Hi, I just found this by searching on yahoo for 'cygipc'. I am posting it just in case its useful for others. http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/V1.1/cygipc/ http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/ is the home for Cygutils. However I haven't yet checked it I am hopeful it works. Amish.

[OT] Porting Linux GCC code to windows
by Amish Mehta 04 Oct '01

04 Oct '01

Hi, Is there a easy solution to port GCC code to windows? Can it be done in VC++ without much change in the code? I tried DJGPP, but its missing few API's(rather functions), like message queues etc. Anyone have an idea? Amish. P.S. lots of C related questions are being put up recently. Is it allowed here? ;-)

Sorry I forgot to mention Cygwin. I checked it out too. But it doesnt support msg queues either. Or did I miss something? Or they are named differently? Anyway thanks a lot for help. Amish.

Re: RE: [ILUG-BOM] transparent proxy

Hi Shahazad, Sorry that I didn't replied promptly(..I was offline for three days). You have to enable routing on the server.(If you are using linuxconf for configuration then you can do it by checking the checkbox in the Routing/Gateways option). You really don't have to enable ip_forwarding. The dns of the win98 client will be the ip of your proxy server(If you are running nameserver on the same machine and if you are not then the dns ip's provided by your ISP will work fine.) So in any case the dns order will be the proxyserver IP followed by the IPs provided by the ISP. Reply back if have any relative problem.

When you give MAIL FROM: someone(a)some.other.domain, the domain some.other.domain should be resolved by your local DNS or the DNS of your ISP. When you use some_other_login_on_my_linuxbox@localhost, sendmail knows that its a valid domain.

X bit depth adjustment
by Parul Mathur 01 Oct '01

I recently upgraded to the PCQ Linux 7.1 distribution. When I typed "startx" at the command line, the X server could not start. The errors recorded in the /var/log/XFree86.0.log are as follows: ----------- /var/log/XFree86.0.log ------------------- XFree86 Version 4.0.3 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6400) Release Date: 16 March 2001 Operating System: Linux 2.2.17-8smp i686 [ELF] Module Loader present (==) Log file: "/var/log/XFree86.0.log", Time: Sun Sep 30 23:26:06 2001 (==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/XF86Config-4" Markers: (--) probed, (**) from config file, (==) default setting, (++) from command line, (!!) notice, (II) informational, (WW) warning, (EE) error, (??) unknown.

Installation Problem - Sun Solaris 8
by Soumen Dass 01 Oct '01

01 Oct '01

Hi ! First of all, this is a dedicated Linux group... but with so many Unix gurus, with lots of hope I'm posting this SMS (Save My Soul)... I have 20 X 2 HDDs... I installed Win2K on first on a dual boot basis with Lin 7.1 (the PCQ one - I guess youv'e got the same)... I left 1 GB as FAT16 for sharing the data between the two... The second HDD is lying idle... I tried installing Sun Solaris 8 on the 2nd HDD... on the beginning of the intallation itself (before scanning for hardware devices), it returned this error : ----------------- Warning : ACPI Tables not in Reclaim Memory (next screen) Warning : Resource Conflict - both devices are added Non - ACPI device : PNP0C01 Memory : 9FC00 - 9FFFF, FEE0000-FEF7FFF, FEF8000-FEFFFFF, FEC0000-FEDFFFF, FFF00000-FFFFFFF ACPI device : PNP0C01 Memory : 9FC00-9FFFF, E0000-EFFFF, 40FFC00-FEFFFF -------------- After this, all the hardware devices are scanned and no conflict sign is marked against each device found... it proceeds as usual and comes at the screen where it's about to start the installation with the option "Solaris Jumpstart" after which it's supposed to show the starting dialog box of the installation... but the screen goes white with a stationery cursor blinking at the top and the keyboard stops responding... Strangely, Linux or Windows do not report any such conflict and moreover, Solaris 7 itself did'nt give any such error and got installed normally... In the BIOS the ACPI setting has value S1 (which as the BIOS help consumes more power but is safe...) I tried after changing it to S3, but with same outcome... I'll be grateful it you guys can shed some light on this...
