Hello all,
I'm wanting to experiment with XFree86 on cygwin so I decided I'd try
to build it from source (plus I'd like Xft2 :)). I downloaded X CVS and
added #include <cygwin.rules> to config/cf/host.def. However, after
issuing make World, make install, and make install.man, I found that
although X would run, (XWin -rootless was very very cool) any
application that didn't come with X would report that it could not find
libX11.dll and applications like xterm were missing.
I looked into it and from googling and checking the XFree86 packages
from cygwin I discovered libX11.dll goes in /usr/X11R6/bin.
/usr/X11R6/bin is in my PATH variable, but the X compile produced no
libX11.dll, just libX11.dll.a which was symlinked to libX11-6.dll.a.
My question is this:
What did I do wrong? How can I get a libX11.dll and how can I get xterm
working from source?
Any hints would be greatly appreciated. And in advance, thanks for your
time.
