how to install patch

how to install patch

[Tim Gong]

I have installed cygwin 1.3.2 dated 5/20/01, and there have been several
patches to pthread API (which is in libc.a), can anyone tell me how I can
update my installation with the new patches? Could you return to this mail
as well as the cygwin list? Thanks.

Tim

InternetGetConnectedState

[Ian A. Mason]

I am curious as to why InternetGetConnectedState and related
functions are not in the cygwin wininet.h. Surely these
are common enough to warrant inclusion, is there some
deep and meaningful reason they are not there?

It's probably because we're just plain mean.

Best bet would be to wait some days until cygwin-1.3.3 is released.

Second choice is to install a snapshot from the mirrors snapshot directory.
there are two balls, one with cygwin1.dll and a second with all the stuff.

Third possibility is to get the current source (with cvs) and build it.

Does anyone have any idea when 1.3.3 will be released?

Once I get cygwin-inst-20010901.tar.bz2 and bunzip2 it, do I extract the
files and
overwrite the original directory?

There is a FAQ entry "Can I use setup to install snapshots?" (which I
will probably rename to "How do I install snapshots") that should
tell you everything you need.  If it's not complete, let us know.
(The list, not me personally.)

Cheers,
David

I'll probably be changing the way that snapshots are generated RSN so
this FAQ entry may well become obsolete.

Re: how to install patch

[Tim Gong]

What I meant was I followed the instructions of the FAQ to install snapshot
of 9/1/2001, the snapshot is supposed to have the pthread_equal() fix, the
test program indicates the fix is not installed. So there must be something
wrong with the installation instructions.

Oh, I see.  Well, if you can tell me what's wrong with the
instructions, I'll change them.

But let's not make a big thread out of this, OK?  As Chris pointed
out, these instructions might not remain valid for long.

Thanks,
David
