RE: Problems with zsh 3.1.9 and cygwin

[Mike Boilen]

I appear to have a different problem from you.  I tried removing MMAP (which
I think has been undef'd automatically when compiling against cygwin
anyway), but it didn't help.  I get the exact same error.

Thanks anyway.

Mike

Someone tell me to look at what lists I sending mail to before I send it.
Everything I was talking about is on the cygwin mailing list, not this one.
I have never posted to this one and I do not know if I am blacklisted here.

I had a request to post what I posted to cygwin here,so here it is.

This is not the account I am subscribed from, that mail server is currently
being blocked for strange reasons, and there is nothing we can do about it.
:( 

There was a recent thread on here regarding getting ksh and zsh to compile and run. I also had a thread running a few weeks ago detailing my problems. I have finally solved those and believe I know the problem the other person is having. In brief, I have been able to compile zsh-3.1.* but running it gave me STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION errors. Fixes in the archives didn't work. After much working through gdb, I determined the problem lay somewhere in termcap or terminfo, so I performed a complete upgrade of cygwin and started over configuring and compileing both zsh-3.1.7 and 3.1.9. I then ran into problems with /bin/sh. Apparently I originally did not have ash in my installation and so had created a link for /bin/sh. This probably was a hard link to /bin/bash, but I am not sure anymore. After removing that, my configure scripts started working again. During the compile portion, it died in both builds with problems in libcurses. I upgraded to the most recent curses I could find (nc!
urses-5) and tried again. This time it compiled fine and I can run both builds. For the benefit of the person who started the recent zsh thread, I believe you had some kind of problem with undefined symbols having puts or something like that? If so, you might upgrade your curses libraries, or possibly the termcap package in the base system.

I understand, that it is of little help, but I can build and run current
Zsh code (I do not remember, if I tried stock 3.1.9 - but it is very
probable) in exactly the above configuration. There are a couple of
glitches wrt pty support but apart from that it runs fine.

Wow! I was never able to use GDB under Cygwin. How do you do it?

Go take a look at the mailing list archives, I had the exact same problems

Problems with zsh 3.1.9 and cygwin

[Mike Boilen]

I am using windows 2000 server with cygwin 1.1.2 (or whatever the newest
release is; I downloaded it yesterday).  The code for zsh 3.1.9 builds fine
without modification.  However, when I run it, I get the error:

      0 [main] zsh 18877 handle_exceptions: Exception:
STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION
    913 [main] zsh 18877 stackdump: Dumping stack trace to zsh.exe.stackdump

and the following stackdump:

I also poked around the code a bit.  It appears to crash in params.c at line
508 (using gdb to discover this)
    for (envp = new_environ, envp2 = environ; *envp2; envp2++) {

It parses several environment variables correctly, and then crashes.  All
the memory addresses look fine (i.e. none are null).  However, I'm a unix
programmer, not a windows programmer, so I don't have a good sense of what
"valid" really looks like.

Any ideas what could be causing this?

Thank you very much for your help.

Mike
