues and configuration in the different Linux HOWTO's, though ... (try www.tldp.org). BUT, Erik, I would by far *not* exclude a WRONG DNS (be it client or server) setup for your computer (/network), as I once had a similar performance issue indeed result in very poor X performance ...

Message-ID: <20040615031518.73102.qmail@web51607.mail.yahoo.com> I'm using the latest Cygwin/X for Windows XP. I use xinit to start X server on my local computer, then connect to a remote linux computer by 'ssh -X'. Many clients work properly, i.e. xemacs, mozilla, etc. However, the pointer does not work good when I start Mathematica(V5) on the remote linux computer. The error information is, X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 38 (X_QueryPointer) Resource id in failed request: 0x3a Serial number of failed request: 23406 Current serial number in output stream: 23406 As long as I move my pointer to any Mathematica window, that error message will appear on the window where the Mathematica is started. The Mathematica can not recognize 'Shift-Enter' 2-key combination. Usually, the Cygwin/X crashes after I use Mathematica for a long time.

I followed closely the instructions given in x.cygwin.com for downloading cygwin using the `for all` option. I then went to directory /usr/X11R6/bin/ to click on`xwindows.exe` to use only this application but the application complained that dlls could not be found. Later when I went back to setup.exe and installed `xstart` aswell using the installation method given in the URL below. What happen next was an Xwindows box appeared on my screen but I could not move the box around the screen nor did the command prompt flash either. I did not have tunnelling set at the time with SSH under MSDOS windows but I am wondering if I have done some thing wrong. http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ug/using.html#using-starting (I am by default both user and admin on my 2000 Windows ) I look forward to your reply.

I wonder where the xwindows.exe came from. The executable usually is Xwin.exe. And you can only start it directly if the cygwin\bin path is in your windows path or start Xwin from a bash shell. Did you try startxwin.bat?

All other applications like xeyes , xcalc , xclock etc. start perfectly from the Windows Start Menu. This happens on Windows XP and 2000 ( I could not test on other windows platform) Does anybody have any idea about this problem ? regards, Diego From michael.parker@st.com Wed Jun 16 13:48:00 2004 From: michael.parker@st.com (Michael PARKER) Date: Wed, 16 Jun 2004 13:48:00 -0000 Subject: "Always on top" conflict with Win2k taskbar Message-ID: <003e01c453a8$c6cb4d40$150d81a4@PETREL> Hi, I've noticed the following behaviour with the 6.7.0.0-10 release of the X server running on Win2K: If an X window in the centre of the screen has it's "Always on top" flag set, it may be freely moved around the screen (inc. over the taskbar, where it will appear on top of the taskbar). If however, the "Always on top" flag is set whilst the window is overlying the taskbar, the portion of the window overlying the taskbar is filled with white space. Moving the window wholly onto the desktop and back over the taskbar remedies the problem - it only occurs when the "Always on top" flag is set whilst the window is overlying the taskbar.

Except... I can't use the 10-key style numeric keypad on the right side of my US 104 key keyboard. If I turn on xev to monitor X events in an HPOV window, mouse clicks are the only events that appear. I can type an IP address into the Browse MIB dialog box, for instance, if I use the number keys above the normal letter keys and below the F keys, but not with the numeric keypad regardless if NumLock appears to be on or off. Additionally xev shows an event when the mouse cursor moves over or off the window, or clicks on something in the window, but not for movement within the window. No keyboard actions seem to show any X events with xev, but stuff gets typed in and the application responds, except to the numeric keypad. Where can I look to fix the keypad?

Otherwise it uses the font, font2, etc., resources which generally correspond to the control/right mouse menu. xterm can also step through the font choices when you press shifted-keypad "-" or "+".

Incidentally, most X programs will start correctly if the X-server is already running. Setting DISPLAY=0:0 as a Windows environment variable, or in you shell's rc file, will get all of them working this way, but rxvt will stop working in W11 mode if you do this (in the case of the rc file, Windows shortcuts to rxvt may still start it in W11 mode).

I can enter any command and it works fine. However, I'm not able to close the window, neither with ALT-F4 nor by clicking the close button/item on the window title. The strange thing is that as soon as I tried to close the window, no further command can be executed from the TCSH's command line (e.g. ls, xlock etc.). They are just ignored. The only way to close that window is to use CTRL-D. However, executing with the BASH shell using 'xterm -e /bin/bash' and entering tcsh on the BASH command line afterwards works fine. Also rxvt gives no problem. The described problem occurs no matter whether I use XWin with -multiwindow or with xinit using fvwm2. In order to check whether perhaps my TCSH or X configuration is guilty, I switched already ~/.cshrc and ~/.Xdefaults off. No success. Please find below the output of 'cygcheck -c'.

Seems you're right. It has to do with tcsh not accepting SIGHUPs. But how could I change this? I looked into /etc/csh.login and /etc/csh.cshrc and removed also my ~/.cshrc. No evidence except that in /etc/csh.cshrc the interrupts are disabled by default using 'onintr -'. I removed that but have still the same problem. Further ideas? Thanks again for your quick support!!

It has to do with tcsh not accepting SIGHUPs. I think we can reliably reproduce this, and it's independent of any X applications (i.e., I've reproduced this on my machine with a tcsh running in a console window, and sending it a SIGHUP). > But how could I change this? > I looked into /etc/csh.login and /etc/csh.cshrc and removed also my > ~/.cshrc.

Well, now that it's reproducible outside of X, you should probably report this on the main Cygwin list as a tcsh problem (I'd make it a full initial report, with an attached cygcheck output, etc, although you can refer to this thread in the archives[*]). FWIW, I seem to recall that tcsh worked fine for me in the past (I'm a bash user, so I wouldn't have noticed this problem). It may be a bug in tcsh that manifested with the new Cygwin DLL, or a bug in the new version of Cygwin. If you're willing to help the maintainer out and do some debugging, you could try to build tcsh from source and debug info. Good luck!

Try export PATH="/usr/X11R6/bin:$PATH" gv & If this works, edit your /etc/profile to put /usr/X11R6/bin before /usr/bin and /bin in your PATH.

Ok, a couple of stumbles so far: - The tarball is named "conflict.tar.gz" -- it would be easier if it were named "conflict-20040327.tar.gz"... Not a biggie, though. - The "make install" rule should install into ${DESTDIR}${exec_prefix}, not ${exec_prefix} (same goes for manpages, etc). I can do a quick and dirty hack, but what do you think would be the "right" way? One last thing: are you willing to accept patches?

I used --prefix=/usr for all of them. gtk+ fails on the configure pass however with an error: configure:29832: checking ATK flags configure:29838: result: -I/usr/include/atk-1.0 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -Wl,--export-dynamic -latk-1.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -lintl -liconv configure:29880: gcc -o conftest.exe -g -O2 -Wall conftest.c -Wl,--export-dynamic -latk-1.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -lintl -liconv -lintl >&5 /cygdrive/c/DOCUME~1/GUYSTA~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/ccKwquso.o(.text+0x16): In function `main': /home/GuyStalnaker/installers/gtk+-2.4.3/conftest.c:75: undefined reference to `_atk_object_get_type' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status configure:29886: $? = 1 configure: failed program was: | /* confdefs.h. */ | | #define PACKAGE_NAME "gtk+" | #define PACKAGE_TARNAME "gtk+" | #define PACKAGE_VERSION "2.4.3" | #define PACKAGE_STRING "gtk+ 2.4.3" | #define PACKAGE_BUGREPORT "http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=gtk+" | #define GETTEXT_PACKAGE "gtk20" | #define STDC_HEADERS 1 | #define HAVE_SYS_TYPES_H 1 | #define HAVE_SYS_STAT_H 1 | #define HAVE_STDLIB_H 1 | #define HAVE_STRING_H 1 | #define HAVE_MEMORY_H 1 | #define HAVE_STRINGS_H 1 | #define HAVE_INTTYPES_H 1 | #define HAVE_STDINT_H 1 | #define HAVE_UNISTD_H 1 | #define HAVE_DLFCN_H 1 | #ifdef __cplusplus | extern "C" void std::exit (int) throw (); using std::exit; | #endif | #define GTK_COMPILED_WITH_DEBUGGING "minimum" | #define HAVE_LSTAT 1 | #define HAVE_MKSTEMP 1 | #define HAVE_FLOCKFILE 1 | #define HAVE_SIGSETJMP 1 | #define HAVE_LOCALE_H 1 | #define HAVE_LC_MESSAGES 1 | #define HAVE_BIND_TEXTDOMAIN_CODESET 1 | #define HAVE_GETTEXT 1 | #define HAVE_DCGETTEXT 1 | #define ENABLE_NLS 1 | #define GTK_LOCALEDIR "/usr/share/locale" | #define HAVE_BIND_TEXTDOMAIN_CODESET 1 | #define HAVE_PWD_H 1 | #define HAVE_PWD_H 1 | #define HAVE_SYS_TIME_H 1 | #define HAVE_SYS_TIME_H 1 | #define HAVE_UNISTD_H 1 | #define HAVE_UNISTD_H 1 | #define STDC_HEADERS 1 | #define RETSIGTYPE void | #define HAVE_STDLIB_H 1 | #define HAVE_UNISTD_H 1 | #define HAVE_GETPAGESIZE 1 | #define HAVE_WCHAR_H 1 | #define HAVE_WCTYPE_H 1 | #define USE_GMODULE 1 | #define HAVE_PROGRESSIVE_JPEG 1 | #define HAVE_SYS_WAIT_H 1 | #define RETSIGTYPE void | #define USE_MMX 1 | #define HAVE_SHAPE_EXT 1 | #define HAVE_XCONVERTCASE 1 | #define HAVE_X11R6 1 | #define HAVE_XKB 1 | #define XINPUT_NONE 1 | #define HAVE_RANDR 1 | #define HAVE_IPC_H 1 | #define HAVE_SHM_H 1 | #define HAVE_XSHM_H 1 | /* end confdefs.h. */ | | /* Override any gcc2 internal prototype to avoid an error. */ | #ifdef __cplusplus | extern "C" | #endif | /* We use char because int might match the return type of a gcc2 | builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply. */ | char atk_object_get_type (); | int | main () | { | atk_object_get_type (); | ; | return 0; | } configure:29908: error: *** Cannot link to Accessibility Toolkit.

I think changing "./run_test.sh" to "${srcdir}/run_test.sh" should fix it, but I'm not sure, so I'll leave it up to you. Also, when testing, a file called "conflict" is blindly removed and created in /tmp, and the test itself doesn't seem to work under Cygwin (i.e., reports no conflicts). Could the latter have something to do with the .exe extension (just a guess)? I'll check later.

As well, I had to edit /usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig/xcursor.pc and comment out the "Requires: xrender" line, as there is no .pc file for xrender on my system, and this confuses pkg-config. Note that if you previously installed any of the glib/atk/pango, you will probably have to delete any installed files to get the compile to succeed again. However, I still can't get GTK+ to build correctly. It fails in configure when trying to detect ATK with: This seems to be caused by the fact that ATK didn't install any shared libraries (i.e. there is no /usr/local/bin/cygatk-1.0.dll on my system). >From the compilation of ATK: /bin/bash ../libtool --mode=link gcc -g -O2 -Wall -L/usr/local/lib -o libatk-1.0.la -rpath /usr/local/lib -version-info 600:0:600 atkaction.lo atkcomponent.lo atkdocument.lo atkeditabletext.lo atkgobjectaccessible.lo atkhyperlink.lo atkhypertext.lo atkimage.lo atknoopobject.lo atknoopobjectfactory.lo atkobject.lo atkobjectfactory.lo atkregistry.lo atkrelation.lo atkrelationset.lo atkselection.lo atkstate.lo atkstateset.lo atkstreamablecontent.lo atktable.lo atktext.lo atkutil.lo atkvalue.lo atk-enum-types.lo -Wl,--export-dynamic -L/usr/local/lib -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -lintl -liconv libtool: link: warning: undefined symbols not allowed in i686-pc-cygwin shared libraries Seems to me that libtool fails to build the shared library due to undefined symbols.

Actually, looks like the file created is "conflict", and the tested conflict executable is "conflict.exe". It doesn't look like .exe is part of FileTypes by default, so no conflict is found. Another clue is that "conflict -t.exe." works... FWIW, "." is explicitly added to the PATH in run_test.sh. BTW, while we're discussing run_test.sh, would it be possible to first create a unique directory, and then create the test executable in that directory, instead of doing it straight in /tmp? Something like DIR=`mktemp -d /tmp/conflict.$$.XXXXXXXX` cd $DIR touch conflict chmod 755 conflict $PROG rm -f conflict cd /tmp rm -rf $DIR I can submit the above as a patch if it helps.

Great, thanks. I've prepared a Cygwin package. I don't believe you've ever said whether you'd like to maintain it... If you would, I'll send you the build script and the patch (which basically adds a Cygwin-specific README and a setup.hint -- the rest builds OOTB). If not, I'll ITP it myself. One quick comment: Cygwin is only case-insensitive unless check_case:strict is defined in the CYGWIN environment variable. Your recent changes will cause it to generate some false positives in that case. Just FYI.

The trigger is simple: Left-click using the mouse within an xterm window running a bash shell, without dragging. Without -clipboard, there is no problem, and one can subsequently right-click to highlight a region starting from the mark set by the left-click. With -clipboard set, the system freezes and the last line of the XWin log is: winClipboardWindowProc - WM_DRAWCLIPBOARD - Clipboard does not contain CF_TEXT nor CF_UNICODETEXT. This the same trigger action I have reported on several previous occasions with earlier versions of XWin. A strace reports an error that may be significant, shortly before the hang (see the readv (12,... below that returns errno 11): 1282 145233381 [unknown (0xFFF4BCEB)] XWin 162576013 writev: writev (12, 0x312E7F8, 1) 5567 145238948 [unknown (0xFFF4BCEB)] XWin 162576013 writev: 4 = write (12, 0x312E7F8, 1), errno 0 2106 145241054 [unknown (0xFFF4BCEB)] XWin 162576013 readv: readv (12, 0x312E7F8, 1) nonblocking, sigcatchers 3 564 145241618 [unknown (0xFFF4BCEB)] XWin 162576013 peek_socket: considering handle 0x280 435 145242053 [unknown (0xFFF4BCEB)] XWin 162576013 peek_socket: adding read fd_set , fd 12 570 145242623 [unknown (0xFFF4BCEB)] XWin 162576013 peek_socket: WINSOCK_SELECT returned 0 464 145243087 [unknown (0xFFF4BCEB)] XWin 162576013 fhandler_base::ready_for_read: read_ready 0, avail 0 516 145243603 [unknown (0xFFF4BCEB)] XWin 162576013 readv: -1 = readv (12, 0x312E7F8, 1), errno 11 623 145244226 [unknown (0xFFF4BCEB)] XWin 162576013 cygwin_select: 13, 0x312E7E8, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0 465 145244691 [unknown (0xFFF4BCEB)] XWin 162576013 calloc: (1, 44) = 1019E6B0, called by 61001C79 442 145245133 [unknown (0xFFF4BCEB)] XWin 162576013 dtable::select_read: fd 12 427 145245560 [unknown (0xFFF4BCEB)] XWin 162576013 cygwin_select: to NULL, ms FFFFFFFF 460 145246020 [unknown (0xFFF4BCEB)] XWin 162576013 cygwin_select: sel.always_ready 0 485 145246505 [unknown (0xFFF4BCEB)] XWin 162576013 calloc: (1, 12328) = 1019E8B0, called by 61001C79 447 145246952 [unknown (0xFFF4BCEB)] XWin 162576013 start_thread_socket: Handle 0x280 444 145247396 [unknown (0xFFF4BCEB)] XWin 162576013 start_thread_socket: Added to readfds 4957 145252353 [unknown (0xFFF4BCEB)] XWin 162576013 start_thread_socket: exitsock 0x2D0 1130 145253483 [unknown (0xFFF4BCEB)] XWin 162576013 start_thread_socket: stuff_start 0x312E74C 1771 145255254 [unknown (0xFFF4BCEB)] XWin 162576013 cygthread::cygthread: name select_socket, id 0xFFF15033 1208 145256462 [unknown (0xFFF4BCEB)] XWin 162576013 cygthread::cygthread: activated thread_sync 0x260 954 145257416 [select_socket] XWin 162576013 thread_socket: stuff_start 0x101A18D4 92 145257508 [unknown (0xFFF4BCEB)] XWin 162576013 select_stuff::wait: m 2, ms 4294967295 The last trace line is the above select_stuff::wait at the time of the freeze. There is some additional tracing after terminate with a kill -9. Note that this strace looks pretty much the same as ones I've submitted before, down to the errno 11 on a readv of fd 12 just before the freeze. A more complete strace from a point where XWin seems to be working, to the point of freeze, is available upon request. I hope this helps. BTW, I used -logverbose 255, but this produces the same output as -logverbose 3. Note also that the XWin log contains two log entries that start with a NULL character, so there is a problem with the log text or logging code too. These occur at lines 47 and 49 of the XWin.log. This has also been previously reported.

You can't open two instances of XWin without making some modifications to the startup scripts. But in general this is not what you want. If you wan't another terminal window, start xterm from the start menu (install the package which provides these entries first) but do not call startxwin (or startx) twice. > A fatal error has ofccurred and Cygwin/X will now exit. > Please open /tmp/XWin.log for more information. > > Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project > Release: 6.7.0.0-10 > Contact: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com > Xwin was started with the following command-line > > /usr/X11R6/bin/XWin -multiwindow -clipboard > ===================================================================== > > I couldn't see /tmp/XWin.log on my computer. > > Could you please tell me how do I solve this problem ?

C P http://nkeakf.os.amiss1573biz.us/f74/ In some Government offices the clerks, upon arrival in the morning, have to sign their names in an "attendance book". This book provides space for signature, time of arrival, and "remarks." Ten minutes after the hour and official draws a red line under the last arrival's name, and all those coming subsequently are expected to furnish an explanation of their tardiness in the "remarks" column.When a real "London particular" occurs the number "below the line" is legion; the first of them writes: "Delayed by fog," and the rest scribble a "ditto".One morning -- a foggy one -- Mr. Jones became a proud father; but even this only caused him to be about eleven minutes late. Proudly he wrote in explanation: "Wife had twins," which was followed in due course by the usual string of "ditto's". Three tourists climbed up the tower with London's Big Ben and decided to throw their watches off the top, run down the stairs and try to catch them before they hit the ground. The first tourist threw his watch but heard it crash before the had taken three steps. the second threw his watch and made only tow steps before hearing his watch shatter . The third tourist threw his watch off the tower, went down the stairs, bought a snack at a shop up the street and walked slowly back to Big Ben in time to catch the watch." How did you do that?" asked one of his friends. " My watch is 30 minutes slow." he explained. enclavijar0balar65cogorza,erradiza adicionar.

This sounds like a very strange problem. Debugging this is not very easy. If you can easily reproduce the problem you can start logging xevents with xev and check if there are wrong events generated. The second step would be using a debug enabled xserver and trace the windows messages sent to XWin and check if there are strange messages sent and which messages produce the wrong events. bye ago NP: Lacrimosa - Sanctus -- Alexander.Gottwald@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723 From cgf-no-personal-reply-please@cygwin.com Sun Jun 27 16:21:00 2004 From: cgf-no-personal-reply-please@cygwin.com (Christopher Faylor) Date: Sun, 27 Jun 2004 16:21:00 -0000 Subject: cygwin and DISPLAY and opening Windows In-Reply-To: <20040627160037.19504.qmail@web80805.mail.yahoo.com> References: <20040627160037.19504.qmail@web80805.mail.yahoo.com> Message-ID: <20040627162024.GA8926@trixie.casa.cgf.cx> On Sun, Jun 27, 2004 at 09:00:37AM -0700, Surinder P Singh wrote: >I need some help.

As you have almost surmised, on UNIX you would have started the X window system if you wanted to use things like xterm. Cygwin is no different. You need to install and start X. So, your first step is download the xorg stuff by running setup.exe. After that, the mailing list for any more questions will be cygwin-xfree cygwin com . I've redirected replies to this message to that mailing list.

Before this switch, we were using xwinclip and could copy/paste just fine from Cygwin/X/Gnome to/from Windows 95. Inquiring of this list, I was told to upgrade Cygwin/X and to use -clipboard. I have done so, but now Cygwin/X *crashes* when copy/pasting from Cygwin/X/KDE to Windows 95.] I made a completely new install of Cygwin/X on 2004-06-26. New Cygwin setup.exe, etc., etc. I am thus using the Xorg stuff. I am using Cygwin/X running on a Windows 95 PC to connect to a Linux RedHat 8 server and to display the various linux terminal screens, Mozilla running on linux, etc., etc. Also, from one of those KDE linux terminal screens, I launch terminal screens displaying shells running on an old SCO Unixware server. My startxdmcp.bat command line is: run XWin -query %REMOTE_HOST% -once -nodecoration -lesspointer -clipboard In four hours of use, I have attempted copying from X programs to Windows 95 programs about 15 times. Cygwin/X has crashed about 7 times (i.e. in Windows 95 task manager, Cygwin says "Program not responding"). When there is a crash, there is no response from Cygwin and I have to End Task in Windows 95. -- In a number of cases, I was able to copy/paste from various Cgwin/X/KDE programs (mozilla on linux, xterm/konsole text, etc.) to (and from) Windows two or three times (if I was quick) before Cygwin crashed. Those copy/pastes *were* succesful -- until Cygwin crashed. -- In other cases, Cygwin crashed the instant that I did the copy. Most or all (?) of these cases were attempts to copy text from the old SCO Unixware server that is being displayed through the linux terminals being displayed via the Cygwin/X. (We *were* previously able to successfully do such copy/paste from the Gnome environment.) -- In no case did Cygwin continue running for more than two or three minutes after doing a copy/paste to Windows 95. -- Cygwin did seem to continue to run when doing a copy/paste *from* Windows95 *to* Cygwin/X/KDE. -- I do not believe that any of my copy/paste tests involved any "special" or "foreign" characters. I believe that my tests were all with "normal" English characters. (I stopped testing before I got to testing with the Scandinavian characters, with which I do a lot.) My Cygwin log appears to be pretty much normal (see below; it is hard to know what normal is -- there are things that fail) until the clipboard gets used and then the rest of the log is filled with perhaps 50 or 100 instances of: winClipboardErrorHandler - Error: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) I believe that our Linux server is using iso-8859-1 character encoding.

Does it also crash in very simple cases? copying from xterm for example should work. Maybe this is a problem with windows 95 but unless you start tracing this down yourself you will have bad luck.

Let me clarify how things work. If you want to unsubscribe from a mailing list, you don't send an off-topic message to the mailing list. You use the same mechanism for unsubscribing that you used to subscribing. Just go to the project's web page and click on mailing lists link and the instructions there should allow you to unsubscribe. A few other points of clarification: 1) You seem to be under the impression that the originator of the junk email was subscribed to the cygwin-xfree mailing list. They were not. Anyone can send email to the cygwin and cygwin-xfree mailing lists. There are no restrictions. That means that sometimes a spammer gets through. If you don't like it, then you have correctly come to the conclusion that unsubscribing is your best option. 2) You have apparently done no research to see what kind of filtering is already going on at the site which hosts this mailing list and you seem to be under the assumption that all spam is going through unchecked. We block a very large amount of spam that goes to this list. Sometimes some gets through but the mailing list is actively monitored and abusers are blocked based on a number of criteria. 3) The final clarification is that if you are serious about not liking spam then don't do the spammer's work for them by resending their trash to the mailing list. It is safe to assume that no one wanted to see it the first time so sending it again serves no useful purpose. >Thank You >groups@computerbums.com > >What follows is junk from a SPAMMER: >[snip] -- Christopher Faylor spammer? -> aaaspam@sourceware.org Cygwin Co-Project Leader aaaspam@duffek.com TimeSys, Inc.

In a couple cases the crash was within a few seconds and in other cases I was able to do two or three copy/paste operations before it crashed. I am afraid that I haven't a clue how to track this down myself. Does this error message give you any ideas? winClipboardErrorHandler - ERROR: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) Does the rest of the log output (in my original post) look correct? Are there any clues there? If this can't be solved, then it may mean that Windows 95 may be no longer supported for Cygwin/X. Is there any possibility that xwinclip could be used? Or is that completely useless now?

What's really weird is that I've had XFree86 working just fine for *years* in exactly this environment, but I recently allowed ZoneAlarm to "update" itself. I'm pretty sure that is what broke X; I installed more recent versions of XFree86 and Cygwin/X to see if that helped, but it didn't. I did *once* get a couple of xterms up after disabling ZoneAlarm and restarting X (on top of an already running instance) but I'm pretty sure that was just a glitch :) What should I be looking for?

The purpose of my introduction is that I am James Macheke, the first son of Zuma Macheke one of the most popular black farmer in Zimbabwe who was recently murdered in the land dispute in my country. I got your contact through network online hence decided to write you. Before the death of my father, he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of USD$14.5 million (Fourteen million, Five Hundred thousand United States dollars), in one of the private security company, as he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe this money was deposited in a box as gem stones to avoid much demurrage from security company. This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the Farms and establishment of new farms in Swaziland. This land problem came when Zimbabwean President Mr. Robert Mugabe introduced a new Land Act Reform wholly affecting the rich white farmers and some few black farmers, and this resulted to the killing and mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society. In fact a lot of people were killed because of this Land reform Act for which my father was one of the victims. It is against this background that, I and my family fled Zimbabwe for fear of our lives and are currently staying in the Netherlands where we are seeking political asylum and moreso have decided to transfer my fathers money to a more reliable foreign account. since the law of Netherlands prohibits a refugee (asylum seeker) to open any bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction throughout the territorial zone of Netherlands, As the eldest son of my father, I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account where this money could be transferred without the knowledge of my government who are bent on taking everything we have got. The South African government seems to be playing along with them. I am faced with the dilemma of moving this amount of money out of South Africa for fear of going through the same experience in future, both countries have similar political history. As a businessman,I am seeking for a partner who I have to entrust my future and that of my family in his hands, I must let you know that this transaction is risk free. If you accept to assist me and my family, all I want you to do for me, is to make an arrangements with the security company to clear the consignment(funds) from their afiliate office here in the Netherlands as i have already given directives for the consignment to be brought to the Netherlands from South Africa.But before then all modalities will have to be put in place like change of ownership to the consignment and more importantly this money I intend to use for investment. I have two options for you. Firstly you can choose to have certain percentage of the money for nominating your account for this transaction. Or you can go into partnership with me for the proper profitable investment of the money in your country. Whichever the option you want, feel free to notify me.

The company is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement whereby the company can earn a 25% working interest in a previously drilled oil and gas well in Bossier Parish, Louisiana. The farming agreement calls for Golden Opportunity to spend $250,000USD on the re-completion and hook-up for the Rinsland Well to a gas pipeline. Any remaining unused funds from the re-completion will be used for the drilling of an additional well. The Rinsland Well is a multi-zone oil and gas well with multiple re- completion opportunities. The well currently has 2,000 lbs. of pressure on a wellhead surface gauge. This pressure is coming from previously perforated zones from 9,000-9,700 feet. Work is expected to begin on the re-completion next month. The company will keep its shareholders updated as this re-completion effort and will make further news releases as new information comes available. ------------------------------------------- We Believe the SPECULATIVE NEAR TERM TARGET PRICE is - $1.39 We Believe the SPECULATIVE NEAR TERM TARGET PRICE is - $1.60 --------------- Disclaimer --------------- Information within this email contains "forward looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21B of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
