RE: mkdll.sh

Chuck,

Excellent.  You know that your write-up won't be a wasted effort on me.  :)

I'll be looking at this next week.

Short-term personal status

Final exams are this week and I graduate from Michigan State University on
Saturday with my Computational Mathematics B.S.  Actually, I receive my
degree at the end of the summer because I am taking one more summer class,
but that's just so I get charged the undergraduate rate instead of the
graduate rate.  In the fall I start my Computer Science Master's program at
MSU.

My fiancé keeps putting me in trouble when she catches me working on
Cygwin/XFree86 instead of studying for my exams that are on Wednesday and
Thursday.  Thus, I must take a couple days off of replying to emails and
working on the project.  I'll be back on Sunday or Monday.

Note: my huntharo-4.user.msu.edu machine will be going offline Thursday
afternoon.  That shouldn't make a difference to anyone, except that archives
of links to that machine will be dead.  (This is because I am moving out of
the dorm... I'll go from 10BaseT to a cable modem.)

That's all for now,

Harold

Cool.

setup.exe and inuse files for X

I think I've got a handle on this... looks like read only (-r--r--r--)
files don't delete properly, so setup fails to overwrite them.

Patches gratefully accepted, it's going in the TODO for now.

Cygwin XFree starting problem.

I'm currently facing the following Problem (which I've read questions about
in this mailing list, but no answers):
When I start XWin with startxwin.bat, startxwin.sh or with console always
the same thing happens:
For every xterm (which I started through the script) and for the
Windowmanager (I tryed twm as well as
icewm) a DOS Box opens. Then a window for XWin opens (I'll call it the white
window from now on,
 but all that shows up in this one is a big white screen and on the upper
left corner
there seems to be the windowmanager with the xterms but its just way to
small (about 80x100 pixel)
to recognise it. When I close the xterm DOS boxes the black box on the upper
left corner dissapears.
The curser dissappers when I move it into the 'white window' but when I
click into the left
upper corner there seems to open a dialog window which starts to a appear
the way I move the
invisible mouse pointer over it.
That's it for the problem description here's what my computer's like:
I'm running Win98SE with DirectX Version 4.08.00.400 installed.
I installed XFree with the Xinstall.sh in binary mode (I tryed to install it
at first with
the cygwin setup tool with the same result, but deinstalled that before
reinstallation)
The paths seem to be allright and nothing seems to be missing.
I have a 100BaseT Network card, and standard (I guess) components else.

At the first startup the XWin.log looked like this:

There is still a problem Harold. The links I'm getting have the
correct directory names but aren't rooted i.e. 

app-defaults -> etc/X11/app-defaults
fs -> etc/X11/fs
lbxproxy -> etc/X11/lbxproxy
proxymngr -> etc/X11/proxymngr
rstart -> etc/X11/rstart
twm -> etc/X11/twm
xdm -> etc/X11/xdm
xinit -> etc/X11/xinit
xserver -> etc/X11/xserver
xsm -> etc/X11/xsm

You could link them like XftConfig and xkb are;

app-defaults -> ../../../../etc/X11/app-defaults
fs -> ../../../../etc/X11/fs
lbxproxy -> ../../../../etc/X11/lbxproxy
proxymngr -> ../../../../etc/X11/proxymngr

Windowmaker gived error message upon start

Hi All,

I was very happy to see the Windowmaker port and installed it.  I did the
initial config to make the GNUStep directory, then started it by putting
"exec wmaker"  inside .xinitrc.  I get the error "Procedure entry point
TiffGetFieldDefaulted could not be located in dynamic link library
cygtiff3.dll."   I imagine that there is something I need to update, or
maybe I need to update everything.  I wonder if someone can confirm that
before I start downloading Mb.  I think the version of Cygwin I am using is
1.3.9-1, at least thats what the install log says.

Thanks,  Rob.

compiling qvwm or blwm

Hello All,

I am new to this list and have just been running the cygwin setup.exe
program to try and get the compiler installed.

In my current project, I would like to see about compiling either
QVWM or BLWM so that I could run them under windows and was wondering
if anyone has been able to do this?

any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Lonnie

compiled qvwm fine, but!!

Hello All,

I have been able to compile the QVWM into an qvwm.exe file but now
want to move it out of the c:/cygwin/new directory that I can see
when I run the shell.

I tried to run it, but windows reports an error:

libICE.dll could not be found.

What dll's do I need to take the qvwm out of the shell space into a
regular windows file space and where is this libICE.dll stored?

Thanks in advance,
Lonnie
