Problem with cygwin (solved)

berder · May 8, 2005, 8:52pm

Hi,

I just can’t understand what’s happening : I was using ROOT the whole day without any problem, but after a crash & reboot, there’s no more prompt when I start it !

I’m using the win32gdk v4.03.02 version under cygwin and Win Me. There are no problems under cygwin bash shell (except the fact that there is no graphical output ) or MS-DOS window (no output either).

What should I do ? I know you may need more infos but what kind of info ?

Thanks in advance.

Regards.

Hi,

I don’t understand - you’re saying there are no problems under bash nor under the windows command prompt, but you don’t get a prompt? What graphical output?

Could you tell me what you type, what you see, and what you expect to see?

Hi Axel,

under bash or windows command, I see :

[code] *******************************************

```
                                    *
```

Type ? for help. Commands must be C++ statements.
Enclose multiple statements between { }.
root [0]
[/code]
so for me that’s ok. But when trying “hello world” or to print a canvas, there is no output. Under xterm, I expect to see the same screen - as until yesterday afternoon… -, but there is no prompt :

and I have to quit with CTRL-C…

(Note that version details are false here, this is the labo screen under linux, not mine under cygwin…)

Hi,

uh, okay. This sounds like a wrong setting of your env vars, +maybe some broken / missing files. Please send the output of “env” from a bash shell, and of “set” from a command.com (of whatever the name of cmd.exe under WinME was). Please check that the ROOT welcome “screen” on your computer really says “win32gdk” - otherwise things are different… And please send me the output of “ls -l $ROOTSYS/bin” from a cygwin bash.

Axel.

Hi,

I never managed to start a win32 (i.e. non-win32gcc) root under a bash shell, be it text or xterm (there seems to be a problem attaching to the terminal). So all I could help you with is getting the graphics output working again, under a windows cmd shell. Could you run “root” without arguments from a windows command prompt, and send the output (including the “WELCOME to ROOT” header) of:
gROOT->IsBatch()
and
gVirtualX->IsA()->GetName()

Hi Axel,

If it can help, I have just noticed that I am able to draw a simple TGraph, but defining a TCanvas crashes with an error in GDI.exe. So the results are :

Hi,

[quote=“berder”]If it can help, I have just noticed that I am able to draw a simple TGraph, but defining a TCanvas crashes with an error in GDI.exe.[/quote]Yes, that helps! You trashed your windows installation. A reinstall (I can only recommend using XP, which IMHO is the first decent OS MS is selling - e.g. you won’t be able to trash it that easily) will fix it.

Axel.

berder · May 11, 2005, 8:32am

I’m not sure my old computer will really love it, it seems to me that XP needs much more RAM than Me…

Thanks for all Axel.
