First time installing XFree86
This is the first time I install XFree86 on Cygwin. I'm running all current packages and for now installed the following: XFree86-bin-4.3.0-3 XFree86-bin-icons-4.3.0-2 XFree86-etc-4.3.0-3 XFree86-lib-4.3.0-1 XFree86-prog-4.3.0-5 XFree86-startup-scripts-4.2.0-5 XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-11 XFree86-xwinclip-4.3.0-1 I skipped XFree86-fenc-4.2.0-3 and XFree86-fnts-4.2.0-3 since I'm using the fonts from my Linux partition (mounted with Ext2fsd 0.10a) to save some space. I don't know if the segfault I get starting xedit is related. All other applications I tried work. /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts is a symlink to /l/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts, which is read-only (directories dr-xr-xr-x and files -r--r--r--). Since I'm not going to run mkfontdir I suppose it should work. BTW, will XFree86-xwinclip-4.3.0-1 be recompiled ? It currently depends on XFree86-lib-compat. -- How to contact me - http://www.pervalidus.net/contact.html

It currently depends on XFree86-lib-compat. I am not sure if I will recompile xwinclip. I might. I might not. Can I ask why you are not using the internal version of xwinclip, accessed via the '-clipboard' parameter for XWin.exe? Harold

Here it just segfaults at startup. If yes, maybe I should install the encodings and fonts to see if I can reproduce it. Yesterday I compared the contents of both packages with my Linux fonts and didn't see any differences, so the only difference is the symlink to the XFree86 fonts directory of my Linux partition and the read-only flags.

Can I ask why you are not using the internal version of xwinclip, accessed via the '-clipboard' parameter for XWin.exe? I didn't know about it. I just read the descriptions and installed what I thought I'd use. Anyway, I'm not going to install XFree86-lib-compat just to run it, what I'll consider if I need other applications. -- How to contact me - http://www.pervalidus.net/contact.html

I was just testing the applications, but it obviously isn't related to the symlink and read-only. -- How to contact me - http://www.pervalidus.net/contact.html
xedit segfaults (was Re: First time installing XFree86)

Anyway, I tried compiling xedit (only) from CVS xf-4_3-branch and HEAD. Same problem. -- How to contact me - http://www.pervalidus.net/contact.html
