There was no circular dependency for glib-1.2.10. In fact when I ported it I had never heard of pkg-config. Anyway, I have built pkgconfig-0.12.0, with your patch, and gnome-vfs configure works fine with it. So if/when it is adopted as the "official" cygwin version I will remove pkg-config from my website. Steven From jens@daredevil.de Wed May 1 03:07:00 2002 From: jens@daredevil.de (Jens Drozd) Date: Wed, 01 May 2002 03:07:00 -0000 Subject: Cygwin XFree starting problem. Message-ID: <002501c1f0f8$0e68f640$0500a8c0@athlon> I'm currently facing the following Problem (which I've read questions about in this mailing list, but no answers): When I start XWin with startxwin.bat, startxwin.sh or with console always the same thing happens: For every xterm (which I started through the script) and for the Windowmanager (I tryed twm as well as icewm) a DOS Box opens. Then a window for XWin opens (I'll call it the white window from now on, but all that shows up in this one is a big white screen and on the upper left corner there seems to be the windowmanager with the xterms but its just way to small (about 80x100 pixel) to recognise it. When I close the xterm DOS boxes the black box on the upper left corner dissapears. The curser dissappers when I move it into the 'white window' but when I click into the left upper corner there seems to open a dialog window which starts to a appear the way I move the invisible mouse pointer over it. That's it for the problem description here's what my computer's like: I'm running Win98SE with DirectX Version 4.08.00.400 installed. I installed XFree with the Xinstall.sh in binary mode (I tryed to install it at first with the cygwin setup tool with the same result, but deinstalled that before reinstallation) The paths seem to be allright and nothing seems to be missing. I have a 100BaseT Network card, and standard (I guess) components else.

So you can use this to provide the fonts and probably avoid a crash. assuming the x font server is only available locally, you'll need to change it to use the network. below is a link detailing how to do this on linux mandrake. http://www.jeremywilkins.freeserve.co.uk/extend/remoteFontServer.html You then need to tell Xwin to use that font server, by adding "-fp tcp/:7100" without the quotes to the command line, eg.

I did some tests on a Gnu/Linux (Redhat 7.0): 1/ put mouse cursor on a shell window and press "F1": a) Cygwin/XFree Nothing, to iconify a window you must: - put the mouse cursor on the root window - press "F1" - clic on the title window b) Gnu/Linux/XFree The window is iconified with one click, on the title of the window or on the body of the window. 2/ put mouse cursor on the emacs window and press "F1": a) Cygwin/XFree Emacs calls the help menu of emacs b) Gnu/Linux/XFree The emacs window is iconified. ====> my conclusion: Cygwin/XFree doesn't give the "F1" event to the window manager.

I want to know how I should handle switching over to the Setup.exe-based installation of XFree86/Cygwin. Should I just download the packages and install "over" the existing XFree86/Cygwin installation? (I always download binary & source packages and then separately install only the binaries, keeping the sources in tarball form until I should happen to need them). If it matters, I've installed a couple of separate XFree86 software packages (XFig and the NCAR Graphics and NCL systems). The NCAR software installation isn't trivial, so if I could avoid having to redo it, that would be preferable. Thanks.

Test44 is waaaay older than the 4.2.0 release. Please revert to the previous executable. The 4.2.0 server is producing the same behavior, but the error messages are redirected to /tmp/XWin.log. Have a look there and you will see the same error message of "could not open default font 'fixed'". The answer for that error is at: http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-xfree-faq.html#q-error-font-eof However, you'll probably be better off to delete /usr/X11R6 and /etc/X11 and reinstall using Cygwin's setup.exe. Just go into setup.exe, expand the XFree86 category and choose the XFree86-base package.

Yes. And I had implemented similar code. (Including the SetFileAttributes call). I'm not sure why it is still failing to do what it should.

We could use a good tool for writing these X keymap files (I'm talking about xkb support, not xmodmap), but I think this is not the way to go with a word processor. I often have multilingual text, and If I'm in a, say, Russian part of my file, I want the keyboard to behave differently than in a, say, Esperanto or German or Czech part. In MS Word (which I have to use for a certain project, otherwise I'm fine with emacs and LaTeX), I can map key sequences to characters, a feature I really like and which would solve these problems for most of us. Missing it keeps me from using Oo for that MS Word project and other things apart from playing around with it. It could be done nicer than in Word, of course, so that certain mappings would only be valid for certain languages. For me, that autocorrect function would already be sufficient if it could be told to immediately replace in the middle of words as well, so I could simply say 'c -> cacute and untick a 'whole word only' checkbox. There would be several projects I'd use Oof for immediately. But I don't know where I should post this and I don't have the time to dig into the sources of Oo myself.

BTW, has anybody tried to run kde-cygwin using the new cygwin-daemon to provide the IPC services? Currently, the cygwin daemon implements some subset of the three main IPC mechanisms (semaphores, messages. shared memory) -- but I don't remember if shm was part of that subset... Anyway, even if the cygwin-daemon DOES provide the necessary IPC features, you'd probably need to recompile kde-cygwin against it instead of CygIPC. --Chuck the cygwin-daemon code was recently merged into CVS; the snapshots have the functionality but the daemon itself is not "turned on" by default. Just like ipcdaemon.exe, you have to start up the cygwin-daemon yourself. For more info, see the cygwin-developers mailing list archives.

SULEIMON TAFIDA NIGERIA NATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION FEDERAL SECRETARIAT,FALOMO- LAGOS, NIGERIA. TELEPHONE: 234-1-775-0572 Dear Sir, First, I must solicit your trust and strictest confidence in this transaction, this is by virtue of it's nature as been utterly confidential and top secret. You were introduced to us by a mutual acquaintance from the Nigerian Chamber of Commerce, Foreign Trade Division. He does not know of the nature of what I am about to introduce to you. He only knows that I have some funds to invest abroad, hence he recommended you. I am the Director of Engineering & Project of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (N.N.P.C) in Lagos, Nigeria. I am seeking your assistance to enable me transfer the sum of US$36,400,000.00 into your private or company account for mutual benefits. This money came about as a result of a contract for the supply of two thousand, three hundred and sixty-seven computer unit, installation and the Y2K compliance turn-around maintenance executed on behalf of my Ministry(N.N.P.C), in the year 1999. This contract was officially assigned to be awarded and executed by two foreign contractors at the tune of US $116,500,000.00, but in the course of my negotiation, I bargained with only one foreign contractor, a Bulgarian firm which now executed the contract at the cost ofUS $80,100.000.00. Thus leaving the remaining US$36.4million floating in the escrow account of the Central Bank of Nigeria(C.B.N) to the benefits of we the three members of the contract award panel unknown to the contractor and any other person in my Ministry. This contract has been satisfactorily executed, inspected and commissioned, and the Bulgarian firm is presently securing his payment from my Ministry. It is however to this effect that I seek your maximum assistance and approval to present your company name alongside with the Bulgarian contractor as the second foreign contractor to enable me transfer the difference (US$36.4M) into your account for further investment depending on your advice. On actualization of the transaction ,the funds will be shared thus: 1. 20% of the money go to you for acting as the beneficiary of the funds. 2. 10% for incidental expenses that may be incurred ie insurance, phone bills, documentation etc. 3. 70% to we three members of the Contract Award Panel. All logistics are in place and all modalities worked out for the smooth actualization of the transaction within fourteen working days of commencement after receipt of the following information by fax: Your company's Name. Address. Phone/Fax number and activities. Also, if we opt for electronic transfer only other than payment by solar bank draft or cash call program, then your bank account particulars. The above information will enable me make the payment application and lodge claims to the concerned Ministries in favor of your company or name and it is pertinent to state here that this deal is entirely based on trust and the fear of God. If you are able to handle it, feel free to reach me on phone number via my Telephone:231-1-775-0572 which is my confidential line. Also furnish me with your own phone and fax numbers as I will be sending you all necessary registration documents immediately I receive your positive response. Thanks in anticipation for your positive response. yours faithfully.

No, we haven't yet. I have already thought about using the cygwin daemon, but currently there are some reason why this isnt't happened. The first reason is, I don't know how stable and performant the cygwin ipc stuff works. I have thought about checking this, but found no time to do so. Perhaps I found some time after the kde 2.2.2 b1 release day next week. The second reason is, that it does not make sense to compile kde-cygwin with the cygwin daemon and use cygipc for xfree. The consequence of this seems to me to compile xfree with cygwin daemon too, but I does not have the knowledge and time to do this job. (I don't like to say that the xfree guys has to do so, only that I can't) > subset of the three main IPC mechanisms (semaphores, messages. shared > memory) -- but I don't remember if shm was part of that subset...

To devote more to Cygwin, I'd need to allocate consulting time from my employer, and my employer will want money to do that. I will eventually get it done on my own time however. > > As for it being turned on, you need to patch newlib (for > the new key_t > > definition) > > Could this perhaps not be patched in the cvs or are there > compatibility issues against it ? The definition of key_t in newlib is a 32bit int, for cygdaemon it needs to be 64 bit to store the inode and the index cleanly. Redefining that will break every cygipc linked application when they are rebuilt, until cygipc is rebuilt against the new source. However rebuilding cygipc will break every already linked app. So until the cygdaemon shm code is complete, Chuck and I figured that it was not worth putting everyone through the agony of a backwards incompatible ABI change. > > and cygwin (to export the functions) > > all shm* symbols ?

I have found my misunderstanding. I have started the "startx" instead of "startxwin.sh ". The "startx" (I am not in linux) is pointing to the not existing "xinitrc" file. Therefore the windows manager "twm" was newer started. However if I remember corect the "startx" has been worked in previous releases of the XFree86 on Cygwin... I am using the 4.2.0.x. Thanks to all. ;-) Viliam Batka From huntharo@msu.edu Sun May 5 20:23:00 2002 From: huntharo@msu.edu (Harold Hunt) Date: Sun, 05 May 2002 20:23:00 -0000 Subject: startup of XFree86 with not movable windown In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Viliam, > I have found my misunderstanding. > I have started the "startx" instead of "startxwin.sh ". > The "startx" (I am not in linux) is pointing to the not existing "xinitrc" > file. > Therefore the windows manager "twm" was newer started. Okay, I added a post-install script to the XFree86-lib package. Look for XFree86-lib-4.2.0-3 to appear on mirrors within 12 to 24 hours. Install this package with Cygwin's setup.exe.

Your problem is that the xinit command (located in /usr/X11R6/bin) cannot be found. This executable should be installed by default, but the PATH statement in Cygwin is not updated to cause /usr/X11R6/bin to be an executable search path. Thus, if you open a Cygwin shell and cd to /usr/X11R6/bin and try to run 'xinit' it won't work; however, running './xinit' will work. But I'm getting a different problem when I change startx to use ./xinit: MZ???????,@??????': not found ?????': not found 1??: not found ??p{??: not found server: not found ped: not found X: 6: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")") giving up.

I have done following things in current release (4.2.0-2) and it is working fine for me. 1) changed the PATH in my ".profile" file, located in my home directory: export PATH=/usr/X11R6/bin:$PATH startx & 2) changed the one line in "startx" script like this sysclientrc=/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc 3) add in my home directory ".xserverrc" file with following line. (this was actually not required in order to run the "startx" in full screen mode) X -screen 0 1024x768x16 -engine 4 -ac -nowinkill -noreset -emulate3buttons 100 After that all what I needed was to start an cygwin shortcut on desktop of my PC and the XFree86 has been started automatically (because of ".profile"). Than I realised that I can start the XFree86 more times. Is there any danger when I have more than one Xfree86 on my desktop? Once there will be the new package available I will try it and I let you know.

Have I missed anything? We're using Cygwin/XFree86 4.1 at work to connect to a linux server and find it *extremely* reliable: Over 20 boxes and no such problems yet. What message do you get?

At the moment key_t's are generated locally without the cygserver. This means that in theory a cygipc linked app will still work with the new key_t code after recompiling (I think we do need to remove ftok from cygipc at that point though). If we have a list of key_t's, then it must be global, so cygserver will have to be running. I think that that is bad. Also at the moment, we know that the same file will generate the same key_t every time. (because it's inode based). If we walk a list, then we'll have to walk the entire list *and store the file name the key was generated from* to see if it's been handed out already. Lastly we don't have an existing list of key_t's, that was a list of shm areas you are referring to, and they can share the key_t values. (the shmid is the index in that list). In short, I don't like the idea of making key_t 32 bits.

Do the cygserver patches to CVS cygwin1.dll add that function to the kernel? > Also at the moment, we know that the same file will generate the same > key_t every time. (because it's inode based). Ah, a quick 'cvs update' and I see the answer to my question is yes. So, I can't really remove ftok() from cygipc until after cygwin-1.3.11 is released... > In short, I don't like the idea of making key_t 32 bits.

I have a workarround - I run xmodmap on AIX machine everytimes I logon - I have alias for that, so I don't have to type the whole command. I couldn't add this command to some profile, because it messes keyboard on console (and I was too lazy to write some condition, which recognises if I'm logged on locally or remotely). Yesterday I tried to run xmodmap locally (as described below), and it works - great, I though - but only if cygwin works at all. Explanation - when I run Cygwin and switch to another application immediately, Cygwin doesn't start. I think this is simmilar - when I run Cygwin and then xmodmap, Cygwin MOSTLY doesn't start. Any ideas?

Once again : - I cannot change the configuration of the AIX Server (the main reason is that in fact, I have MANY servers, some AIX, some Solaris, some Linux,...) - I just can change the "local" configuration, that is to say the client for XDMCP. My connexion is like : start /B XWin -screen 0 1400 1050 -emulate3buttons -unixkill :0 -kb -query %AIXIP% I cannot use the option +kb since AIX NEEDS the option -kb (the reverse option of +kb, as the FAQ said). Of course, if I use a commercial version of such a X11 client (exc..d), my connexion is perfectly in french keyboard, according to my local PC configuration. And I try to figure out how to do the same thing in order to replace all my exc..d tools by Cygwin/XFree. I am not new in Unix, nor in X11, but there, I can't figure out a solution. I even try to recompile it, without success. Any Ideas ?

Whereas fd_width is 256, FD_SETSIZE (the number of bits in fd_set variables) is only 64, so that select() tests for unpredictable file descriptors from 64 to 255. For mwm, as x_fd has low values, it will be sufficient to limit fd_width in mwm.c: if(fd_width > FD_SETSIZE) fd_width = FD_SETSIZE; More generally, the value of FD_SETSIZE in /usr/include/sys/types.h should be increased (as the comments say, to >= NOFILE from param.h)!

This error from tar can usually be ignored. Signal 13 under Cygwin is SIGPIPE and this means that tar closed the pipe from the sub-process it created in order to decompress the data (in this case gunzip) but gunzip continued to write to that pipe after tar had seen all it wanted. This can be a symptom of the data being "blocked" such that the last block was partially unused by tar but still compressed by gzip and subsequently decompressed by gunzip. A few things you might want to try: - Use the "-t" or "--test" options of gzip to validate the compressed file - Uncompress the file separately and then use tar to examine or extract the archive contents - Using the "-i" or "-B" options to tar sometimes eliminates the "signal 13" diagnostics - If you know the blocking factor used to create the underlying (compressed) tar archive, you can supply that as the argument to the "-b" option (note the case sensitivity of the options "b" vs. "B"). By the way, where did you obtain the file ("nedit-5.3RC1-source.tar.gz") in the first place? Perhaps someone else can try to reproduce the symptom? I don't see it in the XFree86 packages I downloaded using Setup.exe (since I switched to getting XFree86/Cygwin from Setup.exe I've discarded the older tarballs).

If I use the XFree86 terminfo entry in our official terminfo package, then ncurses-based code will be able to make better use of the extended features in the XFree86 xterm. However, if someone were to use a NON XFree86 xterm on their cygwin machine, then the additional features exposed by the XFree86 terminfo entry would not actually be supported by the xterm.exe they were using. How likely is it that someone would use a NON-XFree86-provided xterm.exe on a cygwin platform? Not very, IMO. To me, this is a nobrainer -- use the XFree86 xterm terminfo entry. The only reason I haven't done so, is that XFree86 was not "officially" available via the setup.exe-based installation. --Chuck From huntharo@msu.edu Tue May 7 22:07:00 2002 From: huntharo@msu.edu (Harold Hunt) Date: Tue, 07 May 2002 22:07:00 -0000 Subject: Missing terminfo data in XFree86 4.2.0 In-Reply-To: <3CD8B1AC.1050305@ece.gatech.edu> Message-ID: Chuck, Ok, sounds like a no-brainer.

However, the source I use is not from your new package integrated in the Cygwin setup mechanism but was downloaded one day before its appearance. I installed under /usr/local (default from configure; used "env CFLAGS=-O ./configure --disable-debug --enable-production"). The buttons work, but the left button functions only with fast doubleclick (for terminating), whereas using its menu causes confuse behavior afterwards. Also, after lowering (iconizing) it is sometimes difficult to reopen the window. From the README: Things that work: o - menus. Not all functions are implemented, so not all Motif functions work. o - button bindings in general. Specifically, work needs to be done to pay attention to up/down/click/click2. > mwm reports on startup: > Cannot stat configuration file '/usr/X11R6/bin.mwmrc'. > Using builtin defaults. > at line 0 > > > Are the builtin defaults horribly broken? In my case, it says that ~/.mwmrc is missing. Are system.mwmrc and Mwm in the right places (/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/mwm/system.mwmrc, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/Mwm)?

I've just noticed that using XPDF with Cygwin XFree86 maxes out the processor on the X server box (ie XFree86), and leaves the actual XPDF program using almost zero CPU time. Redrawing the current window after it has displayed is instant. The result is that XPDF is very slow to use, with 2 or 3 second drawing times for each page... Using XVision server instead of XFree86 does not give these symptoms - new pages are rendered much faster, XVision uses very little CPU, XPDF uses more. I've done some packet sniffing using ethereal, and XPDF appears to be making the following sequence of Xlib calls a lot of times for each page (characters I guess) while ( rendering ) { XQueryColors: pixels_item: 0x0000ffff XPutImage: ZPixmap, width = 6, height = 4, depth=16, xpos = 400 ypos = 400 XGetImage: ZPixmap, width = 6, height = 4, depth=16, xpos = 406 ypos = 400 } The XPutImage/XGetImage calls are sent in a single packet. The XQueryColors call is very wasteful - it seems to be asking about the same color every time. This appears to be a bug in the anti-aliased font rendering of t1lib - you can turn it off by starting XPDF with the "-t1lib plain" option, but it doesn't seem to improve the performance at all. The only differences when run on XVision is that the pixel depth is 24 (XVision pretends to be 24 bit truecolor in 16 bit modes). I've also tries x11perf -getimage10, XFree86 achieves 590 GetImage 10x10 (with 100% CPU), XVision 1140 (with minimal CPU) (ie XVision is almost twice as fast!) x11perf -putimage10, XFree86 achieves 4890 PutImage 10x10 (with 100% CPU), XVision 2590 (minimal CPU) (ie XFree86 is almost twice as fast!) It looks like XGetImage() could do with some optimisation... Seeya, Adam -- Real Programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to read, and even harder to modify. These are all my own opinions.

The commerical X Server on Windows that you mention most likely translates X graphics calls to an equivalent set of GDI graphics calls, which allows utilization of that $200 graphics processor you bought, whereas Cygwin/XFree86 currently does all drawing to an offscreen framebuffer that is stored in system memory with updated regions of the offscreen framebuffer occasionally (sometimes frequently) transferred to the screen. Work is progressing on translating X graphics calls to GDI graphics cals in Cygwin/XFree86. Take a look at the temporary SourceForge project setup to host the development: https://sourceforge.net/projects/xoncygwin/ If you compile the server there yourself you'll see that it is actually capable of drawing most types of graphics. However, it uses an even worse (but essential) method of dumbing down each graphics call (arcs, circles, filled polygons, etc.) into a series of simple horizontal line drawing operations, "spans". As you can imagine, this is very slow. This functionality is essential though, as some X graphics calls do not translate cleanly, or at all, to GDI graphics calls. Thus, once we have the spans routines working correctly we can start translating the easier functions, such as filled circles. We expect that the performance of Cygwin/XFree86 with the NativeGDI engine will be similar to that of commerical X Servers on Windows, as almost all of them use the same method.

BTW XVision has a performance optimisation thing you can run, which tries three different rendering methods for various X primitives - "Correct", "Windows" and "Custom" - and uses the fastest for each.

I have installed the latest Cygwin (setup say: setup-timestamp: 1020655814,setup-version: 2.194.2.26) and Cygwin xfree (4.2.0). I use xmodmap with the xmodmap.no found on http://www-usercgi.tu-chemnitz.de/~goal/index.php3?jump=xfree. Using this xmodmap the AltGr keys (which produce @??{[]}...) works fine in the local X bash shell. When running a remote xterm on a Solaris host the AltGr keys still works fine in xterm and in Emacs. When I start a Java (X) application (Gawors LDAP browser which can be found on http//www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/~gawor/ldap/index.html) on the Solaris host however AltGr no longer works inside the Java applications. I have tested the same application using XWin32 and have no problem with the AltGr key there. Local xev reports keycode 113 (keysym 0xff7e, Mode_swithc) when I press the AltGr key. I havn't found xev on the Solaris host so I don't know what that would report. How should I set up Cygwin xfree to handle AltGr also for Java applications?

To spark Eugene's memory we studied Electrical Engineering together at UTS during the early 90's and spent too much time in the UTS bar. Consequently when we were no longer studying and some time passed his contact details expired. Our discussions included topics such as assembly for the Amiga and hassling Colin Jones for his love of the Archimedes. We were paired up for labs and wrote some code to determine the shortest nodal path between two nodes for a flight path simulator for MCE.

Does st_ino creates uniq inodes rsp. hash values ? If so, why not (CASE1) adding an ascii representation of id to the path and calling hash_path_name() (the function which creates statbuf.st_ino) or (CASE2), using id as hash value for hash_path_name() like the following code. key_t ftok(const char *path, int id) { struct stat statbuf; // call stat() only as file existing check if (stat(buf, &statbuf)) { /* stat set the appropriate errno for us */ return (key_t) -1; } #ifdef CASE1 char buf[MAX_PATH]; sprintf(buf,"%s%08x",path,id); return hash_path_name(0,buf); #else /* CASE2 */ return hash_path_name(id,buf); #endif } This would allow using the current 32 bit key_t implementation.

I don't think there's a problem but... When (or after) I run XFree86/Cygwin, my system develops serious stability problems. The last time it happened, I first noticed that my dual-CPU system was showing only one CPU in the Task Manager "Performance" tab. That scared me, so I decided to reboot. More problem symptoms followed. When the boot process completed the hardware scan and got to the point where the "Welcome to Windows 2000" low-resolution splash screen would be taken down and the monitor resolution switched, I instead got a long period of disk activity, which I took to be an automatically invoked file system check (I have all NTFS systems, so I'm not used to this happening and it alarmed me). There was no indication of what was happening (as their ordinarily would be for a checkdsk, either manually requested or automatically invoked). However, once that was done, the system booted normally. Nonetheless, I don't like things like this happening to my system. Now, I assume XFree86/Cygwin has no kernel or driver components and that this symptom points to a problem in the driver for my Matrox G400 MAX (which is the latest driver). Over the past couple of years since I've had this card, I've found that new Matrox drivers improve upon the old ones (they've fixed some odd symptoms in Java GUIs and in Mozilla) without any down-sides, but it appears that's not so this time. Anyway, unless someone tells me that these symptoms really could have been the result of problems in XFree86/Cygwin and that re-installation using Setup.exe over an older "manual" installation could lead to this, I'm assuming my XFree86/Cygwin installation is OK. I downloaded and installed all the XFree86/Cygwin packages, by the way. However, I'm loath to use XFree86 while this problem lurks. I have comprehensive daily backups and all, but tempting fate like this is not my idea of a thrill (that's what bicycling in urban traffic is for)...

And I assume that the _apparent_ loss of a CPU was not actually that, but rather the result of some stray reference clobbering a kernel data structure. Judging from the later symptoms, there was damage to some data structures that got written to disk, too.

Actaully, I think the long delay was the copy-on-reboot stage of the cygwin upgrade. I vaguely remember something about XFree needing to update a LOT of in use files, so setup puts those files in the copy-on-reboot list. Fonts? Anyway, copying hundreds of files, one at a time, can take a while... We should probably warn people about this; they could really scrog their cygwin if they interrupt the copy-on-reboot. --Chuck From robert.collins@itdomain.com.au Thu May 9 21:14:00 2002 From: robert.collins@itdomain.com.au (Robert Collins) Date: Thu, 09 May 2002 21:14:00 -0000 Subject: "Legacy" Installation of XFree86/Cygwin vs. Setup.exe XFree86 Packages Message-ID: > -----Original Message----- > From: Charles Wilson [mailto:cwilson@ece.gatech.edu] > Sent: Friday, May 10, 2002 2:09 PM > > Actaully, I think the long delay was the copy-on-reboot stage of the > cygwin upgrade.

Besides, XFree86/Cygwin was not running when I did the install, and probably had not been started between the previous system reboot (something I do daily) and the installation. Under those circumstances would there still be this copy-on-reboot process? Anyway, I did interrupt the process a couple of times. I even contemplated restoring from my Retrospect crash recovery, but at the last moment, I decided it might be something "normal" and decided to exhibit some patience.

First I had omitted --enable-static --disable-shared, but building failed. Also the file "Install" says: On windows using Cygwin, U/WIN or Interix, LessTif must be built as static libraries. Because, one of the biggest issues with X on Win32 is the moronic DLL format. Specifically - it is not possible to export data from a Win32 DLL in a form that can be used to statically initialize another global variable. Data access from a DLL requires at least one pointer indirection, and hence executable code. This is why X11R6 doesn't have DLLs for Xt/Xmu/Xaw (and Motif) on Win32. Unfortunately, configure does not force --enable-static --disable-shared automatically for Cygwin. > 2) Download the lesstif binary distribution for Cygwin from > http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/lesstif/lesstiif-cygwin-0.93.18.tar.bz2. > See if their package works, then figure out if they built static or shared > libs. They built static libs only; but it will take some days before I can install and test their package on my PC (I just unpacked it on a Solaris host for looking at it.) They obviously used --prefix=/usr/X11R6, whereas you seem to have used /usr and I have used none (=/usr/local).

Their libraries are very large (libXm.a > is 18.8 MB), thus seem to contain debugging information. Some more information about mwm.exe in lesstiif-cygwin-0.93.18.tar.bz2. The mwm.exe in that package (/usr/X11R6/bin/mwm.exe) needs the following dll's: libICE.dll, libSM.dll, libX11.dll, libXext.dll, cygwin1.dll and KERNEL32.dll. So obviously it has linked libXm and other needed libraries statically. Also this mwm.exe has the 100% CPU-time bug when idle. One other thing: please keep the lesstif cygwin packages (on sourceforge and the 'official' cygwin-XFree86 package) synchronised: i.e agree on same prefix etc. Maybe the sourceforge page should point to the official cygwin-XFree86 package in the future. I do not want to end up with mwm.exe in both /usr/bin and /usr/X11R6/bin and libXm.a, libMrm.a and libUil.a in both /usr/lib and /usr/X11R6/lib.

But how do you ensure this in the current implementation ? st_ino contains a hash value. So this problem concerns the current implementation and the suggestion I've made. > > How do you suggest that you avoid hash collisions? With my suggestion I haven't adressed the problem of avoiding hash collisions. I only have addressed the newlib patch you suppose. Sorry :-( BTW: I have additional looked into the cygipc implementation. They uses only the lower word of st_ino and lowest byte of st_dev and lowest byte of id. And this seems to work, although the must have this hash collision problem even more, doesn't it ? May be this is another way to prevent the newlib patch.

I didn't look into it more than being able to compile and run from the source directory. IIRC, I still got a number of warnings about DLL auto-imports and the like. I didn't even try changing the prefix from /usr/local. (I'm no autotools expert, either.)

Had the smae behaviour on W98SE. WindowMaker copies its config files to the user home directory ($HOME/GNUstep/...). If this directory is not binary mounted you get the signal 11. Probably the reading code in WindowMaker opens the config files in binary mode and then gets confused by the \r\n combinations it gets from a text mounted filesystem. If you mount the home directory as binary, no signal 11 and WindowMaker works fine.

This is problem which was reported earlier on this list (25 April) by Edmund Urbani. Here I a part of his mail: Yesterday i installed cygwin with XFree 4.2.0. Everything worked fine from the start except that I could not set it up for my german keyboard layout. All I get, when I try to use eg. setxkbmap is a popup window (outside the X server as a normal Win2000-window) with this error message: Failed assertion fds_on_hold !=NULL at line 643 of file /cygnus/netrel/src/cygwin-1.3.10-1/winsup/cygwin/dtable.cc (End of quoted mail) So, I have exactly the same problem. When I moved /usr/X11R6 and /etc/X11 from another instalation with 4.1.0 everything works fine. So I have to stay with 4.1.0 as setting keyboard layout from command line when starting X is not solution for me.

This is sort of a 'growing pain'. We'll be following the Cygwin standard of using the /usr prefix.

We will only change this is some difficult problem arises for which there is no other solution than to change the prefix for all the XFree86 packages. After we get the static LessTif package released, and a few people confirm that it works, I will contact the LessTif folks to let them know that binaries for Cygwin are being distributed via setup.exe and that they can add a link to the Cygwin home page instead of distributing Cygwin binaries.

I don't think I ever gave an opinion on the /usr/bin vs. /usr/X11R6/bin.

I don't care what the prefix is, just so long as I can blame someone else :) I believe the main problem with using /usr/X11R6 as the prefix is that /usr/X11R6/bin is not in most users PATH, nor is /usr/X11R6/lib in their lib search path, nor is /usr/X11R6/include in their includes search paths... etc. It may end up being a lot of trouble to use anything other than /usr as the prefix.

I was one of the main proponents of "all the other dists put everything into /usr/bin, so we should too". Earnie raised the issue about "binaries that can exist as either X- or MS-native-windowing, but not simultaneously as both in a single executable (e.g. rxvt). I said fuhgeddaboutit until we actually SEE the problem. And then I saw the problem. tcl/tk. The cygwin version that is currently distributed uses MS-native windowing, for lots of very good reasons. It is installed into /usr/bin, /usr/include, /usr/lib. But what if I want to build an X-based application with tk? I'd need a X-based tk -- which obviously cannot go into /usr/bin, /usr/include, and /usr/lib. So, now I think that REGARDLESS of what "those other distributions do", we should segregate X- linked apps and libraries into /usr/X11R6/. Very few other platforms have multiple windowing environments to deal with. The closest similarities I can think of are: 1) X- and terminal-. Two common solutions: a) single binary, operates in either mode (FSF-Emacs) b) two different binaries with different names (vim, gvim) 2) X- and svgalib-. a) Two different binaries with the same name; only one may be installed on a system at a time (Mandrake's graphical Aurora bootup) b) two different binaries with different names (????) 3) "regular X" and "gtk" a) two different binaries with the same name; only one installed on the system at a given time (XEmacs. In fact, Mandrake for instance ONLY provides the gtk version; the normal X- version is no longer available officially). But, these are all VERY rare. Of the thousands of apps out there, most are JUST terminal, or JUST X-, or JUST svgalib. The conflicts just haven't happened often enough for the distributions to come up with a cohesive plan -- they just seem to special case the rare conflicts. I think Earnie's right: these problems will not be rare for us. We want native-windowing apps, and we want X-windowing apps, and sometimes, we want the same program in either/both/ forms (tk, XEmacs, rxvt, gtk(?), etc). To see a real comparison between what "they" do and what we do, imagine what would happen if Berlin or W or another 2nd-generation X became really popular... So, finally, in summary, IMO, X- linked apps should be compiled and installed with --prefix=/usr/X11R6/ --Chuck From cwilson@ece.gatech.edu Fri May 10 16:02:00 2002 From: cwilson@ece.gatech.edu (Charles Wilson) Date: Fri, 10 May 2002 16:02:00 -0000 Subject: lesstif mwm bug References: <200205101945.g4AJj6A28152@pilot23.cl.msu.edu> Message-ID: <3CDC516F.7070403@ece.gatech.edu> Harold L Hunt wrote: > I don't care what the prefix is, just so long as I can blame someone else :) > I believe the main problem with using /usr/X11R6 as the prefix is > that /usr/X11R6/bin is not in most users PATH, nor is /usr/X11R6/lib in their > lib search path, nor is /usr/X11R6/include in their includes search paths... > etc. It may end up being a lot of trouble to use anything other than /usr as > the prefix. But any time you're compiling an app that needs X, you always need to supply (or have configure figure out) where X is. --x-includes, --x-libraries, etc (or configure uses the default location for X, and sticks that into CFLAGS/LDFLAGS for you...). And, if I need to link against a lib that uses X, then I by necessity must also link against X itself. So, I'll get /usr/X11R6/lib and /usr/X11R6/include. Now, I can see a problem for the search ORDER: if I'm linking an X-app, then I want to use the (say) gtk+ headers from the X-gtk build, not the native-windowing-but-cygwin-runtime-gtk (if there ever is such a beast). So, I want to make sure that /usr/X11R6/include/gtk+1.2/ is searched BEFORE /usr/include/gtk+1.2/. But, -I and -L directories are always searched before the "default" /usr/[include|lib] -- so that's okay. But what about 'foo-config' scripts? I'd want to run '/usr/X11R6/bin/gtk-config --cflags', not '/usr/bin/gtk-config --cflags' during configure. So, I need to make sure that /usr/X11R6/bin/ comes BEFORE /usr/bin in my PATH, when I begin to build a X- linked app. (This harkens back to Earnie's "moode" supposition...) Similarly, what of 'pkgconfig(gtk+, ver >= 1.2)' -- pkgconfig will use the 'gtk+.pc' file in its "home" directory -- /usr/lib/pkgconfig/. But, that's where the native-windowing-but-cygwin-runtime-gtk will put its .pc file. So, I also need to either: 1) I somehow indicate to /usr/bin/pkgconfig.exe that it should look in /usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig/ BEFORE /usr/lib/pkgconfig (but it still needs to look in both, to make sure that libs which do not depend on windowing-modality get picked up) 2) I need a second pkgconfig.exe in /usr/X11R6/bin/ that is configured to behave as in (1); I insure that THIS one is called when building X apps, because I set the PATH as described earlier...that whole "moode" thing. Both (1) and (2) require some hacks to pkgconfig; I'm willing to do that. --Chuck From huntharo@msu.edu Fri May 10 19:26:00 2002 From: huntharo@msu.edu (Harold Hunt) Date: Fri, 10 May 2002 19:26:00 -0000 Subject: lesstif mwm bug In-Reply-To: <3CDBB8F3.9DE4A100@cistron.nl> Message-ID: Ton van Overbeek, > Some more information about mwm.exe in lesstiif-cygwin-0.93.18.tar.bz2. > The mwm.exe in that package (/usr/X11R6/bin/mwm.exe) needs the > following dll's: > libICE.dll, libSM.dll, libX11.dll, libXext.dll, cygwin1.dll and > KERNEL32.dll. > So obviously it has linked libXm and other needed libraries statically. > Also this mwm.exe has the 100% CPU-time bug when idle. Hmm... I just rebuilt the LessTif package using --enable-static --disable-shared and installed it. I still get the same problem where mwm runs and doesn't have the 100% CPU-time but, but it still doesn't do anything when I click things (other than make the button flash). I ran cygcheck on this new mwm.exe and got: $ cygcheck mwm.exe Found: C:\cygwin\bin\mwm.exe C:\cygwin\bin\mwm.exe .\libICE.dll C:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll C:\WINNT\System32\KERNEL32.dll C:\WINNT\System32\NTDLL.DLL .\libSM.dll .\libX11.dll .\libXext.dll So the libraries are indeed static in the new LessTif that I just built. However, I became curious so I uninstalled the new LessTif (0.93.18-3) and reinstalled the supposed shared library version of LessTif (0.93.18-2). I then ran cygcheck on this old mwm.exe and, lo, got the same results: $ cygcheck mwm.exe Found: .\mwm.exe .\mwm.exe .\libICE.dll C:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll C:\WINNT\System32\KERNEL32.dll C:\WINNT\System32\NTDLL.DLL .\libSM.dll .\libX11.dll .\libXext.dll Thus the default settings for building LessTif on Cygwin must be to build static libs only. Therefore the LessTif 0.93.18-2 Cygwin package has static libs. This also means that my mwm.exe problems have nothing to do with shared libs (since I've only been building static libs). One interesting thing to note is that I can get mwm to switch between virtual desktops by moving the mouse pointer to the edge of the screen. The window redraws correctly for the new virtual desktop and I can navigate back to the original desktop. However, I cannot move, resize, etc. the xterm window. Finally, I switched the prefix from /usr to /usr/X11R6. I don't want to release this new package until we can figure out why mwm isn't working for me (as it will probably do the same for others).

This indicates that the mwm.exe bug has nothing to do with LessTif. In fact, this indicates is a problem with the way that Cygwin/XFree86 treats the NumLock key and possibly other modifier keys. As a test I just compiled XWin.exe with a modified xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xwin/winkeybd.c/winGetKeyMappings () function that has these lines removed: case XK_Num_Lock: pModMap[i] = NumLockMask; break; Pulling those lines out causes mwm.exe to have no problems, regardless of the state of the NumLock key. Of course, the NumLock key no longer functions in Cygwin/XFree86, but what can you do? :) I'm going to go ahead and release the new LessTif packages that use /usr/X11R6 as the prefix and I'm going to see if I can fix the way that XWin.exe handles NumLock, etc. Harold > -----Original Message----- > From: cygwin-xfree-owner@cygwin.com > [mailto:cygwin-xfree-owner@cygwin.com]On Behalf Of Ton van Overbeek > Sent: Saturday, May 11, 2002 8:28 AM > To: Harold Hunt; cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com > Subject: RE: lesstif mwm bug > > > At 22:26 5/10/2002 -0400, Harold Hunt wrote: > >This also means that my mwm.exe problems have nothing to do with > shared libs > >(since I've only been building static libs). > > > >One interesting thing to note is that I can get mwm to switch between > >virtual desktops by moving the mouse pointer to the edge of the > screen.

There was one company that specialized in moving VMS apps to UNIX (with a primary focus on AIX). As I've probably previously mentioned, my old company used to make its living doing VMS-on-UNIX at an application level. It wasn't free software but Digital (aka, Compaq, aka HP) used to like us. However, I'm aware of at least two free software projects which have some VMS-on-UNIX components. I don't have their URLs handy, though. They could be dead now, I guess. cgf From huntharo@msu.edu Sat May 11 13:40:00 2002 From: huntharo@msu.edu (Harold Hunt) Date: Sat, 11 May 2002 13:40:00 -0000 Subject: lesstif mwm bug In-Reply-To: <20020511201833.GA27472@redhat.com> Message-ID: Chris, I spent probably 4 hours searching Google and Compaq documentation for libraries to aid in porting from VMS to UNIX and I've subsequently spent at least 15 to 30 minutes everyday since then trying a few more queries, just to make sure that I haven't missed anything. I'm primarily in need of a library that provides translations of VMS system calls implemented using POSIX system calls, as I'm porting from VMS to Tru64 UNIX (formerly DIGITAL UNIX) so I already have the DIGITAL FORTRAN compiler that I need. In fact, I already have implementations of the handful of functions that I need (STR$UPCASE, STR$COMPARE, STR$POSITION, LIB$SKPC, LIB$FFS, LIB$SPANC, etc.) but I want to open source them so that others can use them and hopefully tell me what they do incorrectly. For example, I just fixed a bug in STR$UPCASE in that it didn't overwrite the destination string with spaces if you called as, say STR$UPCASE(NAME, NAME(1:8)) where NAME is originally 25 characters long. In my searching came up with three libraries: 1) Sector7's VX/RT (not free) library: http://www.sector7.com/openvms_to_windows-unix.htm 2) Accelr8's Open LIBR8 (not free) library: http://www.accelr8.com/lib.html 3) General Atomics Fusion Group (http://web.gat.com/) has a set of VMS functions that they implemented on HPUX: http://web.gat.com/computers/1994_12_lib.html However, they never published this as open source, so I'd somehow have to find someone there that knows what I'm talking about, then convince them to open source the work (albeit a small amount) that they did. So, I'm kinda out of luck here. I've got little choice but to start my own VMS system call library project. :( Harold > -----Original Message----- > From: cygwin-xfree-owner@cygwin.com > [mailto:cygwin-xfree-owner@cygwin.com]On Behalf Of Christopher Faylor > Sent: Saturday, May 11, 2002 4:19 PM > To: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com > Subject: Re: lesstif mwm bug > > > On Sat, May 11, 2002 at 12:40:10PM -0400, Harold Hunt wrote: > >Interesting.

XFree86 resets the server when the last X client quits. So probably your xhost + is lost due to the reset. You can prevent this reset by always running a local xterm or run a window manager local that you don't quit.

Yes. I'd suggest that any non-trivial discussions take place on cygwin-apps, optionally copied to cygwin-xfree. Any xfree-only discussions, don't need to be on cygwin-apps.

Firstly, thanks to everyone involved with cygwin/xfree for making such a wonderful tool freely available. By way of introduction, I'm currently investigating the feasibility of using cygwin/xfree to run OpenOffice from a Linux server. In my work so far, I've come across one problem that I wanted to share with the list which involves security, or more to point, MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1-style security. In our environment we require access to the local display both locally and remotely. Currently, the only client we run locally is "xwinclip" to enable clipboard interoperability. Otherwise, all client applications (e.g., OpenOffice) run remotely. This translates to 3 cookies: 1. local display (:0) 2. localhost (127.0.0.1:0) 3. network interface (for example, 192.168.192.1:0) In summary, what I've found is if you specify the path to the "XAUTHORITY" file on the command line in DOS-format (-auth C:\TEMP\.Xauthority), then local applications can connect using any one of the following display settings, and all 3 of the following commands work. xclock -display :0 xclock -display 127.0.0.1:0 xclock -display 192.168.192.1:0 However, if I try to access the same display remotely, I get the following error message: Xlib: connection to "192.168.192.1:0.0" refused by server Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key Error: Can't open display: 192.168.192.1:0 Reversing the situation, if you specify the path to the "XAUTHORITY" file on the command line in UNIX-format (-auth /tmp/.Xauthority, where /tmp is mounted on C:\TEMP), then remote clients can access the display remotely. However, local applications can now only access the display via 192.168.192.1:0. Weird! There must be something that I'm missing. Note, in both situations the X-authorization records were correctly copied to the remote system. I visually checked as much using the "xauth" command. I don't think this is hard to re-produce so I'd be interested in what others find. My guess is that the X server is somehow not consulting the "XAUTHORITY" file when a connection attempt is made from either :0 (UNIX-domain socket) or 127.0.0.1:0 (localhost) but only when the path to the "XAUTHORITY" file is specified in UNIX-format.

My guess is: you didn't actually install a configuration file for these window managers. pwm, at the very least, will NOT run if it can't find a config file.

You can cook up your own recipe based on these few lines. Mind you, I'm not pretending that this method is in any way "cryptographically" secure as it simply computes an MD5 checksum based on the computer name and current date, as you can see. Another good source of info is your (Linux) system's "startx" shell script. Note, the following code assumes that the environment variables XAUTHORITY and DISPLAY are respectively set to "path to .Xauthority file" and ":0". # Generate X authorization (MIT-MAGIC-COOKIEs) data for the # local display to enable access via tcp on both the local # loopback i/f (127.0.0.1) and the network i/f, as well as # via UNIX-domain sockets. rm -f "$XAUTHORITY" "$XAUTHORITY-c" "$XAUTHORITY-l" mcookie=`echo "$COMPUTERNAME\`date\`" | md5sum | sed 's/[[:space:]].*//'` xauth -f "$XAUTHORITY" -v add "$DISPLAY" .

I've gotten all the Cygwin & XFree86 Components in place on my W2k box, and I can now run X apps remotely by following the procedure: - Start X Server on W2K - Add remote RedHat box to xhosts - Telnet to remote RedHat box - Configure DISPLAY to point at W2K box - Execute xterm & (for instance) That gets me a nice xterm running here on my W2K machine. However, what I'd really like to do is an XDMCP logon to the aforementioned RedHat box, so that I don't have to go through this procedure and I can get the full desktop on the Linux box. When I try the suggestion in the Cygwin/XFree86 user's guide, XWin.exe -query remote_hostname I just get the default X black-and-white checked background like it's waiting for the other machine to respond. I never get the logon screen from the RedHat box. I've also tried variations like using -from my_w2k_ip_address -display 800x600x16 all to no avail (same result). I believe that Xaccess and such are set up correctly on the RedHat machine as I haven't changed anything there since my eXceed worked ok. Can someone please give me a pointer or two?

It is a common trick to make the shell prompt or a cd alias include the escape sequence to put the current directory in the title. Perhaps this is the default for bash? I wouldn't think so, but this would happen after the title is initially set with -T or -title.

It has an X component as well as a curses-base component as well as a printer component and lastly a scripting component. It covers many areas as separate programs (which I was going to package separately). Robert did suggest 'Net', and I'll probably go with that for the non-X components.

Check this out: Quoted from the description of DeleteFile in the MDSN library: To delete or rename a file, you must have either delete permission on the file or delete child permission in the parent directory. If you set up a directory with all access except delete and delete child and the ACLs of new files are inherited, then you should be able to create a file without being able to delete it. However, you can then create a file, and you will get all the access you request on the handle returned to you at the time you create the file. If you requested delete permission at the time you created the file, you could delete or rename the file with that handle but not with any other. ACL of a mode 400 file from my home directory: C:\cygwin\home\paveltz\test.c MORDOR\paveltz:(accesso speciale:) READ_CONTROL WRITE_DAC WRITE_OWNER SYNCHRONIZE FILE_GENERIC_READ FILE_READ_DATA FILE_READ_EA FILE_WRITE_EA FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES FILE_WRITE_ATTRIBUTES MORDOR\Nessuno:(accesso speciale:) READ_CONTROL FILE_READ_EA FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES Everyone:(accesso speciale:) READ_CONTROL FILE_READ_EA FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES Obviously the DELETE permission is missing. You call SetFileAttributes with ~FILE_ATTRIBUTE_READONLY which shoul enable the file for reading but it does not - I suppose this is why: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/fileio/filesio_6c8i.asp Note that it is said: dwFileAttributes Specifies FAT-style attribute information for the file or directory. But if we're on NTFS there is no joy :( I've tried a simple test with SetFileAttributes and ~FILE_ATTRIBUTE_READONLY and it doesnt affect the file at all. Ok here is how to fix this issues I've just tried it on my XP Home and it worked fine.

I can't see I got any response so I try once more. May be I used the wrong address? Will try cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com this time. Hi! I have installed the latest Cygwin (setup say: setup-timestamp: 1020655814,setup-version: 2.194.2.26) and Cygwin xfree (4.2.0). I use xmodmap with the xmodmap.no found on http://www-usercgi.tu-chemnitz.de/~goal/index.php3?jump=xfree. Using this xmodmap the AltGr keys (which produce @??{[]}...) works fine in the local X bash shell. When running a remote xterm on a Solaris host the AltGr keys still works fine in xterm and in Emacs. When I start a Java (X) application (Gawors LDAP browser which can be found on http//www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/~gawor/ldap/index.html) on the Solaris host however AltGr no longer works inside the Java applications. I have tested the same application using XWin32 and have no problem with the AltGr key there. Local xev reports keycode 113 (keysym 0xff7e, Mode_swithc) when I press the AltGr key. I havn't found xev on the Solaris host so I don't know what that would report. How should I set up Cygwin xfree to handle AltGr also for Java applications?

Don't know of any. xmodmap and xkb only set the scancode translation table.

However, initially I ran into problems similar to what you describe. I attributed it to the fact that you can't count on the "sleep 2" command to be long enough for XWin to start. I then found that the xinit command has a way of determining that XWin is up and running before trying to launch any xclients. To use it, move most of the commands into the file ~/.xinitrc. For instance: xwinclip & python /home/geek/bin/workspace_indicator --size 200 & xv -root -maxpect -quit $HOME/images/gazebo.jpg xrdb -merge $HOME/.config/Xresources pwm Note that I left out the stuff that sets the DISPLAY to :0, xinit takes care of that for you. Also note how I moved "pwm" to the end and left it in the foreground, as per the recommendations in the xinit documentation. To run it, use this command-line: xinit -- -fullscreen -once -terminate -nowinkill -unixkill \ -auth $HOME/.Xauthority Hope this helps. >From: "Brian Gallew" >To: >Subject: XWin doesn't always start "right"' >Date: Thu, 16 May 2002 07:24:07 -0400 (EDT) > >I'm running cygiwn/xfree on a ThinkPad under XP.

It takes possibly many hours (especially for first timers) and there is a lot that can go wrong. With that in mind, I'll point you to two of the three steps for building the packages, and I'll post the packaging script tonight when I am on the machine that has it. I had posted the script before but the machine it was on is no longer accessible, so I'll have to put it somewhere else. Be aware that you can start the first two steps and by the time that I post the packaging script in about 8 hours you still won't have built XFree86... 1) Follow the instructions in the Cygwin/XFree86 Contributor's Guide for downloading the source for XFree86 and building it. You'll want to grab the `xf-4_2-branch' of the source code. I think you would do that with: cvs checkout -r xf-4_2-branch xc Notice that some of the patches to the latest Xxserv package were not applied to the xf-4_2-branch (I don't think Alan keeps an xf-4_2-branch tree around) so you'll need to grab the default branch and copy the files from xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xwin/ into your 4_2 tree. The relevant steps in the Contributor's Guide are here: http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/cg/prog-build-native.html 2) After building XFree86 you'll need to create the XFree86 packages, which is very difficult. I've attempted to create a Cygwin-specific version of the instructions for this at: http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/cg/prog-distribution.html 3) Now you need to convert the XFree86 packages into Cygwin packages. This is done with the build.sh script that Ian Burrell wrote and I modified. I'll post this later tonight, but the basic idea is that you copy the XFree86 packages into a directory with build.sh, then run the script. It takes about 5 to 10 minutes on my 1200 Athlon with a pretty quick hard drive, so I wouldn't be surprised if it took up to an hour on older hardware. You'd better be really sure that you actually want to do this before you put any time into it. There is a reason that XFree86 was not installable via Cygwin's setup.exe for almost a year after we started using the XFree86 packaging script. Good luck, Harold Nicholas Wourms said: > Harold, > > How do you build the packages for use with setup.exe? Do you use a script > or do you do it by hand?

Given that, I was attempting to follow the directions on in the contributor's guide regarding building Xfree. Unfortunately matters have been complicated twofold, as I am quite dissappointed with the performance of compilation on my windows machine. Therefore I was setting up a cross-compile environment on my suse 7.3 linux box per your directions. This is where I want to ask a question: Is there anything different which must be done now to crosscompile that wasn't included in your directions or has changed since you wrote them? I will follow the steps below and see if my result is different, but for some reason when I followed your directions (before you sent this mail) in the howto and double checked my process, the make process bombs out on imake.c, complaining about a "imake.c:395: parse error before `1'". From what I see crosscompiling needs different defines? I'm not sure...despite that my will is strong and my desire to recompile is kindled by the desire to help in testing kde.

I haven't done a cross compile in a couple of months now. I just deleted by Cygwin cross compiler off of my Linux machine, so I'd have to spend a bit of time to do a test cross compile right now. I'm a little strapped for time right now and we're going out of town for the weekend, so it'll have to wait until next month sometime. On the other hand, I do recall that if you do not pass the flags *exactly* as documented the build process will usually bomb at imake. You should be using the command like so (all on one line, but I wrapped it for readability): [harold@MyCrossHost std]$ make World BOOTSTRAPCFLAGS="-D__CYGWIN__ -Ulinux -DCrossCompiling=1" IMAKE_DEFINES="-D__CYGWIN__ -Ulinux" > World.log 2>&1 Good luck, Harold > -----Original Message----- > From: Nicholas Wourms [mailto:nwourms@yahoo.com] > Sent: Thursday, May 16, 2002 12:09 PM > To: Harold L Hunt > Subject: Re: building xwin packages > > > Harold, > > I am quite aware of the the trias involved with building Xfree (I just > went trough it a few months ago on OSX ;)).

Music Experience > http://launch.yahoo.com From cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com Thu May 16 18:39:00 2002 From: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com (Harold Hunt) Date: Thu, 16 May 2002 18:39:00 -0000 Subject: building xwin packages In-Reply-To: <20020517000844.51651.qmail@web21001.mail.yahoo.com> Message-ID: I managed to do a test cross compile for you. Everything went as planned. No build problems. I think that the crucial step you may have missed is to set the path to the Cygwin binutils and gcc executables: PATH=$PATH:/cygwin/bin:/cygwin/i686-pc-cygwin/bin I made a few updates to the Contributor's Guide. I removed a step that was irrelevant and updated the version of the binutils package. I also corrected the download directory for binutils and gcc. http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/cg/prog-build-cross.html So, make sure that you set the PATH correctly and try building again. Note that the host.def that I link to (which is required) does NOT build fonts by default. You will need to edit host.def and flip the NO flag for building the fonts to YES.

I am not able to get the french keyboard at login, but just after, the xmodmap locally runned (in the local script, not on the remote server) is perfectly running and I get the french keyboard. So it is a part of the answear (since I prefer to get all the specific configuration part on my PC, not on the many server I must access). The only point is that "-ac" enables anyone to get access to my X client (like xhost +). But not too bad anyway. If someone find how to finaly get the french KB at logon time, and it is perfect for me. By the way, thank you all for your helps!!! Great job!

I haven't done a cross compile in a couple of months now. I just deleted by Cygwin cross compiler off of my Linux machine, so I'd have to spend a bit of time to do a test cross compile right now. I'm a little strapped for time right now and we're going out of town for the weekend, so it'll have to wait until next month sometime. On the other hand, I do recall that if you do not pass the flags *exactly* as documented the build process will usually bomb at imake. You should be using the command like so (all on one line, but I wrapped it for readability): [harold@MyCrossHost std]$ make World BOOTSTRAPCFLAGS="-D__CYGWIN__ -Ulinux -DCrossCompiling=1" IMAKE_DEFINES="-D__CYGWIN__ -Ulinux" > World.log 2>&1 Good luck, Harold > -----Original Message----- > From: Nicholas Wourms [mailto:nwourms@yahoo.com] > Sent: Thursday, May 16, 2002 12:09 PM > To: Harold L Hunt > Subject: Re: building xwin packages > > > Harold, > > I am quite aware of the the trias involved with building Xfree (I just > went trough it a few months ago on OSX ;)).

During the installation of kdebase, I will get about half way through, and then get booged down in a series of error messages that read: warning: deleting d:\cygwin/opt/kde2/share/doc/HTML/en/kdeprint/cupsserverconfig_serverencryptionconfig_servercertificate_blurb.png" so I can make a directory there. After hitting OK, I get another one that reads: warning: moving directory "/opt/kde2/share/doc/HTML/en/kdeprint/cupsserverconfig_serverencryptionconfig_servercertificate_blurb.png" out of the way. At least for 2.2.1, installing manually by extracting the archive on the command line works. And, sure enough, I have multiple copies of a directory with that name. Will proceed with manual installation for 2.2.2. -- ****************************************************************************** Jonathan Fosburgh |Certified AIX Administrator Software Systems Spec.

I didn't do a test build with the default FS (I'm at a loss for the name right now) but I think it would be slower than Reiser. Anyway, build times for XFree86 depend on a lot of things and it is not unusual for it to take over an hour.

The only solution that I found in the archives was to avoid Logitech's drivers. This is not necessary. It seems that the middle mouse button can easily be enabled by a simple setting in the "Mouse properties" control panel. In the tab entitled "Buttons", each of the three buttons can be assigned a wide variety of actions. The default assignment of the middle button causes it not to work in XFree86. I use the following assignment to make the buttons work "normally": Button 1 (left): "Click/Select" Button 2 (middle): "Middle Button" Button 3 (right): "Context Menu/Alternate Select" (yes they number their buttons strangely - the tab has a nice picture to illustrate their numbering of buttons) Hope this helps anyone trying to get their 3-button/scroll logitech mouse to work with a middle button.

I have an application which opens the terminal as file and writes and read to the terminal. The source code is in Fortran which opens the file with name specified as value returned by utility 'tty' i.e is terminal name. For this very reason I download the cygwin for internet. The problem, I am now facing is that if I compile and build the executable with the 'g77' compiler supplied with cygwin, the application works i.e. the application opens the terminal as file and reads and writes to the terminal. But if I compile and build the application using 'Compaq Visual Fortran Optimizing Compiler Version 6.1', the application does not write and read to terminal, instead it writes and tries to read from a file '/dev/conin'. The is beacuse 'tty' utility of cygwin returns this value and therefore application opens a file named as 'conin' under the 'dev' folder of current working drive. This is not the case if the application is built using the 'g77' compiler available with cygwin. Kindly, let as know how can we work out a solution for this as we have to build the application using the 'Compaq Visual Fortran Optimizing Compiler Version 6.1' which is available with Visual Studio from Microsoft.

Google came up with a number of solutions for Linux/XFree86, but all required new drivers. Perhaps I need a Windows driver that makes it look more like a wheel mouse? The latest driver from IBM doesn't help (I'm not sure how it scrolls, though--it can scroll on both axes). I think the driver at http://rsim.cs.uiuc.edu/~sachs/tp-scroll/ does what I want (allowing the scroll button to double as a middle button), but again that's for Linux. I could live with using -emulate3buttons and just using the scroll button for scrolling. For now, I turn the scroll button into a middle button.

In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Jerry, In this case you're going to have to do some investigation to find out how the Trackpoint driver emulates a mouse wheel. It is obviously not sending the WM_MOUSEWHEEL message (like the Intellipoint and Logitech drivers) or else we'd catch them and handle the wheel functionality correctly. I hope that the Trackpoint driver doesn't do some chintzy mechanism of finding the scrollbar attached to the window with the keyboard focus and sending messages directly to that scrollbar (I'm pretty sure that this is the way that initial mouse wheel support worked in a lot of drivers). In that case we won't really be able to do anything, since we don't have a scrollbar of our own. Then again... maybe we could add an invisible scrollbar that would catch all such messages and generate X messages for them... that may not be too hard. In any case, report the findings of your investigation to the mailing list and we'll see what we can do.

I found out that there is a special configuration file for the trackpoint driver. It's in /WINNT/System32/tp4table.dat in my case, although it looks like in the beta driver they've renamed it to tp4scrol.dat. The beta driver's at http://wwwcssrv.almaden.ibm.com/trackpoint (thanks to Scott Brim for the reference), although I was able to make my current driver work. I simply added the following to the end of the "Pass 0 rules" in that configuration file and rebooted: ; X Windows *,*,XWin.exe,*,*,cygwin/xfree86,WheelStd,0,9 That tells the driver to use Wheel messages as opposed to whatever it normally does. Since the driver is capable of scrolling in both directions, it probably does look for the scrollbars by default. I was guessing a bit about what to put in this entry, although that one seems to work.

I am, however, having no luck starting XFree86. (I'm running cygwin on an IBM Thinkpad with Win2000.) When I run startxwin.bat, it notices that I'm running Windows 2000, but then a Windows pop up window appears saying that XWin.exe - Application Error The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142). Click on OK to terminate the application. I'm not sure what this pop-up messsage mean, of if anyone else have had this problem before. I'm thinking that this may be a problem with Windows instead of with XFree86, but any sort of help would be appreciated. Thanks very much.

With these patches I can start the User Interface (ui) but as I don't have inetd running I can't rsh from localhost to localhost to start the server. I can work around this by (http://www.opendx.org/started.html) dx -uionly & dx -execonly& to start the ui and server seperately. Then I try to connect to the ui to the server - select "Connection - start server" from ui menu - select "options" and connect to existing server and then connect The server sees this and responds with "server: accepted connection from client" then fails with "ExHostToFQDN failed" Looks like some sort of DNS lookup error or similar, so it may be specific to my configuration. I saw that the version Suhaib distributed had its own private rsh.exe. It may have avoided the rsh problems above by avoiding all the network stuff. -----Original Message----- From: Harold Hunt [mailto:huntharo@msu.edu] Sent: Friday, 24 May 2002 2:42 To: Billinghurst, David (CRTS) Subject: RE: New package for testing: OpenDX Okay, I'll hold off.

The reasoning behind this is to allow package vendors to affect environmental variables without having to actually patch the current /etc/profile. The syntax is, therefore, exactly the same as you'd expect from a .profile file. All one does is make new files /etc/profile.d/foo.sh (for bash and sh shells) and /etc/profile.d/foo.csh (for tcsh and csh shells) containing the environmentals one wnat to set. Take, for example, gnome.sh on SuSE Linux: # # /etc/profile.d/gnome.sh # # send feedback to feedback@suse.de # # Expanding PATH # export PATH=$PATH:/opt/gnome/bin # # While compiling GNOME programs, we also look into # /usr for libs, includes, etc.: # export GNOME_PATH=$GNOME_PATH:/opt/gnome:/usr # # Setting GNOMEDIR # export GNOMEDIR=/opt/gnome As you can see, all the necessary environmentals for gnome are conviently located in this file. If the user uninstalls gnome the variables go away. By allowing the modularity in configuration, one saves the headaches of dealing with post(un)install setup of new packages. Now, seeing as how I just wanted to see what OpenDX was, I'm not the expert on it. So, I don't think I'm the best person to "ask" what environmentals need to be setup. FWIW, I think it might be advisable to include a similar script with the Xfree packages to make sure the user's environmentals are setup so that they can use startx, etc... I hope this helps :).

In particular, * Cygwin is a UNIX environment, developed by Red Hat, for Windows. It consists of two parts: A DLL (cygwin1.dll) which acts as a UNIX emulation layer providing substantial UNIX API functionality. * A collection of tools, ported from UNIX, which provide UNIX/Linux look and feel. It sounds to me that the program was written for Unix, and *needs* the cygwin1.dll to work unmodified on Windows. If you want it to work with MS Visual Studio, you will need to a) modify the code b) SEEK HELP SOMEWHERE ELSE, since this list is for discussion out the port of XFree86 to MS Windows using Cygwin.

The reasoning behind this is to allow package vendors to affect environmental variables without having to actually patch the current /etc/profile. The syntax is, therefore, exactly the same as you'd expect from a .profile file. All one does is make new files /etc/profile.d/foo.sh (for bash and sh shells) and /etc/profile.d/foo.csh (for tcsh and csh shells) containing the environmentals one wnat to set. Take, for example, gnome.sh on SuSE Linux: # # /etc/profile.d/gnome.sh # # send feedback to feedback@suse.de # # Expanding PATH # export PATH=$PATH:/opt/gnome/bin # # While compiling GNOME programs, we also look into # /usr for libs, includes, etc.: # export GNOME_PATH=$GNOME_PATH:/opt/gnome:/usr # # Setting GNOMEDIR # export GNOMEDIR=/opt/gnome As you can see, all the necessary environmentals for gnome are conviently located in this file. If the user uninstalls gnome the variables go away. By allowing the modularity in configuration, one saves the headaches of dealing with post(un)install setup of new packages. Now, seeing as how I just wanted to see what OpenDX was, I'm not the expert on it. So, I don't think I'm the best person to "ask" what environmentals need to be setup. FWIW, I think it might be advisable to include a similar script with the Xfree packages to make sure the user's environmentals are setup so that they can use startx, etc... I hope this helps :).

You can copy rsh.exe from older version. I found that rsh.exe somewhere on internet. OpenDX does not make use of inetd. It does use DNS lookup either. Are you trying to use UI from local client and DX server from a remote machine? I believe it is dxworker issue. Can you not download one of the older version I patched and use dx and dxowrker scripts from it. It might help you. The older versions should still be available from http://opendx.npaci.edu/bin Good luck Suhaib -----Original Message----- From: cygwin-xfree-owner@cygwin.com [mailto:cygwin-xfree-owner@cygwin.com] On Behalf Of Billinghurst, David (CRTS) Sent: Thursday, May 23, 2002 9:57 PM To: Harold Hunt Cc: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com Subject: RE: New package for testing: OpenDX OK. With these patches I can start the User Interface (ui) but as I don't have inetd running I can't rsh from localhost to localhost to start the server. I can work around this by (http://www.opendx.org/started.html) dx -uionly & dx -execonly& to start the ui and server seperately. Then I try to connect to the ui to the server select "Connection - start server" from ui menu select "options" and connect to existing server and then connect The server sees this and responds with "server: accepted connection from client" then fails with "ExHostToFQDN failed" Looks like some sort of DNS lookup error or similar, so it may be specific to my configuration. I saw that the version Suhaib distributed had its own private rsh.exe. It may have avoided the rsh problems above by avoiding all the network stuff.

Simply because you are buying and selling something of value. AS SEEN ON NATIONAL TV: Making over half million dollars every 4 to 5 months from your home. THANKS TO THE COMPUTER AGE AND THE INTERNET ! ================================================== BE AN INTERNET MILLIONAIRE LIKE OTHERS WITHIN A YEAR!!! Before you say ''Bull'', please read 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 instruction" 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 a total $ 610,470.00 in 21 weeks, with money still coming in''. Pam Hedland, Fort Lee, New Jersey. ================================================== Another said: "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 Wa-laa ..... 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 ==== $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ If you would like to make at least $500,000 every 4 to 5 months easily and comfortably, please read the following...THEN READ IT AGAIN and AGAIN !!! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ FOLLOW THE SIMPLE INSTRUCTION BELOW AND YOUR FINANCIAL DREAMS WILL COME TRUE, GUARANTEED!

DO NOT MAKE ANY OTHER CHANGES. **** Save this on a disk as well just in case if you loose any data. To assist you with marketing your business on the internet, the 5 reports you purchase will provide you with invaluable marketing information which includes how to send bulk e-mails legally, where to find thousands of free classified ads and much more. There are 2 Primary methods to get this venture going: METHOD # 1: BY SENDING BULK E-MAIL LEGALLY ================================================== Let's say that you decide to start small, just to see how it goes, and we will assume You and those involved send out only 5,000 e-mails each. Let's also assume that the mailing receive only a 0.2% (2/10 of 1%) 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 5,000 e-mail each for a total of 5 million e-mail sent out. The 0.2% response 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 a million dollars). 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 STILL 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 100,000 e-mails each or more? There are over 250 million people on the Internet worldwide and counting, with thousands more coming on line every day. Believe me, many people will do just that, and more! METHOD # 2: BY PLACING FREE ADS ON THE INTERNET ================================================== Advertising on the net is very, very inexpensive and there are hundreds of FREE places to advertise. Placing a lot of free ads on the Internet will easily get a larger response. We strongly suggest you start with Method # 1 and add METHOD #2 as you go along. For every $5 you 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 can not advertise until they receive the report. ===========AVAILABLE REPORTS ==================== The reason for the cash is not because this is illegal or somehow "wrong". It is simply about time. Time for checks or credit cards to be cleared or approved, etc. Concealing it is simply so no one can SEE there is money in the envelope and steal it before it gets to you. ORDER EACH REPORT BY ITS NUMBER & NAME ONLY. Notes: Always send $5 cash (U.S. CURRENCY) for each Report. Checks NOT accepted. Make sure the cash is concealed by wrapping it in at least 2 sheets of paper. On one of those sheets of paper, Write the NUMBER & the NAME of the Report you are ordering, YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS and your name and postal address. SO PLACE YOUR ORDER FOR THESE REPORTS NOW : ================================================== REPORT #1 "The Insider's Guide to Advertising for Free on the Net" ORDER REPORT #1 FROM: Nice 14605 N. Airport Road Ste 312 Scottsdale, AZ 85260 _________________________________________________ REPORT #2 "The Insider's Guide to Sending Bulk E-mail on the Net" ORDER REPORT #2 FROM: Cook 136 Flora Ave. Atlanta, GA 30307 USA ___________________________________________________ REPORT #3 "The Secrets to Multilevel Marketing on the Internet" ORDER REPORT #3 FROM: Jack Wang 2623, South Quarry Lane #B Diamond Bar, CA 91789 ____________________________________________________ REPORT #4 "How to become a Millionaire utilizing the Power of Multilevel Marketing and the Internet" ORDER REPORT #4 FROM: Kim 5300 Beach Blvd., Suite 110-303 Buena Park, CA 90621 USA _____________________________________________________ REPORT #5 "How to SEND 1,000,000 e-mails for FREE" ORDER REPORT #5 FROM: Cathy Hartig 2959 Sorenson Dr Green Bay WI 54313 _______________________________________________ There are currently a billion (1,000,000,000) people online worldwide! $$$$$$$$$ YOUR SUCCESS GUIDELINES $$$$$$$$$$$ You absolutely must 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. You can KEEP TRACK of your PROGRESS by watching which report people are ordering from you. IF YOU WANT TO GENERATE MORE INCOME SEND ANOTHER BATCH OF E-MAILS AND START THE WHOLE PROCESS AGAIN. There is NO LIMIT to the income you can generate from this business !!! ================================================= FOLLOWING IS A NOTE FROM THE ORIGINATOR OF THIS PROGRAM: You have just received information that can give you 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 as 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.

Hmmm...you might want to wait until Harold finishes the various little graphics libraries. I *think* he is working on libiconv, libungif, glib, gtk, and pango. It certainly would make ImageMagick more robust... Also, since Unisys' patent on lzw will be expiring soon, I'd reccommend compiling with the --enable-lzw flag (and who really cares about them anyways). Just my input on the subject...

I can't get kde running. So here is the storry: Well, this is how I installed the stuff: Setting: No cygwinstuff installed (deleted the cygwin dir) - downloaded the cygwin-installer - added the new mirror like told on the kde-page - selected that kde-mirror and another cygwinmirror - selected the kdebase package in the 2.2.2 tree - selected additionaly ssh, bzip2 & jpeg - -> downloading and installing While installing there occured some errors having to do with kde-docs (they where reported in the mail "Re: KDE 2.2.2 beta 1 released" form Jonathan Fosburgh on 05.17.2002) so I just ignored them. Installation done. Then I added the following lines to /etc/profile: export PATH=/usr/X11R6/bin:$PATH export PATH=/usr/local/lib/qt2/bin:$PATH . /opt/kde2/bin/kde_setenv (why can't the installer do this?) and executed ". profile". Then created the files .xserverrc .xinitrc in my /home/Administrator home-dir. Then did the rebind stuff for *.dll and *.exe (the page said to rebind *.dll twice?! guess that the second *.dll actualy had to be *.exe) Then executed "start &". An xwindow came up and switched backroundcolor. Then the error occured on my console: [: ==: unknown operand Shortly after that I got a windows-dialogue-box with the msg: Title "ksplash.exe -Einstiegspunkt nicht gefunden" (translated(?) " ... - Entrypoint not found" Der Prozedureinstiegspunkt "XShmAttach" wurde in der DLL "libXext.dll" nicht gefunden. (translated(?): The prozessentrypoint ... could not be found int the DLL ...)

Hmmm...you might want to wait until Harold finishes the various little graphics libraries. I *think* he is working on libiconv, libungif, glib, gtk, and pango. It certainly would make ImageMagick more robust... Also, since Unisys' patent on lzw will be expiring soon, I'd reccommend compiling with the --enable-lzw flag (and who really cares about them anyways). Just my input on the subject...

For testing you could try to type "xhost + " on your windows machine (local xterm). Later you should either use Xauth or xhost with the machine you wish to allow.

There has been some discussion of this in the past, but it always ends in not wanting it because they say so. One might say why not /usr/X11R6/{qt2|qt3|kde2|kde3}? To that I say bah! The way it is supposed to be is /opt is for large or excessively significant addons to the system. This way one avoids cluttering up the X11R6 directory. Most distros use /opt for kde and Ralph currently uses it. Is there really a good reason why cygwin shouldn't use /opt for kde (possible gnome as well)? Feel free to disagree...

We had this on unixes. libXft.so.2.0 libXft.so.1.0 On Windows... libXft.dll (libXft.a) (bang)... We build Xft (v2) first, then Xft1 came along and blew libXft.dll away with v1 of the library.. I suspect the usage of the Xft1 (v1) library is pretty minimal on Windows so we won't be impacted. But it might be worth thinking of a solution here, we may have to call it libXft2.dll for our purposes and hack around with the .cf and Imakefiles. We could use the SOREV stuff here. Takers ? Alan.

You are right, of course, I had lost my mind and thought it ran out in 2002. Oh well, personally I don't care b/c I think Unisys is exploiting the patent unfairly, but oh well. By the way, did you enable threading or not?

They mean the bug with the GNU long name extension, which results in failed kdebase installation, we have spoken about and for which I have submitted a patch. Do you have applied this patch into cvs ? Regards Ralf From nwourms@yahoo.com Wed May 29 03:42:00 2002 From: nwourms@yahoo.com (Nicholas Wourms) Date: Wed, 29 May 2002 03:42:00 -0000 Subject: KDE 2.2.2 beta1 released In-Reply-To: <001f01c206f2$2dadc390$0200a8c0@lifelesswks> Message-ID: <20020529103021.71115.qmail@web21001.mail.yahoo.com> Robert, The same report as before. When it gets to the kdehelp file with a filename of ~83 characters, it goes into an infinite loop saying it has to move the file to make the directory. Didn't ralf submit a patch for this? I haven't seen it show up on the cygwin-apps-cvs mailing list... I'm on windows ME, so it is possible this is a Windows ME gotcha, I encourage you tho whip up a virtualpc session and see for yourself if you can. If not, I'll try my best to help, but C (not OOP C++) is the extent of my knowledge... Cheers, Nicholas P.S. - A suggestion I have for furture implementations would to have a "simulated" setup mode for debugging purposes. this way one can test install without actually installing (useful in my case as I have already custom compiled my kde2 packages). --- Robert Collins wrote: > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: cygwin-xfree-owner@cygwin.com > > [mailto:cygwin-xfree-owner@cygwin.com] On Behalf Of Stephan H.

The reason is, that for tar file name length over 100 characters the GNU long name extension is used, but unfortunally the setup.exe'S implementation contains a bug in this case.

It seems that xinit goes into a timeout while waiting for the X process, because the delay does not depend on how long the xserver needs (I recognized this on a very fast machine, on which the xserver only needs 1/2 second to start). xinit waits then 5 seconds before starting the .xinitrc script. I remember on the first days on kde2 we have a similar problem with kdeinit, which was solved by Chris January. Because currently I have no idea, whats going on, is there anyone who can give a hints for this ?

There was no circular dependency for glib-1.2.10. In fact when I ported it I had never heard of pkg-config. Anyway, I have built pkgconfig-0.12.0, with your patch, and gnome-vfs configure works fine with it. So if/when it is adopted as the "official" cygwin version I will remove pkg-config from my website.

Message-ID: <002501c1f0f8$0e68f640$0500a8c0@athlon> I'm currently facing the following Problem (which I've read questions about in this mailing list, but no answers): When I start XWin with startxwin.bat, startxwin.sh or with console always the same thing happens: For every xterm (which I started through the script) and for the Windowmanager (I tryed twm as well as icewm) a DOS Box opens. Then a window for XWin opens (I'll call it the white window from now on, but all that shows up in this one is a big white screen and on the upper left corner there seems to be the windowmanager with the xterms but its just way to small (about 80x100 pixel) to recognise it. When I close the xterm DOS boxes the black box on the upper left corner dissapears. The curser dissappers when I move it into the 'white window' but when I click into the left upper corner there seems to open a dialog window which starts to a appear the way I move the invisible mouse pointer over it. That's it for the problem description here's what my computer's like: I'm running Win98SE with DirectX Version 4.08.00.400 installed.

So you can use this to provide the fonts and probably avoid a crash. assuming the x font server is only available locally, you'll need to change it to use the network. below is a link detailing how to do this on linux mandrake. http://www.jeremywilkins.freeserve.co.uk/extend/remoteFontServer.html You then need to tell Xwin to use that font server, by adding "-fp tcp/:7100" without the quotes to the command line, eg.

I did some tests on a Gnu/Linux (Redhat 7.0): 1/ put mouse cursor on a shell window and press "F1": a) Cygwin/XFree Nothing, to iconify a window you must: - put the mouse cursor on the root window - press "F1" - clic on the title window b) Gnu/Linux/XFree The window is iconified with one click, on the title of the window or on the body of the window. 2/ put mouse cursor on the emacs window and press "F1": a) Cygwin/XFree Emacs calls the help menu of emacs b) Gnu/Linux/XFree The emacs window is iconified. ====> my conclusion: Cygwin/XFree doesn't give the "F1" event to the window manager.

I want to know how I should handle switching over to the Setup.exe-based installation of XFree86/Cygwin. Should I just download the packages and install "over" the existing XFree86/Cygwin installation? (I always download binary & source packages and then separately install only the binaries, keeping the sources in tarball form until I should happen to need them). If it matters, I've installed a couple of separate XFree86 software packages (XFig and the NCAR Graphics and NCL systems). The NCAR software installation isn't trivial, so if I could avoid having to redo it, that would be preferable. Thanks.

Test44 is waaaay older than the 4.2.0 release. Please revert to the previous executable. The 4.2.0 server is producing the same behavior, but the error messages are redirected to /tmp/XWin.log. Have a look there and you will see the same error message of "could not open default font 'fixed'". The answer for that error is at: http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-xfree-faq.html#q-error-font-eof However, you'll probably be better off to delete /usr/X11R6 and /etc/X11 and reinstall using Cygwin's setup.exe. Just go into setup.exe, expand the XFree86 category and choose the XFree86-base package.

Yes. And I had implemented similar code. (Including the SetFileAttributes call). I'm not sure why it is still failing to do what it should.

We could use a good tool for writing these X keymap files (I'm talking about xkb support, not xmodmap), but I think this is not the way to go with a word processor. I often have multilingual text, and If I'm in a, say, Russian part of my file, I want the keyboard to behave differently than in a, say, Esperanto or German or Czech part. In MS Word (which I have to use for a certain project, otherwise I'm fine with emacs and LaTeX), I can map key sequences to characters, a feature I really like and which would solve these problems for most of us. Missing it keeps me from using Oo for that MS Word project and other things apart from playing around with it. It could be done nicer than in Word, of course, so that certain mappings would only be valid for certain languages. For me, that autocorrect function would already be sufficient if it could be told to immediately replace in the middle of words as well, so I could simply say 'c -> cacute and untick a 'whole word only' checkbox. There would be several projects I'd use Oof for immediately. But I don't know where I should post this and I don't have the time to dig into the sources of Oo myself.

BTW, has anybody tried to run kde-cygwin using the new cygwin-daemon to provide the IPC services? Currently, the cygwin daemon implements some subset of the three main IPC mechanisms (semaphores, messages. shared memory) -- but I don't remember if shm was part of that subset... Anyway, even if the cygwin-daemon DOES provide the necessary IPC features, you'd probably need to recompile kde-cygwin against it instead of CygIPC. --Chuck the cygwin-daemon code was recently merged into CVS; the snapshots have the functionality but the daemon itself is not "turned on" by default. Just like ipcdaemon.exe, you have to start up the cygwin-daemon yourself. For more info, see the cygwin-developers mailing list archives.

SULEIMON TAFIDA NIGERIA NATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION FEDERAL SECRETARIAT,FALOMO- LAGOS, NIGERIA. TELEPHONE: 234-1-775-0572 Dear Sir, First, I must solicit your trust and strictest confidence in this transaction, this is by virtue of it's nature as been utterly confidential and top secret. You were introduced to us by a mutual acquaintance from the Nigerian Chamber of Commerce, Foreign Trade Division. He does not know of the nature of what I am about to introduce to you. He only knows that I have some funds to invest abroad, hence he recommended you. I am the Director of Engineering & Project of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (N.N.P.C) in Lagos, Nigeria. I am seeking your assistance to enable me transfer the sum of US$36,400,000.00 into your private or company account for mutual benefits. This money came about as a result of a contract for the supply of two thousand, three hundred and sixty-seven computer unit, installation and the Y2K compliance turn-around maintenance executed on behalf of my Ministry(N.N.P.C), in the year 1999. This contract was officially assigned to be awarded and executed by two foreign contractors at the tune of US $116,500,000.00, but in the course of my negotiation, I bargained with only one foreign contractor, a Bulgarian firm which now executed the contract at the cost ofUS $80,100.000.00. Thus leaving the remaining US$36.4million floating in the escrow account of the Central Bank of Nigeria(C.B.N) to the benefits of we the three members of the contract award panel unknown to the contractor and any other person in my Ministry. This contract has been satisfactorily executed, inspected and commissioned, and the Bulgarian firm is presently securing his payment from my Ministry. It is however to this effect that I seek your maximum assistance and approval to present your company name alongside with the Bulgarian contractor as the second foreign contractor to enable me transfer the difference (US$36.4M) into your account for further investment depending on your advice. On actualization of the transaction ,the funds will be shared thus: 1. 20% of the money go to you for acting as the beneficiary of the funds. 2. 10% for incidental expenses that may be incurred ie insurance, phone bills, documentation etc. 3. 70% to we three members of the Contract Award Panel. All logistics are in place and all modalities worked out for the smooth actualization of the transaction within fourteen working days of commencement after receipt of the following information by fax: Your company's Name. Address. Phone/Fax number and activities. Also, if we opt for electronic transfer only other than payment by solar bank draft or cash call program, then your bank account particulars. The above information will enable me make the payment application and lodge claims to the concerned Ministries in favor of your company or name and it is pertinent to state here that this deal is entirely based on trust and the fear of God. If you are able to handle it, feel free to reach me on phone number via my Telephone:231-1-775-0572 which is my confidential line. Also furnish me with your own phone and fax numbers as I will be sending you all necessary registration documents immediately I receive your positive response. Thanks in anticipation for your positive response. yours faithfully.

No, we haven't yet. I have already thought about using the cygwin daemon, but currently there are some reason why this isnt't happened. The first reason is, I don't know how stable and performant the cygwin ipc stuff works. I have thought about checking this, but found no time to do so. Perhaps I found some time after the kde 2.2.2 b1 release day next week. The second reason is, that it does not make sense to compile kde-cygwin with the cygwin daemon and use cygipc for xfree. The consequence of this seems to me to compile xfree with cygwin daemon too, but I does not have the knowledge and time to do this job. (I don't like to say that the xfree guys has to do so, only that I can't) > subset of the three main IPC mechanisms (semaphores, messages. shared > memory) -- but I don't remember if shm was part of that subset...

To devote more to Cygwin, I'd need to allocate consulting time from my employer, and my employer will want money to do that. I will eventually get it done on my own time however. > > As for it being turned on, you need to patch newlib (for > the new key_t > > definition) > > Could this perhaps not be patched in the cvs or are there > compatibility issues against it ? The definition of key_t in newlib is a 32bit int, for cygdaemon it needs to be 64 bit to store the inode and the index cleanly. Redefining that will break every cygipc linked application when they are rebuilt, until cygipc is rebuilt against the new source. However rebuilding cygipc will break every already linked app. So until the cygdaemon shm code is complete, Chuck and I figured that it was not worth putting everyone through the agony of a backwards incompatible ABI change. > > and cygwin (to export the functions) > > all shm* symbols ?

I have found my misunderstanding. I have started the "startx" instead of "startxwin.sh ". The "startx" (I am not in linux) is pointing to the not existing "xinitrc" file. Therefore the windows manager "twm" was newer started. However if I remember corect the "startx" has been worked in previous releases of the XFree86 on Cygwin... I am using the 4.2.0.x. Thanks to all. ;-) Viliam Batka From huntharo@msu.edu Sun May 5 20:42:00 2002 From: huntharo@msu.edu (Harold Hunt) Date: Sun, 05 May 2002 20:42:00 -0000 Subject: startup of XFree86 with not movable windown In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Viliam, > I have found my misunderstanding. > I have started the "startx" instead of "startxwin.sh ". > The "startx" (I am not in linux) is pointing to the not existing "xinitrc" > file. > Therefore the windows manager "twm" was newer started. Okay, I added a post-install script to the XFree86-lib package. Look for XFree86-lib-4.2.0-3 to appear on mirrors within 12 to 24 hours. Install this package with Cygwin's setup.exe.

Your problem is that the xinit command (located in /usr/X11R6/bin) cannot be found. This executable should be installed by default, but the PATH statement in Cygwin is not updated to cause /usr/X11R6/bin to be an executable search path. Thus, if you open a Cygwin shell and cd to /usr/X11R6/bin and try to run 'xinit' it won't work; however, running './xinit' will work. But I'm getting a different problem when I change startx to use ./xinit: MZ???????,@??????': not found ?????': not found 1??: not found ??p{??: not found server: not found ped: not found X: 6: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")") giving up.

I have done following things in current release (4.2.0-2) and it is working fine for me. 1) changed the PATH in my ".profile" file, located in my home directory: export PATH=/usr/X11R6/bin:$PATH startx & 2) changed the one line in "startx" script like this sysclientrc=/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc 3) add in my home directory ".xserverrc" file with following line. (this was actually not required in order to run the "startx" in full screen mode) X -screen 0 1024x768x16 -engine 4 -ac -nowinkill -noreset -emulate3buttons 100 After that all what I needed was to start an cygwin shortcut on desktop of my PC and the XFree86 has been started automatically (because of ".profile"). Than I realised that I can start the XFree86 more times. Is there any danger when I have more than one Xfree86 on my desktop? Once there will be the new package available I will try it and I let you know.

At the moment key_t's are generated locally without the cygserver. This means that in theory a cygipc linked app will still work with the new key_t code after recompiling (I think we do need to remove ftok from cygipc at that point though). If we have a list of key_t's, then it must be global, so cygserver will have to be running. I think that that is bad. Also at the moment, we know that the same file will generate the same key_t every time. (because it's inode based). If we walk a list, then we'll have to walk the entire list *and store the file name the key was generated from* to see if it's been handed out already. Lastly we don't have an existing list of key_t's, that was a list of shm areas you are referring to, and they can share the key_t values. (the shmid is the index in that list). In short, I don't like the idea of making key_t 32 bits.

Do the cygserver patches to CVS cygwin1.dll add that function to the kernel? > Also at the moment, we know that the same file will generate the same > key_t every time. (because it's inode based). Ah, a quick 'cvs update' and I see the answer to my question is yes. So, I can't really remove ftok() from cygipc until after cygwin-1.3.11 is released... > In short, I don't like the idea of making key_t 32 bits.

I have a workarround - I run xmodmap on AIX machine everytimes I logon - I have alias for that, so I don't have to type the whole command. I couldn't add this command to some profile, because it messes keyboard on console (and I was too lazy to write some condition, which recognises if I'm logged on locally or remotely). Yesterday I tried to run xmodmap locally (as described below), and it works - great, I though - but only if cygwin works at all. Explanation - when I run Cygwin and switch to another application immediately, Cygwin doesn't start. I think this is simmilar - when I run Cygwin and then xmodmap, Cygwin MOSTLY doesn't start. Any ideas?

Once again : - I cannot change the configuration of the AIX Server (the main reason is that in fact, I have MANY servers, some AIX, some Solaris, some Linux,...) - I just can change the "local" configuration, that is to say the client for XDMCP. My connexion is like : start /B XWin -screen 0 1400 1050 -emulate3buttons -unixkill :0 -kb -query %AIXIP% I cannot use the option +kb since AIX NEEDS the option -kb (the reverse option of +kb, as the FAQ said). Of course, if I use a commercial version of such a X11 client (exc..d), my connexion is perfectly in french keyboard, according to my local PC configuration. And I try to figure out how to do the same thing in order to replace all my exc..d tools by Cygwin/XFree. I am not new in Unix, nor in X11, but there, I can't figure out a solution. I even try to recompile it, without success. Any Ideas ?

Whereas fd_width is 256, FD_SETSIZE (the number of bits in fd_set variables) is only 64, so that select() tests for unpredictable file descriptors from 64 to 255. For mwm, as x_fd has low values, it will be sufficient to limit fd_width in mwm.c: if(fd_width > FD_SETSIZE) fd_width = FD_SETSIZE; More generally, the value of FD_SETSIZE in /usr/include/sys/types.h should be increased (as the comments say, to >= NOFILE from param.h)!

This error from tar can usually be ignored. Signal 13 under Cygwin is SIGPIPE and this means that tar closed the pipe from the sub-process it created in order to decompress the data (in this case gunzip) but gunzip continued to write to that pipe after tar had seen all it wanted. This can be a symptom of the data being "blocked" such that the last block was partially unused by tar but still compressed by gzip and subsequently decompressed by gunzip. A few things you might want to try: - Use the "-t" or "--test" options of gzip to validate the compressed file - Uncompress the file separately and then use tar to examine or extract the archive contents - Using the "-i" or "-B" options to tar sometimes eliminates the "signal 13" diagnostics - If you know the blocking factor used to create the underlying (compressed) tar archive, you can supply that as the argument to the "-b" option (note the case sensitivity of the options "b" vs. "B"). By the way, where did you obtain the file ("nedit-5.3RC1-source.tar.gz") in the first place? Perhaps someone else can try to reproduce the symptom? I don't see it in the XFree86 packages I downloaded using Setup.exe (since I switched to getting XFree86/Cygwin from Setup.exe I've discarded the older tarballs).

Could you tell me how to find that out? I looked around and found a depth setting on the Xwin application. Didn't have time to test it out today though, so will have a look at that tomorrow. On Linux, I think there's a config file under /etc/X11 where you can put in the display settings, but couldn't find this on cygwin/xfree86.

If I use the XFree86 terminfo entry in our official terminfo package, then ncurses-based code will be able to make better use of the extended features in the XFree86 xterm. However, if someone were to use a NON XFree86 xterm on their cygwin machine, then the additional features exposed by the XFree86 terminfo entry would not actually be supported by the xterm.exe they were using. How likely is it that someone would use a NON-XFree86-provided xterm.exe on a cygwin platform? Not very, IMO. To me, this is a nobrainer -- use the XFree86 xterm terminfo entry. The only reason I haven't done so, is that XFree86 was not "officially" available via the setup.exe-based installation. --Chuck From huntharo@msu.edu Wed May 8 00:59:00 2002 From: huntharo@msu.edu (Harold Hunt) Date: Wed, 08 May 2002 00:59:00 -0000 Subject: Missing terminfo data in XFree86 4.2.0 In-Reply-To: <3CD8B1AC.1050305@ece.gatech.edu> Message-ID: Chuck, Ok, sounds like a no-brainer.

However, the source I use is not from your new package integrated in the Cygwin setup mechanism but was downloaded one day before its appearance. I installed under /usr/local (default from configure; used "env CFLAGS=-O ./configure --disable-debug --enable-production"). The buttons work, but the left button functions only with fast doubleclick (for terminating), whereas using its menu causes confuse behavior afterwards. Also, after lowering (iconizing) it is sometimes difficult to reopen the window. From the README: Things that work: o - menus. Not all functions are implemented, so not all Motif functions work. o - button bindings in general. Specifically, work needs to be done to pay attention to up/down/click/click2. > mwm reports on startup: > Cannot stat configuration file '/usr/X11R6/bin.mwmrc'. > Using builtin defaults. > at line 0 > > > Are the builtin defaults horribly broken? In my case, it says that ~/.mwmrc is missing. Are system.mwmrc and Mwm in the right places (/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/mwm/system.mwmrc, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/Mwm)?

I've just noticed that using XPDF with Cygwin XFree86 maxes out the processor on the X server box (ie XFree86), and leaves the actual XPDF program using almost zero CPU time. Redrawing the current window after it has displayed is instant. The result is that XPDF is very slow to use, with 2 or 3 second drawing times for each page... Using XVision server instead of XFree86 does not give these symptoms - new pages are rendered much faster, XVision uses very little CPU, XPDF uses more. I've done some packet sniffing using ethereal, and XPDF appears to be making the following sequence of Xlib calls a lot of times for each page (characters I guess) while ( rendering ) { XQueryColors: pixels_item: 0x0000ffff XPutImage: ZPixmap, width = 6, height = 4, depth=16, xpos = 400 ypos = 400 XGetImage: ZPixmap, width = 6, height = 4, depth=16, xpos = 406 ypos = 400 } The XPutImage/XGetImage calls are sent in a single packet. The XQueryColors call is very wasteful - it seems to be asking about the same color every time. This appears to be a bug in the anti-aliased font rendering of t1lib - you can turn it off by starting XPDF with the "-t1lib plain" option, but it doesn't seem to improve the performance at all. The only differences when run on XVision is that the pixel depth is 24 (XVision pretends to be 24 bit truecolor in 16 bit modes). I've also tries x11perf -getimage10, XFree86 achieves 590 GetImage 10x10 (with 100% CPU), XVision 1140 (with minimal CPU) (ie XVision is almost twice as fast!) x11perf -putimage10, XFree86 achieves 4890 PutImage 10x10 (with 100% CPU), XVision 2590 (minimal CPU) (ie XFree86 is almost twice as fast!) It looks like XGetImage() could do with some optimisation... Seeya, Adam -- Real Programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to read, and even harder to modify. These are all my own opinions.

The commerical X Server on Windows that you mention most likely translates X graphics calls to an equivalent set of GDI graphics calls, which allows utilization of that $200 graphics processor you bought, whereas Cygwin/XFree86 currently does all drawing to an offscreen framebuffer that is stored in system memory with updated regions of the offscreen framebuffer occasionally (sometimes frequently) transferred to the screen. Work is progressing on translating X graphics calls to GDI graphics cals in Cygwin/XFree86. Take a look at the temporary SourceForge project setup to host the development: https://sourceforge.net/projects/xoncygwin/ If you compile the server there yourself you'll see that it is actually capable of drawing most types of graphics. However, it uses an even worse (but essential) method of dumbing down each graphics call (arcs, circles, filled polygons, etc.) into a series of simple horizontal line drawing operations, "spans". As you can imagine, this is very slow. This functionality is essential though, as some X graphics calls do not translate cleanly, or at all, to GDI graphics calls. Thus, once we have the spans routines working correctly we can start translating the easier functions, such as filled circles. We expect that the performance of Cygwin/XFree86 with the NativeGDI engine will be similar to that of commerical X Servers on Windows, as almost all of them use the same method.

I have installed the latest Cygwin (setup say: setup-timestamp: 1020655814,setup-version: 2.194.2.26) and Cygwin xfree (4.2.0). I use xmodmap with the xmodmap.no found on http://www-usercgi.tu-chemnitz.de/~goal/index.php3?jump=xfree. Using this xmodmap the AltGr keys (which produce @??{[]}...) works fine in the local X bash shell. When running a remote xterm on a Solaris host the AltGr keys still works fine in xterm and in Emacs. When I start a Java (X) application (Gawors LDAP browser which can be found on http//www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/~gawor/ldap/index.html) on the Solaris host however AltGr no longer works inside the Java applications. I have tested the same application using XWin32 and have no problem with the AltGr key there. Local xev reports keycode 113 (keysym 0xff7e, Mode_swithc) when I press the AltGr key. I havn't found xev on the Solaris host so I don't know what that would report. How should I set up Cygwin xfree to handle AltGr also for Java applications?

To spark Eugene's memory we studied Electrical Engineering together at UTS during the early 90's and spent too much time in the UTS bar. Consequently when we were no longer studying and some time passed his contact details expired. Our discussions included topics such as assembly for the Amiga and hassling Colin Jones for his love of the Archimedes. We were paired up for labs and wrote some code to determine the shortest nodal path between two nodes for a flight path simulator for MCE.

Does st_ino creates uniq inodes rsp. hash values ? If so, why not (CASE1) adding an ascii representation of id to the path and calling hash_path_name() (the function which creates statbuf.st_ino) or (CASE2), using id as hash value for hash_path_name() like the following code. key_t ftok(const char *path, int id) { struct stat statbuf; // call stat() only as file existing check if (stat(buf, &statbuf)) { /* stat set the appropriate errno for us */ return (key_t) -1; } #ifdef CASE1 char buf[MAX_PATH]; sprintf(buf,"%s%08x",path,id); return hash_path_name(0,buf); #else /* CASE2 */ return hash_path_name(id,buf); #endif } This would allow using the current 32 bit key_t implementation.

I don't think there's a problem but... When (or after) I run XFree86/Cygwin, my system develops serious stability problems. The last time it happened, I first noticed that my dual-CPU system was showing only one CPU in the Task Manager "Performance" tab. That scared me, so I decided to reboot. More problem symptoms followed. When the boot process completed the hardware scan and got to the point where the "Welcome to Windows 2000" low-resolution splash screen would be taken down and the monitor resolution switched, I instead got a long period of disk activity, which I took to be an automatically invoked file system check (I have all NTFS systems, so I'm not used to this happening and it alarmed me). There was no indication of what was happening (as their ordinarily would be for a checkdsk, either manually requested or automatically invoked). However, once that was done, the system booted normally. Nonetheless, I don't like things like this happening to my system. Now, I assume XFree86/Cygwin has no kernel or driver components and that this symptom points to a problem in the driver for my Matrox G400 MAX (which is the latest driver). Over the past couple of years since I've had this card, I've found that new Matrox drivers improve upon the old ones (they've fixed some odd symptoms in Java GUIs and in Mozilla) without any down-sides, but it appears that's not so this time. Anyway, unless someone tells me that these symptoms really could have been the result of problems in XFree86/Cygwin and that re-installation using Setup.exe over an older "manual" installation could lead to this, I'm assuming my XFree86/Cygwin installation is OK. I downloaded and installed all the XFree86/Cygwin packages, by the way. However, I'm loath to use XFree86 while this problem lurks. I have comprehensive daily backups and all, but tempting fate like this is not my idea of a thrill (that's what bicycling in urban traffic is for)...

And I assume that the _apparent_ loss of a CPU was not actually that, but rather the result of some stray reference clobbering a kernel data structure. Judging from the later symptoms, there was damage to some data structures that got written to disk, too.

Actaully, I think the long delay was the copy-on-reboot stage of the cygwin upgrade. I vaguely remember something about XFree needing to update a LOT of in use files, so setup puts those files in the copy-on-reboot list. Fonts? Anyway, copying hundreds of files, one at a time, can take a while... We should probably warn people about this; they could really scrog their cygwin if they interrupt the copy-on-reboot. --Chuck From robert.collins@itdomain.com.au Thu May 9 22:21:00 2002 From: robert.collins@itdomain.com.au (Robert Collins) Date: Thu, 09 May 2002 22:21:00 -0000 Subject: "Legacy" Installation of XFree86/Cygwin vs. Setup.exe XFree86 Packages Message-ID: > -----Original Message----- > From: Charles Wilson [mailto:cwilson@ece.gatech.edu] > Sent: Friday, May 10, 2002 2:09 PM > > Actaully, I think the long delay was the copy-on-reboot stage of the > cygwin upgrade.

Besides, XFree86/Cygwin was not running when I did the install, and probably had not been started between the previous system reboot (something I do daily) and the installation. Under those circumstances would there still be this copy-on-reboot process? Anyway, I did interrupt the process a couple of times. I even contemplated restoring from my Retrospect crash recovery, but at the last moment, I decided it might be something "normal" and decided to exhibit some patience.

First I had omitted --enable-static --disable-shared, but building failed. Also the file "Install" says: On windows using Cygwin, U/WIN or Interix, LessTif must be built as static libraries. Because, one of the biggest issues with X on Win32 is the moronic DLL format. Specifically - it is not possible to export data from a Win32 DLL in a form that can be used to statically initialize another global variable. Data access from a DLL requires at least one pointer indirection, and hence executable code. This is why X11R6 doesn't have DLLs for Xt/Xmu/Xaw (and Motif) on Win32. Unfortunately, configure does not force --enable-static --disable-shared automatically for Cygwin. > 2) Download the lesstif binary distribution for Cygwin from > http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/lesstif/lesstiif-cygwin-0.93.18.tar.bz2. > See if their package works, then figure out if they built static or shared > libs. They built static libs only; but it will take some days before I can install and test their package on my PC (I just unpacked it on a Solaris host for looking at it.) They obviously used --prefix=/usr/X11R6, whereas you seem to have used /usr and I have used none (=/usr/local).

Their libraries are very large (libXm.a > is 18.8 MB), thus seem to contain debugging information. Some more information about mwm.exe in lesstiif-cygwin-0.93.18.tar.bz2. The mwm.exe in that package (/usr/X11R6/bin/mwm.exe) needs the following dll's: libICE.dll, libSM.dll, libX11.dll, libXext.dll, cygwin1.dll and KERNEL32.dll. So obviously it has linked libXm and other needed libraries statically. Also this mwm.exe has the 100% CPU-time bug when idle. One other thing: please keep the lesstif cygwin packages (on sourceforge and the 'official' cygwin-XFree86 package) synchronised: i.e agree on same prefix etc. Maybe the sourceforge page should point to the official cygwin-XFree86 package in the future. I do not want to end up with mwm.exe in both /usr/bin and /usr/X11R6/bin and libXm.a, libMrm.a and libUil.a in both /usr/lib and /usr/X11R6/lib.

But how do you ensure this in the current implementation ? st_ino contains a hash value. So this problem concerns the current implementation and the suggestion I've made. > > How do you suggest that you avoid hash collisions? With my suggestion I haven't adressed the problem of avoiding hash collisions. I only have addressed the newlib patch you suppose. Sorry :-( BTW: I have additional looked into the cygipc implementation. They uses only the lower word of st_ino and lowest byte of st_dev and lowest byte of id. And this seems to work, although the must have this hash collision problem even more, doesn't it ? May be this is another way to prevent the newlib patch.

I didn't look into it more than being able to compile and run from the source directory. IIRC, I still got a number of warnings about DLL auto-imports and the like. I didn't even try changing the prefix from /usr/local. (I'm no autotools expert, either.)

Had the smae behaviour on W98SE. WindowMaker copies its config files to the user home directory ($HOME/GNUstep/...). If this directory is not binary mounted you get the signal 11. Probably the reading code in WindowMaker opens the config files in binary mode and then gets confused by the \r\n combinations it gets from a text mounted filesystem. If you mount the home directory as binary, no signal 11 and WindowMaker works fine.

This is problem which was reported earlier on this list (25 April) by Edmund Urbani. Here I a part of his mail: Yesterday i installed cygwin with XFree 4.2.0. Everything worked fine from the start except that I could not set it up for my german keyboard layout. All I get, when I try to use eg. setxkbmap is a popup window (outside the X server as a normal Win2000-window) with this error message: Failed assertion fds_on_hold !=NULL at line 643 of file /cygnus/netrel/src/cygwin-1.3.10-1/winsup/cygwin/dtable.cc (End of quoted mail) So, I have exactly the same problem. When I moved /usr/X11R6 and /etc/X11 from another instalation with 4.1.0 everything works fine. So I have to stay with 4.1.0 as setting keyboard layout from command line when starting X is not solution for me.

This is sort of a 'growing pain'. We'll be following the Cygwin standard of using the /usr prefix.

We will only change this is some difficult problem arises for which there is no other solution than to change the prefix for all the XFree86 packages. After we get the static LessTif package released, and a few people confirm that it works, I will contact the LessTif folks to let them know that binaries for Cygwin are being distributed via setup.exe and that they can add a link to the Cygwin home page instead of distributing Cygwin binaries.

I don't think I ever gave an opinion on the /usr/bin vs. /usr/X11R6/bin.

I don't care what the prefix is, just so long as I can blame someone else :) I believe the main problem with using /usr/X11R6 as the prefix is that /usr/X11R6/bin is not in most users PATH, nor is /usr/X11R6/lib in their lib search path, nor is /usr/X11R6/include in their includes search paths... etc. It may end up being a lot of trouble to use anything other than /usr as the prefix.

I was one of the main proponents of "all the other dists put everything into /usr/bin, so we should too". Earnie raised the issue about "binaries that can exist as either X- or MS-native-windowing, but not simultaneously as both in a single executable (e.g. rxvt). I said fuhgeddaboutit until we actually SEE the problem. And then I saw the problem. tcl/tk. The cygwin version that is currently distributed uses MS-native windowing, for lots of very good reasons. It is installed into /usr/bin, /usr/include, /usr/lib. But what if I want to build an X-based application with tk? I'd need a X-based tk -- which obviously cannot go into /usr/bin, /usr/include, and /usr/lib. So, now I think that REGARDLESS of what "those other distributions do", we should segregate X- linked apps and libraries into /usr/X11R6/. Very few other platforms have multiple windowing environments to deal with. The closest similarities I can think of are: 1) X- and terminal-. Two common solutions: a) single binary, operates in either mode (FSF-Emacs) b) two different binaries with different names (vim, gvim) 2) X- and svgalib-. a) Two different binaries with the same name; only one may be installed on a system at a time (Mandrake's graphical Aurora bootup) b) two different binaries with different names (????) 3) "regular X" and "gtk" a) two different binaries with the same name; only one installed on the system at a given time (XEmacs. In fact, Mandrake for instance ONLY provides the gtk version; the normal X- version is no longer available officially). But, these are all VERY rare. Of the thousands of apps out there, most are JUST terminal, or JUST X-, or JUST svgalib. The conflicts just haven't happened often enough for the distributions to come up with a cohesive plan -- they just seem to special case the rare conflicts. I think Earnie's right: these problems will not be rare for us. We want native-windowing apps, and we want X-windowing apps, and sometimes, we want the same program in either/both/ forms (tk, XEmacs, rxvt, gtk(?), etc). To see a real comparison between what "they" do and what we do, imagine what would happen if Berlin or W or another 2nd-generation X became really popular... So, finally, in summary, IMO, X- linked apps should be compiled and installed with --prefix=/usr/X11R6/ --Chuck From cwilson@ece.gatech.edu Sat May 11 02:38:00 2002 From: cwilson@ece.gatech.edu (Charles Wilson) Date: Sat, 11 May 2002 02:38:00 -0000 Subject: lesstif mwm bug References: <200205101945.g4AJj6A28152@pilot23.cl.msu.edu> Message-ID: <3CDC516F.7070403@ece.gatech.edu> Harold L Hunt wrote: > I don't care what the prefix is, just so long as I can blame someone else :) > I believe the main problem with using /usr/X11R6 as the prefix is > that /usr/X11R6/bin is not in most users PATH, nor is /usr/X11R6/lib in their > lib search path, nor is /usr/X11R6/include in their includes search paths... > etc. It may end up being a lot of trouble to use anything other than /usr as > the prefix. But any time you're compiling an app that needs X, you always need to supply (or have configure figure out) where X is. --x-includes, --x-libraries, etc (or configure uses the default location for X, and sticks that into CFLAGS/LDFLAGS for you...). And, if I need to link against a lib that uses X, then I by necessity must also link against X itself. So, I'll get /usr/X11R6/lib and /usr/X11R6/include. Now, I can see a problem for the search ORDER: if I'm linking an X-app, then I want to use the (say) gtk+ headers from the X-gtk build, not the native-windowing-but-cygwin-runtime-gtk (if there ever is such a beast). So, I want to make sure that /usr/X11R6/include/gtk+1.2/ is searched BEFORE /usr/include/gtk+1.2/. But, -I and -L directories are always searched before the "default" /usr/[include|lib] -- so that's okay. But what about 'foo-config' scripts? I'd want to run '/usr/X11R6/bin/gtk-config --cflags', not '/usr/bin/gtk-config --cflags' during configure. So, I need to make sure that /usr/X11R6/bin/ comes BEFORE /usr/bin in my PATH, when I begin to build a X- linked app. (This harkens back to Earnie's "moode" supposition...) Similarly, what of 'pkgconfig(gtk+, ver >= 1.2)' -- pkgconfig will use the 'gtk+.pc' file in its "home" directory -- /usr/lib/pkgconfig/. But, that's where the native-windowing-but-cygwin-runtime-gtk will put its .pc file. So, I also need to either: 1) I somehow indicate to /usr/bin/pkgconfig.exe that it should look in /usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig/ BEFORE /usr/lib/pkgconfig (but it still needs to look in both, to make sure that libs which do not depend on windowing-modality get picked up) 2) I need a second pkgconfig.exe in /usr/X11R6/bin/ that is configured to behave as in (1); I insure that THIS one is called when building X apps, because I set the PATH as described earlier...that whole "moode" thing. Both (1) and (2) require some hacks to pkgconfig; I'm willing to do that. --Chuck From huntharo@msu.edu Sat May 11 02:38:00 2002 From: huntharo@msu.edu (Harold Hunt) Date: Sat, 11 May 2002 02:38:00 -0000 Subject: lesstif mwm bug In-Reply-To: <3CDBB8F3.9DE4A100@cistron.nl> Message-ID: Ton van Overbeek, > Some more information about mwm.exe in lesstiif-cygwin-0.93.18.tar.bz2. > The mwm.exe in that package (/usr/X11R6/bin/mwm.exe) needs the > following dll's: > libICE.dll, libSM.dll, libX11.dll, libXext.dll, cygwin1.dll and > KERNEL32.dll. > So obviously it has linked libXm and other needed libraries statically. > Also this mwm.exe has the 100% CPU-time bug when idle. Hmm... I just rebuilt the LessTif package using --enable-static --disable-shared and installed it. I still get the same problem where mwm runs and doesn't have the 100% CPU-time but, but it still doesn't do anything when I click things (other than make the button flash). I ran cygcheck on this new mwm.exe and got: $ cygcheck mwm.exe Found: C:\cygwin\bin\mwm.exe C:\cygwin\bin\mwm.exe .\libICE.dll C:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll C:\WINNT\System32\KERNEL32.dll C:\WINNT\System32\NTDLL.DLL .\libSM.dll .\libX11.dll .\libXext.dll So the libraries are indeed static in the new LessTif that I just built. However, I became curious so I uninstalled the new LessTif (0.93.18-3) and reinstalled the supposed shared library version of LessTif (0.93.18-2). I then ran cygcheck on this old mwm.exe and, lo, got the same results: $ cygcheck mwm.exe Found: .\mwm.exe .\mwm.exe .\libICE.dll C:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll C:\WINNT\System32\KERNEL32.dll C:\WINNT\System32\NTDLL.DLL .\libSM.dll .\libX11.dll .\libXext.dll Thus the default settings for building LessTif on Cygwin must be to build static libs only. Therefore the LessTif 0.93.18-2 Cygwin package has static libs. This also means that my mwm.exe problems have nothing to do with shared libs (since I've only been building static libs). One interesting thing to note is that I can get mwm to switch between virtual desktops by moving the mouse pointer to the edge of the screen. The window redraws correctly for the new virtual desktop and I can navigate back to the original desktop. However, I cannot move, resize, etc. the xterm window. Finally, I switched the prefix from /usr to /usr/X11R6. I don't want to release this new package until we can figure out why mwm isn't working for me (as it will probably do the same for others).

This indicates that the mwm.exe bug has nothing to do with LessTif. In fact, this indicates is a problem with the way that Cygwin/XFree86 treats the NumLock key and possibly other modifier keys. As a test I just compiled XWin.exe with a modified xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xwin/winkeybd.c/winGetKeyMappings () function that has these lines removed: case XK_Num_Lock: pModMap[i] = NumLockMask; break; Pulling those lines out causes mwm.exe to have no problems, regardless of the state of the NumLock key. Of course, the NumLock key no longer functions in Cygwin/XFree86, but what can you do? :) I'm going to go ahead and release the new LessTif packages that use /usr/X11R6 as the prefix and I'm going to see if I can fix the way that XWin.exe handles NumLock, etc. Harold > -----Original Message----- > From: cygwin-xfree-owner@cygwin.com > [mailto:cygwin-xfree-owner@cygwin.com]On Behalf Of Ton van Overbeek > Sent: Saturday, May 11, 2002 8:28 AM > To: Harold Hunt; cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com > Subject: RE: lesstif mwm bug > > > At 22:26 5/10/2002 -0400, Harold Hunt wrote: > >This also means that my mwm.exe problems have nothing to do with > shared libs > >(since I've only been building static libs). > > > >One interesting thing to note is that I can get mwm to switch between > >virtual desktops by moving the mouse pointer to the edge of the > screen.

There was one company that specialized in moving VMS apps to UNIX (with a primary focus on AIX). As I've probably previously mentioned, my old company used to make its living doing VMS-on-UNIX at an application level. It wasn't free software but Digital (aka, Compaq, aka HP) used to like us. However, I'm aware of at least two free software projects which have some VMS-on-UNIX components. I don't have their URLs handy, though. They could be dead now, I guess. cgf From huntharo@msu.edu Sun May 12 08:29:00 2002 From: huntharo@msu.edu (Harold Hunt) Date: Sun, 12 May 2002 08:29:00 -0000 Subject: lesstif mwm bug In-Reply-To: <20020511201833.GA27472@redhat.com> Message-ID: Chris, I spent probably 4 hours searching Google and Compaq documentation for libraries to aid in porting from VMS to UNIX and I've subsequently spent at least 15 to 30 minutes everyday since then trying a few more queries, just to make sure that I haven't missed anything. I'm primarily in need of a library that provides translations of VMS system calls implemented using POSIX system calls, as I'm porting from VMS to Tru64 UNIX (formerly DIGITAL UNIX) so I already have the DIGITAL FORTRAN compiler that I need. In fact, I already have implementations of the handful of functions that I need (STR$UPCASE, STR$COMPARE, STR$POSITION, LIB$SKPC, LIB$FFS, LIB$SPANC, etc.) but I want to open source them so that others can use them and hopefully tell me what they do incorrectly. For example, I just fixed a bug in STR$UPCASE in that it didn't overwrite the destination string with spaces if you called as, say STR$UPCASE(NAME, NAME(1:8)) where NAME is originally 25 characters long. In my searching came up with three libraries: 1) Sector7's VX/RT (not free) library: http://www.sector7.com/openvms_to_windows-unix.htm 2) Accelr8's Open LIBR8 (not free) library: http://www.accelr8.com/lib.html 3) General Atomics Fusion Group (http://web.gat.com/) has a set of VMS functions that they implemented on HPUX: http://web.gat.com/computers/1994_12_lib.html However, they never published this as open source, so I'd somehow have to find someone there that knows what I'm talking about, then convince them to open source the work (albeit a small amount) that they did. So, I'm kinda out of luck here. I've got little choice but to start my own VMS system call library project. :( Harold > -----Original Message----- > From: cygwin-xfree-owner@cygwin.com > [mailto:cygwin-xfree-owner@cygwin.com]On Behalf Of Christopher Faylor > Sent: Saturday, May 11, 2002 4:19 PM > To: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com > Subject: Re: lesstif mwm bug > > > On Sat, May 11, 2002 at 12:40:10PM -0400, Harold Hunt wrote: > >Interesting.

XFree86 resets the server when the last X client quits. So probably your xhost + is lost due to the reset. You can prevent this reset by always running a local xterm or run a window manager local that you don't quit.

Yes. I'd suggest that any non-trivial discussions take place on cygwin-apps, optionally copied to cygwin-xfree. Any xfree-only discussions, don't need to be on cygwin-apps.

Firstly, thanks to everyone involved with cygwin/xfree for making such a wonderful tool freely available. By way of introduction, I'm currently investigating the feasibility of using cygwin/xfree to run OpenOffice from a Linux server. In my work so far, I've come across one problem that I wanted to share with the list which involves security, or more to point, MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1-style security. In our environment we require access to the local display both locally and remotely. Currently, the only client we run locally is "xwinclip" to enable clipboard interoperability. Otherwise, all client applications (e.g., OpenOffice) run remotely. This translates to 3 cookies: 1. local display (:0) 2. localhost (127.0.0.1:0) 3. network interface (for example, 192.168.192.1:0) In summary, what I've found is if you specify the path to the "XAUTHORITY" file on the command line in DOS-format (-auth C:\TEMP\.Xauthority), then local applications can connect using any one of the following display settings, and all 3 of the following commands work. xclock -display :0 xclock -display 127.0.0.1:0 xclock -display 192.168.192.1:0 However, if I try to access the same display remotely, I get the following error message: Xlib: connection to "192.168.192.1:0.0" refused by server Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key Error: Can't open display: 192.168.192.1:0 Reversing the situation, if you specify the path to the "XAUTHORITY" file on the command line in UNIX-format (-auth /tmp/.Xauthority, where /tmp is mounted on C:\TEMP), then remote clients can access the display remotely. However, local applications can now only access the display via 192.168.192.1:0. Weird! There must be something that I'm missing. Note, in both situations the X-authorization records were correctly copied to the remote system. I visually checked as much using the "xauth" command. I don't think this is hard to re-produce so I'd be interested in what others find. My guess is that the X server is somehow not consulting the "XAUTHORITY" file when a connection attempt is made from either :0 (UNIX-domain socket) or 127.0.0.1:0 (localhost) but only when the path to the "XAUTHORITY" file is specified in UNIX-format.

My guess is: you didn't actually install a configuration file for these window managers. pwm, at the very least, will NOT run if it can't find a config file.

You can cook up your own recipe based on these few lines. Mind you, I'm not pretending that this method is in any way "cryptographically" secure as it simply computes an MD5 checksum based on the computer name and current date, as you can see. Another good source of info is your (Linux) system's "startx" shell script. Note, the following code assumes that the environment variables XAUTHORITY and DISPLAY are respectively set to "path to .Xauthority file" and ":0". # Generate X authorization (MIT-MAGIC-COOKIEs) data for the # local display to enable access via tcp on both the local # loopback i/f (127.0.0.1) and the network i/f, as well as # via UNIX-domain sockets. rm -f "$XAUTHORITY" "$XAUTHORITY-c" "$XAUTHORITY-l" mcookie=`echo "$COMPUTERNAME\`date\`" | md5sum | sed 's/[[:space:]].*//'` xauth -f "$XAUTHORITY" -v add "$DISPLAY" .

I've gotten all the Cygwin & XFree86 Components in place on my W2k box, and I can now run X apps remotely by following the procedure: - Start X Server on W2K - Add remote RedHat box to xhosts - Telnet to remote RedHat box - Configure DISPLAY to point at W2K box - Execute xterm & (for instance) That gets me a nice xterm running here on my W2K machine. However, what I'd really like to do is an XDMCP logon to the aforementioned RedHat box, so that I don't have to go through this procedure and I can get the full desktop on the Linux box. When I try the suggestion in the Cygwin/XFree86 user's guide, XWin.exe -query remote_hostname I just get the default X black-and-white checked background like it's waiting for the other machine to respond. I never get the logon screen from the RedHat box. I've also tried variations like using -from my_w2k_ip_address -display 800x600x16 all to no avail (same result). I believe that Xaccess and such are set up correctly on the RedHat machine as I haven't changed anything there since my eXceed worked ok. Can someone please give me a pointer or two?

It is a common trick to make the shell prompt or a cd alias include the escape sequence to put the current directory in the title. Perhaps this is the default for bash? I wouldn't think so, but this would happen after the title is initially set with -T or -title.

It has an X component as well as a curses-base component as well as a printer component and lastly a scripting component. It covers many areas as separate programs (which I was going to package separately). Robert did suggest 'Net', and I'll probably go with that for the non-X components.

Check this out: Quoted from the description of DeleteFile in the MDSN library: To delete or rename a file, you must have either delete permission on the file or delete child permission in the parent directory. If you set up a directory with all access except delete and delete child and the ACLs of new files are inherited, then you should be able to create a file without being able to delete it. However, you can then create a file, and you will get all the access you request on the handle returned to you at the time you create the file. If you requested delete permission at the time you created the file, you could delete or rename the file with that handle but not with any other. ACL of a mode 400 file from my home directory: C:\cygwin\home\paveltz\test.c MORDOR\paveltz:(accesso speciale:) READ_CONTROL WRITE_DAC WRITE_OWNER SYNCHRONIZE FILE_GENERIC_READ FILE_READ_DATA FILE_READ_EA FILE_WRITE_EA FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES FILE_WRITE_ATTRIBUTES MORDOR\Nessuno:(accesso speciale:) READ_CONTROL FILE_READ_EA FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES Everyone:(accesso speciale:) READ_CONTROL FILE_READ_EA FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES Obviously the DELETE permission is missing. You call SetFileAttributes with ~FILE_ATTRIBUTE_READONLY which shoul enable the file for reading but it does not - I suppose this is why: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/fileio/filesio_6c8i.asp Note that it is said: dwFileAttributes Specifies FAT-style attribute information for the file or directory. But if we're on NTFS there is no joy :( I've tried a simple test with SetFileAttributes and ~FILE_ATTRIBUTE_READONLY and it doesnt affect the file at all. Ok here is how to fix this issues I've just tried it on my XP Home and it worked fine.

I can't see I got any response so I try once more. May be I used the wrong address? Will try cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com this time. Hi! I have installed the latest Cygwin (setup say: setup-timestamp: 1020655814,setup-version: 2.194.2.26) and Cygwin xfree (4.2.0). I use xmodmap with the xmodmap.no found on http://www-usercgi.tu-chemnitz.de/~goal/index.php3?jump=xfree. Using this xmodmap the AltGr keys (which produce @??{[]}...) works fine in the local X bash shell. When running a remote xterm on a Solaris host the AltGr keys still works fine in xterm and in Emacs. When I start a Java (X) application (Gawors LDAP browser which can be found on http//www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/~gawor/ldap/index.html) on the Solaris host however AltGr no longer works inside the Java applications. I have tested the same application using XWin32 and have no problem with the AltGr key there. Local xev reports keycode 113 (keysym 0xff7e, Mode_swithc) when I press the AltGr key. I havn't found xev on the Solaris host so I don't know what that would report. How should I set up Cygwin xfree to handle AltGr also for Java applications?

Don't know of any. xmodmap and xkb only set the scancode translation table.

However, initially I ran into problems similar to what you describe. I attributed it to the fact that you can't count on the "sleep 2" command to be long enough for XWin to start. I then found that the xinit command has a way of determining that XWin is up and running before trying to launch any xclients. To use it, move most of the commands into the file ~/.xinitrc. For instance: xwinclip & python /home/geek/bin/workspace_indicator --size 200 & xv -root -maxpect -quit $HOME/images/gazebo.jpg xrdb -merge $HOME/.config/Xresources pwm Note that I left out the stuff that sets the DISPLAY to :0, xinit takes care of that for you. Also note how I moved "pwm" to the end and left it in the foreground, as per the recommendations in the xinit documentation. To run it, use this command-line: xinit -- -fullscreen -once -terminate -nowinkill -unixkill \ -auth $HOME/.Xauthority Hope this helps. >From: "Brian Gallew" >To: >Subject: XWin doesn't always start "right"' >Date: Thu, 16 May 2002 07:24:07 -0400 (EDT) > >I'm running cygiwn/xfree on a ThinkPad under XP.

It takes possibly many hours (especially for first timers) and there is a lot that can go wrong. With that in mind, I'll point you to two of the three steps for building the packages, and I'll post the packaging script tonight when I am on the machine that has it. I had posted the script before but the machine it was on is no longer accessible, so I'll have to put it somewhere else. Be aware that you can start the first two steps and by the time that I post the packaging script in about 8 hours you still won't have built XFree86... 1) Follow the instructions in the Cygwin/XFree86 Contributor's Guide for downloading the source for XFree86 and building it. You'll want to grab the `xf-4_2-branch' of the source code. I think you would do that with: cvs checkout -r xf-4_2-branch xc Notice that some of the patches to the latest Xxserv package were not applied to the xf-4_2-branch (I don't think Alan keeps an xf-4_2-branch tree around) so you'll need to grab the default branch and copy the files from xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xwin/ into your 4_2 tree. The relevant steps in the Contributor's Guide are here: http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/cg/prog-build-native.html 2) After building XFree86 you'll need to create the XFree86 packages, which is very difficult. I've attempted to create a Cygwin-specific version of the instructions for this at: http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/cg/prog-distribution.html 3) Now you need to convert the XFree86 packages into Cygwin packages. This is done with the build.sh script that Ian Burrell wrote and I modified. I'll post this later tonight, but the basic idea is that you copy the XFree86 packages into a directory with build.sh, then run the script. It takes about 5 to 10 minutes on my 1200 Athlon with a pretty quick hard drive, so I wouldn't be surprised if it took up to an hour on older hardware. You'd better be really sure that you actually want to do this before you put any time into it. There is a reason that XFree86 was not installable via Cygwin's setup.exe for almost a year after we started using the XFree86 packaging script. Good luck, Harold Nicholas Wourms said: > Harold, > > How do you build the packages for use with setup.exe? Do you use a script > or do you do it by hand?

Given that, I was attempting to follow the directions on in the contributor's guide regarding building Xfree. Unfortunately matters have been complicated twofold, as I am quite dissappointed with the performance of compilation on my windows machine. Therefore I was setting up a cross-compile environment on my suse 7.3 linux box per your directions. This is where I want to ask a question: Is there anything different which must be done now to crosscompile that wasn't included in your directions or has changed since you wrote them? I will follow the steps below and see if my result is different, but for some reason when I followed your directions (before you sent this mail) in the howto and double checked my process, the make process bombs out on imake.c, complaining about a "imake.c:395: parse error before `1'". From what I see crosscompiling needs different defines? I'm not sure...despite that my will is strong and my desire to recompile is kindled by the desire to help in testing kde.

I haven't done a cross compile in a couple of months now. I just deleted by Cygwin cross compiler off of my Linux machine, so I'd have to spend a bit of time to do a test cross compile right now. I'm a little strapped for time right now and we're going out of town for the weekend, so it'll have to wait until next month sometime. On the other hand, I do recall that if you do not pass the flags *exactly* as documented the build process will usually bomb at imake. You should be using the command like so (all on one line, but I wrapped it for readability): [harold@MyCrossHost std]$ make World BOOTSTRAPCFLAGS="-D__CYGWIN__ -Ulinux -DCrossCompiling=1" IMAKE_DEFINES="-D__CYGWIN__ -Ulinux" > World.log 2>&1 Good luck, Harold > -----Original Message----- > From: Nicholas Wourms [mailto:nwourms@yahoo.com] > Sent: Thursday, May 16, 2002 12:09 PM > To: Harold L Hunt > Subject: Re: building xwin packages > > > Harold, > > I am quite aware of the the trias involved with building Xfree (I just > went trough it a few months ago on OSX ;)).

Music Experience > http://launch.yahoo.com From cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com Fri May 17 00:08:00 2002 From: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com (Harold Hunt) Date: Fri, 17 May 2002 00:08:00 -0000 Subject: building xwin packages In-Reply-To: <20020517000844.51651.qmail@web21001.mail.yahoo.com> Message-ID: I managed to do a test cross compile for you. Everything went as planned. No build problems. I think that the crucial step you may have missed is to set the path to the Cygwin binutils and gcc executables: PATH=$PATH:/cygwin/bin:/cygwin/i686-pc-cygwin/bin I made a few updates to the Contributor's Guide. I removed a step that was irrelevant and updated the version of the binutils package. I also corrected the download directory for binutils and gcc. http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/cg/prog-build-cross.html So, make sure that you set the PATH correctly and try building again. Note that the host.def that I link to (which is required) does NOT build fonts by default. You will need to edit host.def and flip the NO flag for building the fonts to YES.

I am not able to get the french keyboard at login, but just after, the xmodmap locally runned (in the local script, not on the remote server) is perfectly running and I get the french keyboard. So it is a part of the answear (since I prefer to get all the specific configuration part on my PC, not on the many server I must access). The only point is that "-ac" enables anyone to get access to my X client (like xhost +). But not too bad anyway. If someone find how to finaly get the french KB at logon time, and it is perfect for me. By the way, thank you all for your helps!!! Great job!

I haven't done a cross compile in a couple of months now. I just deleted by Cygwin cross compiler off of my Linux machine, so I'd have to spend a bit of time to do a test cross compile right now. I'm a little strapped for time right now and we're going out of town for the weekend, so it'll have to wait until next month sometime. On the other hand, I do recall that if you do not pass the flags *exactly* as documented the build process will usually bomb at imake. You should be using the command like so (all on one line, but I wrapped it for readability): [harold@MyCrossHost std]$ make World BOOTSTRAPCFLAGS="-D__CYGWIN__ -Ulinux -DCrossCompiling=1" IMAKE_DEFINES="-D__CYGWIN__ -Ulinux" > World.log 2>&1 Good luck, Harold > -----Original Message----- > From: Nicholas Wourms [mailto:nwourms@yahoo.com] > Sent: Thursday, May 16, 2002 12:09 PM > To: Harold L Hunt > Subject: Re: building xwin packages > > > Harold, > > I am quite aware of the the trias involved with building Xfree (I just > went trough it a few months ago on OSX ;)).

During the installation of kdebase, I will get about half way through, and then get booged down in a series of error messages that read: warning: deleting d:\cygwin/opt/kde2/share/doc/HTML/en/kdeprint/cupsserverconfig_serverencryptionconfig_servercertificate_blurb.png" so I can make a directory there. After hitting OK, I get another one that reads: warning: moving directory "/opt/kde2/share/doc/HTML/en/kdeprint/cupsserverconfig_serverencryptionconfig_servercertificate_blurb.png" out of the way. At least for 2.2.1, installing manually by extracting the archive on the command line works. And, sure enough, I have multiple copies of a directory with that name. Will proceed with manual installation for 2.2.2. -- ****************************************************************************** Jonathan Fosburgh |Certified AIX Administrator Software Systems Spec.

I didn't do a test build with the default FS (I'm at a loss for the name right now) but I think it would be slower than Reiser. Anyway, build times for XFree86 depend on a lot of things and it is not unusual for it to take over an hour.

The only solution that I found in the archives was to avoid Logitech's drivers. This is not necessary. It seems that the middle mouse button can easily be enabled by a simple setting in the "Mouse properties" control panel. In the tab entitled "Buttons", each of the three buttons can be assigned a wide variety of actions. The default assignment of the middle button causes it not to work in XFree86. I use the following assignment to make the buttons work "normally": Button 1 (left): "Click/Select" Button 2 (middle): "Middle Button" Button 3 (right): "Context Menu/Alternate Select" (yes they number their buttons strangely - the tab has a nice picture to illustrate their numbering of buttons) Hope this helps anyone trying to get their 3-button/scroll logitech mouse to work with a middle button.

I have an application which opens the terminal as file and writes and read to the terminal. The source code is in Fortran which opens the file with name specified as value returned by utility 'tty' i.e is terminal name. For this very reason I download the cygwin for internet. The problem, I am now facing is that if I compile and build the executable with the 'g77' compiler supplied with cygwin, the application works i.e. the application opens the terminal as file and reads and writes to the terminal. But if I compile and build the application using 'Compaq Visual Fortran Optimizing Compiler Version 6.1', the application does not write and read to terminal, instead it writes and tries to read from a file '/dev/conin'. The is beacuse 'tty' utility of cygwin returns this value and therefore application opens a file named as 'conin' under the 'dev' folder of current working drive. This is not the case if the application is built using the 'g77' compiler available with cygwin. Kindly, let as know how can we work out a solution for this as we have to build the application using the 'Compaq Visual Fortran Optimizing Compiler Version 6.1' which is available with Visual Studio from Microsoft.

Google came up with a number of solutions for Linux/XFree86, but all required new drivers. Perhaps I need a Windows driver that makes it look more like a wheel mouse? The latest driver from IBM doesn't help (I'm not sure how it scrolls, though--it can scroll on both axes). I think the driver at http://rsim.cs.uiuc.edu/~sachs/tp-scroll/ does what I want (allowing the scroll button to double as a middle button), but again that's for Linux. I could live with using -emulate3buttons and just using the scroll button for scrolling. For now, I turn the scroll button into a middle button.

In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Jerry, In this case you're going to have to do some investigation to find out how the Trackpoint driver emulates a mouse wheel. It is obviously not sending the WM_MOUSEWHEEL message (like the Intellipoint and Logitech drivers) or else we'd catch them and handle the wheel functionality correctly. I hope that the Trackpoint driver doesn't do some chintzy mechanism of finding the scrollbar attached to the window with the keyboard focus and sending messages directly to that scrollbar (I'm pretty sure that this is the way that initial mouse wheel support worked in a lot of drivers). In that case we won't really be able to do anything, since we don't have a scrollbar of our own. Then again... maybe we could add an invisible scrollbar that would catch all such messages and generate X messages for them... that may not be too hard. In any case, report the findings of your investigation to the mailing list and we'll see what we can do.

I found out that there is a special configuration file for the trackpoint driver. It's in /WINNT/System32/tp4table.dat in my case, although it looks like in the beta driver they've renamed it to tp4scrol.dat. The beta driver's at http://wwwcssrv.almaden.ibm.com/trackpoint (thanks to Scott Brim for the reference), although I was able to make my current driver work. I simply added the following to the end of the "Pass 0 rules" in that configuration file and rebooted: ; X Windows *,*,XWin.exe,*,*,cygwin/xfree86,WheelStd,0,9 That tells the driver to use Wheel messages as opposed to whatever it normally does. Since the driver is capable of scrolling in both directions, it probably does look for the scrollbars by default. I was guessing a bit about what to put in this entry, although that one seems to work.

I am, however, having no luck starting XFree86. (I'm running cygwin on an IBM Thinkpad with Win2000.) When I run startxwin.bat, it notices that I'm running Windows 2000, but then a Windows pop up window appears saying that XWin.exe - Application Error The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142). Click on OK to terminate the application. I'm not sure what this pop-up messsage mean, of if anyone else have had this problem before. I'm thinking that this may be a problem with Windows instead of with XFree86, but any sort of help would be appreciated. Thanks very much.

With these patches I can start the User Interface (ui) but as I don't have inetd running I can't rsh from localhost to localhost to start the server. I can work around this by (http://www.opendx.org/started.html) dx -uionly & dx -execonly& to start the ui and server seperately. Then I try to connect to the ui to the server - select "Connection - start server" from ui menu - select "options" and connect to existing server and then connect The server sees this and responds with "server: accepted connection from client" then fails with "ExHostToFQDN failed" Looks like some sort of DNS lookup error or similar, so it may be specific to my configuration. I saw that the version Suhaib distributed had its own private rsh.exe. It may have avoided the rsh problems above by avoiding all the network stuff. -----Original Message----- From: Harold Hunt [mailto:huntharo@msu.edu] Sent: Friday, 24 May 2002 2:42 To: Billinghurst, David (CRTS) Subject: RE: New package for testing: OpenDX Okay, I'll hold off.

The reasoning behind this is to allow package vendors to affect environmental variables without having to actually patch the current /etc/profile. The syntax is, therefore, exactly the same as you'd expect from a .profile file. All one does is make new files /etc/profile.d/foo.sh (for bash and sh shells) and /etc/profile.d/foo.csh (for tcsh and csh shells) containing the environmentals one wnat to set. Take, for example, gnome.sh on SuSE Linux: # # /etc/profile.d/gnome.sh # # send feedback to feedback@suse.de # # Expanding PATH # export PATH=$PATH:/opt/gnome/bin # # While compiling GNOME programs, we also look into # /usr for libs, includes, etc.: # export GNOME_PATH=$GNOME_PATH:/opt/gnome:/usr # # Setting GNOMEDIR # export GNOMEDIR=/opt/gnome As you can see, all the necessary environmentals for gnome are conviently located in this file. If the user uninstalls gnome the variables go away. By allowing the modularity in configuration, one saves the headaches of dealing with post(un)install setup of new packages. Now, seeing as how I just wanted to see what OpenDX was, I'm not the expert on it. So, I don't think I'm the best person to "ask" what environmentals need to be setup. FWIW, I think it might be advisable to include a similar script with the Xfree packages to make sure the user's environmentals are setup so that they can use startx, etc... I hope this helps :).

In particular, * Cygwin is a UNIX environment, developed by Red Hat, for Windows. It consists of two parts: A DLL (cygwin1.dll) which acts as a UNIX emulation layer providing substantial UNIX API functionality. * A collection of tools, ported from UNIX, which provide UNIX/Linux look and feel. It sounds to me that the program was written for Unix, and *needs* the cygwin1.dll to work unmodified on Windows. If you want it to work with MS Visual Studio, you will need to a) modify the code b) SEEK HELP SOMEWHERE ELSE, since this list is for discussion out the port of XFree86 to MS Windows using Cygwin.

The reasoning behind this is to allow package vendors to affect environmental variables without having to actually patch the current /etc/profile. The syntax is, therefore, exactly the same as you'd expect from a .profile file. All one does is make new files /etc/profile.d/foo.sh (for bash and sh shells) and /etc/profile.d/foo.csh (for tcsh and csh shells) containing the environmentals one wnat to set. Take, for example, gnome.sh on SuSE Linux: # # /etc/profile.d/gnome.sh # # send feedback to feedback@suse.de # # Expanding PATH # export PATH=$PATH:/opt/gnome/bin # # While compiling GNOME programs, we also look into # /usr for libs, includes, etc.: # export GNOME_PATH=$GNOME_PATH:/opt/gnome:/usr # # Setting GNOMEDIR # export GNOMEDIR=/opt/gnome As you can see, all the necessary environmentals for gnome are conviently located in this file. If the user uninstalls gnome the variables go away. By allowing the modularity in configuration, one saves the headaches of dealing with post(un)install setup of new packages. Now, seeing as how I just wanted to see what OpenDX was, I'm not the expert on it. So, I don't think I'm the best person to "ask" what environmentals need to be setup. FWIW, I think it might be advisable to include a similar script with the Xfree packages to make sure the user's environmentals are setup so that they can use startx, etc... I hope this helps :).

You can copy rsh.exe from older version. I found that rsh.exe somewhere on internet. OpenDX does not make use of inetd. It does use DNS lookup either. Are you trying to use UI from local client and DX server from a remote machine? I believe it is dxworker issue. Can you not download one of the older version I patched and use dx and dxowrker scripts from it. It might help you. The older versions should still be available from http://opendx.npaci.edu/bin Good luck Suhaib -----Original Message----- From: cygwin-xfree-owner@cygwin.com [mailto:cygwin-xfree-owner@cygwin.com] On Behalf Of Billinghurst, David (CRTS) Sent: Thursday, May 23, 2002 9:57 PM To: Harold Hunt Cc: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com Subject: RE: New package for testing: OpenDX OK. With these patches I can start the User Interface (ui) but as I don't have inetd running I can't rsh from localhost to localhost to start the server. I can work around this by (http://www.opendx.org/started.html) dx -uionly & dx -execonly& to start the ui and server seperately. Then I try to connect to the ui to the server select "Connection - start server" from ui menu select "options" and connect to existing server and then connect The server sees this and responds with "server: accepted connection from client" then fails with "ExHostToFQDN failed" Looks like some sort of DNS lookup error or similar, so it may be specific to my configuration. I saw that the version Suhaib distributed had its own private rsh.exe. It may have avoided the rsh problems above by avoiding all the network stuff.

Simply because you are buying and selling something of value. AS SEEN ON NATIONAL TV: Making over half million dollars every 4 to 5 months from your home. THANKS TO THE COMPUTER AGE AND THE INTERNET ! ================================================== BE AN INTERNET MILLIONAIRE LIKE OTHERS WITHIN A YEAR!!! Before you say ''Bull'', please read 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 instruction" 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 a total $ 610,470.00 in 21 weeks, with money still coming in''. Pam Hedland, Fort Lee, New Jersey. ================================================== Another said: "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 Wa-laa ..... 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 ==== $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ If you would like to make at least $500,000 every 4 to 5 months easily and comfortably, please read the following...THEN READ IT AGAIN and AGAIN !!! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ FOLLOW THE SIMPLE INSTRUCTION BELOW AND YOUR FINANCIAL DREAMS WILL COME TRUE, GUARANTEED!

DO NOT MAKE ANY OTHER CHANGES. **** Save this on a disk as well just in case if you loose any data. To assist you with marketing your business on the internet, the 5 reports you purchase will provide you with invaluable marketing information which includes how to send bulk e-mails legally, where to find thousands of free classified ads and much more. There are 2 Primary methods to get this venture going: METHOD # 1: BY SENDING BULK E-MAIL LEGALLY ================================================== Let's say that you decide to start small, just to see how it goes, and we will assume You and those involved send out only 5,000 e-mails each. Let's also assume that the mailing receive only a 0.2% (2/10 of 1%) 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 5,000 e-mail each for a total of 5 million e-mail sent out. The 0.2% response 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 a million dollars). 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 STILL 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 100,000 e-mails each or more? There are over 250 million people on the Internet worldwide and counting, with thousands more coming on line every day. Believe me, many people will do just that, and more! METHOD # 2: BY PLACING FREE ADS ON THE INTERNET ================================================== Advertising on the net is very, very inexpensive and there are hundreds of FREE places to advertise. Placing a lot of free ads on the Internet will easily get a larger response. We strongly suggest you start with Method # 1 and add METHOD #2 as you go along. For every $5 you 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 can not advertise until they receive the report. ===========AVAILABLE REPORTS ==================== The reason for the cash is not because this is illegal or somehow "wrong". It is simply about time. Time for checks or credit cards to be cleared or approved, etc. Concealing it is simply so no one can SEE there is money in the envelope and steal it before it gets to you. ORDER EACH REPORT BY ITS NUMBER & NAME ONLY. Notes: Always send $5 cash (U.S. CURRENCY) for each Report. Checks NOT accepted. Make sure the cash is concealed by wrapping it in at least 2 sheets of paper. On one of those sheets of paper, Write the NUMBER & the NAME of the Report you are ordering, YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS and your name and postal address. SO PLACE YOUR ORDER FOR THESE REPORTS NOW : ================================================== REPORT #1 "The Insider's Guide to Advertising for Free on the Net" ORDER REPORT #1 FROM: Nice 14605 N. Airport Road Ste 312 Scottsdale, AZ 85260 _________________________________________________ REPORT #2 "The Insider's Guide to Sending Bulk E-mail on the Net" ORDER REPORT #2 FROM: Cook 136 Flora Ave. Atlanta, GA 30307 USA ___________________________________________________ REPORT #3 "The Secrets to Multilevel Marketing on the Internet" ORDER REPORT #3 FROM: Jack Wang 2623, South Quarry Lane #B Diamond Bar, CA 91789 ____________________________________________________ REPORT #4 "How to become a Millionaire utilizing the Power of Multilevel Marketing and the Internet" ORDER REPORT #4 FROM: Kim 5300 Beach Blvd., Suite 110-303 Buena Park, CA 90621 USA _____________________________________________________ REPORT #5 "How to SEND 1,000,000 e-mails for FREE" ORDER REPORT #5 FROM: Cathy Hartig 2959 Sorenson Dr Green Bay WI 54313 _______________________________________________ There are currently a billion (1,000,000,000) people online worldwide! $$$$$$$$$ YOUR SUCCESS GUIDELINES $$$$$$$$$$$ You absolutely must 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. You can KEEP TRACK of your PROGRESS by watching which report people are ordering from you. IF YOU WANT TO GENERATE MORE INCOME SEND ANOTHER BATCH OF E-MAILS AND START THE WHOLE PROCESS AGAIN. There is NO LIMIT to the income you can generate from this business !!! ================================================= FOLLOWING IS A NOTE FROM THE ORIGINATOR OF THIS PROGRAM: You have just received information that can give you 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 as 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.

Hmmm...you might want to wait until Harold finishes the various little graphics libraries. I *think* he is working on libiconv, libungif, glib, gtk, and pango. It certainly would make ImageMagick more robust... Also, since Unisys' patent on lzw will be expiring soon, I'd reccommend compiling with the --enable-lzw flag (and who really cares about them anyways). Just my input on the subject...

I can't get kde running. So here is the storry: Well, this is how I installed the stuff: Setting: No cygwinstuff installed (deleted the cygwin dir) - downloaded the cygwin-installer - added the new mirror like told on the kde-page - selected that kde-mirror and another cygwinmirror - selected the kdebase package in the 2.2.2 tree - selected additionaly ssh, bzip2 & jpeg - -> downloading and installing While installing there occured some errors having to do with kde-docs (they where reported in the mail "Re: KDE 2.2.2 beta 1 released" form Jonathan Fosburgh on 05.17.2002) so I just ignored them. Installation done. Then I added the following lines to /etc/profile: export PATH=/usr/X11R6/bin:$PATH export PATH=/usr/local/lib/qt2/bin:$PATH . /opt/kde2/bin/kde_setenv (why can't the installer do this?) and executed ". profile". Then created the files .xserverrc .xinitrc in my /home/Administrator home-dir. Then did the rebind stuff for *.dll and *.exe (the page said to rebind *.dll twice?! guess that the second *.dll actualy had to be *.exe) Then executed "start &". An xwindow came up and switched backroundcolor. Then the error occured on my console: [: ==: unknown operand Shortly after that I got a windows-dialogue-box with the msg: Title "ksplash.exe -Einstiegspunkt nicht gefunden" (translated(?) " ... - Entrypoint not found" Der Prozedureinstiegspunkt "XShmAttach" wurde in der DLL "libXext.dll" nicht gefunden. (translated(?): The prozessentrypoint ... could not be found int the DLL ...)

Hmmm...you might want to wait until Harold finishes the various little graphics libraries. I *think* he is working on libiconv, libungif, glib, gtk, and pango. It certainly would make ImageMagick more robust... Also, since Unisys' patent on lzw will be expiring soon, I'd reccommend compiling with the --enable-lzw flag (and who really cares about them anyways). Just my input on the subject...

For testing you could try to type "xhost + " on your windows machine (local xterm). Later you should either use Xauth or xhost with the machine you wish to allow.

There has been some discussion of this in the past, but it always ends in not wanting it because they say so. One might say why not /usr/X11R6/{qt2|qt3|kde2|kde3}? To that I say bah! The way it is supposed to be is /opt is for large or excessively significant addons to the system. This way one avoids cluttering up the X11R6 directory. Most distros use /opt for kde and Ralph currently uses it. Is there really a good reason why cygwin shouldn't use /opt for kde (possible gnome as well)? Feel free to disagree...

We had this on unixes. libXft.so.2.0 libXft.so.1.0 On Windows... libXft.dll (libXft.a) (bang)... We build Xft (v2) first, then Xft1 came along and blew libXft.dll away with v1 of the library.. I suspect the usage of the Xft1 (v1) library is pretty minimal on Windows so we won't be impacted. But it might be worth thinking of a solution here, we may have to call it libXft2.dll for our purposes and hack around with the .cf and Imakefiles. We could use the SOREV stuff here. Takers ? Alan.

You are right, of course, I had lost my mind and thought it ran out in 2002. Oh well, personally I don't care b/c I think Unisys is exploiting the patent unfairly, but oh well. By the way, did you enable threading or not?

They mean the bug with the GNU long name extension, which results in failed kdebase installation, we have spoken about and for which I have submitted a patch. Do you have applied this patch into cvs ? Regards Ralf From nwourms@yahoo.com Wed May 29 06:11:00 2002 From: nwourms@yahoo.com (Nicholas Wourms) Date: Wed, 29 May 2002 06:11:00 -0000 Subject: KDE 2.2.2 beta1 released In-Reply-To: <001f01c206f2$2dadc390$0200a8c0@lifelesswks> Message-ID: <20020529103021.71115.qmail@web21001.mail.yahoo.com> Robert, The same report as before. When it gets to the kdehelp file with a filename of ~83 characters, it goes into an infinite loop saying it has to move the file to make the directory. Didn't ralf submit a patch for this? I haven't seen it show up on the cygwin-apps-cvs mailing list... I'm on windows ME, so it is possible this is a Windows ME gotcha, I encourage you tho whip up a virtualpc session and see for yourself if you can. If not, I'll try my best to help, but C (not OOP C++) is the extent of my knowledge... Cheers, Nicholas P.S. - A suggestion I have for furture implementations would to have a "simulated" setup mode for debugging purposes. this way one can test install without actually installing (useful in my case as I have already custom compiled my kde2 packages). --- Robert Collins wrote: > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: cygwin-xfree-owner@cygwin.com > > [mailto:cygwin-xfree-owner@cygwin.com] On Behalf Of Stephan H.

The reason is, that for tar file name length over 100 characters the GNU long name extension is used, but unfortunally the setup.exe'S implementation contains a bug in this case. This should happen for all windows variants.

Kirsty, try to press NumLock once and see if it makes a difference. When the X Server gets out of sync with the status of NumLock funny things happen, especially things like the TWM popup menus do not work properly. Hope this helps.

I connect via XDMCP query. The login manager works fine but when KDE is starting up text in the status dialog (starting window manager etc) is garbled (every status message is written on top of the last message) and I get no icons, not on the desktop and not on the KDE toolbar. This is not a problem with other X server running on windows. Cygwin version is 1.3.10-1 and XFree is 4.2.0-1. My windows machine is running win2k with sp2. Is this a known problem?
