[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.

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.

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...

mail system queries
by abhijeet 30 Sep '01

30 Sep '01

hi i am using sendmail with fetchmail with procmail and pine......for my mail system on my linux box. 1.> Inspired by Philip's SMTP howto....i tried the following: i telnetted the port 25 on localhost......and tried to mail a message to my login....that's "abhije" now,i understand that the sendmail daemon identifies me as abhije@localhost(when i telnet the port 25)-- i get "IDENT:abhije@localhost.localdomain" as part of the response to HELO. when i say...... MAIL FROM:someone@some.other.domain ....it responds that the sender's address should resolve.....what does that mean??? i thought because it sends mail ......it should accept all sender addresses!!! At the same time.....if i say MAIL FROM:some_other_login_on_my_linuxbox@localhost the mail is sent....even if "some_other_login_on_my_linuxbox" knows nothing about it!!! my argument is that if it knows that i am abhije@localhost...and hence does not accept someone@some.other.domain....how does it accept mail from some_other_login??? i am new to sendmail..and smtp..could somebody help???? i know i could use something less scarier than sendmail.....but i need to know what's happening here...... 2.> Also is there some other mail client that has the address book facility???....i just need a break from pine..... 3.>I also have a yahoo inbox.....but the yahoo server doesn't flush the mail when polled!!!! could somebody explain that???? (yes..i have registered for pop3 access) bye abhijeet

Reminder: ACM Seminar on LaTex, Fri 28/9
by Durgesh D Rao 28 Sep '01

28 Sep '01

Dear Colleague, This is to remind you about the following event. Regards, - Durgesh, on behalf of ACM Mumbai ACM Seminar Friday, September 28, 2001 - 6:30 p.m. Title: LaTeX: A Document Preparation System Speaker: Vivek Mehta (NCST) Venue: Lecture Theatre, NCST, Juhu Abstract: LaTeX is a generic typesetting system that uses TeX as its formatting engine. It is most often used for medium-to-large technical or scientific documents, but it can be used for almost any form of publishing. LaTeX is especially great in a heterogeneous computing environment since it is not linked to any computer architecture or operating system. LaTeX is very flexible, easy to use, easy to learn and at the same time it allows professional typographic quality. UNIX users are fond of it, as it follows the ideology of most tools which were originally made for UNIX, i.e. a bit difficult to start with, but very fast (and smooth) once you get to know it. LaTeX has nowadays regained a lot of popularity irrespective of the fact that you have applications like MSWord around. This has a lot to do with the advent and the amazing spread of Linux installations in India and abroad. About the Speaker: Vivek Mehta works as a scientist in the KBCS division of NCST. He is interested in Natural Language Technology, Data Structures, tools for the UNIX platform and everything else :). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Durgesh D Rao (DDR) | Email: durgesh(a)ncst.ernet.in Research Scientist, KBCS Division | Ph: 6201606x372(w), 7563437(r) National Centre for Software Technology | Fax: +91-22-6210139 Gulmohar Rd 9, Juhu, Mumbai 400049, INDIA.| Web: www.ncst.ernet.in/~durgesh ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Most importantly, you have to do some calculations regarding how much space to be alloted to each user. 5 branches and 60 per branch i.e max 350 users including misc. accounts. Thats not much. Partition /home and keep the max space on this partition so that future need may also suffice.

AFAIK, you can't ... unless someone decides to write a utility which will do just that. The best way is to create an rpm out of the tarball - it's rather straightforward once you get the hang of how to create a spec-file. The only hard part is creating the list of files in it, which specifies what goes into the package. But that can be done by inspecting the output of "make -n install" in the tarball.

Assuming you still have the build trees with you, create a list of files installed using "make -n install". Use this list to create a spec file. Write the file so that rpm does nothing during the configure and build stages. The only important part is the files section, and somehow it must be able to figure out where the build tree is! Create rpm from the spec file and then do an "rpm -ivh --force" Anybody got better ideas? Maybe it is possible to use the rpm development library to write an app that can directly modify the rpm database? It could take a spec file as input and use the info to update the database ... maybe the library has a perl module as well ...

Reminder: ACM Seminar on Firewalls/IPfileter, Fri 21/9
by Durgesh D Rao 20 Sep '01

20 Sep '01

Dear Colleague, This is to remind you about the following event. Regards, - Durgesh, for ACM Mumbai ACM Seminar Friday, September 21, 2001 - 6:30 p.m. Title: Firewalls, simple & easy: IPFilter Speaker: Vivek Nallur (NCST) Venue: Lecture Theatre, NCST, Juhu Abstract: "The internet was created as an experiment. The experiment has failed" - Tsutomu Shimomura The Internet is currently a system administrator's nightmare, what with snoopy folks perennially sniffing around the place looking for systems to break into and steal the 'family silver'. What began as a dream for scientists, researchers and artists, has become a nightmare for the knights in geek's clothing. One of the more potent weapons at the disposal of these knights is the firewall. Its etymological roots unknown, the current usage stems from Steve Bellovin's email to Phil Karn regarding some security device. The first recorded usage in print is in Stafford and Garfinkel's book on Practical UNIX Security, published in 1990. Simply put, a firewall is a system that enforces an access control policy between two networks. This seminar explores the installation and usage of a commonly used firewall, IPFilter. About the Speaker: Vivek Nallur passes under the guise of a scientist in the KBCS division at NCST. He pretends to be pre-occupied with issues in Data Mining, Chaos Theory and Genetic Algorithms, whilst ogling at his beloved computer all day. He's passionate about girls, patterns and reading (in no particular order). -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Durgesh D Rao (DDR) | Email: durgesh(a)ncst.ernet.in Research Scientist, KBCS Division | Ph: 6201606x372(w), 7563437(r) National Centre for Software Technology | Fax: +91-22-6210139 Gulmohar Rd 9, Juhu, Mumbai 400049, INDIA.| Web: www.ncst.ernet.in/~durgesh ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Automation link on smbd.org
by Anand 18 Sep '01

18 Sep '01

Hello Automation fans, The link on browser SCADA did not work on Netscape 4.77 and requires IE5.5 or Netscape 6. There was some problem with IE as nested ID's were probably not supported. This has been Corrected using a different logic, which has also speded up operations. However older browsers may not be suporting 'getElementById' command. Anand

The Browser does not support Frames in the conventional way as supported by netscape 4.77 or IE5.5 or Mozilla 0.7 and higher versions of these browsers. Since the tutorials use a lot of images, using a Frame reduces Programming time. Secondly on downloads of a page, only a part of the actual page is downloaded from the internet, thereby saving on bandwidth. On trying with the above version of Lynx which is text based, I found that I could navigate further by selecting bottom frame but was stuck ahead as the <a href="#" onClick="top.location='karnalawebsite/index.html'"> command was not supported. The display of the message indicates that the browser does not support frames in the conventional way. try using Netscape 4.77 which is given free with most Distro's But Mozilla 0.7 or Netscape 6 are recommended as they give the best results. Please note that after the discussion at the Online meet in August, I saved a lot of images in PNG format, and neither Netscape 4.77, nor IE5.5 provide proper support for PNG format. In IE5.5 and Netscape 4.77, the transparencies on the images appear as grey or white patches. This is a totally graphic intensive site which requires a browser capable of displaying graphics. Javascript has also been liberally used, so support for that is also required. Counter is required to find out number of hits. Thanks for viewing the site and replying. Anand

Using Two gateways
by noel seq 14 Sep '01

14 Sep '01

Hi luggers, Is it possible to use two gateways, one from a fixed ip provider (hathway) on my eth1 and the other from dial-up (vsnl) on my ppp0 (modem) Using hathway, i can browse better, but download of mails is painfully slow. Using vsnl dial-up, i am able download mails, but browsing is very slow. Moreover if i use vsnl for browsing, it slows my mail download. Right now i have to manually change the gateway (using linuxconf), and then connect to vsnl. After downloading the mails, i disconnect and switch to hathway. I tried man route to change the routing rules manually, but it does not work. route add gw 202.88.136.1 Nm 0.0.0.0 dev eth1 Suggestions please Noel.

Folks, (Yeah, I know I should have used a more "meaningful subject" '-) My 2 HDD's have got some strange ailment (power surge?) and are in their death throes. Soon I may be left up the room without the paddle... err the PC. What I want to know is, is it possible to have a bootable CD with linux which I can use when them spinners die on me. I have already begged and borrowed these two from my friends, I have no hope for other. All I need is a minimal system which runs CMUCL + Emacs (+ ilisp). If I can have X running with a browser it will be truly wonderful. But how does one deal with all the files which get written automatically? the error records, the /var files, etc? RAMDisk? Can any (good Samaritan) with a CD-Writer, do me a huge favour and create this CD for me? And if the good Samaritan with the CD-Writer does not know how to do it, can other good Samaritans without CD-Writers help him (and me) out? The other option would be a bootable floppy. What OS would it be? and how much stuff of the above be accommodated on it? quasi -- postscript -- Math is like love -- a simple idea but it can get complicated. -- R.

Wireless network
by Devdas Bhagat 10 Sep '01

10 Sep '01

How about a wireless network for our LUG? I would say we use ipv6 addresses. From preliminary enquiries I have made, we should be able to setup a 802.11b MAN without much interference, with pretty nominal license fees of Rs 3000/yr/machine. There will be a slightly higher initial cost of 802.11b wireless modems, but I think that we can build our own for a much lower cost (Someone please check this by actually going to Lamington Road, my estimate is around 5K Rs). If Dr. Nagurjana will permit us, we can hook this network to the internet through the TIFR leased line. The VSNL 2M port costs ~ Rs.6 lakh/yr. And maybe we can get in a couple of other companies to allow us to share their leased lines so the LUG is multihomed. If there are a hundred interested people, then the running cost is very low (~ Rs. 1000/mth for a wireless network hooked up at 11mbps). Anyone interested? Also, could someone contact the local dept to Telecom and ask them for the exact rules. This should be a fun project.

i810 (4.0.3) and kernel 2.4.9 - the full story
by Philip S Tellis 10 Sep '01

10 Sep '01

Okay, here's the full story. Ximian requires X4.0.x, and won't work with X4.1.x. kernels 2.4.8 and up don't support X4.0.x, only X4.1.x. To get support for X4.0.x in your new kernel, download drm-4.0.x.tar.bz2 and use it instead of the drm directory under your source tree. Also, ftpfs will not work with these kernels because of changes in the superblock structure and VFS. To make it work (but I don't guarantee all situations, open fs/ftpfs/dir.c, and comment out the following: if(!info->mnt.mount_point[0]){ struct vfsmount *m; m = list_entry(sb->s_mounts.next, struct vfsmount, mnt_instances); ftp_get_name(m->mnt_mountpoint, info->mnt.mount_point); DEBUG("Mount point: %s\n", info->mnt.mount_point); } In ftp_readdir() Philip -- Well, it just seemed wrong to cheat on an ethics test. -- Calvin Visit my webpage at http://www.ncst.ernet.in/~philip/ Read my writings at http://www.ncst.ernet.in/~philip/writings/ MSN philiptellis Yahoo! philiptellis AIM philiptellis ICQ 129711328

Re: [ILUG-BOM] Threads on Linux
by aditya newalkar 08 Sep '01

08 Sep '01

Hi, Threads on Linux are a lot different from other OSes. 1) Linux threads are NOT kernel level threads but user level threads. That means while the thread is running in a multithreaded program, the kernel DOES NOT know whether a process is running or a thread is running. 2) Though linux supports a lot of mechanisms absolutely essential for multithreaded mechanisms like mutexes, spin locks; it still has a lot of problems as far as porting of multithreaded applications to Linux is concerned. 3) While other TRUE UNIXes like SUN SOLARIS, DEC UNIX, HPUX have support for recognizing mutexes across the process boundries, becoz of the abv mentioned limitations, Linux cannot recognize them. So multithreaded multiprocessing application written for Solaris might not compile on Linux. 4) SOme pointers on Linux threads: go to redhat.com and give query "PORTING SOLARIS THREADS". There are some nice white papers published which describe the limitations of Linux threads. --- Manish Jethani <cruisecoder(a)yahoo.com> wrote: > What's the bad thing about threads on Linux?
