difficulties with snapshots

difficulties with snapshots

[EXCOFFIER Denis]

Hi,

1) It seems that we have management problems with the snapshots.
The last one (indicated 2011-05-04 01:02:18 UTC) belongs in
fact to 2011-05-05, and it is more recent than the preceding
snapshot (indicated yesterday 2011-05-04 06:xx:xx UTC), which has
now disappeared (diffs are shown against 20110502).

In the past, at least for 2011-03-09 and for 2011-03-23 already, two
snapshots were produced on the same day and the first one in the day
has disappeared.

If possible, make the date indicated in the snapshot page to be
the same as the date indicated in `uname -a'. Or otherwise to
minimize discrepancies.


2) More importantly, i was not able to compile snapshots since about
beginning of May, with an error: wchar.h not found (in lsaauth).
The snapshot 20110420 has compiled correctly at that time (say: 21/4);
but i was not able to recompile it recently. You must know that
i update the cygwin packages every day, therefore the problem probably
comes from a recently added package.

OK we have received the new mingw-gcc... from Charles Wilson, but it
would normally not impact us since mingw and GCC-3 are not used in this
case (i use gcc4, the default).


3) And last, the last snapshot (20110504 01:02:18 UTC) does not work for me,
see eg
% /usr/bin/flex /dev/null
...does not finish
%


Regards,

Denis Excoffier.

I have no problems to build lsaauth or, FWIW, the entire Cygwinhn tree.

I can reproduce it and I have a local patch which fixes it for me,
but it's not ready for prime time.

That has been fixed.  Thanks for the heads up.

and it is more recent than the preceding

That's how it works.  Only one snapshot per day.

Not gonna happen.  The date indicates the time when the file was
uploaded.  Having it reflect the uname would require unpacking a tar
file and inspecting cygwin1.dll.  I'm not interested in going to that
amount of work.

Snapshots are provided "as-is".  If you can't compile it then PTC.

This should be fixed in... the latest snapshot.

Thanks.  I applied this patch together with another patch which gets
rid of the #include <wchar.h> entirely.

Please consider this hideous patch thoughtfully, it solves my "wchar.h not
found" problem in lsaauth, and the full cygwin tree now compiles ok  
like before.
