I did not test the new cygwin1-20000524.dll but cygwin1-20000525.dll
is ok now.

Thanks
  Norbert

I don't know exactly when it happened. It worked some time ago 
(with snapshots about 1.1.0 ) - last time I was rebuilding libstdc++. 
latest libstdc++.a i found in my disk is dated May 10 - as I remember
then there was no problems.

libstdc++-v3 configure hangs again. An old problem with signals.
This is a  piece of code which hangs and  a strace log.

#include <unistd.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <setjmp.h>

static jmp_buf	env;
int signo = SIGSEGV;

static void sig_handler(int sig)

    static sigset_t x;
    signal (sig, sig_handler);
    sigemptyset (&x);

ok, changing to the son of snapshot 5/24 did fix both these problems

somewhat interestingly, the cvs problem was *only* fixed if I mounted
/, /usr/bin, and /usr/lib in textmode rather than binmode - my home (and
hence my .cvspass file) are in /home/turner, which is texmode, but the
sandbox in question is in /usr/local - I don't understand the implications
of this, but it doesn't matter too much to me, since I'd rather stay with
textmode mounts anywat - but I thought I'd mention it

thanks,

When did you download the snapshot.  DJ indicated that he'd updated it
later in the day today.

Please try this with the latest snapshot.

[snip]

unfortunately, it does not fix the problems I was seeing - I still have
to go back to the 5/2 snapshot to get things to work

two manifestations of the problems I see are that cvs keeps thinking I
need to log in, and makefiles that work with 5/2 and previous suddenly
do stuff like:

~/LANL/JTpk/990816/JTpack$ gmake distclean
: No such file or directoryls
'.  Stop.ile_diste to make target `../Makeutils

my mount table looks (in part) like this:

~$ mount
Device              Directory           Type         Flags
E:\Local\cygwin\bin  /usr/bin            user         textmode
E:\Local\cygwin\lib  /usr/lib            user         textmode
E:\Local\cygwin     /                   user         textmode
E:\Home             /home               user         textmode
C:                  /win2k              user         textmode

I tried with /, /usr/bin, and /usr/lib as binmode just for the heck of
it, and it didn't change anything

let me know if there's anything you'd like me to try...

I see no change here from the circa 5/3 snapshot.  Example: autoconf no
longer works properly, all I get (after a successful aclocal and
automake -a) is 'NONE:0: m4: Expecting line feed in frozen file', where
everything worked fine before.  I also see the same problems reported by
Norbert Schulze.  Something's definitely out of whack still...

That said, the overall quality and usefulness of Cygwin never ceases to
amaze me.  A major 'thank you' to all who have contributed to the project.

I guess that you can consider me reckless because I've been using
cygwin1-20000524.dll all day already.

Anyway, it fixes the mv problem that I reported in "Strange Cygwin
1.1.1 mv Behavior."  Since I use binary mount exclusively, I probably
won't be able to comment on the text mode fixes.  Unfortunately, I
saw one bash (2.04) crash running a shell script that I have run many
times before.  When tried it again (and again) I could not get it to
crash again.

Hmm - I still seem to have a problem with CRLF endings in a .bcrc file on a
text mount.  I also ran into similar warnings from sed while trying to
re-run ".configure" on bc.  My .bcrc was created with NT-Emacs using the
default CRLF encoding.  Manually cleaning up the file to just use LF
continues to fix the problem with this latest DLL.  Reverting back to the
1.1.0 DLL works fine with the CRLF version of the file.

Subject: Need help. Latest snapshot may be next cygwin net release.


I would appreciate it if any adventurous souls would try out the
latest cygwin snapshot by downloading this:

ftp://sourceware.cygnus.com/pub/cygwin/snapshots/cygwin1-20000524.dll.gz

This file should be copied to your /bin directory.  There should also
be a cygwin1.dll in this directory.  If there isn't, you're in the wrong
directory.

Once it's downloaded please:

    1) Terminate all running cygwin applications

    2) In the command shell, cd to the MS-DOS equivalent of your /bin
       directory, e.g.,
	d:
	cd cygwin\bin

    3) gzip -d cygwin1-20000524.dll.gz

    4) copy cygwin1.dll cygwin1.dll.safe

    5) copy cygwin1-20000524.dll cygwin1.dll

    6) Check any failing applications for correct operation.

This snapshot should fix all of the "\r\n" line ending problems that
were in cygwin-1.1.1.  It should also fix problems with rxvt on Windows
95.

Just to be clear, fixing "\r\n" line endings means that if you are in a
directory that has been mounted using the "-t" option then makefiles
should work as they used to in cygwin B20 and cygwin 1.1.0.  This DLL
fixes problems with text mode reads.

This DLL does not change anything about the way that the setup.exe
program previously mounted your root directory.  setup.exe mounts the
root directory as "binary".  If this is not acceptable you still have
to mount any directory containing files with MS-DOS style line endings
with the "-t" option.

So, if you have a directory called d:\src and it has all of your
sources in it, and they all have the carriage-return/line-feed endings
you have to:

	mount -t -f d:\src /src

This will cause files in d:\src and any subdirectories of d:\src to be
interpreted in text mode.

If you do try out this DLL, I would appreciate hearing success or failure
reports here in the cygwin@sourceware.cygnus.com mailing list.  Do not
send them to me personally.

If everything seems to be working well, I'll release a new version of
the DLL over the weekend.
