From Alf.Vahau@upng.ac.pg Sun Jul 1 15:37:00 2001 From: Alf.Vahau@upng.ac.pg (Alfred Vahau) Date: Sun, 01 Jul 2001 15:37:00 -0000 Subject: Errors with xFree86 References: Message-ID: <3B3FB0BC.9B87DBFD@upng.ac.pg> Ed, We're almost half a day apart - hence delay in response. The problem is best posted on the mailing list. In fact in the first reply, I forgot to do a cc to cygwin/xfree86. Later I realized this and did post the reply on the mailing list. The errors you're reporting here are related to the path. The files not found are not on the path searched when startxwin.bat is executed. So as a start, I'd suggest that you print out the startxwin.bat and look at the path included in the batch file. I assume that you know what I mean by path. If you're from a Unix background, it takes quite a while to figure things out in cygwin. For the purpose of the wider cygwin and xfree86 community, I'm copying your mail to cygwin.

Alfred Vahau From horizonscience@mindspring.com Sun Jul 1 19:02:00 2001 From: horizonscience@mindspring.com (Ed Mullen) Date: Sun, 01 Jul 2001 19:02:00 -0000 Subject: Further problems with xFree86 Message-ID: I am using Windows 98 and I downloaded cygwin and xFree86-4.1.0 as an xServer. I followed all the instructions to download and install xFree86-4.1.0 and it seemed to go fine. There were no errors. The last page of the xFree86 instructions say that to start xFree86 you should doublclick startxwin.bat. The startwin.bat file is as follows: @echo off SET DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 SET PATH=.;%PATH%;\cygwin\bin;\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin rem cleanup after last run attrib -s \cygwin\tmp\.X11-unix\X0 del \cygwin\tmp\.X11-unix\X0 rmdir \cygwin\tmp\.X11-unix start XWin -screen 0 1024x768x32 -engine 4 start rxvt -fn "Lucida Console-12" -e bash start xterm -sl 1000 -sb -rightbar -ms red -fg yellow -bg black -e /usr/bin/bash start mxterm -sl 1000 -sb -rightbar -ms red -fg yellow -bg black -e /usr/bin/bash start twm REM set stty=intr ^c susp ^z start ^q stop ^s quit ^\\ erase ^? @echo on When I doubleclick this file I get several DOS screens. Some of thme have errors on them. The first DOS screen with an error on it says: rxvt: can't load font "Lucida Console-12" The second DOS screen with an error on it says: Path not found - \cygwin\tmp\.X11-unix\X0 Path not found Invalid path, not directory, or directory not empty Cannot find file 'mxterm' (or one of its components). Check to ensure the path and filename are correct and that all required libraries are available. C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin> I looked into this and found that the \cygwin\tmp folder is empty. That's why the path \cygwin\tmp\.X11-unix\X0 is not found. I don't know what to do to fix it, however. The third DOS screen with an error on it says: winFinishScreenInitFB () - Calling winCreateDefColormap () winCreateDefColormap () - Deferring to fbCreateDefColormap () error opening security policy file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/, removing from list! On investigating this, I found the folder "xserver" doesn't exist in folder X11 and a file called "SecurityPolicy" doesn't exist on the PC at all. The second error on this screen is caused by the fact that the folder "CID" does not exist in folder "fonts". Folder "fonts" has several other folders in it, however, such as 100dpi, 75dpi, encodings, misc, Pex, Speedo, and Type1. Any ideas how I can fix these problems? Ed Mullen P.S. Should I just go to 4.03? would that solve the problems?

There as a 'D' missing from the flag. 2) Add a default screen in OsVenderInit () if no screen parameters were processed by hw/xwin/InitOutput.c/ddxProcessArgument ().

Using these scripts makes the release packaging process much easier and keeps the archive names consistent. The installation script creates symlinks that were previously missing or broken, and it provides the user with several yes/no options and lots of descriptive text. Furthermore, releasing and installing with these scripts keeps the Cygwin/XFree86 installation process consistent with the XFree86 installation process on other platforms. I have updated the Cygwin/XFree86 User's Guide to reflect the new archive names and the new installation process. Suhaib has uploaded the archives to the Cygwin/XFree86 mirror network and at least one mirror has gotten the latest archives. We hope that you appreciate the new installation process, and we hope that you can work with us to iron out any remaining kinks in this new packaging and installation process.

But I have extract.exe only in /tmp directory and that is from where sh Xinstall.sh command is issued. Could you delete extract.exe from / and /bin and leave a copy only in /tmp, then try sh Xinstall.sh. You do not have to reinstall, at the first option "You appear to have..." you could answer "N" for No to abort installation. Suhaib 08:22am ssiddiqi tmp 324 #sh Xinstall.sh Welcome to the XFree86 4.1.0 installer You are strongly advised to backup your existing XFree86 installation before proceeding. This includes the /usr/X11R6 and /etc/X11 directories. The installation process will overwrite existing files in those directories, and this may include some configuration files that may have been customised. If you are installing a version different from 4.1.0, you may need an updated version of this installer script. Do you wish to continue? (y/n) [n] y Checking which OS you're running... uname reports 'CYGWIN_NT-5.1' version '1.3.3s(0.40/3/2)', architecture 'i686'. /tmp/gnu-tar: .XFree86_Version: Not found in archive /tmp/gnu-tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors Warning: can't detect the bindist version Checking for required files ... You appear to have an existing installation of X. Continuing will overwrite it. You will, however, have the option of being prompted before most configuration files are overwritten.

Thicko here had to > search for it! Harold asked me to move the startxwin.bat (for Windows NT), startxwin9x.bat for Windows 9x/ME and startxwin.sh scripts to /usr/X11R6/bin instead of /usr/X11R6/bin/startup-scripts. Those batch and shell scripts should be consider as examples. I moved them to startup-scripts because I was getting sick and tired of users complaining /B not found, rxvt not found, mxterm not found... and none of them consider to read mail archives or consider to edit a sample batch file for their use. Therefore I thought to move them to startup-script directory with a Readme file that these are sample files and users must edit them according to their ENV and installation.

Let's wait if other users also report this problem. I cannot reproduce it over here. Are you login with Administrative privileges to your Windows 2000 box?

I tested before I posted binaries and installation scripts on Saturday and I tested them again on a different machine after reading your message this morning. I do not get this error. Maybe try this >From Windows Explorer rename extract.exe to extract then execute sh install.sh command... again you can cancel out when script prompts to over write your installation. I do have extract.exe and not extract... just curious if under your Cygwin setup the script is specifically looking for extract and does not like extract.exe.

I have (mostly sealessly) installed cygwin-xfree, but I noticed that sometimes the fonts are not shown. The only error I see in the log window is the lack of Lucida-12 Console, but the rxtrm works just fine using another font, it seems.

I was playing around on Cygwin/Xfree86 UR with Internet Explorer 6 9Windows XP RC1). Words like Xfree, CVS, PATH, Server, Exec (in scripts) and tons of other commonly used words get smart tags assigned by Internet Explorer and directing traffic to Microsoft websites, MSN, and MSN Money Central etc. What a crap to monopolize the world.... Anyway it is out of topic. I was pissed off seeing even words like CVS Xfree and PATH etc are smart tagged and redirecting traffic to M$ from our Cygwin/Xfree86 site if Internet Explorer 6 RC1/Windows XP RC1 is used.

I have tried to install the Xfree packages, I execute the ./Xinstall.sh script and I get a lot of "command not found" errors, please see below. Could this be a problem with my Windows 2000 machine? I am installing it on a machine where I do not have local admin privledges, but the fact is I am able to excute these commands if I type them by hand. Any help appreciated! Graeme. # $ ./Xinstall.sh Welcome to the XFree86 4.1.0 installer You are strongly advised to backup your existing XFree86 installation before proceeding. This includes the /usr/X11R6 and /etc/X11 directories. The installation process will overwrite existing files in those directories, and this may include some configuration files that may have been customised. If you are installing a version different from 4.1.0, you may need an updated version of this installer script. Do you wish to continue?

As it requires a X server, I installed cygwin (1.3.2-1) & XFree86 4.1.0. XFree86 crashes when I use startx, but works fine with startxwin.sh. I haven't been to figure out why yet. I can run the binaries included in the XFree distribution (even the glxgears demo), but when I start Lyx, I get a dialog box, and after a few seconds the X server crashes with a stackdump.

M$ will not have smart tag feature in fimal release of IE 6 and WinXP... that is what I read at C|Net last week... because several companies threaten to sue them for directing web traffic to M$ site without their permission. I was playing after reading that article to see what is going on. Because of potential legal issues even beta releases of IE 6 and WinXP do not have smart tag turned on by default, you need to turn it on yourself.

Well, I don't know a lot about XDMCP, but I can tell you that I use it to connect to my Linux boxes all the time. Try connecting to another machine that you know to have a working XDMCP server (such as a Red Hat or Mandrake machine, which generally come with XDMCP enabled by default). I remember that people have had problems when trying to run local clients together with an XDMCP session to a remote host. Try removing all clients from your startup scripts, so that the only thing you are running is XWin -screen 0 800x600 -query U60. (I haven't had to use the -from parameter for some time now, you may be a able to drop it as well). In any case, if the above doesn't help, I think you will need to look for some general XDMCP documentation or a mailing list for that topic, as this list isn't specific to XDMCP. However, do report your results to this list, as we will then be able to update the User's Guide and FAQ to help other users that encounter your problem in the future.

It is real MOTIF and do not try to touch it with Cygwin otherwise OpenGroup will sue you, unless you pay them 3000 US$ fee.

No it should not be included if developers stuff is not installed. You can read the following URL. It list the packages which are optional.

(I haven't had to use the -from > parameter for some time now, you may be a able to drop it as well). The problem with the local clients is because of the security managment in the xserver. The clients have to authenticate to the xserver. This can be done using a) the hostname b) an token, generated by xdm xhost + or xhost hostname will enabale all connections from all, or the named hosts. But normally any client will first try the tokens from ~/.Xauthority which can be listed with "xauth list". If you have connected via xdmcp, the server knows a token, which was generated by the remote xdm. This token is only known to the server and the session (windowmanager, shell and all forked clients) on the remote machine. But the token is not known to the clients on the local machine (where the xserver runs). If you want to connect from the local host to the local xserver, you must copy the token. if you use ssh, this might help (not tested) xauth add $(ssh remotehost xauth list localhost:0) This should copy the token to the local computer. > In any case, if the above doesn't help, I think you will need to look for > some general XDMCP documentation or a mailing list for that topic, as this > list isn't specific to XDMCP.

The config files for xdm are very well documented.

We need to patch build script. The lib*.dll should be Xbin.tgz and lib*.a together with lib/X11/config should have been in Xprog.tgz. I will check build scripts, but I think we used the wild card lib*.* which dumped the lib*.a into wrong archive.

The RedHat modmap seems to work fine. The only small problem now is that the norwegian characters don't show up in Xterm. Is there and 8-bit or Isolatin-1 switch that should be turned on?

Of course, because of the cygwin layer, XFree in windows is quite a bit slower than XFree in most UNIX flavors on the same hardware. I was wondering why this is... to get a handle on it. Windows, in general is slower than most Unix flavors. That is the first problem, but then how does cygwin slow things down? Does it have to do with DLLs? For instance, the latency for an XSync (which is really just a call to XGetInputFocus) on XFree under cygwin is much longer than in Linux on the same machine. Are we dealing with network handling in the cygwin layer? Possibly the select call is implemented slowly? Or might this have to do with the way Windows handles its scheduler? I am very curious about this, so if anyone knows what it is about cygwin/windows that makes XFree so much slower. Long Live Open Source!!!

WinME is usually slower because of the structure of the operating system and the 16bit code. But of course the XFree86 4/RedHat 7.1 on the same machine was faster but Cygwin/XFree86 on Win2K was comparable > Long Live Open Source!!!

If I run it on the same machine, but using a Linux box as X server, it runs fine and creates the $HOME/.lyx directory.

But since all systems I can access either don't show this error or are not debuggable (486 and few memory) I can't check it. You might try reinstalling the network drivers.

Not really. First because of legal issues. I might be sued for breaking into the computer. Second I would have to work with console gdb since X over modem dialup is not very usable. I'm busy for the next month but maybe I'll find some time to get into the problem. My brothers computer show the same error but it's very slow and It's pain to debug on it. So I ask again, If someone can give me a hint how I can bring a win9x or win2k installation to show the error, It would help me a lot since I could setup a VMWare for testing. bye ago -- Alexander.Gottwald@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de http://www.gotti.org phone: +49 3725 349 80 80 mobile: +49 172 7854017 From cgf@redhat.com Wed Jul 4 09:10:00 2001 From: cgf@redhat.com (Christopher Faylor) Date: Wed, 04 Jul 2001 09:10:00 -0000 Subject: [OFF TOPIC] mailing list question References: Message-ID: <20010704120016.A7165@redhat.com> On Wed, Jul 04, 2001 at 03:28:29PM +0200, Rouyre Fr?d?ric wrote: >Would it be possible to add something to mail in order of being able to >filter them when they arrive in our client?

While I can filter on the To|CC fields, within Outlook, this is a client-only filter and will not filter the Cygwin messages until I download them. Most of my mail correspondance is via dialup to my company and if I don't check email frequently then I have to wait first for the messages to download and then for the filter to move 100+ messages to the appropriate filter. I am on several other mail reflectors, and in those they have a tag on the subject line that I can search for which now becomes a server-based filter. One example is the OpenView Forum International (ovforum). They place a tag on the subject line that is [ovforum]. When I download my mail those messages go to a different folder and I can read them later at my leisure. <\soapbox> Thanks, Jim Nowak -----Original Message----- From: Rouyre Fr????d????ric To: cygwin-xfree@sources.redhat.com Sent: 7/4/01 8:28 AM Subject: [OFF TOPIC] mailing list question Would it be possible to add something to mail in order of being able to filter them when they arrive in our client?

You have to have SSH daemon running on the server. you can then do the following to get your desired results: - start X from the cygwin prompt (you will need the following files ".xinitrc" and ".xserverrc") using the provided script "startx" - setup "ssh-agent" in ".xinitrc" so that it loads automatically <-- this will allow to ssh to the server without your passphrase all the time - also have a ssh command in the ".xinitrc" like "ssh -X -A -l " or "ssh -X -A -l -i " if you cannot get your ssh-agent to work smoothly. remember to read all the man files for ssh. The above should only be used as as a guideline.

Message-ID: Hi everyone, I've been using Cygwin for a few weeks now and I love it. Today, I decided to try getting xfree86 to run on it. So I downloaded the required files and followed the installation instructions. But I'm running into a problem.

But the script itself gets hung at this point and I have to ctrl-C to break out of it. I've read in the instructions that I have to run xwin.exe and then lauch another script via the startxwin.bat file, but this file isn't on my system (I even searched for all .bat files, to no avail). I'm running Cygwin on top of Win98 (please don't groan). Any advice would be appreciated.

Message-ID: All, Okay, I was being stupid. I did all the extractions but I never extracted the install scripts (whcih is why I had no startxwin.bat file). So now I've been able to launch x and run a few simple programs, and I'm pretty happy with it.

I installed XFree86 4.1.0 and now, although I can manually start an xterm window, I can't start a CDE session on the Solaris box. The same configuration works with the AIX box. This works - brings up the CDE login: XWin -ac -screen 0 640x480x16 -query AIXHostName -from MyPC This doesn't work - brings up a black screen, displays a wait cursor and hangs: XWin -ac -screen 0 640x480x16 -query SolarisHostName -from MyPC After a while XWin outputs the following message: XDM: too many keepalive retransmissions, declaring session dead and then the session is restarted and hangs again. Configuration of the Solaris 5.8 box: xhost on Solaris says "access control disabled, clients can connect from any host". /usr/dt/config/Xaccess contains: * # grant service to all remote displays * CHOOSER BROADCAST #any indirect host can get a chooser /usr/dt/config/Xservers contains: :0 Local local_uid@console root /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun :0 -nobanner It seems like a configuration problem on the Solaris or a bug in XFree86.

All that was necessary was to start one up, specifying a known port number. I did this: xfs -port 1234 & (other people may need to edit their xfs config file first) Then you can specify the -fp option to your X server with the protocol, host and port of the font server (e.g. -fp tcp/dolphin:1234). If you have problems you can test that the font server is present by using the "fslsfonts" command. So if the font server was started up as described above, you can query it using the following command: fslsfonts -server dolphin:1234 Oliver "Roy Razon" on 10/07/2001 12:20:39 To: Oliver S Dungey/FSG/CSC@CSC cc: Subject: RE: Xfree hangs with Solaris 8 Hi, I have a similar problem, except my session hangs BEFORE the CDE login screen appears.

I believe that it should at least fix the problem for users running Aventail Connect. It fixed the problem for me on Windows 98 SE and Windows 2000 Pro with Aventail Connect 3.21. All clients pop up successfully regardless of whether they are in the exception list in the Aventail config file. The problem, as Mark Oskin pointed out earlier in this list, is with the support for the close-on-exec flag on socket descriptors. I came to the same conclusion in my own testing. Anyway, something about the way that the cygwin1.dll was implementing the close-on-exec flag was causing Aventail to mark the descriptor as being associated with a regular file, rather than a socket. The subsequent attempt in libX11 to set the socket to non-blocking mode then failed with ENOTSOCK. It turned out that close-on-exec was not fully implemented yet in the Cygwin kernel (at least not yet for sockets). Corinna Vinschen submitted changes on June 22 to properly handle the close-on-exec flag on sockets. I am not sure why there is different behavior in this respect between Aventail's wrappers around the Winsock 2 API and the native Winsock API itself, but in any case, everything seems to work now with Corinna's fix (many thanks to Corinna for making the fix). This may or may not help the "Can't open display" problem with other VPN and firewall software but its worth a try.

Sending you the solution in case it helps. The reason for the message below appears to be because I originally set up cygwin to use DOS-type text files. I suspect this causes tar to extract the .dir files with DOS-style line-endings which can't be read by xwin. The problem went away when I re-installed cywin to use UNIX-style lines. I got the information from an answer to an e-mail contained in the attached URL (see below).

For installation Xinstall.sh uses sh shell and it cannot be changed because we do not want to alter the default installation scripts from Xfree86 Inc. These scripts are used on multiple platforms therefore it will not be good idea to change shell in those scripts. For xterm, rxvt and xmterm etc you can use tcsh or whatever shell you like... just edit the startup scripts per your choice.

I trie to use Grace 5.1.2 on a Sun Sparc, SunOS 5.8 with cygwin/xfree. It is a complete net installation for cygwin from the 4. July 2001. No extra cygwin programms installed/added. uname -r : 1.3.2(0.39/3/2) Then I installed XFree86 4.1.0 according to the User's Guide and changed to XWin-Test39.exe afterwards. Cygwin/XFree runs on a Windows 2000pro, SP1 Machine and I really have only ONE cygwin1.dll on the system. When I start other xprograms (xemacs, xclock, xv) on the Sparc machine they work with the cygwin XFree86, BUT when I start grace and open the file dialog, load a project then grace crashes the X server. Only the Cygwin XFree86, when I use XWin32 5.1 instead everything works fine.

Thanks for any help you guys can give me. yulius From uwe.menzel@genpat.uu.se Fri Jul 13 03:13:00 2001 From: uwe.menzel@genpat.uu.se (Uwe Menzel) Date: Fri, 13 Jul 2001 03:13:00 -0000 Subject: keyboard behaviour with cygwin/xfree86 References: Message-ID: <3B4EC9A8.73408E40@genpat.uu.se> Sorry for this beginner question, but I'm trying to fix my problems with the keyboard since yesterday ... I'm connecting from the PC to an alpha server using the startxwin.bat, and everything seems to work fine, except for the keyboard behaviour. I read in one of the mailing lists that I should load the correct keyboard map using the xmodmap command, e.g. "xmodmap xmodmap.fr" or something like that (for a frech keyboard in this case). Is that right ??? If so: How to get the correct keyboard map ??? Where to put this map ??? Where to put the xmodmap command ??? ( before or after the XWin.exe call in startxwin.bat) ????

Best would be in xdm config. Check your Xsetup from the xdm dir. If there is a line "hostmodmap=${ETCDIR}/Xmodmap.${DISPLAY%:*}" and later "test -r $hostmodmap && $xmodmap $hostmodmap" then it should already work. Otherwise add a line "xmodmap /etc/Xmodmap.${DISPLAY%:*}". If you have the keyboardsettings only during xdm login window, you have to copy the modmap to ~/.Xmodmap on the xdmcp host.

I had a perfectly healthy installation until I downloaded a trialware of Rational Rose (just don't ask me why.) Apparently, it brings with it a Unix environment, seemingly dubbed NuTCRACER, that among other things, has an implementation of an X server. I wish I could provide more info than that, but this NuTCRACER thing is long since gone from my machine and there is no way it makes it back. Those who like to live dangerously are encouraged to investigate. Unfortunately, the de-install is not clean, and my Xfree is still hosed. Among lasting effects, are two suspicious protocols (see the attachment below), as reported by system info tool. Where these protocols are coming from, I have no idea ???? nothing is found neither in registry, nor by grep????ing system files. Rebuilding the machine is not an option. If anyone investigates this matter, I would be extremely interested to know what delta this Nuts thing installs, and what cleanup could be done. [Protocol] ????

Message-ID: Hi, I've been following the cygwin-xfree development and can't say THANK YOU enough to Harold, Suhaib, and company. Not only have I gotten a free X-server out of the deal but following the mailing list has been quite a learning experience. I'm not a gui programmer (only a lowly sysadmin :) so the explanations about GDI, shadow framebuffers, etc, and how they apply to making X work on win32 have been really informative / educational. I have seen mails flying around about Pseudocolor support. Harold, you mentioned something about the Pseudocolor emulation (ie. 8 bit onto 16,24,32 bit) not working properly until something called the RandR extension was finished??? Would you mind explaining what this? Just a curious user. :) Many Thanks Again! Jared -- ---------------------------------------------------- Jared P.

But he is on Windows 98 and on Windows 9x/ME we have a socket issue which was fixed in recent Cygwin1.dll snapshots.

A > couple of > users after installed latest Cygwin1.dll snapshot were able to use Xserver > on 9x/ME I just looked at the code and the winscrinit.c/winCreateBoundingWindowWindowed () function would return FALSE without showing or updating the window if MapWindowPoints failed. However, winscrinit.c/winFinishScreenInitFB () was not checking the return value from pScreenPriv->pwinCreateBoundingWindow (), so the server continued happily on even when the server window was never shown. I just added a test in winFinishScreenInitFB () on the return value of pwinCreateBoundingWindow () that will return FALSE if pwinCreateBoundingWindow () fails. Pretty much nothing was going to happen if the server window is never displayed, so my assumption was correct that MapWindowPoints failing could be the root of the problem. Now, I have no idea why MapWindowPoints is failing. However, the issue is obviously isolated to Win32 API functions and their proper call order, with no involvement from cygwin1.dll.

This is the letter you have beeen hearing about on the news lately. Due to the populartity of this letter on the inernet , A national weekly news program recently devoted an entire show to the investigation of this program described below, to see if it really can make people money. The show also investigated wheather or not the program was legal. Their findings proved once and for all that there are absolutely NO LAWS prohibiting the participation in the program and if people can follow the simple instrucyions, they are bound to make some mega bucks with only $25 out of pocket cost". DUE TO THE RECENT INCREASE OF POPULARITY & RESPECT THIS PROGRAM HAS ATTANED, IT IS CURRENTLY WORKING BETTER THAN EVER.

I am so glad I finally joined to see what one could expect in return for the minimal effort and money required. To my astonishment, I recieved total $610,470.00 in 21 weeks, with money still comming in." Pam Hedland, Fort Lee New Jersey. ============================================ Here is another testimonial: "This program has been around for a long time but I never believed in it. But one day when I recieved this again in the mail I decided to gamble my $25 on it. I followed the simple instructions and walaa.....3 weeks later the money started to come in. First month I only made $240.00 but the next two months I made a total of $290,000.00. So far in the past 8 months by re-entering the program, I have made over $710,000.00 and I am playing it again.

INSTRUCTIONS =====Order all 5 reports shown on the list below===== For each report, send $5 CASH ,THE NAME & NUMBER OF THE REPORTYOU ARE ORDERINGand YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS to the person whose name appears ON THAT LIST next to the report. MAKE SURE YOUR RETURN ADDRESS IS ON THE ENVELOPE TOP LEFT CORNER in case of any mail problems. ===When you place your order, make sure you order each of the 5 reports. You will need all 5 reports so that you can save them on your computer and resell them. YOUR TOTAL COST $5 X 5=$25.00. Within a few days you will recieve, via e-mail, each of the five reports from these 5 different individuals. Save them on your computer so they will be accessible for you to send to the 1000's of people who will order them from you. Also make a floppy of these reports and keep it on your desk in case something happens to your computer. IMPORTANT-DO NOT alter the names of the peple who are listed next to each report, or their sequence on the list, in any way, other than what is instructed below in step "1 through 6" or you will lose out on the majority of your porfits, Once you understand the way this works you will also see how it does not work if you change it. Remember, this method has been tested, and if you alter it, it will NOT work!!! People have tried to put there friends/relatives names on all five thinking they could get all the money.

Because if you do it will not work for you. Remember, honesty reaps the reward!!!! 1....After you have ordered all 5 reports , take this advertisement and REMOVE the name & address of the person in REPORT # 5. This person has made it through the cycle and is no doubt counting there fortunes. 2.... Move the name & address in REPORT #4 down To REPORT #5. 3.... MOVE the name & address in REPORT #3 down To REPORT #4. 4.... MOVE the name & address in REPORT #2 down To REPORT #3. 5.... MOVE the name & address in REPORT #1 down To REPORT #2. 6.... Insert YOUR name & address in the REPORT #1 Position. PLEASE MAKE SURE you copy every name & address ACCURATELY! ============================================== **** Take this entire letter ,with the modified list of names, and save it on your computer. DO NOT MAKE ANY OTHER CHANGES. Save this on a disk as well just in case if you loose any data. To assist you with marketing your business on the internet, the 5 reports you purchase will provide you with invaluable marketing information which includes how to send bulk e-mails legally, where to find thousands of free classified ads and much more. . There are 2 Primary methods to get this venture going: METHOD # 1: BY SENDING BULK E-MAIL LEGALLY ================================================ Let's say that you decide to start small, just to see how it goes, and we will assume You and those involved send out only 5,000 e-mails each. Let's also assume that the mailing recieve only a 0.2% response (the response could be much better but lets just say it is only 0.2% also many people will send out hundreds of thousands of e-mails instead of only 5,000 each). Continuing with this example , you send out only 5,000 e-mails. With a 0.2% response, that is only 10 orders for report #1. Those 10 people responded by sending out 5,000 e-mails each for a total of 50,000. Out of those 50,000 e-mails only 0.2% responded with orders. That = 100 people responded and ordered Report #2. Those 100 people mail out 5,000 e-mails for a total of 500,000 e-mails. The 0.2% response to that is 1000 orders for Report #3. Those 1000 people send out 5,000 e-mails each for a total of 5 million e- mails sent out. The 0.2% response to that is 10,000 orders for Report #4. Those 10,000 people send out 5,000 e-mails each for a total of 50,000,000 (50 million) e-mails. The 0.2% response to that is 100,000 orders for Report #5 THAT'S 100,000 ORDERS TIMES $5 EACH=$555,000 ( half million). Your total income in this example is: 1.....$50 + 2.....$500 + 3.....$5,000 + 4.....$50.000 + 5.....$500,000.......Grand Total=$555,550.00 NUMBERS DONT LIE. GET A PENCIL & PAPER AND FIGURE IT OUT THE WORST POSSIBLE RESPONSES AND NO MATTER HOW YOU CALCULATE IT, YOU WILL STILL MAKE A LOT OF MONEY!! ================================================ REMEMBER FRIEND THIS IS ASSUMING ONLY 10 PEOPLE ORDER OUT OF 5,000 YOU MAILED TO. Dare to think for a monment what would happen if everyone or half or even one 4th of those people 100,000 e-mails each or more? There are over 150million people on the internet worldwide and counting. Believe me, many people will do just that, and more! METHOD #2 : BY PLACING FREE ADS ON THE INTERNET ================================================ ADVERTISING ON THE NET IS VERY VERY INEXPENSIVE and there are hundreds of FREE places to advertise. Placing a lot of free ads on the internet will easily get a larger response. We strongly suggest you start with Method# 1 and add Method #2 as you go along . For every $5 you recieve , all you have to do is e-mail them the Report they ordered. That's it. Always provide same day service on all orders. This will guarantee that the e-mail they send out, with your name and address on it, will be prompt because they can not advertise until they recieve the report. ===========AVAILABLE REPORTS======================== ORDER EACH REPORT BY ITS NUMBER & NAME ONLY. Notes: Always send $5 cash (U.S. CURRENCY) for each Report. Checks NOT accepted. Make sure the cash is concealed by rapping it in at least 2 sheets of paper. On one of those sheets of paper, Write the NUMBER & the NAME of the report you are ordering, YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS and your name and postal address. PLACE YOUR ORDER FOR THESE REPORTS NOW: ================================================ REPORT # 1:" the Insider's Guide to Advertising for Free on the Net" Order Report #1 from: U.

If you did not, continue advertising or sending e-mails untill you do. ===Once you received 100 or more orders for Report #2, YOU CAN RELAX, because the system is already working for you, and the cash will continue to roll in! THIS IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER: every time your name is moved down the list, you are placed in front of a different report. You can KEEP TRACK of your PROGRESS by watching which report people are ordering from you. IF YOU WANT TO GENERATE MORE INCOME SEND ANOTHER BATCH OF E-MAILS AND START THE WHOLE PROCESS AGAIN. There is NO LIMIT to the income you can generate from this business!!! ================================================ FOLLOWING IS A NOTE FROM THE ORIGINATOR OF THIS PROGRAM: You have just received information that can give you finiancial freedom for the rest of your life, with NO RISK and just A LITTLE BIT OF EFFORT.you can make more money in the next few weeks and months than you ever imagined. follow the program EXACTLY AS INSTRUCTED.

One of the peole you send this to may send out 100,000 or more e-mails and your name will be on every one of them. Remember though, the more you send out the more potiential customers you will reach. So my friend, I have given you the ideas, information, materials and opportunity to become financially independent ITS UP TO YOU NOW! ============MORE TESTIMONIALS======================= "My name is Mitchell, My wife Jody ad I live in Chicago. I am an accountant with a major U.S. Corparation and I make pretty good money. When I received this program I grumbled to Jody about receiving" junk mail". I made fun of the whole thing , spouting my knowledge of the population and percentages involved. I "knew" it wouldn't work. Jody totally ignored my supposed intelligence and a few days later she jumped in with both feet. I made merciless fun of her, and was ready to lay the ol "I told you so" on her when the thing didnt work. Well , the laugh was on me ,Within 3 weeks she had received 50 responses. Within the next 45 days she had received total $147,200.00.......all cash! I was shocked. I have joined Jody in her" hobby". Mitchell Wolf M.D., Chicago Illinois ================================================ "Not being the gambling type , it took me several weeks to make up my mind to participate in this plan. But conservative that i am, I decided that the initial investment was so little that there was just no way that I wouldn't get enough orders to at least get my money back". "I was surprised when I found my medium size post office box crammed with orders. I made $319,210.00 in the first 12 weeks. The nice thing about this deal is that it does not matter where people live. There simply isn't a better investment with a faster return and so big" Dan Sondstrom, Alberta Canada ================================================ "I had received this program before. I deleted it, but later I wondered if I should have given it a try. Of course, I had no idea who to contact to get another copy, so I had to wait until I was e-mailed again by someone else......11 months passed then it luckily came again.....I did not delete this one! I made more than $490,000 on my first try and all the the money came within 22 weeks." Susan De Suza, New York, N.Y. ================================================ "It really is a great opportunity to make relatively easy money with little cost to you. I followed the simple instructions carefully and within 10 days the money started to come in. My first month I made $20,560.00 and by the end of the third month my total cash count was $362,840.00.

I run a 2 head Win2k machine, and would like to be able to run full screen on one monitor, while staying in windows on the other. The following are the problems: - With engine 1, clicking on a window on the 2nd monitor hides the XFree display on the 1st monitor. - With engine 2 and 4, one cannot move the mouse over onto the other screen. - There is no option to specify which monitor to start on. I DO realize these are really minor issues, and do not expect a fix unless they are really easy fixes. Just wanted to report my findings. Also in windowed mode, XFree works surprizingly well on a two head system. It has no problems whatever stretching between the two.

Just wanted to report my findings. Hmm... yeah, I wouldn't be able to address those issues, as I don't have room for a two-monitor setup (small dorm room). So, I guess that the two monitor issues are your itch to scratch. The Cygwin/XFree86 Contributor's Guide ( http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/cg/ ) should help get you started if you feel like trying to take a stab at addressing those issues. > Also in windowed mode, XFree works surprizingly well on a two head system. > It has no problems whatever stretching between the two. That is nice to know.

After a successful install, and then running startxwin.bat, I get a momentary Xwin, and an error message to say the the file mxterm can't be found. Before installing X, I did a full install of the Cygwin system and tools. Below is the error message appearing in the final window after an attempted start.

The ${DISPLAY:0.0} works only for bash I used it to build a clean setup. If you put the xmodmap call to startxwin.bat then it`s clear that it needs the modmap for the windows host, so there is no need to check for a host specific modmap > > start /B xmodmap /etc/X11/Xmodmap.${DISPLAY%:*} > > Does not work because '${DISPLAY%:*}' is avaiable in a /bin/*sh only which > is not running at that time.

Unfortunately, in this case, the user's problem is not covered in any FAQ material, as the problem in question was just discovered and fixed four days ago.

That's expected, but you could probably add the necessary functions to Cygwin, or figure out why they aren't working correctly if they are already present. > Fatal server error: > negative sized edge? That is a problem with the X font libraries that showed up either before or after XFree86 4.1.0. I haven't seen the problem reported for other problems, but there have been several occurences of the error on Cygwin/XFree86. Search the mailing list archives for "negative sized edge" and you will get the history of the error message as well as some pointer I gave on looking into it. Of course, no one followed up on those helpful pointers... > I noticed that all the sample startx scripts have an explicit 'screen' > parameter for XWin. Is it really needed?

Even so, it wouldn't much matter if the parameter was there or not after the new server executable makes it into the default distribution. > (This is not related: I have tried using an explicit -screen parameter in > .xserverrc , and still I get the same crashes) Correct, it shouldn't have any effect. > Any ideas?

Thus, I think the only thing I can tell you to do is to start working with the icewm folks to verify that all icewm features work correctly on Cygwin/XFree86. Yup, that could takes weeks or months.

Their makefile uses 'pushd' and 'popd' for pieces of scripts in the makefile that are to be run by /bin/sh . /bin/sh should not be assumed to include popd and pushd, IIRC.

Thank. I generally intended for the above two points to be oly provide information that may help whoever else will want to build icewm on cygwin.

I'm not sure I agree here. The most recent thread about it has only a hint about fonts and does not end with a resolution of the problem: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2001-q3/msg00147.html A thread before that one has something about a java app that uses the whole display (is it the same issue? does the java program happen to use the problematic fonts? Maybe something else?) http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2001-q2/msg02500.html A thread before it seems to be about X authority. It starts at: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2001-q2/msg02482.html but the error message is only mentioned in later messages of the thread. (I must point out that I have a bit obscure config with relation to Xauthority. I currently run 'xauth generate $DISPLAY; xhost -' in my .xinitrc . There probably should be a better way to use xauthority, but I couldn't figure it from any documentation) Only going back to http://xfree86.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2001-q2/msg01456.html (about 2 monthes old) to find some useful diagnostics. So it seems that the problem is with displaying Type1 fonts. Indeed I was able to crash XFree by simply running 'xfd -fn "-xfree86-*" . I disabled the xfree-cursor and all the lucidux fonts (by remming-out their lines in fonts.dir and updating the lines count in the first line of fonts.dir). That seemed to have helped a little. But I ended up remming-out all the others as well. Where exactly is the font path set? there is no /etc/X11/XF86Config . I saw /etc/X11/fs/config , but there seems to be no xfs running. -- Tzafrir Cohen mailto:tzafrir@technion.ac.il http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir From ssiddiqi@inspirepharm.com Fri Jul 20 18:03:00 2001 From: ssiddiqi@inspirepharm.com (Suhaib Siddiqi) Date: Fri, 20 Jul 2001 18:03:00 -0000 Subject: X server crash from icewm Message-ID: <7F2B9185F0196F44B59990759B91B1C2505F22@ins-exch.inspirepharm.com> How about instead of editing font.dir manually, deleting fonts *.gz files you do not need then run mkfontdir?

My problem was twofold: 1) startxwin.bat wasn't working because the 'start xterm' and 'start twm' commands are executed before the 'Xwin' process has had a chance to fully start the server. The startxwin.bat should, in theory, wait until the X server is running before proceeding to start any clients, but of course there's no way to do this effectively with cmd.exe. This is precisely what xinit is supposed to do. 2) xinit wasn't starting the server correctly on my system due to the error I posted. So I posted a workaround just in case anyone else was having that problem. Maybe if you'd read my post instead of just biting my head off, you might have the answer to your question above. Ouch.

I > saw /etc/X11/fs/config , but there seems to be no xfs running. The used fontpath is compiled into xfree. You can set the fontpath with the program xset. "xset fp+ path" appends the path to the fontpath "xset fp- path" removes it. You can also specify the fontpath on startup. Either for using a fontserver "Xwin -fp tcp/font.server.com:7100" or by specifying the path directly "Xwin -fp /usr/X11R6/lib/fonts/misc". I prefer the fontserver since you can configure the fontpath for xfs similar to the fontpath configuration in /etc/X11/XF86Config on linux. Xfs is started manually. If you have a linux box with a working X installation, you can even use the fonts on the linux machine for Xwin too. This helps saving a lot of diskspace. bye ago -- Alexander.Gottwald@s1999.tu-chemnitz.de http://www.gotti.org phone: +49 3725 3498080 mobile: +49 172 7854017 From ssiddiqi@inspirepharm.com Sat Jul 21 09:43:00 2001 From: ssiddiqi@inspirepharm.com (Suhaib Siddiqi) Date: Sat, 21 Jul 2001 09:43:00 -0000 Subject: xinit working (no more startxwin.bat) Message-ID: <7F2B9185F0196F44B59990759B91B1C2505F26@ins-exch.inspirepharm.com> > -----Original Message----- > From: Piers Haken [ mailto:piersh@friskit.com ] > Sent: Saturday, July 21, 2001 11:42 AM > To: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com > Subject: RE: xinit working (no more startxwin.bat) > > > > > huh?

This is > precisely what xinit is supposed to do. Startxwin.bat is a sample file. If you are on a Win9x/ME it can happen that batch files will execute xterm and other xclients before server is fully up and running.... that is because Win 9x/ME DOS shell is too slow to be useful for something good.

Right. Although, rerunning setup.exe doesn't install anything if your installation is already up to date. I suggest setup.exe because it is so simple. On the other hand, I can't come up with an exact comand line sequence that could be used to change the mounts from textmode to binmode on every computer. Don't you have to 'umount' each textmode mount then 'mount' them again using binmode?

This batch file seems to work for people (my personal observasion: WorksForMe) But If there's no way to do it with cmd.exe which is probably a slightly better shell than lsh, but not more than that) then do it with bash. Since I know linux better, I modified that batch file to set some envionment vars and run 'startx'. And then I put all the clients I want in ~/.xinitrc and if I want to modify the server arguments I use ~/.xserverrc .

Telling a user to use 'umount' is rather difficult, as you have to tell them first to run 'mount' and write down the paths of all of the mounts that don't have the noumount or binmode flags, then 'umount' each of them, then run 'mount -s -b ...' for each of the mounts that was unmounted. That leaves a lot of room for error compared to just telling them to use setup.exe to change the mount modes.

The primary problem with that method is that it requires the documenter to describe a method of listing the current mount point paths (might be z:\foo\bar\baz\shazz\cyg\cygwin instead of c:\cygwin) and how to remount them. That takes quite a bit more documentation and produces many more caveats than simply telling the user to run setup.exe. Perhaps a simple utility for changing the mount mode of all Cygwin mounts would be in order, or perhaps the functionality could be added to 'mount'. Just a thought... I know I haven't got time to do it. Would anyone like to volunteer?

Iterate over the mount options and change any text mounts to binary. I understand what you are saying about the simplicity of telling people to use setup but setup is not a panacea. If you tell people how to run mount, you've taught them something valuable. It's not just a black box setup.exe option. I really really detest the "I was having problems so I just wiped out everything and reinstalled" Windows mentality. I know that you are not telling people to do that but I think it could easily be misinterpreted that way. Also, running setup.exe does not necessarily change every applicable mount. If they have /usr/X11R6 (or whatever) mounted somehow then setup.exe will not touch it. cgf From huntharo@msu.edu Sat Jul 21 17:01:00 2001 From: huntharo@msu.edu (Harold Hunt) Date: Sat, 21 Jul 2001 17:01:00 -0000 Subject: Cygwin-Xfree-Opendx Question References: <20010721195543.A1880@redhat.com> Message-ID: Chris, > How about thinking about this from the UNIX point of view?

I'm a horribly lacking in scripting knowledge so I guess I can use this experience to learn a little. It'll probably be awhile before I can update the docs though...

Allow me to rephrase this: I have installed kde-1.1.2 beta 1 with a setup.ini for easy install (The upgrade of the cygwin dll went well. This is not trivial!). Currently it seems to me that the best would be for every project to add their own cygwin packages, and hopefully those packages will make it into the contrib (and later: into stable) as fast as possible. Thus the project will not have to worry about setup.exe , and will not have to worry about packages. The "SETUP.EXE" concept is nice, but cygwin is too complex for a simple installer that is not aware of the current system and the components that are already installed on it. How will your setup.exe handle upgrading? (e.g.: are there certain config files that need to be saved?) removal? (I don't want the cyrillic fonts and the japanese documentation anymore. How do I remove them?) So, you see, there is no point in replicating the exiting package instllation tool (although it can probably be improved). All you need is to seperate the files that are installed by the XFree installer into seperate "packages", each in its own tree, pack them as cygwin packages (simply tar balls of a partials trees) and create an appropriate setup.ini. -- Tzafrir Cohen mailto:tzafrir@technion.ac.il http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir From ssiddiqi@inspirepharm.com Mon Jul 23 17:05:00 2001 From: ssiddiqi@inspirepharm.com (Suhaib Siddiqi) Date: Mon, 23 Jul 2001 17:05:00 -0000 Subject: Can't start XWin Message-ID: <7F2B9185F0196F44B59990759B91B1C2505F3B@ins-exch.inspirepharm.com> Care to do a search on mail archives... developers now do not want to answer same questions over and over again every day.

The cygwin library instead is contained only because of the next release isn't ready yet and the current cygwin release would cause much support requests. I don't like to support the cygwin dll as whole. > and hopefully those packages will make it into > the contrib (and later: into stable) as fast as possible. Note that kde contains of about 10 tar balls and xfree as I remember more than 30. Add the estemmed 60 tar balls of the contrib and latest dir and place in on simple list, it's a nightmare to handle installation with the current installer. Additional this concept I think will be changed, because the cygwin installer is going to get categories and dependencies. Look at the cygwin and cygwin-patches mailinglist for details. So if this effort is ready I think the several projects can come together. > Thus the project will not have to worry about setup.exe , and will not have to worry about > packages. I think setup.exe is the smallest problem. Currently it is quite easy to install at first basic cygwin with all package you need, next xfree and than any x-Apps. In the last for example kde you can choose independed from the basic installation, if cygwin reinstalling is needed or not. Additional making a distribution like ke-cygwin isn't easy. There are many dependencies and handling with own setup makes it simplier to create. Assume that the kde installer is an additional window of the main installer. Third my proposal relating the setup.exe is temporally because [3] kde isn't integrated in the main cygwin distribution channels. > > The "SETUP.EXE" concept is nice, but cygwin is too complex for a simple > installer that is not aware of the current system and the components that > are already installed on it. I suppose you mean with setup.exe a normal windows setup.exe like install shield or so ? Because the cygwin installer is able to recognize the installation state of the current system and components. How will your setup.exe handle upgrading? Now I'm sure, you have misunderstood me, with setup I mean the normal cygwin installer. > (e.g.: are there certain config files that need to be saved?) removal? (I > don't want the cyrillic fonts and the japanese documentation anymore. How > do I remove them?) A few weeks ago I have asked about a generic pre/postinstall/removal in the cygwin installer. This would handle this. > > So, you see, there is no point in replicating the exiting package > instllation tool (although it can probably be improved). This need that [3] is done, so as long as kde is distributed for his own, this isn't right. And second in the meantime, assume that the kde installer is an additional window of the main installer. Where is the problem ? > All you need is to seperate the files that are installed by the XFree installer into > seperate "packages", each in its own tree, pack them as cygwin packages > (simply tar balls of a partials trees) and create an appropriate > setup.ini. Think about that I have ported qt and kde-1.1.2 alone and made an distribution and patched ld and libtool and .... in two month, which was a heavy job, so if you get profit from using kde, spend some time to catch this aim.

Ralf, why did you do this? We've already gone over this -- and, given the deference I have given the xfree team w.r.t. defending Suhaib's position on libfreetype, changing my xpm package which predated the xfree version, etc, I expect reciprocal respect from you guys. Why are you forking my cygwin packages? If you are worried about version conflicts, there is no need. Now that the early growing pains with dlls (the infamous dll-naming thread on cygwin-apps, the libfoo.dll to cygfoo.dll transition, the .dll.a convention) are behind us, the only time dll names in the main distribution will change is when the ABI/API changes -- which would require relink/recompile anyway. AND in those cases, the old DLLs will continue to be supplied -- take a look inside the current readline-4.2 binary tarball. You'll see /usr/bin/cygreadline4.dll (from the 4.1 dist) AND /usr/bin/cygreadline5.dll (from the 4.2 dist). You'll see /usr/lib/libreadline.dll.a which is the import lib for cygreadline5, so that all new progs will use the new dll. BUT, older progs will continue to work because the old dll is THERE. There is no need to distribute copies yourself -- and in fact, that is harmful. Please don't do it. Did you even read this message? ---------------------- Re: AW: ask for delivering cygwin 1.1.8 with kde 1.1.2 http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2001-06/msg00057.html I think we're slowly converging on a system in which: when a library is updated so that the new dll is not backwards compatible (that is, the DLL name changes to represent an ABI/API incompatibility), then we try to insure continued operation for a reasonable time. "reasonable" is open to interpretation. There are two ways to do this: 1) the new package contains the headers, import libs, DLL's and static libs for the NEW library, AND contains the old DLL's. This is what we chose to do with readline. 2) or the incompatible library is released with a different package name. However, since in all likelihood, the new package will contain files that conflict with the old package, the old package should be simultaneously updated to a new *version*, that contains only the DLL's -- since the names are different, those won't conflict with the DLL's in the new package. In effect, both options are the same. 1) is simpler, and easier for us volunteer maintainers. 2) makes it optional whether the use wants to download a bunch of (useless?) old dll's, and is more in line with the way most linux distributions handle it. ---------------------- Now, I realize there are reasons for the cygwin1.dll-1.1.8 thing and the cygwin1.dll-post-1.3.2-snapshot thing. That's different. I'm complaining about the duplicate distribution of stable dll's. Just as Suhaib was justified in complaining about Xpm.dll, I feel justified in this. Of course, it's all GPL -- I can't stop you. But I really believe that duplicate distribution will only cause trouble down the road. Unless, of course, you want to volunteer to take over maintainership of those packages (zlib, libpng, libtiff, libjpeg, libjbig). That too is a possibility -- I am looking for somebody to take over... --Chuck From Richard.Grenon@onera.fr Tue Jul 24 02:31:00 2001 From: Richard.Grenon@onera.fr (GRENON Richard) Date: Tue, 24 Jul 2001 02:31:00 -0000 Subject: XFree410 and OpenDX413 problems Message-ID: <3B5D3FFE.FB27B21A@onera.fr> Hello, I have a new Cygwin installation on Win98 with some problems : * Cygwin.1.3.2 binaries installed with with setup.exe * XFree.4.1.0 full binaries installed with Xinstall.sh * Opendx.4.1.3 Cygwin binaries 1. XFree problems : "xterm" works well but it does not recognize the "CTRL D" sequence and I have to use "xkill" to close the window.

What could I have missed when downloading the binaries ? Same "CTRL D" problem with a commercial X server (WinaXe) and typing "xterm" in the main bash window. 2.

Ok now Ralf, You are going to cause a lot of confusions with providing different versions of XPM, libtif, libpng and libjpeg etc. I am 100% sure you can use the libraries from current distributions from Cygwin and Xfree86. It will create a big mess down the road, and I am pretty sure maintainers of Cygwin and Xfree86 will not like it. The best way of developing and supporting a package is to port your code to use the libraries from these packages (Cygwin and XFree86).

If you say that, I will try it, although I have had much trouble with the cygwin dll (socket problems) and my confidence is a little corrupted because of initial ignoring my cygwin bug report. Additional I have had trouble with ncurses lib which was linked with cygwin 1.3.1 and don't work with cygwin 1.1.8 because of using the check_for_executable() function. This seem to me, that sometime patches are made and released which have some unknown side affects. Don*t misunderstand me, I like cygwin very much, but whis that I see me running in great troubles. At next the original kde package contains a gif6a lib which collidates with the gif 6b package of cygwin, so I decided to take the cygwin jpeg lib. xfree for example depends only on cygwin, but kde (kfm.exe) depends from about 18 dll's. The full dependency list (a part from cygcheck -v) contains 1481 lines. .\kfm.exe C:\programme\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\libX11.dll C:\programme\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll C:\WINNT\System32\KERNEL32.dll C:\WINNT\System32\NTDLL.DLL C:\programme\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\libXext.dll .\cygkdecore-2.dll C:\programme\cygwin\usr\src\redhat\SOURCES\kde\qt-1.45\bin\qt-1-44.dll C:\programme\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\libX11.dll C:\programme\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll C:\WINNT\System32\KERNEL32.dll C:\WINNT\System32\NTDLL.DLL C:\programme\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\libXext.dll .\cygkdeui-2.dll .\cygkfile-2.dll .\cygkfm-2.dll .\cygkhtmlw-2.dll .\cygjscript-2.dll .\cygkimgio-2.dll .\cygjpeg6b.dll .\cygpng2.dll .\cygz.dll .\cygtiff3.dll Can you image the problems, if only one external lib will not work correctly. I remember the cygwin socket bug. I have spend one whole week with 5 hours a day to identifiy that cygwin must be problem, to hear that usually the client code has the problem. So if I imaging, how much combination of problems could be, I see me supported kde 1.1.2 the whole day for the rest of my life. For that, I thing it is a lesser problem to provide a beta release with some minor dlls which could be removed in every next beta release. 2) I have seen, that the xfree distribution contains a libz.dll too. Why don't use the cygwin dll "cygz.dll". Which zlib I should use, from the cygwin or from the x11 release ?? Again, don*t misunderstand me not, I like cygwin and the xfree server > create a big mess down the road, and I am pretty sure maintainers of Cygwin > and Xfree86 will not like it. The best way of developing and supporting a > package is to port your code to use the libraries from these packages > (Cygwin and XFree86). > Nothing else I have done. I have installed cygwin and xfree and compiled kde. The only thing I have done is to put current cygz.dll, cygjpeg6b.dll, cygpng2.dll, cygtiff3.dll and a cygncurses5.dll linked with cygwin 1.1.8 to allow users using cygwin 1.1.8 into the kdesupprt package. As /usr/local/kde1/bin is by default only added to PATH inside kde, this seems to be currently no problem. Additional I have read about a "non-new-package" of cygwin, so distributing kde directly with cygwin isn*t possible at now. As I have to work on other projects in the next time too, so I have to release this beta now. I hope you understand a little bit more of my prudence. I like to say, I have no problem to work together with the cygin and cygwin-xfree guys, so i think we find a good way to deal with that all.

KDE on Cygwin is not a stable port yet, it is a work in progress, and you are following the mantra of 'release early, release often'. In addition, you are being smart by including additional DLL versions that you know to work with KDE. I wouldn't worry about 'support problems' when releasing beta packages of a free software project; it should be quite clear that the user is on his/her own regarding support.

I do not understand how to "pass a proper screen configuration for screen number 0 to XWin.exe". Where do you enter the "XWin.exe -screen 0 800x600x16" - on the cygwin bash shell? 2. I have updated cygwin with the latest release and I have downloaded the latest opendx for cygwin and installed it. I can now open dx (the dxscreen is larger than the Xfree86 screen) but it will not open a sample file. The visual program editor comes up but not the file. There are a number of messages. The first thing I will mention is that in running Xfree86 the "cygwin/tmp/.X11-unix" folder seems to keep getting lost. Most of the time it shows up on the cmd.exe as not being found. In dx the first file it couldn't find was LIBR_HDF.dll. I searched and found where it was and included it in the path. It now is looking for libpng.dll. There is a libpng.dll.a in C:/cygwin/lib but there was not a libpng.dll on the C drive. I've included the way to libpng.dll.a in the path and it does no good. I re-installed Xfree86 to see if it would help and I have pasted some of the shell writings below so that you might see if any of this has a bearing on what is happening.

I ran into this problem using a virtual desktop utility on a single monitor, in case you'd like to try duplicating it in your dorm room :) The one I'm using is here: < http://www.enablesoftware.com/evd.htm >. I'm using it the same way Chris is--I want a full-screen X window on one virtual desktop, with other Windows apps on the rest. Using a window instead isn't a big annoyance--it just doesn't look as cool. I would imagine this behaviour is intentional--when in fullscreen mode, you'd normally want to minimize your window when you lose the focus, so that you don't obscure other windows. I ran into a similar problem making a remote control app work with multiple monitors a few years ago. The solution, IIRC, was to check to see whether the window gaining the focus overlapped with yours--if it didn't, you didn't have to minimize. Give me a few minutes to go check out the Cygwin/XFree86 source... Well, looks like I was right about the code intentionally minimizing when losing focus in fullscreen mode, at least in some places. winActivateAppShadowGDI() does just that on a WM_ACTIVATEAPP message: /* From $XFree86: xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xwin/winshadgdi.c,v 1.13: */ else if (!pScreenPriv->fActive && pScreenInfo->fFullScreen) { /* * Deactivating, stuff our window onto the * task bar. */ ShowWindow (pScreenPriv->hwndScreen, SW_MINIMIZE); } That would account for the problem Chris describes--the ShadowGDI engine is engine 1. The problem is, I'm running the ShadowDDNL engine (engine 4), which doesn't appear to go through that code path--it should be using winActivateAppShadowDDNL(), which doesn't explicitly minimize the window. Can anyone more familiar with the code enlighten me? If anyone's interested in fixing it soon, let me know and I'll see if I can help--please cc me if you post back to the list. Otherwise, I'll take a look at posting a patch if/when I have enough time to checkout the source, build it, and run it through a debugger. - Bradey From fstone@majik-net.com Tue Jul 24 17:18:00 2001 From: fstone@majik-net.com (Annette and Frankie Stone) Date: Tue, 24 Jul 2001 17:18:00 -0000 Subject: Cygwin-Xfree-Opendx Question Message-ID: <002201c1149f$d8cca390$3fadda40@frankie> I have done as you said and cd /usr/bin ln -s cygpng2.dll libpng.dll This put a shortcut in /usr/bin.

Support may never be added for using PseudoColor visuals with DirectDraw engines in windowed mode, as the DirectDrawPalette object has the first ten and the last ten colors reserved in windowed mode. Thus, adding PseudoColor support for windowed DirectDraw modes would be rather difficult. 3) Fall back on StaticColor if running a DirectDraw engine in windowed mode. 4) Turn off WIN_LAYER_SUPPORT for now, as it was causing the server to crash on exit when running in 8 bit color modes. 5) Remove the WIN_PSEUDO_SUPPORT build flag; it is no longer used because the PseudoColor support is stable.

I know to most "normal" people this should seem obvious but when your in foreign territory the smallest question can loom large. Anyway - here it is: This is on line 293 when I open the instructions in my editor. I would have you change the last "n" to a "y". I know that in step 5 just above you say to follow the step by step instructions of the install file but ......

I also don't have any problem with him providing known stable versions of the "my" dll's in a beta dist of his KDE stuff. My problem is that this thread started with a discussion of an *installer* for the cygwin/xfree/kde. My natural assumption was that Ralf was moving towards "official" -- that is, non-beta -- dists of kde(1? 2?). THAT's what got my dander up.

I understand. There are very few true cygwin-kernel hackers (e.g. I'm not one...not really). They are currently overwhelmed, and stuff falls thru the cracks (the same thing is true on any large project -- I've had patches to binutils@ fall off the radar. Even DJ Delorie !! has had stuff "ignored" on THAT list). However, libpng != cygwin. "My" dll's are mere ports of stuff that typically have large groups of bug-fixing hackers. When new releases of "my" packages are available from the originating groups, I usually update quickly -- and almost always with an extended "[avail for test] ....." period before making them "official". However, I only send the [avail for test] messages to the main cygwin list; perhaps I should also copy the cygwin-xfree list so you guys don't miss the chance to report regressions before it's "too late"? > Additional I have had trouble with ncurses lib which was > linked with > cygwin 1.3.1 and don't work with cygwin 1.1.8 because of using the > check_for_executable() > function. Well, that was an ugly situation all around. However, it's part of the price we pay. backwards compatibility of cygwin1.dll is guaranteed (until cygwin2.dll if ever) but *forward* compatibility is not. That is, you should be able to replace cygwin1.dll-1.1.8 with cygwin1.dll-(x >= 1).(y >= 1).(z >= 8) -- but not necessarily vice versa. (And with multiple dependencies comes versioning problems. Ever try to rpm -Uvh evolution-X-X.rpm on linux? NIGHTMARE. There was even a story about the problem with GNUcash on Slashdot and LWN: http://slashdot.org/articles/01/06/15/0128247.shtml http://lwn.net/2001/0614/ ) The cygwin developers TRY to maintain forward compatibility when possible -- and in fact, the 1.3.1 problem you mention was a mistake. The check_for_executable should have been encapsulated inside an opaque structure like __impure_ptr, but it was overlooked. Anyway, I don't fully understand, but I believe that if I recompiled ncurses NOW under 1.3.2, that check_for_executable() wouldn't show up as a linked (required) symbol. However, ALL future cygwin1.dll will still *export* the symbol, so that apps unlucky enough to have been compiled under 1.3.1 will still work with future kernels. (Those unlucky apps *won't* work with earlier kernels, because the earlier kernels don't have the symbol -- as you discovered). OTOH, 1.3.1 WAS released over three months ago. cygwin-xfree ALWAYS requires the most recent cygwin1.dll. Why is it so terrible to also require >=1.3.1 for ncurses? As far as "ignoring" your initial bug report, that's a little harsh (and inaccurate) IMO. The cygwin list at least 50 messages a day, sometimes more than 100. sometimes things fall thru the cracks -- be persistent. You were -- and your problems were (eventually) addressed. as cgf said: > If something is broken in 1.3.2, we will try to fix it. [side note: There have been a number of important fixes post 1.3.2, but right now the CVS version is...err, flaky. Perhaps "the cygwin folks" ought to go back to a known good date, and release something and call THAT "1.3.3" -- but that would probably distract the developers from fixing the current problems and releasing what we're currently referring to as "1.3.3" sooner) ] > This seem to me, that sometime patches are made and released which have some > unknown side affects.

I understand and appreciate the incredible amount of work you've put into your port. Also the frustration when you identify a problem but folks assume you couldn't possibly know what you're talking about, so you have to PROVE that there REALLY was a bug.

"No problem" because those particular dll's do not use shared memory regions or other clashable windows-isms. That is not always true ("never have more than 1 cygwin1.dll"). > Additional I have read about a "non-new-package" of cygwin, so distributing kde > directly > with cygwin isn*t possible at now.

I never saw the "beta" thing. Now, on to a different related subject: > > Dependency problems > > Some libs like jpeglib are named with the major revision number, > > but without the minor /release or buildnumber for examples > > cygjpeg6b.dll or ncurses5.dll. This is GOOD. We can't really do the whole .so-naming scheme, since (a) every app embeds the filename of its desired DLLs, (b) the windows runtime loader can't follow symlinks, so you'd need ACTUAL copies of: mydll-x-y-z.dll mydll-a-b-c.dll mydll-i-j-k.dll even in the case where mydll-a-b-c could replace mydll-x-y-z (but not vice versa). Basically, the windows runtime loader sucks. However, libtool helps *that* problem somewhate: in Robert Collin's current hacked up version of libtool, it sets the dllname of --version-info c:r:a to cygfoo-(c minus a).dll Basically, foo.dll can replace bar.dll if foo supports all of the interfaces of bar, but foo has additional interfaces that bar doesn't have.

Anyway, for "my" dll's -- which were dll-ized before libtool even *thought* about working with cygwin -- I just maintain the dllname by hand. (Of course, back when I was young and stupid, I tried to use the package release number for that. Libtool sez "Never try to set library version numbers so that they correspond to the release number of your package. This is an abuse that only fosters misunderstanding of the purpose of library versions" Oops. So, libjpeg's dll name will remain "cygjpeg6b.dll" until the actual API changes (if ever). libreadline's name WAS "cygreadline4.dll" up thru package version 4.1, but in the 4.2 package the ABI changed. SO, the new libreadline dllname is "cygreadline5.dll" -- but BOTH dll's will be distributed for a long time to allow executables linked against cygreadline4 to continue to work. And libreadline's dllname won't change again -- until the API does. As I stated earlier, I haven't quite figured out how to handle this with newer, libtoolized dll's, unless the (c - a) thing works correctly. But, since the official binutils doesn't have the appropriate support, nor the official automake, and Robert's libtool patches haven't even made it into *libtool's* CVS -- much less into an official cygwin package -- we probably don't need to worry about it just yet. > > Especially for the jepglib there is an additional runtime > > checking if the caller has compiled in the same version lib (with > > build-number). Yes, that's true. However, I don't update the build number, unless the API changes. So this is a non-issue. If it has the same name, it'll be backwards compatible (but possibly not forward compatible; that is, cygjpeg6b.dll(Jan-01-2001) can replace cygjpeg6b.dll(Dec-31-2000), but (perhaps) not vice versa. > > So when I compile kde with cygjpeg6b-2 and some time later > > someone updates his jpeglib to Release 6b-4, kde will not be able > > to run because of this runtime checking. As I described, this is not going to happen.

This is bad, since suppose I compile cervisia against kde-2-0-0. Then, I update kde to 2-0-1. cervisia breaks because it can't find kde-2-0-0, even though 2-0-1 is perfectly compatible. I must recompile ALL of my apps. Under "real" unix, shared-library versions should be changed often, to convey the maximum information to the runtime loader. Space is not an issue because ldconfig will fix up a bunch of symlinks. (Plus, as much as we scoff at the import lib/dll dualism of windows, ldconfig does the same thing: see http://lists.debian.org/lsb-spec-9905/msg00011.html , esp. development time symlinks: libgmp1.so libgmp2.so & libgmp.so runtime symlinks libgmp.so.1 libgmp.so.2 actual libs libgmp.so.1.3.2 libgmp.so.2.0.2 ) On windows, you can't do this. First, symlinks don't work. So, suppose we write a "winldconfig" program that analyzes all these version numbers, and creates 82 actual COPIES of the dll's: mydll-3-2-0.dll == mydll-3-2-1.dll etc. Fine -- but each dll embeds its own compiled NAME. so, mydll-3-2-1.dll is happy, because it really is version "3-2-1" and knows that its name is "mydll-3-2-1.dll". But "mydll-3-2-0.dll" is broken: the runtime loader tries to load it because "myprogram.exe" needs "mydll-3-2-0.dll" -- but the load fails because that dll is not REALLY mydll-3-2-0.dll" even though its FILENAME is. In this experiment, we've (a) written a new program (b) used up a lot of disk space, and (c) added an install-time configuration requirement ("remember to run winldconfig") -- but we *STILL* haven't actually solved the problem. So, using the full libtool naming scheme is unworkable in the long run, IMO. But Robert's current "c - a" thing looks like a good bet. --Chuck From cwilson@ece.gatech.edu Thu Jul 26 23:26:00 2001 From: cwilson@ece.gatech.edu (Charles Wilson) Date: Thu, 26 Jul 2001 23:26:00 -0000 Subject: /usr/X11R6/bin/libz.dll vs. /usr/bin/cygz.dll Message-ID: <3B6109AF.E2C51C76@ece.gatech.edu> Ermmmm....it looks like libz.dll has crept back into the cygwin-xfree builds.

I have posted new versions of the User's Guide with the correction. Thank you for pointing it out. The script defaults to 'n' when you run it, and I had originally thought that I should leave it as 'n', as some people may become confused when they see that the script output in the manual differs from what they see on the screen. However, it seems that more people are getting confused and entering 'n' as their choice, thus aborting the whole process.

I have a recent Cygwin (1.3.2) with GCC 2.95.3-5, and the Xfree is working fine. I succeed in building and testing LessTif 0.92.95. I also build Xmt (2.1.2 and 3.1.0) without problems. But when I try to port a simple XmtLayout application on cygwin, it crashes at : Xmt/Layout.c : return XtCreateWidget(name, xmtLayoutWidgetClass, parent, args, n); The more frustating is that some month ago it was working with an older version of Xfree86.

Actually, it was not a mistake. I knew that I was breaking backwards compatibility. Putting this inside impure_ptr would have been very difficult. I thought I had a magical way of speeding up cygwin's stat function but it turned out to be flawed. We break compatibility with older DLLs all of the time. For instance, "I've" just added the signgam export and I'm in the process of exporting sys_nerr and sys_errlist. As soon as something is compiled which uses one of those variables/functions, it will be unusable with older dlls. >OTOH, 1.3.1 WAS released over three months ago. cygwin-xfree ALWAYS >requires the most recent cygwin1.dll.

The usual counter to that is "You should do better testing" and I would love to have a fully fleshed out test suite and someone to run the tests. I don't have any of that. What I have is people who try out cygwin snapshots. If they report bugs in the snapshots, I try to fix them.

Consider it a rite of passage. When Chuck reports a bug, I think "Hmm. There must be a bug" and I investigate it. Guess why that is?

Right, but I think the problem w.r.t. check_for_executable was not that the ncurses source code explicitly called it (at least, not on purpose), but that ncurses called a cygwin function that called check_for_executable, or the 1.3.1 .h files #defined or __inline__'d something...but I don't remember all the details., and I could just be talking bull patties. However, your point about signgam is well taken. > The reason that Cygwin is "flaky" is that I'm trying to fix a pretty > serious problem in 1.3.2.

Hmmm...that's a good point. I think we're running into a version skew problem of our own: at first, kde1 only worked with 1.1.8 because of the cygwin bug Ralk discovered. So, he wanted to distribute kde1 with 1.1.8, BUT because of the check_for_executable thing, he needed to distribute an old ncurses dll too (and got carried away with jpeg, tiff...). But then a fix was found for the cygwin bug, Ralf rolled his own cygwin1.dll-1.3.2+ and is distributing THAT now with kde1. But...he neglected to remove ncurses (and ....) >>>Additional I have read about a "non-new-package" of cygwin, so >>>distributing kde directly with cygwin isn*t possible at now.

My tarball seems to be circa 4.0.3. The 4.1.0 tarball does not contain libz.dll Sorry -- when Ralf said this: > 2) I have seen, that the xfree distribution contains a libz.dll too. Why don't > use > the cygwin dll "cygz.dll". > Which zlib I should use, from the cygwin or from the x11 release ?? I assumed that there had been a reversion. (I did check my tarball, which I *thought* I had recently updated. It does contain libz.dll -- but it was NOT recent.) In the 4.1.0 binary tarball, there is no libz.dll, AND the programs which depend on zlib are indeed linked to cygz.dll. These are: bdftopcf lbxproxy mkfontdir According to objdump, none of the dlls in the Xbin.tgz from 4.1.0 depend on any zlib library. So we're "safe" there. Sorry for the confusion.

We have to change the startup scripts so that they don't require modification. It is silly that the default startup script tries to start mxterm and vtwm, which are optional and rarely installed components. Perhaps I'll through together a cleaned up startup script.

A debug session showed, that PScreen->CloseScreen is called for all initialized components. The crash ocurs in layerinit.c in layerCloseScreen:350 "xfree(shadowGetScrPriv(pScreen))" since the data was already freed in shadowCloseScreen. It seem's they wanted to catch this with the if statement "if (kind != LAYER_SHADOW)". LAYER_SHADOW is defined in layer.h as 1, while LAYER_FB is defined as 0. In the debug session, kind is always 0 - which equals to LAYER_FB. It seems they expect the fb-layer to be initialized before the shadow layer. The fb initialization was commented out by your patch. What was the reason for this. I see two ways to fix it. - let shadowCloseScreen set the privPtr to NULL after freeing it (xfree will ignore such pointers) xfree (pScrPriv); + shadowGetScrPriv(pScreen) = NULL; return (*pScreen->CloseScreen) (i, pScreen); - let LayerStartInit initialize the fb screen. server start - close cycle worked for engine 1,2 and 4.

In the debug session, kind is always 0 - > which equals to LAYER_FB. Yes, the "layer kind" is just an index into an array of the layer kinds that have been created. We only create one layer kind, so our index has to be 0 (which, as you mentioned, is LAYER_FB). Layer was built with the assumption that every screen type it would be used on would have a pointer to the primary display framebuffer so that updates can be written directly to the screen. However, we all know that Cygwin/XFree86 uses a shadow framebuffer as the primary display framebuffer and we depend on the shadow layer to batch blit the updates to the screen. The #ifdef __CYGWIN__'s that I added to layerinit.c attempt to remove the aforementioned assumption when building for Cygwin. > It seems they expect the fb-layer to be initialized before the > shadow layer. > The fb initialization was commented out by your patch. What was > the reason for > this. Ah, because we already initialize the fb system in winscrinit.c. We can't have an fb layer because updates written directly to an fb layer would not make it to the screen in a predictable fashion. We can only have one layer: a shadow based layer. > - let shadowCloseScreen set the privPtr to NULL after freeing it > (xfree will > ignore such pointers) > > xfree (pScrPriv); > + shadowGetScrPriv(pScreen) = NULL; > return (*pScreen->CloseScreen) (i, pScreen); Hmm... I thought I liked this one for a minute, but it likely wouldn't take long until somebody came along and removed that statement in the interest of, "saving code size" :) > - let LayerStartInit initialize the fb screen. > server start - close cycle worked for engine 1,2 and 4. > Engine 8 failed with winAllocateFBPrimaryDD-Could not lock > primary surface > But it also does with the fb layer initialization commented out In light of what I mentioned above, we really can't allow Layer to think that it has an fb-based layer. We can only have the shadow layer, so the above patch won't work. I think the safest way to fix the crash on shutdown is to just add another Cygwinism to layerinit.c: #if !defined(__CYGWIN__) /* * make sure the shadow layer is cleaned up as well */ if (kind != LAYER_SHADOW) xfree (shadowGetScrPriv (pScreen)); #endif As you mentioned, the CloseScreen procedure that layerCloseScreen wraps is shadowCloseScreen (rather than the assumed fbCloseScreen), so it makes sense that we would not want to try to free the shadow privates again. I like this patch because it will keep random block-heads from changing the functionality on our platform. What do you think? On a side note, the ultimate fix would be to nag Keith Packard and Jim Gettys (he's had something to do with RandR, so I suspect he may have helped on layer) into removing the assumption that layer will always have two layer types. I don't seem to get a lot of mileage out of mailing the XFree86 devel list, so perhaps someone else would like to try...

I have a Perl script that starts up Xwin locally and then telnets to the Solaris server and starts Xsession, this seems to work. I have no idea why I can't do this with XWin directly and have given up. You may need to modify the script a bit to change the font server and stuff. You will probably notice that the CDE splash screen is mangled but it does not seem to cause a problem. I have attached the perl script for you and my .bashrc just in case that is needed. (See attached file: .bashrc)(See attached file: cde.pl) Note that the xmodmap command in the Perl script is now performed on the Solaris box as part of my logon rather than locally.

( It pops up in the VFB and probably Xnest as well.) It has to do with the drawing of poly lines. Unfortunately, I do not have a program I can give you to recreate the bug, but take a look, and hopefully add the fix the the XFree source. The problem is in the mi/miwideline.c file. It makes use of the math function hypot ( hypotonuse ... sqrt(a*a + b*b) ) from math.h. Because of the way the defines are set up in the beginning, this file never gets an appropriate prototype for `double hypot(double, double) `. Since it had no proper prototype, I am assuming it was storing the value as a float or int, instead of a double and the value in the line L = hypot ((double) dx, (double) dy); (inside the miWideSegment function) was being stored badly, causing unexpected results... sometimes a crash due to data overwrites (which I was running into). This has probably been run into before, since in the beginning of the file, we see this code : #ifdef _XOPEN_SOURCE #include #else #define _XOPEN_SOURCE /* to get prototype for hypot on some systems */ #include #undef _XOPEN_SOURCE #endif I looked at the math.h file on my solaris box, and I see that hypot is prototyped if _XOPEN_SOURCE is defined. Soo.... it looks like it was an issue for solaris. Unfortunately, math.h in cygwin does not use the define _XOPEN_SOURCE to determine when to use hypot. Instead, it prototypes hypot ONLY when __STRICT_ANSI__ is NOT defined. Well, in the build of this file, STRICT_ANSI must be getting defined, since I have determined that hypot is not being prototyped. I determined this by compiling miwideline.c with all of the XFree flags, and included the -E option, which preprocesses the file, but does not compile it. This output proved that hypot was not being prototyped. THE FIX : I simply undefine __STRICT_ANSI__ before the math.h include, and redefine it after : #if defined(__STRICT_ANSI__) && defined(__CYGWIN__) #undef __STRICT_ANSI__ /* undefine to insure hypot */ #ifdef _XOPEN_SOURCE #include #else #define _XOPEN_SOURCE /* to get prototype for hypot on some systems */ #include #undef _XOPEN_SOURCE #endif #define __STRICT_ANSI__ #else /*#if defined(__STRICT_ANSI__) && defined(__CYGWIN__)*/ #ifdef _XOPEN_SOURCE #include #else #define _XOPEN_SOURCE /* to get prototype for hypot on some systems */ #include #undef _XOPEN_SOURCE #endif #endif /*#if defined(__STRICT_ANSI__) && defined(__CYGWIN__)*/ By putting this at the beginning of the file, instead of the old version (noted above), the bug is worked around... but we may run into it with other files. Either way, I hope this fix can be incorporated into the XFree code.

Of course, anyone with some patience is more than welcome to talk to them. You need only look at the headers providided with Linux or any other *NIX (Solaris, etc.) to come up with lots of things that should be changed in the Newlib headers regarding the __STRICT_ANSI__ define.

I was thinking the very same thing. It is also possibly the cause of the infinite loop when using CDE via XDMCP, though it is less likely than the negative sized edge error.

Yeah, I'm all for an automated system if possible, even if we only made it automated on Cygwin just to let the other XFree86 platforms decide whether they want to do the same thing.

That's because the sample startup scripts attempt to start two optional components (mxterm and vtwm). I might eventually get around to cleaning up the startup scripts so that they only use default components, but the quickest way to get something done around here is...

If we could make it work correctly for cygwin (libGLU), I see no problems why not getting it work automated for cygwin and static for other platforms. libname-def.cpp is in CVS. The automated version could use libname-def.tmp and compile this to libname.def. If something should (not) be exported we might use an include (exclude) list which then goes to CVS. I think the current way of adding new exports to the def-file manually needs to be changed. bye ago BTW: if forwarded you mail about the dictionary at dict.tu-chemnitz.de to the responsible person :) -- Alexander.Gottwald@s1999.tu-chemnitz.de http://www.gotti.org phone: +49 3725 3498080 mobile: +49 172 7854017 From ssiddiqi@inspirepharm.com Tue Jul 31 17:39:00 2001 From: ssiddiqi@inspirepharm.com (Suhaib Siddiqi) Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2001 17:39:00 -0000 Subject: Xrandr Message-ID: <7F2B9185F0196F44B59990759B91B1C2505FA7@ins-exch.inspirepharm.com> > -----Original Message----- > From: Harold Hunt [ mailto:huntharo@msu.edu ] > Sent: Tuesday, July 31, 2001 8:02 PM > To: cygx > Subject: RE: Xrandr > > Alexander, > > > No problem. > > I expected this.

What you need to do, use another name instead of *-def.cpp, e.g.*-cyg.cpp. Change in cygwin.rules where you dllwrap command -def.cpp to *-cyg.cpp. think this might work.

I couldn't justify why XFree86 uses the -ansi flag, nor did I feel like pointing out that they were not declaring entire classes of functions when __STRICT_ANSI__ was defined, rather than allowing a finer-grained approach using additional defines like __USE_POSIX. Maybe that's all we'd have to mention to them to get them to accept patches, but I felt like it was going to be an uphill battle, so I gave up without replying. You'll probably have better luck. Harold -----Original Message----- From: newlib-owner@sources.redhat.com [ mailto:newlib-owner@sources.redhat.com]On Behalf Of Harold Hunt Sent: Wednesday, May 16, 2001 3:38 PM To: newlib Subject: __STRICT_ANSI__ I can't seem to understand the conditional prototyping of some functions in Newlib's headers. When compiling Cygwin/XFree86, which uses -ansi, which in turn defines __STRICT_ANSI__, we get warnings about references implicitly declared functions. Below I have included the simplified prototyping of each offending function; I have removed other functions declared within the same #ifndef scope for simplicity. It looks to me like __STRICT_ANSI__ might not be being used correctly. Any ideas?

Some header files may notice this macro and refrain from declaring certain functions or defining certain macros that the ANSI standard doesn't call for; this is to avoid interfering with any programs that might use these names for other things. fdopen, fileno, popen, etc.. are not ANSI functions, they are POSIX. Newlib has a variety of functions from ANSI, POSIX, SVID, etc.. Any ideas why XFree86 uses the flag? -- Jeff J..
