What happens if you cd to c:\msys\1.0\bin from a MS command shell and

Doesn't MSVC normally store the debugging information in a separate .pdb 
file anyway?

Linking GCC code using the MSVC linker is generally not supported, so you 
should use the "gcc" command to link the program. I am not saying that it is 
impossible, just that it is not the intended use of MinGW so IMHO "you're on 
your own".

Yes. To get a proper debug build you should use the "-g" flag with GCC, and 
to get a release build you can use "-s" when linking or use the "strip" 
command on the .exe you have already built. If you use neither of these 
flags there will still be a certain amount of debugging information. Also, 
you shouldn't try comparing the runtime performance unless you are using the 
proper optimisation flags with GCC.

I'm sure this is the result of mixing compilers.

First, I am not sure what the problem is.

	Have you recently updated (Windows Update) your Operating System?

	If so, and I am only able to speculate, then this really does not sound at all like it has 
anything to do with the actual functioning of Msys itself...here is my theory:

	MS is notorious for disabling any and every OS or shell that was not included as part of 
their Operating Systems to begin with.  Afaik, it has only gotten worse since the introduction 
of .Net.

	If what you are referencing here is the .Net OS, then it appears that .Net is simply not 
allowing Msys (sh & rxvt) to run.  It is, however, allowing you to launch what sounds like an 
MS-DOS console (Virtual DOS Machine?)

	If you have Admin power, you may need to change your user account to, at the very 
least, an administrative level of power (system level security/ownership).

	Do you know if this comes up when you are running Cygwin?

What is about the difference in the size of the builded EXE-files?

I compile with MSVC a Project that is 664KB (DebugVersion).
Than I compile the same with g++ and link it with the MSVC linker. It is
5,5 MB big?

Why? How can I solve this problem? Is there a debug-/release-version in
g++ to?

If I trie to execute the 5MB exe there is an error-msg. "DDL-File .DLL
not found". !?

Hi,
Is it anyone who can give me directions on how to troubleshoot msys. I have 
had it running on my Windows.net server earlier. Recently, for some unknown 
reason, it does not want to start any msys programs anymore. I have 
downloaded the latest binaries from sourceforge and reinstalled both mingw 
and msys in fresh directories. Mingw (gcc, ar...) seems to work just fine 
but msys don't.

When I try to start the rxvt using the desktop icon it starts a black 
console window which hangs without any output. If I try to start any other 
of the exe:s, including sh.exe, from a cmd.exe shell they just return the 
shell prompt without starting.

In my path I have c:\msys\1.0\bin;c:\mingw\bin;... before anything else. The 
dlls in msys\1.0\bin are libperl.dll, libW11.dll, msys-1.0.dll, 
msysltdl-3.dll. I have not changed any configuration files after install. I 
have also tried installing the msysdtk to see if that corrected anything but 
without any luck. I also have Cygwin installed, but not in the path.

Anyone who has any idea how to roubleshoot it further? Please!!

Best regards,
// Roger Lindholm

The problem is the pty emulation that rxvt uses.  If you use sh directly 
in a command window instead of the rxvt terminal window then the problem 
doesn't exist.  Until the pty problems are resolved a _flushall() is 
necesaary if you use rxvt.

Earnie.

I saw following problem has been stated before:
First all scanf() statements are executed before any printf() statements. 
_flushall before scanf() is a solution.
1) How can I avoid using _flushall before all scanf().

2) This problem may be related: In my cmd in Windows XP all printf()
statements are skipped unless a block of printf() statements is ended with 
some scanf() statement. How can I make cmd to show all printf() even without 
scanf() at the end.

Thanks.

Hi Earnie.

When using MSYS I miss the following three (minor) things the most:

1. texi2html - for producing Windows friendly docs
   (The latest version at
http://www.mathematik.uni-kl.de/~obachman/Texi2html/
    builds and installs OK under MSYS)

2. which - I seem to to use this often.
   (I call Cygwin's version)

3. a version of Bash which understands ">&" redirection.
   (I do it the "hard" way with "2>&").

Cheers

Mike Thomas.

Oops,

if EXIST bin\nul cd bin

With the 2/17 snapshot that should read ``if EXIST bin\nul cd /bin''. 
This will fix your W98 problem.

	First time I have ever seen it.  Also, first time I have ever tried to use msysdvlpr under 
win98.

	That was the one thing I didn't try  ;-)

	Thanks.

	Ok.  Well, it did work.

	I looked at the msys.bat and it appears that the following line is the culprit:

	if EXIST bin cd bin

	Perhaps that needs to be:

	if EXIST bin cd /bin

			....?

	Well, after testing this (modifying msys.bat), it didn't make a difference.  I even tried the 
old windows standby "\" to no avail.

	For the moment, I guess I will use the workaround you suggested, Luke

Is this a new problem or have you seen it before?

This script is:

cd /
cmd //c start /msys.bat MSYS

To allow this to work on Win9x, /bin/cmd is also a script:

`echo $COMSPEC | sed -e 's#\\\\#/#g'` "$@"

First try something like this:

cd /bin
cmd //c start /msys.bat MSYS

If that works, the "cd bin" in msys.bat doesn't work for some reason. You 
might also like to try this to verify that msys.bat is run with the correct 
current directory:

cd /
cmd //c cd

It should output something like c:\msys\1.0

BTW, you can easily work around this by making a copy of the shortcut you 
normally use to start MSYS, then modify it by adding the parameter "MSYS" 
after "msys.bat ". You can then use the shortcut instead of typing 
msysdvlpr.

Luke

Using the latest release of Msys (RC).

When entering "msysdvlpr" at prompt:

Cannot find the rxvt.exe or sh.exe binary -- aborting.
Press any key to continue . . .

	Apparently, msys.bat can't find rxvt.exe or sh.exe.

	Entering the commands found in msysdvlpr manually makes no difference.

	Paul G.

Yes, works fine. Thanks!

I've just uploaded a new snapshot to resolve an problem with the mount 
command.  I'm also trying to pour some ``Raid'' on a bug in the malloc 
routines; so, I've added some filters to the free() method.  You may 
download from
http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/MSYS-1.0.9-2003.02.17-1.exe?download for 
your evaluation.

Have Fun,
Earnie.

Minimal SYStem
Version 1.0.9
http://www.mingw.org/msys.shtml

Snapshot-2003.02.17-1

The following changes were crafted for this release:
* Work around an odd malloc routine bug which was causing stackdump of 
sh.exe.
* Change test for bin directory to bin\nul in msys.bat.
* Remove a resource leak from the path conversion routine.
* Correct an anomily with exectuable binaries that are dependent on 
msys-1.0.dll.
* Debug malloc routines, added filters in assignments of pointers in the 
free() function.

This should be resolved with
http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/MSYS-1.0.9-2003.02.17-1.exe?download

Luke,

Thanks for the pointer, it put me on the right track.  After looking at the
provided example, and numerous others on the internet, I had limited success
with fixing my "delete" key, but couldn't get Home, End, Ctrl-Left, and
Ctrl-Right to work as I wanted.  After some experimenting, I realized that
my Keyboard probably wasn't generating the expected key sequences to match
the provided mappings.  I wasn't sure of the *correct* way to see exactly
*what* sequence my keys were generating, but the following script got me
what I needed:

read keyseq
echo $keyseq | cat -tv

After getting the proper key sequences for the 4 keys in question, they now
do the right thing on the Msys command-line.  My final ~/.inputrc file looks
like this:

# --- Home key
"\e[7~": beginning-of-line
# --- End key
"\e[8~": end-of-line
# --- Ctrl-Left
"\eOd": backward-word
# --- Ctrl-Right
"\eOc": forward-word
# --- Delete key
"\e[3~": delete-char

It works like a champ!

Thanks again,

Jeff

You have installed bison to the wrong directory. The MSYS documentation 
states that only executables that are dependent on msys-1.0.dll are to be 
installed in /bin. Try removing it and installing it in your MinGW bin 
directory or somewhere else on your PATH.

What bison version?

BoydE@DU216771 ~
$ bison --version
bison (GNU Bison) 1.875
Written by Robert Corbett and Richard Stallman.

BoydE@DU216771 ~
$ bison --help
GNU bison generates parsers for LALR(1) grammars.

Usage: c:\mingw\bin\bison.exe [OPTION]... FILE

If a long option shows an argument as mandatory, then it is mandatory
for the equivalent short option also.  Similarly for optional arguments.

hi

I've got such problem. My shell (sh from msys-1.0.8) treats command bison as
a special command and doesn't pass any argument to it.:
<example>
$ bison --help
d:\msys\bin\bison.exe: missing operand after `d:\msys\bin\bison.exe'
Try `d:\msys\bin\bison.exe --help' for more information.
</example>
My bison works well when invoked by MSW$ original shell "cmd.exe".

Is there anybody with the same problem ? I don't have time to read sources
of msys.

Thanks in advance.

I've gotten used to using the default keys ^A, ^E, ^B, ^F but go here:

http://jrfonseca.dyndns.org/projects/gnu-win32/documentation/chm/index.html

and get the bashref manual. It contains documentation for readline including 
an example inputrc file for remapping these keys (section 8.3.3). I haven't 
tried it yet, though.

Well, hmm...

I found that I was running an older build of mount.exe.  I also found 
that I had some anomily in my msysdvlpr build environment, that produced

faulty binaries.  I'll upload a new snapshot Monday, I've gotta spend 
time with the family this weekend.
