iconv with EBCDIC support on Cygwin - cygwin

I installed iconv on Cygwin using the setup utility. The version information is as follows:
$ iconv --version
iconv (GNU libiconv 1.14)
Copyright (C) .....

However iconv -l is not showing any EBCDIC related codepages. Is there anything else I need to install?

I ended up using recode for my requirement, which had the necessary codepage support available.

Updating the Compiler for the GPS Community Edition 2019 IDE

I've recently started working on a project that requires my complier to be above GNAT 4.8.5 - When I go to: Help > About
You can see that the version I'm using is 4.8.5
Also, when I run the gnatls -v command, I can see this...
[parallels#localhost ~]$ gnatls -v
GNATLS 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-39)

Please could someone be able to tell me how to update my GNAT compiler? Also, I'm using the Centos 7 Operating System.
Thank you,

You don't need to install a compiler, you already have 3 (at least):
gcc 4.8.5 (the system compiler) in /usr/bin
gcc 7.3.0 (that you just built) in /usr/local/bin
gcc 8.3.1 (from GNAT CE 2019) in /home/parallels/opt/GNAT/2019/bin
Your PATH determines which GCC you pick up when you say just gcc, and which GNATLS you pick up when you say just gnatls, .. etc.
According to a previous post, your PATH is:
$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/var/lib/snapd/snap/bin:/home/parallels/.local/bin:/home/parallels/bin/home/parallels/opt/GNAT/2019/bin/home/parallels/opt/GNAT/2019/bin
so when you say just gcc the system looks at the first entry in the PATH (which is colon-separated) and .. there it is! so it executes that.
If you'd built your 7.3.0 GCC with Ada support, it would have found gnatls in the same place. I have a very strong suspicion that you didn't, so when you say just gnatls the system looks in /usr/local/bin - no luck - then in /usr/local/sbin - no luck - then in /usr/bin - whoopee! but that's the 4.8.5 GCC that you don't want.
Looking again at your PATH, the last part is mangled - you've added /home/parallels/bin and /home/parallels/opt/GNAT/2019/bin (twice) without including the colon separators, resulting in a nonexistent path. (/home/parallels/bin may well have been added by the system - I assume that /home/parallels is your home directory).
What you need to do is to make sure that you pick up the compiler that came with GNAT CE 2019 by putting its location first in your PATH. One way of doing this is by editing your shell startup files.
I don't know how CENTOS sets accounts up, and I don't know what your shell is. Assuming it's bash (type ps -p $$, should come back with bash or perhaps -bash; anything else, I can't help), you need to edit one of the shell startup files - I'm a little unclear about this, but I think it'll be ~/.bashrc (~ is shorthand for your home directory); see here for the gory details. Find the last mention of PATH and immediately after that line insert
export PATH=/home/parallels/opt/GNAT/2019/bin:$PATH
Open a new terminal window and say e.g. gnatls -v - you should pick up the GNAT CE 2019 one.
Only way I know of updating GNAT GPS CE from AdaCore is downloading the new one, installing it and then deleting the old one.
Another thing is to upgrade the gnat-gps that some systems had in ther repositories

Cygwin header files

I have just installed Cygwin on my 64 bit Windows 10. I need sys/types.h, sys/socket.h and several other libraries. However, I can't find these files under the cygwin installation directory. Where can I get them?
Those are part of the cygwin-devel package:
$ apt-cyg listfiles cygwin-devel | egrep 'sys/(types|socket).h'
usr/include/sys/types.h
usr/include/sys/socket.h

Can gnu utils on Mac such as gobjdump parser Linux ELF binary?

So basically I have some ELF binaries compiled on Linux 32 bit.
And I want to analysis it on my Mac 64 bit.
I am trying to use the gnu utils installed by homebrew such as gobjdump and greadelf.
However, when I tried to parser the elf binaries using gobjdump, I got this error:
gobjdump: hello: File format is ambiguous
gobjdump: Matching formats: elf32-i386-nacl elf32-i386-sol2 elf32-i386-vxworks elf32-i386
So my questions are:
is it possible to analysis 32 bit Linux compiled ELF binary on MAC using its gnu utils?
If possible, how to do it ?
Yes, Use the --target=bfdname option to specify the object code format. The option you probably want is elf32-i386.
gobjdump -x --target=elf32-i386 hello

How to determine the OS version for which was compiled rpm?

How can i determine the Linux version (distribution) for which was compiled rpm packet?
I believe this is what you are after.
$ rpm -q gnome-speech --queryformat '%10{NAME} %20{VENDOR} %20{RELEASE} %20{ARCH}\n'
gnome-speech Red Hat, Inc. 1.fc6 i386
$ rpm -q hwdata --queryformat '%10{NAME} %20{VENDOR} %20{RELEASE} %20{ARCH}\n'
hwdata Red Hat, Inc. 1.el5 noarch
There are lots of nifty bits you can go after with queryformat, see this guide for a reference.
General reference on rpm-philosophy-multi-architecture.
There is no such ways to determine the OS name and version from the content of the file.
Normally a RPM file name contains all these details. According to the RPM file naming convention the file name must be like :
name-version-release.architecture.rpm
Please check this link for details.
You can use rpm -q to get the OS data from the OS tag in the RPM, but you need to specify a queryformat as it is not in the normal -i output. You can use -p to refer to a specific RPM file for the testing.
$ rpm -q -p myfiletotest.rpm --queryformat '%10{NAME} %10{OS} %10{VERSION} %10{RELEASE} %10{ARCH}\n'
mypackage linux 2.2.10 1_14.el6 x86_64
The OS name is the second field in this output. The RPM does not distinguish between releases of the OS though; you will only see 'linux', 'aix', 'darwin', and so on - not 'centos-6'.

How do you find out which version of GTK+ is installed on Ubuntu?

I need to determine which version of GTK+ is installed on Ubuntu
Man does not seem to help
This suggestion will tell you which minor version of 2.0 is installed. Different major versions will have different package names because they can co-exist on the system (in order to support applications built with older versions).
Even for development files, which normally would only let you have one version on the system, you can have a version of gtk 1.x and a version of gtk 2.0 on the same system (the include files are in directories called gtk-1.2 or gtk-2.0).
So in short there isn't a simple answer to "what version of GTK is on the system". But...
Try something like:
dpkg -l libgtk* | grep -e '^i' | grep -e 'libgtk-*[0-9]'
to list all the libgtk packages, including -dev ones, that are on your system. dpkg -l will list all the packages that dpkg knows about, including ones that aren't currently installed, so I've used grep to list only ones that are installed (line starts with i).
Alternatively, and probably better if it's the version of the headers etc that you're interested in, use pkg-config:
pkg-config --modversion gtk+
will tell you what version of GTK 1.x development files are installed, and
pkg-config --modversion gtk+-2.0
will tell you what version of GTK 2.0. The old 1.x version also has its own gtk-config program that does the same thing. Similarly, for GTK+ 3:
pkg-config --modversion gtk+-3.0
This isn't so difficult.
Just check your gtk+ toolkit utilities version from terminal:
gtk-launch --version
get GTK3 version:
dpkg -s libgtk-3-0|grep '^Version'
or just version number
dpkg -s libgtk-3-0|grep '^Version' | cut -d' ' -f2-
You can use this command:
$ dpkg -s libgtk2.0-0|grep '^Version'
You could also just compile the following program and run it on your machine.
#include <gtk/gtk.h>
#include <glib/gprintf.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
/* Initialize GTK */
gtk_init (&argc, &argv);
g_printf("%d.%d.%d\n", gtk_major_version, gtk_minor_version, gtk_micro_version);
return(0);
}
compile with ( assuming above source file is named version.c):
gcc version.c -o version `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0`
When you run this you will get some output. On my old embedded device I get the following:
[root#n00E04B3730DF n2]# ./version
2.10.4
[root#n00E04B3730DF n2]#
Try,
apt-cache policy libgtk2.0-0 libgtk-3-0
or,
dpkg -l libgtk2.0-0 libgtk-3-0
I think a distribution-independent way is:
gtk-config --version
You can also just open synaptic and search for libgtk, it will show you exactly which lib is installed.
Try:
dpkg-query -W libgtk-3-bin
Because apt-cache policy will list all the matches available, even if not installed, I would suggest using this command for a more manageable shortlist of GTK-related packages installed on your system:
apt list --installed libgtk*
This will get the version of the GTK libraries for GTK 2, 3, and 4.
dpkg -l | egrep "libgtk(2.0-0|-3-0|-4)"
As major versions are parallel installable, you may have several of them on your system, which is my case, so the above command returns this on my Ubuntu Trusty system:
ii libgtk-3-0:amd64 3.10.8-0ubuntu1.6 amd64 GTK+ graphical user interface library
ii libgtk2.0-0:amd64 2.24.23-0ubuntu1.4 amd64 GTK+ graphical user interface library
This means I have GTK+ 2.24.23 and 3.10.8 installed.
If what you want is the version of the development files, use:
pkg-config --modversion gtk+-2.0 for GTK 2
pkg-config --modversion gtk+-3.0 for GTK 3
pkg-config --modversion gtk4 for GTK 4
(This changed because the + from GTK+ was dropped a while ago.)
To make the answer more general than Ubuntu (I have Redhat):
gtk is usually installed under /usr, but possibly in other locations. This should be visible in environment variables. Check with
env | grep gtk
Then try to find where your gtk files are stored. For example, use locate and grep.
locate gtk | grep /usr/lib
In this way, I found /usr/lib64/gtk-2.0, which contains the subdirectory 2.10.0, which contains many .so library files. My conclusion is that I have gtk+ version 2.10. This is rather consistent with the rpm command on Redhat: rpm -qa | grep gtk2, so I think my conclusion is right.
To compile and link a GTK program with pkg-config, we need the library name instead of the actual version number. For example, the following command compiles and links a GTK program that uses the GTK4 library:
gcc -o program program.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk`
To obtain the library name for GTK, use the following command:
pkg-config --list-all | grep gtk
