Re: Problems compiling xsystem35 under cygwin

[Harold L Hunt II]

Morgan,

Cygwin/XFree86 is not currently built with, and won't soon be built 
with, the X SHM (Shared memory extension) enabled.  We cannot enable X 
SHM until Cygwin has a stable shared memory system.  Shared memory is 
part of the ongoing effort to improve the Interprocess Communications 
(IPC) systems in Cygwin.

I am not sure what xsystem35 is or what it does, but perhaps there is a 
way to configure it to be built without needed shared memory.  If not, 
you can compile your own version of Cygwin/XFree86 with shared memory 
enabled (just be sure to have Cygwin's shared memory system installed 
and configured correctly first), then build and run xsystem35.  Or, you 
could use the precompiled binaries distributed by the KDE on Cygwin 
project that already have SHM enabled.

Hope that helps,

Harold
