Sourceware Survey 2025 Results

In the end we got 103 (!) responses with a nice mix of developers, users and maintainers from various hosted projects.

@argv_minus_one You know... `autoconf` was for times, when we have several #Unix systems in the field, each significantly different from each other, especially in terms of `libc` support. Today we have 3, with one having two flavours - `musl` and `glibc`; third one from #Apple is not usually that strongly supported.

Then keep in mind `autoconf` was practically non-existent on #Windows (and no, #Cygwin and #msys don't count).

Almost forgot.
Yesterday I tried installing #MSYS2. I think I need to redo it later with better luck.

I don't know how else to phrase it, but once I tried running full update, the MSYS2 environment just *shat itself.* I must emphasise that I do not use this kind of expression lightly.
First it said the pacman database was funky. Then bash started whining about not being able to create processes.
*What.*
...I uninstalled the whole thing before things got even weirder.

Last time I tried using #Cygwin was early 2000s. All I can remember about that experience was that it was mildly janky, and I heard that MinGW was coming to fix all that. ...I guess at this pace we'll never get rid of the jank.

#Windows

Any cygwin users ?

I'm trying to run perlbrew tests on cygwin on GitHub Action. Most of the setup worked but it ended up with this error of missing `crypt.h` when installing dependencies. Module::Build::Tiny in this case, but perhaps there will be more.

If you know how this can be resolved or avoided, please help!

#perlbrew
#perl
#cygwin

One positive thing about having been forced to use Windows many years ago is that I got exposed to #Cygwin, and the glory that is multi-line PS1 values (the default Cygwin PS1 was something along the lines of '\u@\h:\w\n\$ ').

That '\n' in there makes such a difference! Separate the long info line from where you're typing!

#bash #gnu

I wouldn't have thought that #Windows #security would make it quite so easy to bypass an access issue ... Can't rename a file with the windows commands, but doing it with #cygwin's mv succeeds ...

Pretty sure I haven't used #PuTTY once since 2013, but that's just because I've been on MacOSX and #Linux the whole time, and the few times I had to use windows, I just used #Cygwin.

Not enough love, Cygwin. It's like reverse-WINE. (Of course, it does help that Windows has a (probably badly implemented and somewhat cursed) POSIX layer.)

Anyone out there still using Cygwin?

Стилистический Анализатор: Синхронизация порядка объявлений и определений функций

У нас в организации есть обязательное правило оформления исходников, которое звучит так: Порядок объявления С-функций должен совпадать с порядком определения С-функций. В этом тексте представлен алгоритм работы консольной программы, которая автоматически выявляет нарушения этого странного правила.

Another useful #writing tool I almost forget to mention is wc. You'll find it on #Linux and #BSD distros. On Windows, #msys and #cygwin offer a version. There are several implementations of wc out there including versions in Busybox and Toybox. If you want to build it yourself or modify it, sbase has a straight forward version:

Das ist mal ’ne Fehlermeldung:

`dubiose Besitzverhältnisse im Repository bei '/cygdrive/d/NN.git' entdeckt`

Huh? Kann #git nicht einfach so, als würde das mir gehören.

Das Windows-git hatte keine Probleme, nur das #cygwin-Git
War ein NTFS-USB-Stick

shoot it did not work. I mean, #cygwin #gpg2 worked with #Forgejo & #Codeberg, but I broke git commit-ing. Now that I removed that and only used the #gpg that came with #git, the former 2 software forges won't let me verify! But #GitHub shows that I'm verified? How do I satiate them? #GnuPG

Техникум: Как Проинициализировать Микроконтроллер [часть 2]

Программа это реализация алгоритма. А алгоритм это упорядоченная последовательность действий. Поэтому очень большое значение имеет правильный порядок исполнения программы. В этом тексте я написал как автоматически выявить правильную последовательность инициализации

Weird #FishShell bug... The #OhMyFish extension, argu, will complain that the `expr` command does not exist on start-up when used on #CygWin.

Solution: add the absolute path `/bin/expr` to the argu.fish script, and it will work fine. 😒

@Codeberg does #cygwin count? I think they run their own git server.

#dcrdao seems to be the best answer for this task, however it does not have direct access to the hardware if run in #WSL, and it is not successfully building in #Cygwin.

So far these are the flags I’m trying to build with:
CXXFLAGS="-std=c++14 -Wno-narrowing -include strings.h -DSTRING_LITERAL=\"(const char*)\""

Any pointers or boosts would be _greatly_ appreciated
