 Dia,

 Hmm... I don't understand what is happening here.  Can anyone else
 confirm this?

Yes. Scenario here (Win2k Pro V5 Build 2195 SP4) for me is:

cyg startx from a bash console (fires a window manager-less xterm).
cyg ssh -X [EMAIL PROTECTED] (me FreeBSD 5.2 box)
bsd wmaker

A ctrl-c at the cyg bash console kills all X processes on bsd. Ditto 
if I fire up kde instead of windowmaker (and ditto kde/gnome apps from 
inside windowmaker). The X server is left running - appears to be the 
only thing immune to the ctrl-c. Quit it windoze style (click closer) 
and we're back to original cyg bash console. Aside from the 
uncerimonious terminations there don't appear to be any side-effects. 

If one were to imagine the ctrl-c being broadcast to all X descendants 
that about sums it up.

 Oooh. This is stranger than I thought. Some of those programs do
 get built
 correctly, despite the log messages. For instance in config/util,
 makestrs,
 revpath, and rman build ... but lndir doesn't.
 
 Probably because gcc -o foo yields foo.exe automatically but
 unfortunately dependencies and so forth won't know that. Your
 average
 configure  make app can sometimes get away with it - only to
 fail on
 the install  uninstall (good indication of this problem existing
 is
 make invokes the linker even though the last make succeeded). Sadly
 this
 is my first forray into the world of Imake so take my advice for
 this
 particular problem with a strong pinch of salt.

You'd think TOG would get a clue and switch to the autotools...

All that's required is for me to become 100% proficient in Imake. It
would guarantee it! :-)

Guy,

Okay, this looks reasonable.  I will take a look at it and submit it when I
get a chance.  Classes start today, so it may be a few days.

No problem. Things progress slow my end!

It does. Good Work :)

Thanks!

Well, I can't offer any help because I have no idea what you are doing.  In
order for me to help, or for me to even investigate this problem any further,
you are going to have to follow, exactly, the instructions for compiling that
are in the Cygwin/XFree86 Contributor's Guide
(http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/cg/).

I have, except for the folders. I'm compiling into obj-dbg and
obj-rel for debug and release versions respectively. Doesn't matter
whether the build is (makeg.sh)debug or release: failures are at the
same points.

You will then have to be very clear
about whether you are cross compiling or whether you are building on Cygwin,

Building on Cygwin. NT Workstation SP6a RC1.28. CYGWIN=binmode ntsec
codepage:oem

and you will have to tell me the precise step in the Contributor's Guide
instructions that you start to have problems at.  You will also have to send in
your World.log file (which will be generated if you follow the CG
instructions).

Step 7. make World which for the most part works. It's simply a few
.exe extensions getting added which are causing make's dependencies to
fail. Typically foo.exe.exe but sometimes foo.exe.blah.

As Alexander suggested, I performed (my first ever!) diff of my
Imakefile alterations against CVS tonight. It ought to precisely
identify the problem even if I've made a complete mess of doing them in
the required format.

I simply cannot spend time debugging each developers command-sequence that they
use for building.  You've got to stick to the prescribed sequence in order to
get help from me.

Fair enough.
