Description quetschke 2005-07-04 23:52:50 UTC
The W32-tcsh build fails in instsetoo_native with:

... generating setup.ini ...
... copying files into installation set ...
... creating ddf files ...
... creating log file log_SRC680__en-US.log 
... packaging installation set ... 
... makecab.exe (1) ...
(-- nothing, build hangs --)

The following attachment is a standalone testcase, unfortunately it depends on
the absolute path it resides in. To reproduce unpack perlfreeze.zip to d: then
do:
$ cd /cygdrive/d/perlfreeze
$ ./perltest.pl

and see it hang. (In cygwin bash, without OOo build environment set.)

P.S.: Using cygwin 1.5.17 works around this problem.

P.P.S: If you cannot unpack to d: choose a diffrent location and change
openofficeorg_q4.ddf accordingly.

Comment 2 quetschke 2005-07-20 18:45:32 UTC
Just to let you know, the problem is fixed in the current snapshots and
will be fixed in cygwin 1.5.19.

FYI. Snaphots: <http://cygwin.com/snapshots/>
Comment 4 christianjunker 2005-07-20 18:47:23 UTC
reproduced on WinXP after letting it process this single line for almost 3 hours :/
Comment 5 davidfraser 2005-09-07 18:53:05 UTC
Note that the freezing can also be undone by catting /proc/$pid/cmdline for the
frozen process...
Comment 6 davidfraser 2005-09-08 08:13:01 UTC
Correction: the freezing that can be undone with catting /proc/$pid/cmdline only
works for freezes elsewhere (such as in building extras), not for the makecab
freeze in instsetoo_native

I have tried with Cygwin 1.5.18 but it stills error. Now, I don't know how to 
make a Setup file. I wants to build a new Setup with language is Vietnamese. I 
have met the errors when I build module instsetoo_native. Please see issue 
#54634.
Comment 9 hjs 2005-09-15 10:59:34 UTC
try to replace your "cygwin1.dll" in "/bin" with the latest snapshot of this dll
provided here:

Comment 12 quetschke 2005-12-30 23:58:41 UTC
For the record: Even with a current snapshot some hangs were seen on one system
but could be cured by starting the following command in a new cygwin bash
window:

$ ls /proc/*/fd

If whoever reads this issue (and is not ause ;) ) can reproduce the hang and the
"unhang" with the ls command, please provide details.

CC'ing Henrik as he might actually be the second one.
Comment 13 hesu2 2005-12-31 00:55:52 UTC
I get the hanging in dmake. sed is always shown by ps when hanging (and not
otherwise).

$ ls /proc/*/fd
Unhang dmake for a few seconds (until next sed?)

Comment 14 quetschke 2005-12-31 01:42:13 UTC
@hesu2: Please try the 24.12.2005 snapshot. I try to reproduce with the 29.12.2005
snapshot.

What hardware is your system? Are you building on a local harddrive? Can you post
(attach) the output of "cygcheck -svr"?
Comment 15 hesu2 2006-01-05 22:24:30 UTC
I've changed to use the 24.12.2005 snapshot. It does not work better.

By running the command below, in a separate bash window, while running dmake I
can build several projects:
$ while true; do ls /proc/*/fd; sleep 2; done

I've had problems coming this far.
cygwin (?) does not seem stable. The configure command coredumps now and then,
but can work just by rerunning the same command line a few times. I get the
impression that the bash window with the loop can disturb the tcsh window.

This is the command line I use currently:

./configure --with-cl-home="/cygdrive/c/Program/Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2003/Vc7" --with-jdk-home="/cygdrive/c/Program/Java/jdk1.5.0_03"
--with-use-shell=tcsh --with-midl-path="/cygdrive/c/Program/Microsoft Platform
SDK/Bin" --with-csc-path="/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v1.1.4322"
--with-frame-home="/cygdrive/c/Program/Microsoft.NET/SDK/v1.1"
--with-ant-home="/cygdrive/c/Program/apache-ant-1.6.5"
--with-extra-dotnet-files="/cygdrive/c/Program/Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit
2003/include" --with-extra-dotnet-files="/cygdrive/c/Program/Microsoft Visual
C++ Toolkit 2003/lib" --enable-cl-standard

The first --with-extra-dotnet-files is overridden by the second, therefore I
patch winenv.set by:
1. Adding as second last to ILIB: c:\\Program\\MICROS~3\\include; 
2. Appending to CC and CXX -I/cygdrive/c/Program/MICROS~3/include 

I did 2, to make guw.pl find yvals.h. I have very different versions of yvals.h
and don't know whick one to use ("Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003" or
"Microsoft Platform SDK"). 

I've finally reached the compilation of autodoc/source/display/html in
'build_instsetoo_native'. And there I get compilation errors (see end of
attached dmake-log). I think I've mixed to many h-files and libraries.

I'll attach the cygcheck -svr output below.

Guess why I'm asking for small (Not needing an OOo environment) reproducible
testcases. I'm 1000 miles away from my windows boxes therefore I cannot do
any debugging on snapshot problems. But be assured, it works for me. No cores
here. (With 20051224 snapshot, I had problems with a later one).

Btw. they are called snapshots because they are not stable ;) 

The rest of your report is not specific to the topic of this issue, I will not
comment much on it, but let me repeat: The VCTK is not functional, I didn't rip
it out of configure because I hoped I could make it usable but it might have
some rough edges.

Re --with-extra-dotnet-files, the structure of configure allows to use each
switch only once. If you use one twice, the second wins.

So, what would really helpfull now is a small testcase (a shellscrip, programm)
that hangs reproducible on your system. (One of a few hundred tries is enough,
but it must show the problems somehow.) If configure hangs for you: great! It's
a script, strip it down until you find the offending sequence.

Btw., configure cannot core dump, it's a script. (I might be wrong here, but
I never heard about a script that coredumped.) But it might be worth looking
at the core files that you find.
Comment 19 hesu2 2006-01-05 23:21:16 UTC
I just retried configure from my only cygwin window (bash). Below is my result
from ./configure, I don't know the name of the core dump (I've searched for
filenames containing "core"). I don't know how to make the script show more
details (like @echo ON in make). I cannot be more specific.

Comment 20 hesu2 2006-01-05 23:31:22 UTC
I just found the file sh.exe.stackdump, created about the time I ran configure
as above.
It looks like this, anything I can do to pin it down more?

Comment 21 quetschke 2006-01-06 00:21:58 UTC
Yes, I forgot to tell you that the cores are called *.stackdump :)

First I would go to the latest snapshot. Debugging old snapshots is, most of the
time, only of limited interest to the developer.

Then I would start shortening the configure script until only the failing part
remains. As you didn't post any output after the configure call I would assume
that something at the beginning fails. Have a look at config.log.

For making bash scripts more verbose look at "man bash" (sh == bash). But in
this case this might not help you as configure is haevily redirecting its
output.

If you would have a bash/sh with debug information you could use addr2line to
get the failing position in the code (but you don't).
Comment 22 hesu2 2006-01-06 00:52:32 UTC
I'll switch back to the latest snapshot later.

>As you didn't post any output after the configure call I would assume that

I didn't even get a new config.log.

$ man bash
given as the first command after tha failing configure, seemed to hang. It took
a long time to start a new shell, 100% CPU load. 
ctrl-c gave this:
$ man bash
      8 [unknown (0xC58)] sh 2608 child_copy: stack write copy failed,
0x22D950..0x230000, done 0, windows pid 2283652, Win32 error 5

| /usr/bin/less -isrR) exited with status 32768.
No manual entry for bash

(later man bash worked properly)
I've seen "child_copy: stack write copy failed" many times, is it due to ctrl-c? 
Comment 23 hesu2 2006-01-06 00:59:38 UTC
Looked a little more at the load.
It is explorer.exe that consumes a lot of cpu after a failing configure (the
prompt is displayed in the bash window) and during a hanging "man bash".

It takes a minute or two for the load to get normal again.
Comment 24 quetschke 2006-01-20 03:45:41 UTC
The original problem of this issue is solved with the current cygwin 1.5.19
version.

If the hanging stuff that can be cured with
$ ls /proc/*/fd
still occurs please open a new issue.

Comment 27 bjoern.michaelsen 2009-07-20 16:25:00 UTC
Moving comments about this isse from the wiki related here...

*  With cygwin 1.5.18, makecab.exe hangs when run from the build process (but it
works fine when run standalone). So you definitely want to use a snapshot and
avoid cygwin 1.5.18, unless you enjoy wasting half a week of your life debugging
like I did ... 

* With later Cygwin versions (various 1.5.19 and 1.5.20 snapshots) hangs have
been noticed at least by me (User:TorLillqvist) at various stages of the build
on a hyperthreading (Pentium 4) machine, while doing the same build using the
exact same Cygwin version on a single-processor machine worked fine. So it might
be a good idea to turn off hyperthreading.
