xf86vmode.h missing
Hi, I'm trying to compile some old program (last update 2003) and it's failing due to a missing xf86vmode.h, in particular it's trying to use the XFree86-VidModeExtension via XF86VidModeModeLine, XF86VidModeGetModeLine and XF86VidModeGetViewPort. (It may try to use other missing things, but that's what I get out of the compiler before it stops.) By doing a package search on cygwin.com this header only shows up in 4 versions of xorg-x11-devel which is marked as obsolete. I couldn't find anything relevant in google and cygwin mailing list archives regarding this extension/header, so my questions are: Does this API still exist or is it obsolete and has been replaced? If it still exists in which header/package can I find them? In case the API is obsolete it would be nice if you could point me to what replaced it.

In case the API is obsolete it would be nice if you could point me to what replaced it. This X extension is not supported on Cygwin, hence the corresponding headers and client library are not provided as they would serve no purpose. If the program you're trying to build absolutely requires the functionality of XFree86-VidModeExtension, then you're out of luck. Usually, however, this is or can be made to be optional, depending on the nature of the program.

Problem installing cygwin/X on vista sp2 64bit
Hi, I have always installed and used cygwinX on my windows Xp machines without any problem. I have been trying to install on my new Vista 64 bit laptop and I cannot figure out what is going wrong. I read all the topics in the mailing list but I could not find anyone with my same problem. My setup.log is below. The result is that when I launch the bash shell no matter what command I type I receive the message command not found. I hope someone can help me.

I do go out of my way to actually provide the links to them when I use them, as you noticed. I went on the bin directory cd C:/cygwin/bin, I typed cygcheck -s -v -r and still it says command not found. I manually went in the directory and the file seems to be there.. I'm getting the feeling that you're not used to Unix/Linux or command-line oriented environments. If that's the case, you may want to rethink about using Cygwin or look up a tutorial or two on Unix/Linux to help you get oriented. The reason what you typed didn't work is because you are in a directory which isn't in your path and you didn't say where to find 'cygcheck'. You need to do one of the following: 1. Use the fully qualified path (i.e. c:\bin\cygcheck.exe) 2. Use the relative path to specify the current directory (i.e. .\cygcheck.exe) 3. Add c:\bin to your Windows path so you don't have to do either of 1 or 2. The funny thing is that also ls does not work.. See above. Same problem. (I deleted all the old messages...is it ok ? I don't understand what I should do with the TOFU problem..) Deleting everything can be fine, if there's no critical context.
