perl 5.8 / autoheader issue

perl 5.8 / autoheader issue

[Conrad Scott]

I just updated my system to use (the experimental) perl 5.8 and
I've run into a problem w/ autoheader that seems to be a perl
issue.

(I'm also running the latest cygwin DLL from CVS in case that's
relevant; and I'm on win2k SP3; cygcheck output attached.)



scottc@BABEL ~
$ autoheader --version
C:\cygwin\bin\perl.exe: *** unable to remap
C:\cygwin\lib\perl5\5.8.0\cygwin-multi-64int\auto\IO\IO.dll to
same address as parent -- 0x21960000
*** continuing from debugger call
5501910 [main] perl 1656 sync_with_child: child 1860(0x150) died
before initialization with status code 0x1
5522502 [main] perl 1656 sync_with_child: *** child state child
loading dlls
*** continuing from debugger call
/usr/bin/autoheader: line 231:  1656 Aborted                 (core
dumped) ${AUTO_DEVEL}/bin/autoheader --version
--------------------------------------------------------
Autoconf version 2.13
--------------------------------------------------------
This is autoheader-wrapper, which will hand off execution
to one of the two real versions listed above, depending
on the contents of configure.in/configure.ac.  Since the
wrapper was called from within a directory in which those
files are not found, this generic 'version' message is
displayed.



The problem is intermittent but can be triggered by running
"autoheader --version" in a directory w/o any configure.in script
or whatever.  The particular DLL involved changes from crash to
crash tho' is alway from the perl lib hierarchy.

Note the hand-waving here: I don't understand the auto* stuff at
all; all I know is that this just happened in the bzlib2 directory
while configuring a cygwin build from scratch and I can re-create
it in an empty directory.  YMMV.

Other than running from a locally built cygwin DLL, that otherwise
seems fine, this problem just turned up on a clean install of the
latest perl 5.8 via setup.

For the moment I'll go back to the previous release (5.6?) so this
isn't a big problem for me.

Cheers,

// Conrad

Sounds like you have been bitten by the rebase bug.

I, too, am having problems with perl-5.8.0 and autoheader.  When perl
gets ready to evaluate one of the autoheader perl scripts, it craps
out.  I'm running the same cygwin dll as Scott, except I'm on WinME. 
However, the error I get it doesn't seem like a rebase problem:


assertion "!wait_sig_inited" failed: file
"../../../../src/winsup/cygwin/sigproc.cc", line 656
...
[Repeated 100+ times]

Cheers,
Nicholas

I have no problems with the latest release of cygwin DLL and Perl on
NT4 and W2K.  Also running e.g. autoheader doesn't make problems.

Hmmm, looks not like a Perl problem to me.  Could someone try to
rebuild perl to see if this would change the behaviour?

I'm getting the same error messages on one Windows 98 machine
with the cygwin 5.8.0 build.

afld-2@user ~
$ perldoc perlfunc
    621 [main] perl 478893 sync_with_child: child -611149(0x138) died before initialization with status code 0x1
    804 [main] perl 478893 sync_with_child: *** child state child loading dlls
5587110 [main] perl 478893 sync_with_child: child -610901(0x144) died before initialization with status code 0x1
5587181 [main] perl 478893 sync_with_child: *** child state child loading dlls

... etc.

I don't have this problem on other machines, I think.

Sounds like you have multiple versions of cygwin on the system.
