Hello,
I recently upgraded to cygwin 1.1.7 and am truly amazed at the progress.
I am especially impressed with the work that Corinna has done to get
inetutils to work so easily. I managed to get telnetd, ftpd, rlogin,
rsh, etc to work with very little effort. Thanks, Corinna!
(I'm also extremely thankful to Charles Wilson for all the packages
now included in the distribution.)
So, while I was browsing the inetutils.README, I noticed the talk
utility which I hadn't used in several years and decided to give it
a try.
Here's what happens:
~/ tty
/dev/tty1
kwright AT HOLSTEIN-MOBILE Wed Jan 17 06:02:50pm
~/ who
kwright tty0 Jan 17 16:46 (holstein-mobile.ASPECTDV.COM)
kwright tty1 Jan 17 17:53 (holstein-mobile.ASPECTDV.COM)
kwright tty3 Jan 17 17:22 (holstein-mobile.ASPECTDV.COM)
kwright AT HOLSTEIN-MOBILE Wed Jan 17 06:02:52pm
~/ talk kwright tty0
Error opening terminal: cygwin.
I've tried changing to various TERMs but I always get the same
results.
I've also tried running an strace and found this "error":
239 158185 [main] talk 444 _write: write (1, 0xA011E00, 51)^M
191 158376 [main] talk 444 fhandler_base::write: binary write^M
Standard input must be a tty, not a pipe or a file
179 158555 [main] talk 444 fhandler_base::write: 51 = write (0xA011E00,
51)^M
I also noticed that talk was trying to open terminfo files in a strange
place:
(/home/kwright/.terminfo/l/linux, 0x10000)
and then later in:
/contrib/share/terminfo/l/linux
I tried copying the terminfo files from /usr/share/terminfo to /contrib
but this didn't help. Then I copied over an old termcap file from a an old
cygwin installation and talk no longer tried to open terminfo but I still
got the same error regarding not being able to open terminal: foo.
While not being able to run talk is not a show stopper but I just thought
it would be a handy tool to get running. My next step would be to run
the debugger but I just wanted to know if anyone else was able to get talk
to work.
TIA,
--Kevin Wright
