Basic Questions

Basic Questions

[Patrick Ohnewein]

Sorry for this question, but I didn't find anything related in the docs
neither in the archives of the mailing list.

Now is there some doc for cygwins-bash B20 available somewhere. I need
to set bell-style=visible, because the beeping annoyes my coworkers. Now
I tried to create an .inputrc file in my home dir, which seams to not be
read. performing set bell-style=visible doesn't work, doing it in the
.bashrc (which get's read from my HOME dir) doesn't work neither. So I
tried to set the environment in the startup .bat-file. But it seams the
shell doesn't care about the env var.

How can I deactivate this horror bell :-)

Another question how can I change LS_COLOR for ls, where do I get docs
related dircolors

Where should I perform calls to bind, to change keymapping, because
.inputrc doesn't get read and calling bind in .bashrc doesn't have
effect. And may be a BUG in bind:

# bind -p > ~/bindings
# bind -f ~/bindings

sometimes does output that the file bindings doesn't exist and when it
doesn't output any error message it doesn't change bindings.

I am only able to change bindings from command line, how should I make
them persistent?

thanks in advance

Regular bash docs will do here.  There's nothing special about the Cygwin
version.  I think .inputrc is only read for login shells (I could very 
well be wrong about this).  You must make sure your .login file is BINARY
format.

Re: Basic Questions

[Patrick Ohnewein]

Yea now it seams I found a way to nearly accomplish what I need.

I did set my mounts now in a very basic manner, like mounts are thought
to be set :-)

And for the rest I use links.

this are my mounts
Device           Directory           Type        Flags
G:               /G                  native      text!=binary
D:               /D                  native      text!=binary
C:               /                   native      text!=binary

And here my links
lrw-r--r--   1 544      everyone       24 Apr 17 19:58 java ->
/G/jdev/Java/
lrw-r--r--   1 544      everyone       46 Apr 17 20:01 jdbc ->
/G/jdev/Java/it/prodata/tools/jdbc/
lrw-r--r--   1 544      everyone       19 Apr 17 19:59 jdev -> /G/jdev/
-r--r--r--   1 544      everyone   156496 Mar  1 15:52 ntldr
lrw-r--r--   1 544      everyone       30 Apr 17 19:59 patch ->
/G/jdev/JPatch_122/
lrw-r--r--   1 544      everyone       35 Apr 17 19:59 pro ->
/G/jdev/Java/it/prodata/
drwxr-xr-x   2 544      everyone        0 Apr 17 22:19 tmp
drwxr-xr-x   3 544      everyone        0 Mar  7 15:31 users
lrw-r--r--   1 544      everyone       54 Apr 17 20:01 zeiterfassung ->
/G/jdev/Java/it/prodata/gest/zeiterfassung/

Now it seams to work nearly! My problem is is I am in a linked directory
say
patiii:/pro$
and I start my editor (a Win32 editor called CodeWride by Premia) using
a cmd-Batch (didn't try with a bash script, have less experience with
it) I am just able to give files as parameter in a reletive fashion:
patiii:/pro$e Test.java
patiii:/pro$e ../Hallo.java

But not absolute fashions:
patiii:~$e /pro/Hallo.java


I think this is because the Win app doesn't know anything about the
links and the bash doesn't make the translation, could I activate link
translation or something?

thanks larry for all ur help with the mounting problems!

Ohh someone knows where I can get ncurses, I couldn't find it nowhere
even not on the new util mirror www.franken.de. Would like the clear
command for bash!

The site you have to look for is ftp.franken.de or www.hirmke.de -
please don't mix them up. www.franken.de is a completely different
server!
Now as for ncurses: You can get version 4.2

     - on ftp.franken.de
     - in /pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/porters/Hirmke_Michael/B20
     - as ncurses-4.2-cygwin-b20-bin.tar.gz
     - or ncurses-4.2-cygwin-b20-bin.zip

It should work for 1.0 and 1.1, too!

ncurses5.0 is available for 1.0 & 1.1 at http://cygutils.netpedia.net ,
or the ftp mirror:
      - on ftp.franken.de
      - in
/pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/porters/Wilson_Charles_S/V1.1/

Don't know why you can't find it in the archives.  See
http://www.eGroups.com/message/gnu-win32/19503?&start=16756 for reference.

I know that it can be done.

You should be able to find all documents for FSF GNU supported software at
http://www.gnu.org .

The problem is the file format.  ~/.inputrc does get read.

basic questions

[sed]

Hi,

I've some Question :

	Is it possible to use b18 on nt3.5 and if its possible
	which functionality I would miss ?

	Why isn't it possible to use a dll, which was imported
	with dlltool, without explicit linking of libcygwin.a ?
	Without linking libcygwin.a I get no error at compile-time,
	but an exception at run-time.

	Can someone precisly explain how to build a correct
	library ,,libfoo.a" for a DLL ,,foo.dll", 
	which only exists in binary form ? 
	(please all the steps)
	
	Which options should be provided later to gcc for the prog
	which will use functions inside of this DLL ?
	
Thanks in advance !!
