[GnuWin32-Users] Need help building a program using gnu win32 regex library

[Barry K. <blk...@gm...>]

I am attempting to build a program on my windows 10 system using the gnu
win32 regex library.

I am using the developer console under microsoft visual studio 2017

**********************************************************************
** Visual Studio 2017 Developer Command Prompt v15.9.7
** Copyright (c) 2017 Microsoft Corporation
**********************************************************************

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community>


I have copied the DLL file for the regex code to the directory containing
my source code. when I compile the code I specify an option to point to the
directory containing the gun win32 regex.h file. However when I attempt to
compile the program I receive the following error messages

C:\barry\dosutils>cl "/I%INCGNU%" regex1.c
Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 19.16.27027.1 for x86
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.

regex1.c
Microsoft (R) Incremental Linker Version 14.16.27027.1
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.

/out:regex1.exe
regex1.obj
regex1.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__regcomp
referenced in function _main
regex1.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__regexec
referenced in function _main
regex1.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__regerror
referenced in function _main
regex1.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 3 unresolved externals

I have been looking through the supplied documentation that came with the
gun win32 regex library and there is nothing there showing me how to
compile a program. How do I resolve these errors ?

Thanks

[GnuWin32-Users] Confused About Folder Extraction with ARC Utility

[Anthony K. <ell...@gm...>]

I feel utterly dumb for asking this, but I am trying to use the ARC
utility. According to docu, I can do

`arc e example.arc "C:/location/to/extract"`

and it should extract all files in example.arc to that location. But
instead I get the message "File not found: C:/location/to/extract" (even
though the folder exists on my hard drive.) It seems that instead this
applies a filter of which folders to extract *within* the archive.

I want to batch extract a bunch of files in some subfolders and without the
ability to specify where to extract I can't do this without going to each
folder one by one. Is this really the intended behaviour and will I have to
modify the source code myself?

[GnuWin32-Users] How to create pdf from texi file with makeinfo for windows?

[Roland S. <sal...@gm...>]

Hi,

 

recently I installed texinfo for windows 4.13a from gnuwin32 on a windows 10 machine. With the makeinfo.exe it contains,
rum from a windows command line, I can create info files from texi files by

 

makeinfo <filename>.texi

 

without any problem. But makeinfo does not seem to accept any options:

 

Makeinfo -pdf <filename>.texi 

 

results in

 

'unrecognized option -pdf'. Same with --dvipdf

 

Not even the -help option works:

 

Makeinfo -help

 

gives me back

 

'Dateiangabe fehlt'  (something like: 'missing file specification')

 

How can I pass options to makeinfo on the windows command line? And how can I use makeinfo under windows to create pdf
files from texi? I can't find any documentation about the particular situation of makeinfo under windows.

 

Thanks a lot and best regards,

Roland

 

[GnuWin32-Users] sunrpc fixes

[Chris B. <ch...@be...>]

Hi everyone.

I recently downloaded a copy of sunrpc for use on a project I am working on
and began receiving errors when trying to compile a .x file.  I am on
Windows 7, 64 bit and its part of a large QT / Mingw project.  I was using
the command

rpcgen -Y C:\Mingw\bin -C -c -o xdraircraft.cpp xdraircraft.x

It works fine on Linux (We dont even need the -Y flag there) but did not
work from within QT creator.  All I saw was the error message "fopen"
access denied.  After downloading the source I identified the problem.  It
is using tmpnam which returns something like \abcd1. in Windows.  Under the
C: drive it has a permission error unless you are compiling as an
administrator.

I made a fix in rpc_main.c that fixes this problem and uses your TMP
variable as a template to mkstemp.

//MARPOSS^M
/*^M
 * Open input file with given define for C-preprocessor^M
 */^M
static void^M
open_input(const char *infile, const char *define)^M
{^M
        char szTemp[360];^M
^M
        if (getenv("TMP")) {
           sprintf(szTempFile,"%s\\rpcXXXXXX.tmp",getenv("TMP"));
           close(mkstemp(szTempFile));
        } else {
           tmpnam(szTempFile);^M
        }
^M
        find_cpp();^M
        sprintf(szTemp, "%s %s %s %s > %s\n", CPP, CPPFLAGS, define,
infile, szTempFile);^M
        //printf(szTemp);^M
^M
        system(szTemp);^M
        fin = fopen(szTempFile, "r");^M
        if (fin == NULL) {^M
                perror(szTempFile);^M
                crash();^M
        }^M
}^M

Sorry for the ^M, I am using VIM.

Hope this helps someone out there.

Andrew, there is a feature request list you could try adding to at:

[GnuWin32-Users] Unable to install GnuWin32 Tools on my daughter's Windows 10 PC

[Bill P. <bmp...@zo...>]

Hello,

 

I have successfully installed GnuWin32 Tools on my Windows 10 PC but am not
able to on my daughter's Windows 10 PC.

 

She is going off to college in a few weeks and I would like to get her set
up with the GnuWin32 tools before she goes.

 

I downloaded GetGnuWin32-0.6.3.exe from
https://sourceforge.net/projects/getgnuwin32/ and ran download.bat.

 

It got through the 5%, 10%...100% display messages but after that it failed
saying something like "Uh oh, we were unable to verify any of the files".

 

It also displayed a suggestion to try using download.bat with some arguments
(something like "download.bat <argument 1> <argument 2>").  I tried that
also but got the same results.

 

I tried download by itself and with arguments both multiple times and got
the same results.

 

I apologize for being a little unsure about the exact error message and
names of the download.bat arguments.  It is because it is my daughter's PC
which she needs to use a lot so I am not able to be on it for very long to
get these details.

 

I did not see any suggestions for how to address this on the internet or in
your mailing lists.

 

It just seems strange to me that I was able to get these tools installed and
working fine on my Windows 10 PC but not on hers.

 

Could you please let me know what I may be doing wrong or how to get this
installed properly on her PC?

 

Thank you,

 

Bill Peloso

[GnuWin32-Users] Using gnuwin and xsltproc in Windows 8.1

[Edward D. <eld...@tr...>]

My attempt to use xsltproc from gnuwin in Windows 8.1 is met with 
failure because of missing imports in libxml2 of gnuwin. The actual 
message I am seeing when I attempt to run "xsltproc -version" is:

"The procedure entry point xmlDefaultSAXHandler could not be located in 
the dynamic link library C:\Utilities\GnuWin\bin\xsltproc.exe."

If I look at Dependency Walker it shows that libxml2.dll has a number of 
unresolved imports including xmlDefaultSAXHandler, xmlIndentTreeOutput, 
xmlLoadExtDtdDefaultValue, and xmlParserVersion.

Is gnuwin unusable under Windows 8.1 ? If not, what do I need to do to 
get it to work properly ?

[GnuWin32-Users] make bug #34519

[Tomas N. <to...@kt...>]

Hi

Referring to bug #34519 for make, which seem to have been fixed if I
understand the bug ticket correct. I cannot find a windows installer for
make version > 3.81, and the bug is resolved in some version after 3.81.

https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?34519

The bug ticket has two links to some good advice on how to work-around
the issue, which I will try. But is there not a pre-compiled binary for
windows with version > 3.81? Or do I simply fail to find it?

[GnuWin32-Users] libgw32c - any plans for new release?

[Marcin K. <mar...@gm...>]

Hi.

According to http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/libgw32c.htm
latest release of libgw32c is from 10 January 2004.

It is old now.

Besides several bugs that are present in this port
(if found bugs in clock_gettime(), dlopen() and readdir_r()),
there is an issue with default sizeof ( time_t ) being changed
in the meantime making all funcions in libgw32c
that for example use timespec - unusable.

I have following questions.

Is libgw32c still maintained? Who is libgw32cs maintainer?
How can I get involved? I would like to send patches at least to fix
bugs I have found.
Are there any plans to release new version/new build of this library?

Best regards.

[GnuWin32-Users] gnuwin32 web site is a maze of broken links

[Michal S. <hra...@gm...>]

Hello,

I was searching for ncurses for windows and came across this page:
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/ncurses.htm

The page has only link to http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/install.html
which links to http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages.htm (404) and
http://members.tcnet.ch/michaelis which links back to
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/ and there you get actual location of
package list: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages.html which does
not include ncurses.

The ncurses package is not obtained with the 'automated installation
tool', either.

Last, the https://sourceforge.net/p/gnuwin32/bugs/ does not have a
report bug option.

Is the ncurses package really available in gnuwin32?

If so where can I download it?

Thanks

Michal

[GnuWin32-Users] Compatibility with Git Bash .sh shell scripts

[Andrew P. <and...@gm...>]

make 3.81 in GnuWin gets confused in Git Bash terminals such as msysGit. If
a Makefile refers to a .sh Shell script, make fails, unless the programmer
appends a semicolon (;) after the shell script call in the Makefile.

Could the next version of GnuWin make automatically append a semicolon
before command line calls are issued? This would greatly increase
compatibility with the thousands of Makefiles out there.

[GnuWin32-Users] Help with pcregrep on Windows

[Emanuele A. <alp...@al...>]

Hello,
I am using this package on Windows 7 64bit http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/pcre.htm (in the specific instance I used pcre-7.0.exe available here http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuwin32/files/pcre/7.0/ to have pcregrep available on my Windows machine).
That is to say:
pcregrep version 4.4 29-Nov-2006 using PCRE version 7.0 18-Dec-2006

When I use this line from the Windows command prompt
pcregrep -vM "^>sp\|.{6}\-.\|.*\n(.*\n\w)*" PIG.fasta > PIG_without_isoforms.fasta
I have nothing done (no errors, it simply looks like that nothing is happening, the command does not stop and an empty output file is produced).
When I use this line (the only changes with respect to the previous one are double quotes to single quotes)
pcregrep -vM '^>sp\|.{6}\-.\|.*\n(.*\n\w)*' PIG.fasta > PIG_without_isoforms.fasta
on Unix (pcregrep version 7.8 2008-09-05) everything works.
The above line (the one with double quotes) works in Windows if I replace -vM with -v
The above line (the one with double quotes) works in Windows if I replace -vM with -M
It seems that the combination of options -vM affects Windows.

I'd like to update pcregrep to the latest version (pcre is at version 8.31) but I have no idea (see note below) on how to do that without a precompiled Windows port like the above mentioned one or without a step-by-step protocol.

Could you help me in trying to update pcregrep on my Windows system?

I'd very much like to be able to do what can be done on Unix also on Windows (like it happens for all the other GnuWin32 packages that I use).

PLEASE NOTE: I am not an informatics expert but just a simple user.

The compressed version of the input file (if you would like to perform tests) is available here:
ftp://ftp.uniprot.org/pub/databases/uniprot/current_release/knowledgebase/proteomes/PIG.fasta.gz

Thanking you in advance for your kind attention

Best Regards

Emanuele Alpi

Paolo Bonzini, maintainer of GNU sed, said that this
bug had been fixed in the git repository, but not in
any released version.

Borut, thanks for your expertise.
