Greetings,
I am trying to figure out if I can "bypass" the xorg-x11-base package of
cygwin and use xorg-x11-base from cygwinports.
However, both the following files:
xorg-x11-base-7.0.0-1-src.tar.bz2
xorg-x11-base-7.0.0-1.tar.bz2
from ftp://sunsite.dk/projects/cygwinports/release/X11/xorg-x11-base/
seem empty or corrupted.
What I actually want to do is run gedit and similar gnome utilities, but
after completing the
installation from cygwin (including cygwin/X) and cygwinports and issue the
commands
gedit or gnome-terminal nothing happens, nothing appears and there is no
complain about anything.
I thing I followed all the given directions ("download only" from
cygwinports, "sed" on the setup.ini etc),
but the problem remains.
Moreover, since I intend to compile and install the geda package, I also
need
xorg-x11-fscl (scalable fonts) which do not seem to be provided by
cygwinports.
Thank you in advance for any help given.
Regards,
Theodore
