Mintty font problem

Mintty font problem

[Paul Ausbeck]

Cygwin setup just updated some older packages while installing a 
requested new component and now mintty does not recognize fonts 
properly. I was previously using lucinda-console but now some default 
font is being used. When I try to change the mintty font through the 
Options... dialog, the following message appears when I press Select...:

"There are no fonts installed.
  Open the Fonts folder from the Control Panel to install fonts."

I've looked through the cygwin announce history and mintty v2.3.3 
advertises some font support changes. I'm still running Windows XP on 
this machine and I'm wondering if it could be that this new version of 
mintty has not been tested on XP?

It hasn't, in fact. I'll check that.

This is fixed in the repository. Can you compile 
https://github.com/mintty/mintty/archive/master.zip and retry?

I'm having the same problem with a new XP install and cygwin, where it 
worked before.  Tried v 2.3.3, v2.3.5, and older archived v2.2.4 which 
certainly worked fine on previous XP machine.  Nothing works now, so not 
sure if it is mintty or XP setup.  Exact same XP install disk as previous.  
Different hardware.

One MS forum suggested to make sure that at least 1 printer was installed to 
make fonts visible in some applications.

Another suggested checking permissions on the font directory.

A cygwin forum suggested that there might be no monospace fonts installed 
and that mintty needs monospaced fonts only (make sense).

I've tried all the above, and no luck.

Something else suggested using tweakui to rebuild certain system folders.

I'll try that next.

Postinstall script errors on cygwin x86 install

[Tatsuro MATSUOKA]

Hello
I have tried to install Cygwin x86 in my netbook (win 10 32bit).

Take a look at var/log/setup.log.full and see if it gives any clues as 
to why the postinstall scripts are failing.  You could also try running 
them manually.

Please check /var/log/setup.log.full for what those errors were
specifically.  What is the user you are running setup under?

Don't try so much. As I had responded before, this has been fixed in the

Well, since that cygheap base address is changing, I guess this comes
down to BLODA.  What malware scanner are you using?  Can you exempt the
Cygwin installation from its actions?

But please try to install Cygwin into some other directory
that is not directly in the root of your drive (something like
C:\Freeware\Cygwin).

Achim.

cygcheck output as requested at http://cygwin.com/problems.html might 
help diagnose the problem:

"Run cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out and include that file *as an

I have forgetton to execute setup_x86-64 before gnuplot buliding.
Setup seems to upgrade the cygwin and gcc-5.3.0 (to 5.3.0-3).
After setup, the warning was disappeared.

multiple definition of `atan2l' on the current Cygwin

[Tatsuro MATSUOKA]

I have updated Cygwin_x86 and Cygwin_x86-64 today.
In building the gnuplot I have met the error of "multiple definition of `atan2l'".
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-cygwin/5.3.0/libstdc++.dll.a(d005836.o):(.text+0x0): multiple definition of `atan2l'
/usr/lib/../lib/libm.a(t-d000195.o):fake:(.text+0x0): first defined here
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile:777: recipe for target 'gnuplot.exe' failed
This did not occur yesterday.
Perhaps the latest change gcc-5.3.0 give this results.
At the moment a workaroud is :
LDFLAGS='-Wl,--allow-multiple-definition' \
at configure.

Tatsuro,
can you please stop to reply to different unrelated threads
instead of starting a new one ?

It mess up the archives
https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-04/threads.html

and mail reading.

Why aren’t you using the gnuplot package in the Cygwin package repository?

> I have met the error of "multiple definition of `atan2l’".

This is doubtless because that function was just added to Cygwin in 2.5.0.

Perhaps gnuplot is providing its own copy due to a naive platform test?  Have you tried a clean reconfigure and rebuild?

My problem is solved but I do not do detailed action.
Only things are done.
 1. Windows Update
 2. Reinstall Cygwin
Perhaps 1 or 2 and both is or are related to the solving issue.
Anyway, thanks for replies.
Tatsuro

My R is the Windows version of the program.

I am not sure what you mean by "the R that comes with Cygwin".  I do not think that cygwin comes with its own version R installed by default, like it default installs perl.  In fact, quickly skimming cygwin's setup-x86.exe list of available packages, I do not see an R in there.

I did not install any extra cygwin tools when I installed Rtools, as I already had a full cygwin installation.

In particular, the Rtools check box option to install the cygwin DLLs was left unchecked.

No, I read that message, and followed its instructions.

I should have mentioned in my original email that when I searched for cygwin1.dll, I found but once instance, the expected one in C:\cygwin\bin.

I followed the recommended advice from Duncan Murdoch: I installed only cygwin 32 bit, and put Rttols before cygwin in my PATH system env var.

I don't think you've solved your problem.

You are obviously not using the R that comes with Cygwin and in addition
some extra stuff that lives in C:\Rtools.  And apparently, the latter
comes with their own Cygwin-based tools and gets delivered with their
own cygwin1.dll.  Now, If you had read the error message you might have
found where that second cygwin1.dll lives (and likely still lives).  The
next time you'll call the tools in whatever order to make that other
(older) cygwin1.dll load first or have the programs in Rtools try to use
the newer cygwin1.dll you will have that very same problem again.

RE: Postinstall script errors on cygwin x86 install

[Brent]

Hello,

Tatsuro MATSUOKA started this thread
    https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-04/msg00193.html
back on Mon, 11 Apr 2016 05:18:30 +0900 (JST), which I stumbled across just now from a web search.

I recently encountered a very similar problem, and I think that I have a simple solution, so I wanted to followup.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

First some background:

--I was forced at work to downgrade from Win 7 to Win 10 spyware as a service a few weeks ago

--at the time of that downgrade, I had some problems with cygwin, so I did a clean install of 32 bit cygwin

--I vaguely recall a few post installation warnings at that time, but I did not note them; furthermore, cygwin seemed to subsequently work

--this morning, however, some R code failed that worked just 2 days ago (and was not changed in the interim...)
    --actually, it was the R C++ compiler of some critical methods that was failing, not R per se
    --the warning message was:
        Warning: running command 'C:/PROGRA~1/RRO/R-31~1.2/bin/x64/R CMD SHLIB file9d81bb03ccf.cpp 2> file9d81bb03ccf.cpp.err.txt' had status 1
              0 [main] make (1584) c:\Rtools\bin\make.exe: *** fatal error - cygheap base mismatch detected - 0xFCF408/0xDDF408.
        This problem is probably due to using incompatible versions of the cygwin DLL.
        Search for cygwin1.dll using the Windows Start->Find/Search facility
        and delete all but the most recent version.  The most recent version *should*
        reside in x:\cygwin\bin, where 'x' is the drive on which you have
        installed the cygwin distribution.  Rebooting is also suggested if you
        are unable to find another cygwin DLL.
              0 [main] make 2544 fork: child -1 - forked process 1584 died unexpectedly, retry 0, exit code 0xC0000142, errno 11

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After that error, I tried another clean reinstall of 32 bit cygwin.  My steps were simply:
    1) I deleted these entire directory trees:
        C:\cygwin
        <path to setup-x86.exe>\http%3a%2f%2fcygwin.mirror.constant.com%2f
    2) I reran setup-x86.exe

At the end of this reinstall, setup-x86.exe popped up a dialog that listed these post install errors:
    Package: 0/Perpetual
        0p_000_autorebase.dash exit code 2
        0p_update-info-dir.dash exit code 2
    Package: _/base-cygwin
        000-cygwin-post-install.sh exit code 254
    Package: _/coreutils
        coreutils.sh exit code 254
    Package: _/bash
        bash.sh exit code 254
    Package: _/base-files
        base-files-mketc.sh exit code 254
        base-files-profile.sh exit code 254
    Package: _/ca-certificates
        ca-certificates.sh exit code 254
    Package: _/lynx
        lynx.sh exit code 254
    Package: _/man-db
        man-db.sh exit code 254
    Package: _/mintty
        mintty.sh exit code 254

That list is very similar to Tatsuro's.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To make a long story short, the cure for my post install errors was to do another clean install that included CLEANING THE REGISTRY AS WELL.

In particular, these are the exact reinstall steps that worked for me:
    1) delete these entire directory trees:
        C:\cygwin
        <path to setup-x86.exe>\http%3a%2f%2fcygwin.mirror.constant.com%2f
    2) run regedit and ENTIRELY delete BOTH of these registry trees:
        HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cygwin
        HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygwin
    3) restart your computer
    4) rerun setup-x86.exe


The above is an abbreviated version of the steps described in    https://cygwin.com/faq/faq.html#faq.setup.uninstall-all
(I did not need to do the other steps, since my installation had nothing fancy like cygwin services running.)

When I did the above, setup-x86.exe ran to completion with no errors whatsoever.  Furthermore my cygwin install seems to work fine (as does the R code failed this morning).

Hope this helps someone else in the future.
