Hello, here what i got from Aaron Newcomb as an answer for the problem i described on 25. April. I tried it and it works.
Gregor, I happend to read your post on the cygwin/XFree mailing list archive. I ran into the same problem and was able to fix it. It seems that the new cygwin install program does not install all the necessary libraries that are needed to run the XFree86 install. Here is what I had to do. INSTALLATION: To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up 'gettext' from the 'Libs' category. You may need to click the "Full" (or "View") button if it doesn't show up. You might want to make sure you update/install ALL of the following three packages: gettext-0.10.40-1 libintl1-0.10.40-1 libintl-0.10.38-3 I also had to install pcre to get the script to run properly. I hope this helps. You might want to pass this info back to the mailing list if you are still subscribed since I do not plan on subscribing right now.

When i try to install with ./Xinstall i get a Windows Error Message that the cygintl-1.dll is missing. Nevertheless the Xinstall script starts and examined the file extract.exe and comes to the conclusion that this file si not correct renamed it and then the script stops.
