Re: Please try the 6/1 Cygwin DLL snapshot -- this may be the one

[Rick Rankin]

Just thought I'd offer some feedback. I've been using the 6/1 snapshot for a
couple of days now with no problems. All of my mounts are textmode and I've
seen none of the problems that appeared in the 1.1.1 release.

The 6-1 snapshot looks to be the best one yet.  I've compiled CVS; a
cross-compilation suite including the latest GCC 2.95.3 pre-release sources
from CVS, the latest binutils snapshot, and the newlib-1.8.2;
aclocal/automake/autoconf/make (which were built a long time ago, pre-4/7)
all seem to work fine with no /r/n issues on text mounts (which I have on
everything except /usr/bin and /usr/lib).

I say let 'er rip.

Chris -
  -20000601 looks good to me. I haven't done my favorite torture test
(recompiling perl) but I got no unexpected behaviors with any other
tests (fun with sed, fun with awk, etc). My machine is NT4.0sp6a.

Please try the 6/1 Cygwin DLL snapshot -- this may be the one

[Chris Faylor]

The 2000-Jun-01 snapshot should fix any lingering problems with text
mode reads or writes being performed in binary.  It is available here:

ftp://sourceware.cygnus.com/pub/cygwin/snapshots/cygwin1-20000601.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 cygwin1-20000601.dll.gz

    4) copy cygwin1.dll cygwin1.dll.safe

    5) copy cygwin1-20000601.dll cygwin1.dll

    6) Check any failing applications for correct operation.

Note that the setup utility mounts your root in "binmode" by default.
This DLL does not change that.  It only fixes the problems with reading
files in text mode that were most clearly illustrated by make and sed.

It should also fix a couple of other problems reported here in the last
week.  Check the ChangeLog for more info:

http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/snapshots/winsup-src-20000601.tar.gz/winsup/cygwin/ChangeLog

If there is not too much grumbling about this snapshot, it will probably
become the next net release of the Cygwin DLL.

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.

Thanks,
cgf
