Dear Cygwin-xfree people : I am trying to compile xmgrace with a few of my own (very minor) modifications and to run under Cygwin. I have already compiled it successfully on a Linux machine. However, I could not get it to run on Cygwin.
So , I tried the basic source without my modifications -- even then, the executable I compile under Cygwin gives a SIGSYS (Signal 6) when trying to open certain (but not all) dialog boxes. The binary installed from Cygwin setup does not give this problem. This is the Grace-5.1.12 version. I had a similar problem with ddd on Linux using LessTif 0.93.91, and Danny fixed the problem in November. Is it possible that the same bug is causing this? Can the default LessTif be upgraded (or downgraded? ) The bug was #849599 and was fixed in version 0.93.94 (see LessTif bug database and forwarded reply below) However, if this were the problem, I still don't see why the downloaded binary should work but the compiled binary should not? They use shared libraries for LessTif, don't they? I used the following procedure: 1. use Cygwin setup to obtain the source archives 2. ./grace-5.5.12-1.sh prep 3. cd grace-5.5.12 4. ./configure 5. make 6. make tests during tests, opening the dialog boxes causes the fault 7. make install 8. make links 9. /usr/local/bin/xmgrace the same fault occurs.
