Description (last modified by kcrisman)

Here's a new one: Cygwin fails on Twisted. Note that this has been observed once, on an XP virtual machine. Not on all XP instances, weirdly.

The error looks like errors linking _pmap_set and _pmap_unset.

  • Cc pasechnik was added
  • Description modified (diff)

The internet (e.g. ​this patch) says that the problem is in twisted/runner/topfiles/setup.py.

The fix is to add the rpc library like in the ​original fix to that Twisted ticket.

Okay, spkg ready for testing at ​http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/kcrisman/twisted-9.0.p3.spkg

I must have messed something up in the syntax - I forgot a comma. Don't try this yet.

comment:6 Changed 11 years ago by kcrisman

Okay, hopefully this fixed it. Sorry not to have posted a patch yet - no time now. Same location.

  • Status changed from needs_work to needs_review

Okay, this is now correct - I fixed the comma, and it worked.

Let's say this ticket is just for XP, for now, since Win7 seems to have so many other troubles. Hopefully that will make it easier to review.

But it works on XP as well.

By which I meant Win 7 as well.

User "RegB" was able to use this successfully for this - see ​this sage-windows thread.

So this just needs someone to look at the actual spkg.

  • Reviewers set to Reg Burgess

That is, this needs someone other than me to look at the actual spkg and its construction :) - should be very easy.

That was on Vista, just FYI. Maybe we need another XP reviewer for this?

somehow I don't need this spkg for Win 7 - what comes with Sage 4.7.2 installs OK.

Welcome back!

Yes, this was only ever an XP problem, as far as I know.

If you can verify this spkg doesn't cause problems on Win 7, then I think that would be enough to positively review and merge. You are right that XP is less and less important in the long run, of course.

Is this superseded by the Twisted 11.0 spkg at #11847?

Almost certainly not - the devels on the link above seemed not to care too much - the last change was 18 months ago, and they didn't want to do anything without a Cygwin slave. I can try to see whether the new package applies sometime tonight, but I doubt that it's in upstream. And of course this was only ever on XP.

Still, if you can apply this without too much trouble on yours, with a patch applied only in case of Cygwin, I think that would be a good idea.

You mean #11874, of course!

  • Authors Karl-Dieter Crisman, Mike Hansen deleted
  • Milestone changed from sage-4.8 to sage-duplicate/invalid/wontfix
  • Reviewers changed from Reg Burgess to Reg Burgess, Karl-Dieter Crisman, Dmitrii Pasechnik
  • Status changed from needs_review to positive_review

After testing on the newest Cygwin on XP, I think this issue may have been an older Cygwin issue, not an XP issue per se. I have no problems building the current p2, the p3 on this ticket, or Twisted 11 on #11874. Setting to sage-invalid, keeping Reg as a reviewer for checking this worked on Vista and Dima for checking on Win 7 this wasn't necessary.

I've added trac_11497.diff​ for reference in case we need to apply this in the future for some reason.
