I reinstalled everything and after trying I get an error at startup, xterm cannot be started. This is well reported at this list and I found no solution or explanatin to this error. Maybe it will be fixed soon? However, I tried to start a second time and now it works, strange... Also I found a patched version of xterm (together with IceWm) and this works 'better', at least togehter with IceWM. Thanks for reading. Ciao, Gerrit P.

Move winDetectSupportedEngines () and winSetEngine () here from winscrinit.c 5) wincreatewnd.c - New file. Move winCreateBoundingWindowFullScreen () and winCreateBoundingWindowWindowed () here from winscrinit.c 6) wincreatewnd.c - Add a function, winAdjustForAutoHide (), to detect the location of auto-hide Window's TaskBars then back away one pixel from those edges of the screen to allow the TaskBars to popup when the mouse is moved over them. 7) winkeybd.c - winKeybdReleaseModifierKeys () - Don't check which modifier keys are down when we lose focus, just release them all; this doesn't have any adverse effect and it makes the code simpler. 8) winkeybd.c - Add a function, winSendKeyEvent ()to simplify sending a keystroke event. 9) winscrinit.c - Move winPaintBackground () to winmisc.c 10) winwndproc.c - winWindowProc () - Remove duplicate checks for pScreenPriv == NULL. 11) winwndproc.c - winWindowProc () - Only reload the privates property when the window handle has changed. I think I did this correctly this time around. 12) winwndproc.c - winWindowProc () - WM_HOTKEY - Create an engine specific function to handle the Alt+Tab hotkey. Move the Primary FB engine's functionality into that new engine specific function. Set all other engine's function to perform no operation. 13) winwndproc.c - winWindowProc () - Change the check on input events from pScreenInfo->dwEngine == WIN_ENGINE_NATIVE_GDI to pScreenInfo->fIgnoreInput.

Back in May I replaced a macro, WIN_XOR, with the C binary operator ^. At the time I didn't realize that I was using the binary operator instead of the logical operator. The end result is that some of the mode keys were toggled each time that Cygwin/XFree86 gained and lost focus, regardless of whether the key state had changed. The WIN_XOR macro is being used again, and I have added a note as to why the C xor operator cannot be used. This has been broken for months, I'm really surprised that no one noticed it yet. 2) winwndproc.c - winWindowProc () - Move the mode key state save/restore function calls to the WM_KILLFOCUS and WM_SETFOCUS messages, from the WM_ACTIVATE message.

I've been using cygwin for all the general stuff for a while (when I absolutely *have* to use windows...). More recently, I've used cygwin and cygwin-xfree to create XWinX, a project which some on this list might be interested in. Basically, it's an X client for win32 that uses cygwin and xlib to project the windows desktop into a window on the X server. Details at http://www.xwinx.org/. Anyway, it's definately something that couldn't exist without the hard work of everyone involved with cygwin, xfree86, and cygwin-xfree, so thanks. My question relates to threading with xlib on windows. Calling XInitThreads() seems to return a value suggesting that threading is *not* supported in the xlib distributed with cygwin-xfree. Is this correct? And if threading isn't supported, how hard would it be to support? At present, we are using locking with pthreads to make sure only one thread uses xlib at any given time, but we'd prefer to use native threading with xlib.

I use Windowmaker daily at work on a Cygwin/XF86 installation runing on NT4. For me Windowmaker compiled out of the box. When configuring I used " --disable-locale". I think I used "--prefix=" when I first installed, but that has been some time ago now. I don't think any of my upgrades have required it. My wmaker.exe and wmake.inst ended up in /usr/local/bin/ I hope this helps. /MB |--------+-------------------------------------> | | "Robert Grey" | | | | | | | | | Sent by: | | | cygwin-xfree-owner@sources.| | | redhat.com | | | | | | | | | 09/11/01 17:47 | | | | |--------+-------------------------------------> >--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | To: cygwin-xfree@sourceware.cygnus.com | | cc: | | Subject: WindowMaker 0.70.0 and the -lX11 problem | >--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| Did anyone ever figure out how to fix the stupid windowmaker -lX11 compile problem?

Your currently handling input events in the block/wakeup handlers - this isn't good. Although it works for a shadow framebuffer because of the nature of the way it handles updates to the screen by blitting touched portions of the fb. The secondary problem to this is that your not using the SmartScheduler as this exposes the problem even more. What we need to do is move the input event handling to ProcessInputEvents() - so this won't rely on the block/wakeup handlers being processed. We can re-enable SmartScheduler. Alan.

It seems something is broken with 1.3.5-1. There were no bug fixes in 1.3.5-1 except one very minor one with key down events when a console is in raw mode. Since xterm is not a console application, I don't know how that could help. cgf From cgf@redhat.com Tue Oct 2 12:59:00 2001 From: cgf@redhat.com (Christopher Faylor) Date: Tue, 02 Oct 2001 12:59:00 -0000 Subject: console/GUI programs...

I think the author is slightly confused. The subsystem bit is set in the executable header. MSVC's dumpbin.exe shows executables as either a "CUI" if it is a console app or a "GUI" if it is a windows app. I'm pretty sure that the decision on how to handle the console is done by the windows loader. AFAIK, it's not up to program control as to whether the program inherits a console or not. If there was prologue code, it would somehow be invoked by -mwindows. If you look at the code in gcc, you can see that the only thing that -mwindows seems to do is pass the '--subsystem windows' option to ld. This does cause the linked program to use a different startup function but I don't think that it does anything magical. cgf >> -----Original Message----- >> From: Craig Barkhouse [mailto:craig@wanware.com] >> Sent: Wednesday, November 14, 2001 2:43 AM >> To: ros-kernel@reactos.com >> Subject: [ros-kernel] Re: Striped VIM for ReactOS >> >> >> >> ----- Original Message ----- >> From: "Robert Collins" >> To: >> Sent: Monday, November 12, 2001 8:11 PM >> Subject: [ros-kernel] Re: Striped VIM for ReactOS >> >> >> > > -----Original Message----- >> > > From: Craig Barkhouse >> > > To: ros-kernel@reactos.com >> > > Sent: 11/12/01 1:40 PM >> > > Subject: [ros-kernel] Re: Bug Report - VIM for Win32 >> > > >> > > The difference is mainly what the compiler inserts into >> your program >> > as >> > > startup code. >> >> > I thought a GUI app was _not_ passed the console handle when it's >> > started from cmd.exe (or an equivalent). >> > >> > Thats more than a compiler difference IMO. >> > >> > If however, this is a compiler issue, please please please >> let me know >> > what call is in the prolog to get attach to the console - the only >> > AttachConsole call I know of is in XP, and the behaviour of >> not getting >> > the console handle has existed since win95. >> >> By default, a newly created process inherits the same console >> (if any) of its parent, unless the process was created using >> the CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE flag.

I'm using now a TEST53 version but the same behavior exist in TEST49. Accessing CDE on AIX 4.3 something weird happen with NUMLOCK : When ON 1) keyboard keys doesn't any visible output 2) numeric keypad keys generates numbers When OFF 1) keyboard keys work OK 2) numeric keypad doesn't produce cursor movements but generates numbers as with NUMLOCK ON In any case ALTGR doesn't work : it generates a Mode_switch keypress event, but no characters are generates. The shortest way I found to make ALTGR work (with my server launched as 'start XWin -query aix -xkbmap it' is : xmodmap -e 'keysym Mode_switch = Alt_R' When using XWin to access a Linux system all work fine !!!

The error I get is along the lines of : "cannot connect to :0.0" Where is the name of my local computer (not the Solaris Machine). This seems to be some sort of authentication problem.

If I recall correctly, the reason the 'nm' command was not committed was because it didn't work during cross compiling.

Small difference - when NUMLOCK is ON, keyboard produces output as a ALTGR is permanently pressed. There is workarround - to use the standard keyboard without -xkb extension and after logon run xmodmap. But: I have to run it every time on every machine I use, what is pretty silly. Is there any plan to fix this bug? (if it is bug, but i think so :) Pavel "Fiorenzo Zanotti" To: Sent by: cc: cygwin-xfree-owner@sources. Subject: Extended keyboard and CDE on AIX4.3 redhat.com 14.11.2001 16:05 Hi, I'm getting some problems with extended keyboard (italian) accessing an AIX4.3 with CDE. I'm using now a TEST53 version but the same behavior exist in TEST49. Accessing CDE on AIX 4.3 something weird happen with NUMLOCK : When ON 1) keyboard keys doesn't any visible output 2) numeric keypad keys generates numbers When OFF 1) keyboard keys work OK 2) numeric keypad doesn't produce cursor movements but generates numbers as with NUMLOCK ON In any case ALTGR doesn't work : it generates a Mode_switch keypress event, but no characters are generates. The shortest way I found to make ALTGR work (with my server launched as 'start XWin -query aix -xkbmap it' is : xmodmap -e 'keysym Mode_switch = Alt_R' When using XWin to access a Linux system all work fine !!! What do you think about these different behaviours ? (X11 version ? CDE initialization sequence ? XWin problem ?)

Message-ID: <200111151002.LAA02997@noc14.de.uu.net> Hi! How can I do copy and paste with the mouse? In a cygwin window, I can mark (and thus copy) text with the left mouse button and paste the marked text by pressing the right mouse button. But when I start xfree86 (by 'startx'), I can't copy&paste in xterms this way. Checking the FAQ/Mailing list archive, I found some hints regarding how to simulate a three button mouse by pressing both buttons of a two button mouse at the same time. While this might be a way to to do it, I'd prefer to copy&paste in xterms the same way I do it in cygwin windows, i.e. paste by pressing the right button only. Any hints to get this working? Please resond to my email address, because I am not subscribing to the mailing list. Or do I need to subscribe? My impression was 'no', because as a newbie, I could not answer questions sent by other people like me... BTW: Installation of cygwin was easy. Getting xfree to run was a litte bit tricky. When started with startx (yes, I copied the '.xinitrc'...), I saw the X Desktop for some seconds before X11 quit. - I found that a simple 'xhost +' in my ~/.xinitrc solved the problem. And: I spend _some_ time to find out how to get a german keybord map... A few lines like this # Sampe how to get non-US kepmaps, remove the # and change country id # as required. The example is for a german map: # setxkbmap de in the .xinitrc template would save a lot of time for many people... Regards.

Message-ID: Dear Friend and Future Millionaire, My wife recently received this e-mail and forwarded it to me to review. We've both several times read completely through it and have been in contact with some of the individuals listed below. We think it's really an excellent opportunity that is well worth the small investment of time and money, and believe that you will, too! AS SEEN ON US NATIONAL TV: Making over half million dollars every 4 to 5 months from your home for an investment of only $25 U.S. Dollars expense one time THANKS TO THE COMPUTER AGE AND THE INTERNET ! BE A MILLIONAIRE LIKE OTHERS WITHIN A YEAR!!! Before you say ''Bull'', please read on the following. This is the letter you have been hearing about on the news lately. Due to the popularity of this letter on the Internet, 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 whether 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 instructions, 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 ATTAINED, IT IS CURRENTLY WORKING BETTER THAN EVER. This is what one had to say: ''Thanks to this profitable opportunity. I was approached many times before but each time I passed on it. I am so glad I finally joined just to see what one could expect in return for the minimal effort and money required. To my astonishment, I received total $610,470.00 in 21 weeks, with money still coming 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 received 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 2 months after that 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. The key to success in this program is to follow the simple steps and NOT change anything.'' More testimonials later but first, ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ===== PRINT THIS NOW FOR YOUR FUTURE REFERENCE ====== If you would like to make at least $500,000 every 4 to 5 months easily and comfortably, please read the following... THEN READ IT AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN!!! FOLLOW THE SIMPLE INSTRUCTION BELOW AND YOUR FINANCIAL DREAMS WILL COME TRUE, GUARANTEED! INSTRUCTIONS: Order all 5 reports shown on the list below For each report, send US$5 CASH, THE NAME & NUMBER OF THE REPORT YOU ARE ORDERING and YOUR E- MAIL ADDRESS to the person whose name appears ON THAT LIST next to the report. MAKE SURE YOUR RETURN ADDRESS IS ON YOUR 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 INVESTMENT COST US$5 X 5=US$25.00. Within a few days you will receive, via e-mail, each of the 5 reports from these 5 different individuals. Save them on your computer so they will be accessible for you to send to the 1,000'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 people 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 loose out on a majority of your profits. 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 will NOT work !!! People have tried to put their friends/relatives names on all five thinking they could get all the money. But it does not work this way. Believe us, and Do Not try to change anything other than what is instructed. Because if you do, it will not work for you.

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 their fortune 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 very 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 receive 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 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-mail each for a total of 50,000. Out of those 50,000 e-mails only 0.2% responded with orders. That's=100 people responded and ordered Report # 2. Those 100 people mail out 5,000 e-mails each 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=$500,000.00 (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 DO NOT LIE. GET A PENCIL & PAPER AND FIGURE OUT THE WORST POSSIBLE RESPONSES AND NO MATTER HOW YOU CALCULATE IT, YOU WILL SURELY EARN BACK YOUR MINOR INVESTMENT (US$25), STILL GETTING INVALUABLE MARKETING INFORMATION AND MAKE A LOT OF MONEY ! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- REMEMBER FRIEND, THIS IS ASSUMING ONLY 10 PEOPLE ORDERING OUT OF 5,000 YOU MAILED TO. Dare to think for a moment what would happen if everyone or half or even one 4th of those people mailed 100,000e-mails each or more? There are presently over 150 million 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 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 receive, all you must 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 cannot advertise until they receive the report. =========== AVAILABLE REPORTS ==================== ORDER EACH REPORT BY ITS NUMBER & NAME ONLY. ==================================================== Notes: 1) Always send $5 cash (U.S. CURRENCY only) for each Report. Because of the global coverage of the program, Checks, other currencies or Money Orders can NOT be accepted. (US$ notes you can obtain from your nearest bank/major hotel/money exchanger) 2) Make sure the cash is concealed by wrapping it in at least 2 sheets of paper. 3) On one of those sheets of paper, Write: ???? 1. the NUMBER & the NAME of the Report you are ordering, ???? 2. YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS and ???? 3. your name and postal address. (In case of e-mail difficulties.) PLACE YOUR ORDER FOR THESE REPORTS NOW : REPORT #1 "The Insider's Guide to Advertising for Free on the Net" ORDER REPORT #1 FROM: Ebenezer Awuley Boye P.O.

Box 566, Marine Parade Post Office, Singapore 914407 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. ____________________________________________________________ $$$$$$$$$ YOUR SUCCESS GUIDELINES $$$$$$$$$$$ Follow these guidelines to guarantee your success: === If you do not receive at least 10 orders for Report #1 within 2 weeks, continue sending e-mails until you do. === After you have received 10 orders, 2 to 3 weeks after that you should receive 100 orders or more for REPORT # 2. If you did not, continue advertising or sending e-mails until you do. === Once you have 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 on the list, you are placed in front of a Different report. 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 financial 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 have ever imagined. Follow the program EXACTLY AS INSTRUCTED. Do Not change it in any way. It works exceedingly well as it is now. Remember to e-mail a copy of this exciting report after you have put your name and address in Report #1 and moved others to #2 ........... # 5 as instructed above. One of the people 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 potential customers you will reach. So my friend, I have given you the ideas, information, materials and opportunity to become financially independent. IT IS UP TO YOU NOW ! ============ MORE TESTIMONIALS ================ "My name is Mitchell. My wife, Jody and I live in Chicago. I am an accountant with a major U.S. Corporation 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 few days later she jumped in with both feet. I made merciless fun of her, and was ready to lay the old ''I told you so'' on her when the thing didn't 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 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 third month my total cash count was $362,840.00.

The XWin-Versions I tried where the actual release, test-49, test-52 and test-53 they all show the same behaviour. It's independent, if I use the das startup-script or starting XWin from a bash. It also makes no difference, which setting I use for ulimit -n If I use a webbrowser on windows I dont't get any connections. Netscape 4.78 tells: can't locate host or tcp error not enpugh memory if i call netstat with cygwin/xfree it shows me round about 22 active connections. IE says, can't reach dns. Than i removed all preferences Files from KDE (.kde and .kde2), copied back the mail-Prefs. This action lessend the effect, but didn't eleminates it it. Without Mail prefs it'??s the same behaviour. Just before XWin Crashes I've seen refresh Problems of xosview. It didn't redraw if I didn't made any input to Xwin (mouse movement was enough).

We routinely ask for volunteers in the cygwin project and I'm sure that the Cygwin XFree86 project would not turn help away. Why start up a separate effort? Did you have great ideas for cygwin's setup or for XFree86 that were brutally shot down? Or, did you decide that the only way to get things done was to essentially fork both projects? cgf From ssiddiqi@inspirepharm.com Thu Oct 4 14:53:00 2001 From: ssiddiqi@inspirepharm.com (Suhaib Siddiqi) Date: Thu, 04 Oct 2001 14:53:00 -0000 Subject: Cygwin+XFree86 Message-ID: <7F2B9185F0196F44B59990759B91B1C268319E@ins-exch.inspirepharm.com> Read User Guide at http://xfree86.cygwin.com.

I do not understand why a separate project is needed? Due to GPL requirements of Cygwin, your download site wont be small. You will need to host all the source codes. My advice is join the developers list at xgree86.cygwin.com and contribute directly to this project. Forking projects does more harm then good.

However since Ralf Habacker stumbled across it, it's time to 'fess up. Winfree86 does not fork either the cygwin or xfree codebase. It is much more akin to a distribution rather than new product. Yes, winfree86 does contain some new code, but I can't see how it can easily be incorporated into the existing project. The problem is that this code is built using proprietary tools. Although winfree86 is GPL'ed, it isn't a clean GPL. Why? Well, integrating xfree into win32 cleanly is going involve COM objects. AFAIK, gcc doesn't support COM (and the thought of doing COM in raw C is pretty revolting). Gcc wont work with MFC or ATL, and anyway both of those involve Microsoft licenses. So that leaves a choice of using a Microsoft/Borland C compiler (do any other C compilers come with a MFC/ATL license?) or using a high-level language such as VB or Delphi. I've chosen Delphi because (a) I've got it and I'm comfortable with it; (b) it's a great prototyping language, and at this stage of winfree86's life I'm doing lots of prototyping. The choice of delphi can and probably will change in the future, probably to C/ATL 'cause mfc is even more bloated than delphi. BTW, I considered c++ builder, but I rejected it (even though starting in C will make later migration lots easier) for two reasons: the version I've got (v3) has COM-related bugs which are very annoying; and starting in delphi will force a *complete* rewrite later, and I'm a great believer in Fred Brooks dictum of 'planning to throw one away'. OK, so what does winfree86 do? Firstly it is a *very* cut down version of cygwin + xfree. The aim is to get its' size down to 3-4mb. Actually, eventually there will probably be two versions of winfree86: a 'slim' version (3-4mb) which only provides an x-server; and a 'full' version (10-16mb) which provides xfree, xvnc, rdesktop (or tsc), telnet (and ssh) and tn3270. So, secondly, winfree86 is not limited to xfree. It will provide other types of desktop connections. The idea is that the user has a folder of remote desktop objects. These could be remote unices (x sever), win32 (rdesktop/tsc), boxen (vnc), routers/appliances (telnet/ssh) or mainframes (tn3270). A user can open the winfree86 folder, double-click on a remote system icon and go directly to the system. They can create a remote desktop by being prompted through a wizard or dialog. They don't have to worry about command line options, getting xfree and ssh working together, the differences between xfree and vnc etc. It will all be dumbed-down and hidden from them. Winfree86 specifically aims to run multiple instances of xfree at the same time. If the user wants to log onto two linux boxes, then they open two separate desktops. There are two user senarios I have in mind: sysadmins who have a who bunch of diverse systems to administer; and users who have an existing win32 boxes who need to access linux or mainframes. Specifically, I'm interested in recycling win95/98 licenses and older hardware, with users accessing an office suite (using wordperfect) through linux. It's an awful lot cheaper to put a high-end server running a 100-user license of wordperfect (about US$16k for the server hardware/software, using existing workstations) instead of 300 new licenses of Office/XP (about US$65k for software plus hardware costs). This is the sort of senario which may well propel linux out onto 'desktops' (the actual workstation will run win32, but the application will run under linux). The whole idea is to have a drop in X product which can be deployed onto workstations, instead of having to license a commercial x-server such as Hummingbird, X-thin/Pro, X-Win32 or even MI/X. The cost of the commercial x-server license kills the economics of having an office-suite server with win32 clients (the senario would still work with a linux thin-client, but most organisations are reluctant to move away from win32 on the desktop; got to get them to move one step at a time...). If you look at http://winfree86.sourceforge.net/images/screen.jpg, you can see a screenshot of winfree86. It shows the winfree86 folder with two remote desktops (my two linux servers) with a connection to 'alan' open in the background. The output from xfree has been intercepted (xfree runs as a child process of winfree86, which captures the output through a pipe) and is shown in a separate dialog box. This is usually hidden and can be popped-up using an icon in the tool-tray. Keen-eyed readers will notice that xwinclip has failed with 'Could not open display'. Functionally, this is as far as I've got. I've been bogged down in pruning the file tree trying to get the size down to 3-4mb. Testing this has been a bitch since it involves constant install/uninstall cycles. I've got a Lenten Reborn card on order. When it arrives life will be much easier :-) Rasjid Wilcox had a very similar idea to winfree86 named winxterm (see http://lasp.sourceforge.net/winxterm/ ). He has already produced a minimal cygwin + xfree of about 4mb. If we can integrate the two projects winfree86 (or whatever its called) will be available much sooner. I hope I explained why winfree86 exists, and why it doesn't really fit into the existing xfree-cygwin project. cheers Matthew ----- Original Message ----- From: "Christopher Faylor" To: Sent: Monday, November 19, 2001 5:37 AM Subject: Re: seperate xfree project on sourceforge > On Sun, Nov 18, 2001 at 07:58:13PM +1100, Matthew Donald wrote: > >I'm in the process of setting up winfree86. > > > >Winfree86 is a minimal version of Cygwin + xfree86 + other code to provide > >an x-server for Windows.

If this requires additional libraries that are not part of the OS, then you can't do this. For some reason, I thought this was the case here.

There is a little porting needed, but not much. Some lists that may be of interest: wine, mingw, reactos. (Why reactos you say? Well they have been very active in adding compatability support to gcc because of their goal - binary compatability with NT. This support includes fastcall linking and fixes to windres amongst other older things).

The next step in my project was to remove the need for me to host any binaries anyway, and just to have a script the grabs the minimal set of required files from the cygwin-xfree mirrors. My guess is that the new setup.exe for Cygwin (perhaps with a very minimal amount of tweaking) would be able to do that too, in which case I don't have to do anything! (Except presumably take down the binaries.) If people are interesed, I'm more than happy to explain exactly what I want to achieve, why, and how it could be integrated with the main project. Rasjid.

I doubt that anyone who is performing a community service like putting up a web page ever has any ill intent. I have, however, communicated with a great number of people who are confused about the GPL and take it personally when they are contacted regarding it. I appreciate very much that you are interested in doing things the right way. I'm not sure how I missed your original mail. Bottom line: if you have no binaries on your page, then there is no need to provide sources. If you do have binaries on your page then the simplest way to be compliant with the GPL is to provide the corresponding sources. >The next step in my project was to remove the need for me to host any >binaries anyway, and just to have a script the grabs the minimal set of >required files from the cygwin-xfree mirrors.

(Except presumably take down the binaries.) Yes. One of the primary goals of the new version of setup.exe was to allow XFree86 to be installed as a cygwin package. You can design a setup.ini which downloads as little or as much as you want. Or, just wait for XFree86 to show up as a package. cgf From rasjidw@bigpond.com Mon Oct 8 02:53:00 2001 From: rasjidw@bigpond.com (Rasjid Wilcox) Date: Mon, 08 Oct 2001 02:53:00 -0000 Subject: seperate xfree project on sourceforge In-Reply-To: <20011120182626.GA11848@redhat.com> References: <002201c1700e$c5b21540$306307d5@BRAMSCHE> <200111200824.fAK8Ouw17375@mail.redhat.com> <20011120182626.GA11848@redhat.com> Message-ID: On Wed, 21 Nov 2001 05:26, Christopher Faylor wrote: > On Tue, Nov 20, 2001 at 07:25:17PM +1100, Rasjid Wilcox wrote: > >On Tue, 20 Nov 2001 06:03, Christopher Faylor wrote: > >> >Rasjid Wilcox had a very similar idea to winfree86 named winxterm (see > >> >http://lasp.sourceforge.net/winxterm/ ).

I want a setup.ini that only downloads the minimal set up packages to get Cygwin-XFree86 connected to an XDMCP server. This is under 10MB. My only problem is that upon running setup.exe, if specifying Internet Install or Download, it overwrites the local setup.ini with the most recent hosted by cygwin.

The user could / would still be given the ultimate choice - it would just make life easier for people that only want a select set up packages. If this is already effectively a feature of the new setup.exe, please tell me how to use it. The "Categories" look like they are part of the setup.ini downloaded too, so I don't think they will do what I have in mind. The 'hack' I had in mind was a script that started the setup.exe program, and waited until the setup.ini file was downloaded off the net, and then went through and 'trimmed' it down to only the packages required. It would be a horrible hack. If I had any C/C++ programming skills at all I would look at writing my suggested 'kickstart' function myself, but I don't. Cheers, Rasjid. PS. I have CC'd this to the cygwin list.

At the moment, the only way is to define a metapackage - that is an empty package with no source, that simply requires the other packages you want to tick. Then instruct your users to select that package. Once setup.hint is able to be embedded in tarballs and still get used by setup, then you can have a local tarball that setup.exe will find when it scans the download cache. Rob P.S. This isn't on topic for cygwin either, it's a cygwin-apps discussion if anything.

I've had a look at http://cygwin.com/setup.html#setup.hint again, and once Cygwin-XFree86 starts being included in the setup.ini file, I think I will be able to get everything to work how I want it, depending on how the XFree part is packaged. I'm assuming that each part will be in it's own package? Rasjid.

One for the Xserver (XWin.exe), one for all the libraries and programs, and the other for the fonts. That gives the developers an easy route to releasing patched Xservers at a later date, and doesn't require the user to keep downloading fonts if a binary has changed. Breaking out into more packages means more time to maintain - that's the downside to it. Alan.

I recently installed cygwin/Xfree86 on a IBM Thinkpad 600E (a notebook). Although the 600E has a three button mouse, The middle mouse button is ignored by cygwin/Xfree86 and I thus can't paste. I first started X by startx which in turn runs xinit. But as a workaround, I switched to startxwin.sh which calls XWin to start X. XWin offers the '-emulate3buttons' option and this allows me to paste by pressing two mouse buttons at the same time. But how can I get cygwin/Xfree86 to use the 3-button mouse of the thinkpad? I tried to change mouse button functionality by xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 3 2" but had to learn the there is a five (!) button mouse defined: There are 5 pointer buttons defined. Physical Button Button Code 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 but even xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 3 2 4 5" has no effect on mouse functionality. I ever have: button functio 1 select 2 extend selection 3 none Any pointers?

This window manager displays each application in a seperate native window. Currently the xfree server does not support a multiple window mode.

Furthermore, Test53 will probably be the server that is used in XFree86 4.2.0, so any outstanding bugs need to be fixed within a week or two. Links: I just posted Test 53 to the server development page: http://xfree86.cygwin.com/devel/shadow/ Server Test Series binary and source code releases are now available via the sources.redhat.com ftp mirror network (http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html) in the pub/cygwin/xfree/devel/shadow/ directory.

Back in May I replaced a macro, WIN_XOR, with the C binary operator ^. At the time I didn't realize that I was using the binary operator instead of the logical operator. The end result is that some of the mode keys were toggled each time that Cygwin/XFree86 gained and lost focus, regardless of whether the key state had changed. The WIN_XOR macro is being used again, and I have added a note as to why the C xor operator cannot be used. This has been broken for months, I'm really surprised that no one noticed it yet. 2) winwndproc.c - winWindowProc () - Move the mode key state save/restore function calls to the WM_KILLFOCUS and WM_SETFOCUS messages, from the WM_ACTIVATE message.

Not really. Though there is some old code in place already it's unlikely you succeed with a project using it. Actually there are two versions of the uil compiler around: one is built as uil while the other executable is named newuil. The latter uses libUil as opposed to the older one which uses it's own code base. If somebody can correct me i'll be happy!

Message-ID: <8E2734629021D3118C3A00204808C89F04F267D5@aunt24.ausys.se> Have recently installed cygwin and xfree86. I noticed I had a US keyboard by default, so after some searching in the mail archives I found two alternatives to get back to my Swedish keyboard: a) xmodmap xmodmap.sv where I found the Finnish/Swedish xmodmap at gotti.org b) xkbcomp -xkm -m se_SE /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/keymap/xfree86 /tmp/se_SE.xkm Both ways works fine. I find most characters back in their right position on my keyboard. But the specific Swedish characters do not work. Nothing happens at all when I press them. The xmodmap.sv seems OK to me (defines the aring, adiaeresis and odiaeresis for the correct keycodes). Printing a file with these characters is no problem. How do I do to get these three characters to work? Should it work (that is, are they supported in cygwin)? /Lars From aquilapp@yahoo.com Thu Oct 11 14:55:00 2001 From: aquilapp@yahoo.com (Federico Ferri) Date: Thu, 11 Oct 2001 14:55:00 -0000 Subject: A "xmodmap" interesting behavior Message-ID: <20011129203859.11251.qmail@web11202.mail.yahoo.com> Ive found an interesting behavior into Cygwin's "xmodmap". Let me spent few words to make U undestand the contex: 1) Im "playing" with this environment: "CYGWIN_NT-4.0 NICNT_CW1 1.3.2(0.39/3/2) 2001-05-20 23:28 i686" NT is WS. "Linux RedHat 7.0 (kernel 2.2.16-22)" 2) On Linux ive installed as windows makers both "Window Maker 0.62.1" "Enlightenment 0.16.5" 3) My Cygwin's startup shell's cmd execute those steps: "Path settings" "Xwin startup" "xmodman to italian keyboard" "xhost to linux box" "Cygwin's xterm" "ssh to linux box and startup an xterm there" The last xterm sets all environment stuffs like DISPLAY etc.. Well, when i start "wmaker" everything is OK, but when i run "enlightenment" it start, but i was not able to move windows or use menus. While im trying to learn how to use other fonts server i launched Xwin without the Cygwin's xmodmap, so ive setted up the italian keyb's map from linux's xterm. I started Enlightenment and it was working fine!!!! Ive done a lot of tests, using both different unix's xfs (sun, aix and elder linux's versions) and internal font's path, but my E works only if i use linux's xmodmap or i don't use it at all. I still have some True Type Fonts trouble, but now i could say it work. I hope it could help! Bye Federico PS: Just an obvios question..

Brian Facey From huntharo@msu.edu Thu Oct 11 19:23:00 2001 From: huntharo@msu.edu (Harold Hunt) Date: Thu, 11 Oct 2001 19:23:00 -0000 Subject: New devel to-do item (release all pressed keyboard keys on focus loss) Message-ID: The following item was added to the Cygwin/XFree86 - Development - To-Do List. (http://xfree86.cygwin.com/devel/todo.html) Caveat: I will never personally implement this feature/bugfix because this item is so easy and I have given so much information here that it would take even a novice programmer less than two hours to implement. Summary: Release all keys when Cygwin/XFree86 loses focus Description: Cygwin/XFree86 currently releases mode keys (Alt, Ctrl, etc.) when it loses the keyboard focus. This is necessary because a user may press Alt+Tab to change to another window, in which case the Alt release message would never be received by Cygwin/XFree86; upon returning the keyboard focus to Cygwin/XFree86, the program will behave as it the Alt key is down. One shortcoming of the current system is that other keys (a, b, 1, 2, etc.) are not released when Cygwin/XFree86 loses the keyboard focus. Thus, a user may press the 'a' key, then another application may cause an event that forces Cygwin/XFree86 to lose keyboard focus, causing Cygwin/XFree86 not to receive the release message for the 'a' key. The end result is that Cygwin/XFree86 will endlessly repeat the 'a' key press until the user returns the keyboard focus to Cygwin/XFree86 and presses then releases the 'a' key to stop the automatic repeat. The desired solution would be to release any keys that are pressed. This will require some sort of table to indicate which key codes are in the pressed state, so that pressed keys may be released upon losing the keyboard focus. We can't use the Win32 API function GetKeyboardState () because that function gives us the Win32 Virtual Key codes, rather than the OEM scan code that we need to send a key event to the X MI (machine independent) input layer. It may be easier to send a release event for all keys except the mode keys, regardless of the key state, given that sending a release message for a key that is not down does not have any adverse side effect. We currently do this last method for the mod keys (Alt, Ctrl, Shift, Kana); earlier versions of Cygwin/XFree86 tracked the state of the mod keys and only released the pressed mod keys. No adverse effects have been observed from releasing all mod keys, and this method is also used by the Windows VNC client.

(http://xfree86.cygwin.com/devel/todo.html) Caveat: I will never personally implement this feature/bugfix because this item is so easy and I have given so much information here that it would take even a novice programmer less than two hours to implement. Summary: Release all keys when Cygwin/XFree86 loses focus Description: Cygwin/XFree86 currently releases mode keys (Alt, Ctrl, etc.) when it loses the keyboard focus. This is necessary because a user may press Alt+Tab to change to another window, in which case the Alt release message would never be received by Cygwin/XFree86; upon returning the keyboard focus to Cygwin/XFree86, the program will behave as it the Alt key is down. One shortcoming of the current system is that other keys (a, b, 1, 2, etc.) are not released when Cygwin/XFree86 loses the keyboard focus. Thus, a user may press the 'a' key, then another application may cause an event that forces Cygwin/XFree86 to lose keyboard focus, causing Cygwin/XFree86 not to receive the release message for the 'a' key. The end result is that Cygwin/XFree86 will endlessly repeat the 'a' key press until the user returns the keyboard focus to Cygwin/XFree86 and presses then releases the 'a' key to stop the automatic repeat. The desired solution would be to release any keys that are pressed. This will require some sort of table to indicate which key codes are in the pressed state, so that pressed keys may be released upon losing the keyboard focus. We can't use the Win32 API function GetKeyboardState () because that function gives us the Win32 Virtual Key codes, rather than the OEM scan code that we need to send a key event to the X MI (machine independent) input layer.

I mean look in winkeybd.c for the function that pops the mod keys (Alt, Ctrl, Shift, etc.) and simply make it loop through all keys not including the mode keys (Num Lock, Caps Lock, etc.), popping each key.

The > winSendKeyEvent() > calls seem to result in keydown events, judging by this output > from my test. Actually, I believe it indicates that X clients interpret alpha key releases without a press as a key event. I was afraid of that. You'll need to declare a global array in winkeybc.c, call it g_fKeyStates, of type Bool and length MAP_LENGTH, initialize the array to 0's in InitInput.c/InitInput (). Then, on each call to winSendKeyEvent (), look at the value of fDown and set the array entry corresponding to dwKey accordingly. Finally, have winKeybdReleaseModifierKeys () loop from 0 to MAP_LENGTH, calling winSendKeyEvent (dwKey, FALSE) for each array entry that indicates that the key is pressed. You know, I've also thought of an alternative that warrents trying. When we loose keyboard focus (WM_KILLFOCUS), try making InitInput.c/InitInput()/pKeyboard global, then call winKeybdProc (g_pKeyboard, DEVICE_OFF). When we regain focus, call winKeybdProc (g_pKeyboard, DEVICE_ON). I think this may have the effect of stopping key repeats due to a missing key release message. Give the latter case a shot before creating a key state array. Harold From march@indirect.com Tue Oct 16 11:44:00 2001 From: march@indirect.com (Michael F.

It sort of works now. I see no autorepeat, but there seems to be one extra keystroke received. I have not tested enough to be sure what the new behavior is. Perhaps the fake winSendKeyEvent(i, FALSE) is interpreted as a key event, which in addition to the original keydown results in a double keystroke seen by the application. This happens only in conjunction with an asynchronous focus loss, and it beats the earlier behavior, but perhaps it could be improved upon. I don't have any more time to work on it today.

Is there a configuration file for Cygwin Xfree like /etc/X11/XF86Config under unixes? Where does it live? The configuration file for FontServer (/etc/X11/fs/config) seems to be not used at all. The command xset +fp /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/new_fondir adds new font dir to font path but only for current X session. It does not store it where it should have(???). Briefly saying where should I put the path of my new_font_dir to get it before all other font pathes? Thanks.

I doubt whether I can figure it out completely without a major time investment. It is still the case that whatever key I use to dismiss the non-X application and return focus to X gets passed on to an X client (including emacs and kedit). I suppose for this the solution would be to make winSendKeyEvent do nothing if its fDown already matches the array element (since in this case both would be false), but I fear that such a change might adversely affect other code that I don't know about. Perhaps we want a g_fLostFocus flag that winSendKeyEvent resets the first time it's called after X regains focus. By the way, the same thing happens for mouse buttons as for keys. If I have a mouse button down when a popup appears, X wrongly considers the button to be down when it gets focus back. In practice, I find this more amusing than annoying, but I suppose in some situations it could cause problems. Thanks for your help. -John "Harold Hunt" on 04-12-2001 09:19:48 PM To: John Tobey/Intdata@INTDATA cc: "cygx" Subject: RE: New devel to-do item (release all pressed keyboard keys on focus loss) Looks good to me.

When I do so, the app is not launched and the machine freezes with 100 % cpu time used. When I kill -1 xwinclip, the app starts normally. I first thought this was a Microsoft office files openning problem only but I also have some xwinclip related problems with the windows time / date properties panel, and with windows explorer when it's launched by right-clicking on the start button. For those two last exemples the symptoms are different as the app is correctly launched but hangs until I kill xwinclip (kill -1 works) The behaviour of xwinclip is : "OpenClipboard () failed" message and xwinclip goes on working well, same message but I can paste on windows environment (and it works on xfree/KDE), or xwinclip is no longer running at all. I'm using Xwin-test53, cygwin version is 1.3.3, KDE 1.2 beta (but I had the same problems with twm, mwm and icewm) and xwinclip test 03. My win environment is NT 4 sp 6 with 96 Mo. I've searched the mailing-lists archives and didn't find any equivalent problem, witch I find weird : many office users and only one with what should be a common problem.

Dont think so, couldn't find the version, but I installed it 2 weeks ago. I found remarks in the older icewm releasenotes that it is not working under w2k. Thanks for your help BTW.

There is no such user root on winnt. But there is a workaround. Start xdm with the option "-debug 1". This should allow you start it.

When I try I get the following: | 0 [main] icewm 2564 handle_exceptions: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION 1198 [main] icewm 2564 open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trace to icewm.exe.stackdump | To get around this I launch everything from a shell script. I have a shortcut on my desktop with the following target: | C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe --login /usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.sh | Jirko Cassuben added the following: I think I found the reason, why IceWM doesn't start from the startxwin.bat. (That is: it does for me :-). IceWM needs the USER and HOME environment variables and they are not set by default on a windows system. I'd consider that a bug in IceWM, because there is no real guarantee that the variables are set on unix systems, either. At least that means it's easy to workaround the problem in XFree/Cygwin. Just set USER and HOME in the batchfile. Also: * Others have reported a problem with icewm.exe hanging on W2K systems during start. The problem appears to be with the default theme (Infadel2) on those systems. To work around this problem use a different theme, such as the win95 theme, when starting icewm, either the -t command line switch or a change in a preference file (see icewm-15.html for info) seems work. Also, if you want to launch xterm from the icewm menu, you need to download a patched xterm.exe from http://home.san.rr.com/dhuyvetter/david/CygwinXFree86.html Let me know if any of this helps.

One of the things I like the most about the X server, is that it is so similar to the *nix ports out there. The auto-configurability obviously is not necessary, as with the settings that go along with it (refresh rates, etc) since it has a graphics library to sit on top of, so it may be a bit easier. A Registry solution would be extremely quick to implement, but you loose the instant familiarity. The very first thing I did when I downloaded the X server for the first time was go directly to the XF86Config file, and was confused to not find it. (This was before the fabulous documentation of course... Thanks Harold :)) But who am I to complain? I havent had a part in the development... only in some debugging. For that matter, I like it just the way it is :) Brian --- "Pidgornyy, Oleksandr" wrote: > I would suggest to make it as in the Linux if this is not more complicated > than via registry. > Arguments: the configuration will be in the same manner as everything rest > otherwise configuration via registry > would make the configuration process dissimilar. > > Sincerely, > Alex > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Alexander Gottwald > [mailto:Alexander.Gottwald@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de] > Sent: Saturday, December 08, 2001 10:39 PM > To: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com > Subject: New to-do item - configuration > > > Hi, > > after several requests, we should add the following point to the todo-list: > > Configuration: > Implementation of a static configuration.

Did you know (or: Did you realize) that the X-Server performs a reset when the last client closes it's connection? The repetition of the startup messages ("winDetect...") seems to indicate that the server is restarting. IF there are no other X-clients running (like a x-term or window manager) then when the xhost program ends, the X-Serer resets and the authorizations are lost. If you are trying to set up permissions in your startxwin script, you need to re-arrange your client programs. If you are trying to setup permissions for an XDM session, you need to: a) use xhost on the remote machine, b) use the -ac parameter on the XWin command, or c) use the $HOME/.Xauthority file Good luck, -D. --------------------- David Dawson david.w.dawson@lmco.com 703-367-3885 > -----Original Message----- > From: Julien Vermillard [SMTP:jvermillard@technicoffice.fr] > Sent: Tuesday, December 11, 2001 12:19 PM > To: cygwin-xfree@xfree.cygwin.com > Subject: xhost problem : > > Hi (again), > > a bit more about my xhost problem : > > > $ xhost > access control enabled, only authorized clients can connect > INET:localhost > INET:jvd.univers > INET:JVD > LOCAL: > > jvd@JVD / > $ winDetectSupportedEngines () - Windows 95/98/Me > winDetectSupportedEngines () - DirectDraw installed > winDetectSupportedEngines () - Returning, supported engines 00000013 > winSetEngine () - Using Shadow DirectDraw > winCreateBoundingWindowWindowed () - WindowClient w 1274 h 995 r 1274 l 0 > b > 995 > t 0 > winInitVisualsShadowDD () - Masks 00ff0000 0000ff00 000000ff BPRGB 8 d 24 > winCreateDefColormap () - Deferring to fbCreateDefColormap () > > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > -- > ------- > > $ xhost + > access control disabled, clients can connect from any host > > jvd@JVD / > $ winDetectSupportedEngines () - Windows 95/98/Me > winDetectSupportedEngines () - DirectDraw installed > winDetectSupportedEngines () - Returning, supported engines 00000013 > winSetEngine () - Using Shadow DirectDraw > winCreateBoundingWindowWindowed () - WindowClient w 1274 h 995 r 1274 l 0 > b > 995 > t 0 > winInitVisualsShadowDD () - Masks 00ff0000 0000ff00 000000ff BPRGB 8 d 24 > winCreateDefColormap () - Deferring to fbCreateDefColormap () > > > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > -- > -------- > Then xhost again for verify : > > $ xhost > access control enabled, only authorized clients can connect > INET:localhost > INET:jvd.univers > INET:JVD > LOCAL: > > jvd@JVD / > $ winDetectSupportedEngines () - Windows 95/98/Me > winDetectSupportedEngines () - DirectDraw installed > winDetectSupportedEngines () - Returning, supported engines 00000013 > winSetEngine () - Using Shadow DirectDraw > winCreateBoundingWindowWindowed () - WindowClient w 1274 h 995 r 1274 l 0 > b > 995 > t 0 > winInitVisualsShadowDD () - Masks 00ff0000 0000ff00 000000ff BPRGB 8 d 24 > winCreateDefColormap () - Deferring to fbCreateDefColormap () > > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > -- > --- > > Apparently xhost is not writting the configuration :( > > > Regards, > > Julien From bzhang@convergentnet.com Fri Oct 19 04:36:00 2001 From: bzhang@convergentnet.com (Zhang, Bo) Date: Fri, 19 Oct 2001 04:36:00 -0000 Subject: Help on XDM with Solaris Host Message-ID: Hello, everyone, I have installed Cygwin/Xfree86 on my NT machine.

It should probably stay that way :). The way cygwin uses the registry for mounts makes it less flexible. For instance, it is not easy to maintain multiple installs of Cygwin for this reason. I would hate to have it that way for XFree as well... development and debugging would be a bear. I OFTEN run multiple XFree servers with different configurations at the same time. A relative config file would be much more flexible. Brian __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Check out Yahoo! Shopping and Yahoo!

Message-ID: <1008162540.1760.0.camel@linus.uk.insight.com> Hello all, I've been using Cygwin/XFree86 for myself for a while now and I'm quite happy. Great work! However, I'm planning on migrating my kids and wife to using Linux on an Xserver on their Windoze-machines (they play games, so no way around that really) for all their internet activity. IE might still be installed, hard to get rid of it, but the individual machines will not be able to connect to the outside internet. Anyway, to the point: I want to just throw a batch-file into the windows-startup folder, which starts up the X-server and subsequently, their Gnome-desktop starts up automatically. I'm almost there, but is there no way to get rid of the DOS-window which accompanies the X-server application? I've looked around and asked but ppl seem to think that when an app sends output to STDOUT (for lack of a better term atm), the DOS-window will stick around. Any way known to get rid of it? Sure, it's nit-picky, but I want to make the setup as newbie-friendly as possible. After all, it's already hard enough to sell them on the new setup as it is ... -Armin From RBodack@sseg.de Fri Oct 19 06:56:00 2001 From: RBodack@sseg.de (=?iso-8859-1?Q?R=FCdiger_Bodack?=) Date: Fri, 19 Oct 2001 06:56:00 -0000 Subject: md5sum and xauth Message-ID: <540D22115D0CD311BC2E00A0246200EE0153202B@ssegadmin> Hi all, I am trying to create a magic cookie for .Xauthority, using this nice command line I found somewhere: dd if=/dev/urandom count=1|md5sum|sed -e 's/^/add :0 . /'|xauth -q It seems that the md5sum shows unexpected behavior on my W2K. md5sum always gives something like this: f3f7d6844351a99aaeb44751037112ad *- The *- seems to be strange.

For what it's worth, I find the following works very well indeed for me. Some small variant of it will probably solve your problem.(I'm using the Test53 server, but I would expect this to work with any version.) 1) Write a shell script that redirects stdin/stdout/stderr before starting the X server in the background. For example, I'm using the following (you'll want different arguments to the server): #!/bin/bash exec 0< /dev/null exec 1> ~/.xdmcp-errors exec 2>& 1 X :0 -screen 0 1024 768 -xkbmap gb -nowinkill -broadcast -once & 2) Run that shell script in the background from a suitable Windows shortcut. I run the above from a "run minimized" shortcut whose target is: C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe --login -c "~/bin/start-xdmcp&" (where "~/bin/start-xdmcp" is the POSIX path of the shell script). The DOS window appears only for as long as it takes bash to start up and fork off the background process, and because it's minimized, I usually don't even notice it. (I use a similar shortcut on the Windows taskbar to launch rxvt -- no ugly console windows for me!) 3) I have found that this (sometimes?) does not work when the CYGWIN environment variable includes "tty". (I think I sort of understand why, but I haven't looked at it carefully.) So I use CYGWIN="binmode ntsec".

The idea is simple: you use Quiet to run a program in such a way that the program doesn't show up on the task bar, but will appear in Task Manager (or any other app that you use to enumerate processes). Obviously, logging off will kill any processes spawned through Quiet.

Ok, you took a real close look to the DIX layer and I guess you know where to hook in to set the configuration parameters. But if I find some time I'll start implementing some parts. Most important is that that we make clear waht we want. There is no need building something that needs to be modified or even rebuild later.

Thanks for taking that one. I'll tell you now that I don't really like the idea of using the XF86Config file, as it wasn't really suited to our needs (we don't have monitors with different capabilities, etc.) so I think a lot of changes will need to be made to the config file reader and to the list of options available. I'm not sure that that is the best way to approach things. I'm leaving this up to you, but I must say that I really prefer the registry approach as it is very simple. There could be a simple "configuration profile" mechanism where you would pass "-profile 1" or "-profile my_profile_name" as the only command line parameter and that would load the specified parameters from the registry. Just an idea... Also, don't forget that command line parameters always override the configuration. In fact, just ignore the configuration if any command line parameters are specified.

Just an idea... Just my 2c: Using a file has some benefits: 1) configurations running off a network share don't require machine alterations to change the setup. (imagine a student lab). 2) There are more tools available to script changes. 3) No registry import is needed for distributed packages (again, thinking labs or corporates, not cygwin net release). As a data point. Earnie has created a variant of cygwin with a mount table on disk, for (as I understand it) similar reasons to those above. Secondly, using the current X config reader could be done quite easily by having the video driver as Win32 override the modelines to what windows reports. Again, just my 2c, as I'm not planning helping implement this feel free to ignore me :}.

They use tons of includes and I think it's more work to get it compiling without the common/xfree86 tree than to implement a new one. I'll make the config file as close as possible to XF86Config to give users from Linux and other Unices a similar environment. > I'm leaving this up to you, but I must say that I really prefer the registry > approach as it is very simple.

Notice that the timestamp of the Cygwin/XFree86 page has changed since you last looked at it. I just added the link to the Contributor's Guide that I think you are referring to. I was saying that I thought it would be pretty hard to miss the other links to the Contributor's Guide that are sprinkled all over the web site and mailing list... Don't worry about missing it.

No, I was wrong. There is a part of the parser which is heavily integrated but the important part, the reader, seems to quite good encapsulated and I even got this library to link with our code. bye ago -- Alexander.Gottwald@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723 phone: +49 3725 349 80 80 mobile: +49 172 7854017 4.

I've been using it for the past week, but occasionally I see duplicate keystrokes. It seems pretty random and not dependent on focus changes, but not completely random. It does not happen during normal typing, only with temporally isolated presses, which is pretty vague, but it's the best I can do at the moment. And it does not happen often, maybe once a day under moderate use. I thought I was having a serious problem with X crashing whenever I returned to my session after having locked NT 4 with CtrlAltDel, but it turned out that this continued when I switched back to Test 53, and it stopped when I uninstalled Folding@Home, so I blamed Folding@Home and resumed use of my patched server. That's part of my delay. I don't really have much time to work on this. I'll keep reporting how it's going if you ask, but it looks as if I will put up with the duplicates as being a lesser evil than the autorepeat. Of course, people not suffering from the autorepeat may see it differently. -John Index: xwin/winkeybd.c =================================================================== RCS file: /cvs/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xwin/winkeybd.c,v retrieving revision 1.8 diff -U3 -r1.8 winkeybd.c --- xwin/winkeybd.c 2001/11/12 08:47:53 1.8 +++ xwin/winkeybd.c 2001/12/14 14:07:44 @@ -391,7 +391,12 @@ return FALSE; } +/* + * Remember which keys are down for when we lose focus. + */ +Bool g_fKeyStates[MAP_LENGTH]; + /* * Lift any modifier keys that are pressed */ @@ -399,16 +404,28 @@ void winKeybdReleaseModifierKeys () { + int i; + /* Verify that the mi input system has been initialized */ if (g_fdMessageQueue == WIN_FD_INVALID) return; - winSendKeyEvent (KEY_Alt, FALSE); - winSendKeyEvent (KEY_AltLang, FALSE); - winSendKeyEvent (KEY_LCtrl, FALSE); - winSendKeyEvent (KEY_RCtrl, FALSE); - winSendKeyEvent (KEY_ShiftL, FALSE); - winSendKeyEvent (KEY_ShiftR, FALSE); + for (i = 0; i < MAP_LENGTH; i++) + switch (i) + { + default: + if (g_fKeyStates[i]) + { + ErrorF ("Simulating release of key #%d!\n", i); + winSendKeyEvent (i, FALSE); + } + break; + case KEY_CapsLock: + case KEY_ScrollLock: + case KEY_NumLock: + case KEY_HKTG: + break; + } } @@ -422,7 +439,12 @@ winSendKeyEvent (DWORD dwKey, Bool fDown) { xEvent xCurrentEvent; - + + /* Ignore ups without a preceding down.

A black screen popped up with the hourglass cursor and nothing else happend. I noticed that there are a few similar problems posted on the list but couldn't find an answer. I solved the problem for me and I assume that the other posted problems are similar if not the same. The problem turned out to be that fonts needed by the CDE login screen are not part of the cygwin-xfree distribution and therefore couldn't be found on my windows machine. What I did was starting up a font server on the Solaris box. You can do it on the command line or in a terminal window on the Sun Box using something like: /usr/X/bin/xfs -config /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fontserver.cfg -port 7101 Now if you invoke XWin on cygwin/xfree you have to tell it to use the font server instead of the local fonts: ./XWin.exe -query -from -fp tcp/:7101 && ./xhost + & substitute <...> with your specifics. Let me know if it works for you. derk From ewu@eskimo.com Sat Oct 20 16:21:00 2001 From: ewu@eskimo.com (Enoch Wu) Date: Sat, 20 Oct 2001 16:21:00 -0000 Subject: Does XDMCP work on these platforms?

I managed: - to read in the XF86Config file and parse it - set the default fontpath (cool thing :) ) - set the default keyboard and XKB settings These are the two most wanted topics from the configfile wishlist. But XKB has massive problems. Each keymap needs to be compiled via the program xkbcomp. This seems to be broken with cygwin. Any keymap compiled with the cygwin port of xkbcomp contains no valid keymap. Compiling with a linux native app works fine. So the next open topics are: - creating code for pointer device - creating code for full layout (binding keyboard and pointer to screen, setting monitor==window for screen) - cleanup code There are two problems with the server which I can't solve - There is no automatic redrawing. I only get the current output when I move a window over the XWin window and force a redraw - SEGFAULT in shadowRemove. The pointer to the second node in the screenPriv list points to 0x7e0. Maybe an initialization problem.

A black screen popped up with the hourglass cursor and nothing else happend. I noticed that there are a few similar problems posted on the list but couldn't find an answer. I solved the problem for me and I assume that the other posted problems are similar if not the same. The problem turned out to be that fonts needed by the CDE login screen are not part of the cygwin-xfree distribution and therefore couldn't be found on my windows machine. What I did was starting up a font server on the Solaris box. You can do it on the command line or in a terminal window on the Sun Box using something like: > /usr/X/bin/xfs -config /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fontserver.cfg -port 7101 > > Now if you invoke XWin on cygwin/xfree you have to tell it to use the font server instead of the local fonts: > > ./XWin.exe -query -from -fp tcp/:7101 && ./xhost + & Thanks a lot ! Should be added to the faq...

Message-ID: <3C1E215B.6020008@oneco.net> Last night, I upgraded my cygwin (primarially to get the bc utulity, but setup upgraded several other things as well) and I find out this morning that XFree no longer works. Has anyone else seen this?

Have you downloaded the most recent versions of the XFree binaries? When you say it doesnt work, what do you mean? Does it start, and when you connect an app, it dies? Does it Segfault? What does it do? I would recommend the most recent Xfree binaries.

So there is no need to start one on your own on the solaris box. This should do it (on your win/xfree box): ./XWin.exe -query -from -fp tcp/:7100 To make text look a bit nicer on my windows box I changed some font settings on the Solaris box, in the file /usr/dt/config/C/Xresources.

A black screen popped up with the hourglass cursor and nothing else happend. I noticed that there are a few similar problems posted on the list but couldn't find an answer. I solved the problem for me and I assume that the other posted problems are similar if not the same. The problem turned out to be that fonts needed by the CDE login screen are not part of the cygwin-xfree distribution and therefore couldn't be found on my windows machine. What I did was starting up a font server on the Solaris box. You can do it on the command line or in a terminal window on the Sun Box using something like: > /usr/X/bin/xfs -config /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fontserver.cfg -port 7101 > > Now if you invoke XWin on cygwin/xfree you have to tell it to use the font server instead of the local fonts: > > ./XWin.exe -query -from -fp tcp/:7101 && ./xhost + & Thanks a lot !

I updated to the most recent dll 3 hours ago, and it all works for me, with the most recent version of extract.exe. If your cygwin install is having some problems, it is very easy to re-install it. Simply move your directory to a different name for a temporary backup, and re-install the cygwin binaries. Thats all I can say with what little I know about your problem.

I've updated the Imlib patch to version 1.9.11 and extended the gtk+ patch because I had problems building Imlib and gnomelibs because the configure couldn't figure out the version of gtk and some other undefined references, the new patches are replacements for the patches at Steven's site. All these patches doesn't work OOTB with libtool because the installed lib......la isn't correct after installation!!! The libs get installed in the correct ./bin directory, but libtool searches in ./lib , they all needs to be changed to look like this: # The name that we can dlopen(3). dlname='../bin/cygglib.dll' instead of: # The name that we can dlopen(3). dlname='cygglib.dll' This is NOT adressed by these patches!!! The NEW patches are attached, get the others at the site quoted above. Gerrit -- begin signature: =^..^= end signature -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

A black screen popped up with the hourglass cursor and nothing else happend. I noticed that there are a few similar problems posted on the list but couldn't find an answer. I solved the problem for me and I assume that the other posted problems are similar if not the same. The problem turned out to be that fonts needed by the CDE login screen are not part of the cygwin-xfree distribution and therefore couldn't be found on my windows machine. What I did was starting up a font server on the Solaris box. You can do it on the command line or in a terminal window on the Sun Box using something like: > /usr/X/bin/xfs -config /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fontserver.cfg -port 7101 > > Now if you invoke XWin on cygwin/xfree you have to tell it to use the font server instead of the local fonts: > > ./XWin.exe -query -from -fp tcp/:7101 && ./xhost + & >Should be added to the faq... >(Q 4.9, http:?cygwin.com/xfree/docs/faq/cygwin-xfree-faq.html#q-remote-solaris ) I would to like to add the following: I had no problems connecting to Solaris8 using Reflection but using Xfree didn't work except on one server. After alot of playing around I seemed to have found the problem. If LOCALE is set to anything else then C then I can't connect using XFree. Solution: copy (onSolaris box) /usr/dt to /etc/dt and edit Xconfig, change LANG from undef to C.

From jgraves9876@yahoo.com Tue Oct 23 07:06:00 2001 From: jgraves9876@yahoo.com (Joel) Date: Tue, 23 Oct 2001 07:06:00 -0000 Subject: Current Events and the End Times - so what? Message-ID: <419.437246.99498796jgraves9876@yahoo.com> I can show conclusively in the scriptures that Jesus Christ is coming back WITHIN A CERTAIN DATE RANGE in the near future. Yes, people do not know the Day or the Hour of Jesus' return - I agree, "No one knows about that day or hour, " Matthew 24:27. or, 1 Thessalonians 5:1, "Now, brothers, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night." But consider this: Luke 21:31, "Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that the kingdom of God is near." What things? These things I explain in the booklet. I Thessalonians 5:2, 4-6, "For you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. But you, brothers, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief. You are all sons of the light and sons of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness. So then, let us no be like others, who are asleep, but let us be alert and self- controlled." Revelations 3:3, "But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you." Matthew 24:43, "But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of the night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. So you also must be ready..." So, the believers in Jesus Christ will know He is coming very soon, if they are awake and ready. And I can show you the signs AND JUST HOW SOON! I have prepared a comprehensive study on the return of Jesus Christ, in a 32-page booklet, which I will email to you for $1.00 U.S., or postal mailed to you for $3.00. Please send cash or check (preferred) to: Summit Bay 4820 Yelm Hwy, S.E. Suite B, #215, Olympia, WA 98503-4903. The Summit Bay ministry is focused on current events and the biblical end times - a "top to bottom" Berean-study of the Word. Be sure to include your email address on the envelope or a piece of paper and the study will be emailed to you promptly. Also included in the study: What is the Rapture? Why is there a Rapture? When will it take place? Who will not be in the Rapture? Israel at war with Russia. The Great Falling Away. The Mark of the Beast. Who does not have the Mark? And more.

I've tried changing my TERM system variable from xterm, to rxvt, to rxvt-cygwin-native. None of that fixed my problem. Anybody know what's going on? I would use xterm, but for some reason, I can't get it to run from blackbox's menu. If I try running it from the menu, I get (in the console): "xterm: Error 14, errno 2: No such file or directory" I know xterm is in my path, because if I type 'xterm' in rxvt within blackbox, it'll startup with no problems.

That fixed it. In my blackbox menu file, I changed it to: 'rxvt -e bash' which fixes everything. Strangely though, on previous installations, I know I didn't have to do this. It just worked. Any way I can tell rxvt to start up using bash instead of sh by default, rather than specifying it in the menu file? I tried removing sh and symlinking sh to bash, but then I just get this prompt instead: "sh- Hallo Robert, > > Am 2001-12-28 um 02:43 schriebst du: > > > What is BlackBox? > > Just a windowmanager (a good one, I use it too). > I have no problems with it. > > > " > > \[\033]0;\w\007 > > \033[32m\]\u@\h \[\033[33m\w\033[0m\] > > $ > > " > > I get this if I start `sh' instead of bash. > > $ sh > \[\033]0;\w\007 > \033[32m\]\u@\h \[\033[33m\w\033[0m\] > $ bash > > Siebenschlaefer@LORELEY / > $ > > Gerrit > -- > =^..^= mailto:gp@familiehaase.de > > From Alexander.Gottwald@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de Wed Oct 24 08:59:00 2001 From: Alexander.Gottwald@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de (Alexander Gottwald) Date: Wed, 24 Oct 2001 08:59:00 -0000 Subject: Remote client cannot display on local xfree-cygwin In-Reply-To: <200112271946.fBRJkBS05072@panix1.panix.com> Message-ID: On Thu, 27 Dec 2001, David Arnstein wrote: > I would like to start an xterm client on a remote machine and have it > display on my local cygwin-xfree86 X server.

Yes, I am using Norton Internet Security 2.0. My problem appears to involve this firewall. In order to properly configure this firewall, I need to identify the Cygwin/Xfree86 program(s) that do networking. I punched a hole through my firewall for XWin.exe, but this was not enough, for some reason. If I punch a hole through the firewall for any program using port 6000 (xserver) then the X server software seems to work.

If you can start a local xterm, but can't display remotely, have you checked the security settings (xfree86 is pretty restrictive by default)? Have you tried starting a local xterm, running "xhost +", then starting a remote session (without closing down the first local xterm)?

Any program that wants to connect to the xserver does networking. So I thinks it's better to allow port 6000 for all programs. If XWin is not running then no program can respond to "attacks" and if it's running then the xserver has it's own authentication protocol. bye ago -- Alexander.Gottwald@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723 phone: +49 3725 349 80 80 mobile: +49 172 7854017 4.

Okay, you can chant an incantation at configure to get esound to compile: configure --target=i686-pc-linux --host=i686-pc-linux That causes the build to work on Cygwin.

I have tried both with and without running Robert's bootstrap.sh, which does the following: aclocal \ && autoheader \ && automake --foreign --add-missing \ && autoconf The results are the same either way. I also tried, just now, only running autoconf.

Unlikely - the problem will be in version syncronisation with the libtool macros's, and IIRC esound has some customisation in there as well.

We haven't been really careful here at Cygwin/XFree86 about building stable releases from the stable branches in the CVS tree. In fact, I don't believe that we have ever done that, as we haven't had many complaints about bugs or stability yet. However, starting with the XFree86 4.2.0 release, which is coming up shortly, I intend to build only from the stable branch, with patches applied to bring our X Server up to date, if necessary. So, the short answer is that you may have to recompile xfig, thus the whole XFree86 tree, yourself. Or, you can wait for the XFree86 4.2.0 release.

Okay, but the process of obtaining the source code, building, and installing is documented in the Contributor's Guide: http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/cg/ The idea behind the documentation was to make it easy enough for a trained monkey to carry out the instructions, but I'm not quite sure if I reached that goal. :) Point being, you might kick yourself if you really need xfig and you find out later that building is really easy.

If I get any others working, I will keep you all posted. Harold, if this completes or begins to complete the To-Do for network audio, please feel free to link to my pages if you desire.

It's built very happily for me since I built a static-only gnome over a year ago, so I didn't expect any problems. For this network audio effort I've .dllised it. The resulting package passes all tests via make check. Note that when you run make install, unless you have set your configure prefix to /usr, or added /usr/local/bin to your path, the .dll won't be found at run-time. There are a number of compilation warnings with 'empty definition', that I haven't looked into yet. Unless a bug is reported, I'm not going to bother looking at them either :}. These are not, AFAIK a result of .dllising audiofile. Anyhow, the patch, which is about 700kb, is attached. It's so large because of the generated autotools files - no actual code changes have been made at all. This patch will *not* be acceptable to the maintainers for the simple reason that this is using a non-released libtool to achieve the .dll creation. That support is targeted for libtool 1.5 at the moment, time constraints on the libtool folk may set that back though. The changes made are: automake 1.4->automake 1.5 libtool 1.3->libtool-1.4-rbcollins VPATH build capability added. (Some bad use was being made of automake constructs that was trivially fixed). For 'source' file changes search the patch for Makefile.am and configure.in. The patch includes the generated autotools files, so there's no need for anyone who wants to try it to have automake etc installed. In fact I'd advise against running any of the autotool commands - you'll then have to grab my libtool from Chuck Wilson's site and install that to get it going again. Have fun, and I'll look at esound tomorrow.

I'll add decoration for those and reissue the patch, along with the esound one. Chuck: A suggestion for ld if it's feasible: Detect auto-exported variables that can't be auto-imported and warn about them. This will save guesswork or laborious source code auditing for new ports. I haven't looked at the auto-import stuff since the work we did months ago - does this sound feasible to you?

Not surprising given what I put my cygwin install through. .- Verification of this would be a great help -. Patch alterations. Same deal as for audiofile, fixed a coupla minor automake uses, updated to 1.5, added in my hacked up libtool. No source changes except decorating a couple of symbols. This library does require decoration for some symbols, this is handled automatically. **WARNING** only the symbols I've needed to decorate to build the package are decorated. Auto-import is safe, and will spit an Error if it can't auto-import correctly. If an error is spat when linking to a particular bit of s/w change extern to ESDEXTERN in esd.h for the failing symbol and let me know. So, can anyone test this (orthogonal to the audiofile .dll patch) and let me know if it works for them? Once I hear from someone I'll finish up and decorate all the symbols.

I thought that was already the case. There was a discussion about the exact wording for the warning about un-autoimportable variables. Why can't the variables be auto-imported? I wonder if there is a case that the linker isn't catching. cgf From huntharo@msu.edu Sat Oct 27 10:30:00 2001 From: huntharo@msu.edu (Harold Hunt) Date: Sat, 27 Oct 2001 10:30:00 -0000 Subject: Esound 0.2.23 References: <001001c15e97$04795e20$8100a8c0@phoenix> Message-ID: Kevin, > Harold, if this completes or begins to complete the To-Do for > network audio, > please feel free to link to my pages if you desire.

Well, there sort of is, here is what that To-Do List item discusses: Embed the xwinclip functionality within XWin.exe. [This] task may be rather difficult, as there are numerous collisions between the X client headers and the X Server headers that must be prevented. One method of preventing collisions may be to break the win.h header into multiple files, and to add a list of only the necessary includes to the top each .c file. Now, I've said before that I'm not so sure that it is a great idea to integrate xwinclip into XWin.exe, both because of the header file collisions and because I think it would unduly complicate the message loops. However, I'd like to see what an integrated xwinclip looks like in source before I shoot the idea down for good. So, you could start by trying to integrate xwinclip into XWin.

Oops! I just fixed the typo and uploaded the compiled documentation. I also replaced the 0.9.2 source taball with a new tarball with the typo fixed. However, upon re-reading that section I noticed that it tells you to build in the xc/ directory, which isn't the smartest way to do things. You really want to build according to the Contributor's Guide instructions, which have you build in a seperate directory using the 'lndir' utility: http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/cg/prog-build-native.html Nevertheless, thanks for the fix, Harold From huntharo@msu.edu Sun Oct 28 13:18:00 2001 From: huntharo@msu.edu (Harold Hunt) Date: Sun, 28 Oct 2001 13:18:00 -0000 Subject: FAQ entry 8.9 has potentially confusing typo References: Message-ID: > replaced the 0.9.2 source taball with a new tarball with the typo fixed.

I have install xfree86 just like the directions post on the net. However, when i run the startxwin.bat, i get message error " could not find cygwin1.dll." Well, x window pops up when i copy the cygwin1.dll, cygncurses5.dll, cygz.dll, into the directory of c:/cygwin/usr/X11R6/bin. However, when i type "ls" command in the bash shell, which pops up inside x window. It says command not found. I have read somewhere that i should check out the first few lines of startxwin. I did check out though. Well, it says something like this: SET CYGWIN_ROOT=\cygwin SET PATH=.;%CYGWIN_ROOT%\bin;%CYGWIN_ROOT%\usr\X11R6\bin;%PATH% I do not know what it means. However, i guess that it says something like the program is able to access all dlls or exe files in c:/cygwin/bin or c:/cygwin/usr/X11R6/bin . I think the path that is being set is correct because i install cygwin in c:/cygwin. However, i do not know why they didn't find cygwin1.dll. I would appreciate any suggestions.

Building esound with audiofile support > Right, well I now see why the errors. Sorry for being so slow today. The initial error is a warning, and it was falling back to static only compilation, but the header decoration I had to put in to esound to workaround one of the limitations of auto-import prevents static linking. For now, as all I'm interested in is whether the .dllised version works, could you build audiofile patched, and install it, and then try esound as a .dll again. If that works then I'll do up a 'smarter' decorated version of the esound headers that should work better.

I don't think so. The way we recognize the problematic imports not proactive, it's reactive. When gcc compiles an object with an import reference to a "bad" variable type, it creates an offset addend. We SEE that nonzero addend, and flag it as an error -- but you only see that when trying to link the *calling* object; you don't see that funky addend stuff when linking the *providing* object (the DLL itself). AFAIK, there's nothing special about the export itself (except that it requires multiple words for storage) that we can recognize proactively when building the DLL itself. (Anything based on subtracting the base addresses of "consecutive" exports is bound to be flaky). I don't really think this is doable -- but then again, I didn't believe Paul could pull of the auto-import thing in the first place. :-) --Chuck From Dean.J.Simon@shell.com.au Sun Oct 28 19:34:00 2001 From: Dean.J.Simon@shell.com.au (Simon, Dean SAL-TI/6) Date: Sun, 28 Oct 2001 19:34:00 -0000 Subject: Path statements and problems locating files Message-ID: I've just installed Cygwin/XFree86 on a Windows95b system and I'm striking some problems - 1.

If we added a "--warn-bad-auto-export" as an ld option for building DLLs, could we flag errors that way?

I think we have two facets of the same thing. 1) Exported multi-word variables are normal, and only an issue for the current auto-import code. The linker may be able to discriminate between explicitly export and auto exported variables, and only warn on auto exported variables - which is likely to be quite precise as undecorated build headers implies that the user headers will also be undecorated. 2) The detect of multi-word variables by offset deltas would be fraught with false positives.

The reason is that .dll location for linked .dlls is carried out by the win32 PE loader. The path will be resolved relative to the current working on the curent drive when the program is executed. So if cygwin is on c, and X is on d, then double clicking that bat file on d will rsult in \cygwin\bin resolving to d:\cygwin\bin _until the working drive is changed_. ...which is why I use startx (the shell script) ;].

As I do not have a very good understanding of autotools and libtool, I decided to just patch the Makefile.in files (and decorate headers as necessary using Chuck Wilson's dllhelpers as a template. I allow configure to build static libaries, but the Makefiles then run a script to generate the dll from the .a file, and update the .la files. In case they are of any help, I attach the patches here. BTW I have been applying this technique to the gnome packages one by one, and have got as far as gtk-engines, building xfce-3.8.8b as a test platform, and so far all seems to work well. I am having difficulty with ORBit, so thats as far as I have gat to date. Obviously, fixing libtool to generate dlls is a much preferable solution, but I offer these patches as temporary hacks to anyone who is interested.

I figured it out. Setting the GDI brush color has no effect on the stipple fill; I needed to change the DIB color table instead. That single change makes the X background draw perfectly on startup now! Yippee!! :) I sent the patch in just now. You, and anyone else, can still help a great deal by starting to implement the other operatoins in winFillSpans, winGetSpans, and winSetSpans. Of course, the current operations need to be made more robust and more correct; their current purpose is just to draw the X background and they make a few assumptions related to that to make things easier.

If there is a way to identify a given export as a multiword variable --OTHER than subtracting it's address from the address of the "next" export-- then, yeah, that would be great. I just don't know if there IS any way, within the context of pe-dll.c:auto_export(), to tell if a given export is multiword or not. --Chuck From cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com Tue Oct 30 03:03:00 2001 From: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com (Corinna Vinschen) Date: Tue, 30 Oct 2001 03:03:00 -0000 Subject: posted: NEdit 5.2 References: <20011030101803.32764.qmail@sourceware.cygnus.com> Message-ID: <20011030120307.A8531@cygbert.vinschen.de> On Tue, Oct 30, 2001 at 10:18:03AM -0000, NEdit development team wrote: > > Title: NEdit 5.2 > Url: http://nedit.org/download/current.shtml > Type: Software > Author: NEdit development team > Email: develop@nedit.org > Date: 2001-10-30 > Text: NEdit is a Motif/Unix text editor for programmers > and general users.

My local system is a Windows 2000 PC running the very latest Cygwin binaries, plus the xfree86 binaries. Xfree is running great locally under Windows. My Linux server - which is on a different subnet - is a Red Hat 7.2 system running XFree86. There is no firewall between the client and the server. The Linux server runs X11 just fine locally, My steps: 1) From a local cygwin shell on NT, I run "startxwin.sh" and X starts with a term. 2) ssh -v -l root mylinuxbox.foo.com -X (ssh version is what comes with Cygwin and is very recent) 3) Attempt starting an X11 app on the Linux box, such as "xeyes" or "kwrite", and I get the following info: [root@zaphod /root]# xeyes debug1: client_input_channel_open: ctype x11 rchan 2 win 4096 max 2048 debug1: client_request_x11: request from 192.168.100.21 35785 debug1: fd 8 setting O_NONBLOCK debug1: channel 1: new [x11] debug1: confirm x11 debug1: X11 connection uses different authentication protocol. debug1: X11 rejected 1 i1/o16 debug1: channel 1: read failed debug1: channel 1: input open -> drain debug1: channel 1: close_read debug1: channel 1: write failed debug1: channel 1: output open -> closed debug1: channel 1: close_write debug1: X11 closed 1 i2/o128 In particular, the "X11 connection uses different authentication protocol" seems to imply a software and not a configuration issue. The one "hack" I did was -- and this may be significant -- I could not start X11 on the Windows box because it couldn't find cyglibncurses5.dll. A search of the drive found cyglibncurses6.dll. I first tried symlinking, but that didn't solve the problem, so I duplicated the cyglibncurses5.dll file and renamed it to cyglibncurses6.dll Very ugly, I know :-) but XFree won't even start under Windows unless I do this. It does not sound related to the remote X11 problem, but I should mention this. Any help is most appreciated! Thanks!

One sunday morning I opened my Outlook Mail-box and read a letter from my good friend. I live in a small town and I really like the way things go. Never aimed for anything that big. I would rather prefer a simple life. But there was something in this letter that subconsciously attracted me. At that time I knew not what it was. It was just a very simple line saying "come and see everything for yourself". There was somethign about this new Internet project called BeginGame and about making lots of money in no time. I didn't believe a single word there, but decided to take a chance and look at it. I went into the project's head site over at www.begingame.com and read some of the texts there. As I was reading it, I thought to myself, "Maybe I could be rich too... why not take a chance...". I went in and got registered. After that everything went on really fast and before I knew it, I already had some pretty good money on my account. I am not a programmer, I am strictly a user, but I am amazed how easily I was able to make my own begingame web-site (see it over at www.happydude.begingame.net). There are lots of different features there: some pretty cool games, free E-Mail account, your own WebSite, etc. but the most interesting is the money earning system. Its done in such a way that one person can easily make large sum of money just giving two-three hours a day to it. And now, as my bank account gets filled up with money, I can just relax myself and enjoy my peaceful life, spending most of the time communicating with my many new friends. The thing is that I am the kind of person who likes sharing his happiness with others. So, take your chance too, come and try it, there is no way to loose here, you can only gain, but this might just solve all of your problems. http://www.begingame.com Thank you for reading this letter.

Basically this should be enough: - open an xterm window on your Cygwin/XFree86 - type ssh -X your.other.host in the xterm, and reply to the prompt for a password if you get one You're now logged in on the remote host, with SSH X forwarding set.
