Re: problems with libX11.a

Hi Harold,

Thanks for your help.  We were able to get MicroWindows running after you 
pointed us in the right direction.  We already had the Xfree86-prog package 
but you comments about trying to link explicitly to libX11.a led us to the 
problem.  The following is a clip from Makefile.rules:

ifeq ($(X11), Y)
DEFINES += -DX11=1
ifneq ($(ARCH),CYGWIN)
# Cygwin can't use this - the -lX11 needs to be specified
# *after* the object files that use it, but this inserts
# it at the start.  For Cygwin, we will add libX11.a to the
# library list instead.
LDFLAGS += -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11
else
MW_CORE_LIBS += /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.dll.a
endif
ifeq ($(ARCH),FREEBSD-X86)
INCLUDEDIRS += -I/usr/X11R6/include
endif
ifeq ($(ARCH),CYGWIN)
INCLUDEDIRS += -I/usr/X11R6/include
endif
endif

We changed the 10th line to its current state.  It used to say 
"MW_CORE_LIBS += /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.a"

Once we made that change everything else fell into place and we were able

XDMCP Problems - Possible fix, please try

The XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-30 release may fix some problems with not 
getting a login screen when using XDMCP.  See the change log for more 
information:

http://xfree86.cygwin.com/devel/server/changelog.html

Please try this new server and report on whether it allows you to get a 
login screen or not.

Thanks for testing,

Harold

Re: problems with libX11.a

Mark,

Thanks, those instructions work until it gets to the 'nbreaker' demo:

Linking /home/harold/x-devel/ports/MicroWindows/build/src/bin/launcher ...
Updating dependencies in 
/home/harold/x-devel/ports/MicroWindows/build/src/demos
/nbreaker ...
Compiling animate.c ...
In file included from animate.c:41:
nbreaker.h:160: error: syntax error before "GR_PIXMAP_ID"
nbreaker.h:160: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union
nbreaker.h:161: warning: type defaults to `int' in declaration of `a'
nbreaker.h:161: warning: data definition has no type or storage class
nbreaker.h:171: error: syntax error before '}' token

Seems that GR_PIXMAP_ID is not defined in the included headers.  Can you 
describe how you worked through this?

Respected sir/madam,

I want to know how to INSTALL C compiler of lower version on
current release of CYGWIN,which I have recently downloaded and installed 
from cygwin site.

Currently installed CYGWIN details :
VERSION: CYGWIN 1.3.x
COMPILER: gcc - 3.3.1

My Requirement:
To install lower version of C compiler,details
COMPILER:gcc - 2.95.3

Are they any options in the setup.exe to add packages
apart from the list of packages existing in setup.exe.

I am in the process of installing Speech tools for TTS
which requires only C compiler of Version gcc - 2.95.3

RE: Installation Clarification

gcc 2.95.3 was removed last year.
Several people on the Cygwin list complained that it was making a lot of
errors, so Chris removed it.
Read up on GCC 3.3.1, and see if you can make your progect work with it,
else find an old mirror that has the binary code for 2.95.3.

Re: Installation Clarification

M Nageshwara Rao,

Installing an older version of gcc on the current version of Cygwin is 
not supported.

However, that discussion is off-topic for this mailing list and should 
be sent to cygwin <at> cygwin.com.  I warn you though, that they are simply 
going to tell you that this is unsupported.

I'm a little confused as to what I should do where! :-)

I start up cygwin/x and it immediately displays the xdm login from the
slackware system.  The only thing I can do then is log into to my
linux system.

Do I then need to run a *local* cygwin window on my win2k system and
run 'xwinclip'?  In that case what will running 'xhost 127.0.0.1' on
the remote system do?  (I know what xhost does, I just don't see what
it has to do with running xwinclip).

Or have I got hold of completely the wrong end of the stick?

The xserver running on the windows host is setup to accept only clients
from the session started by xdm. xhost now tells the server (which is
on the windows computer) to allow connections from local (to the xserver)
clients.

This means the xhost 127.0.0.1 tells the xserver to accept connections
from the windows host. After that you can start xwinclip on the windows
host.
