Help about xorg-x11-fnts
Hello, I have downloaded xorg-x11-fonts-6.8 but I don't know how to compile it.There is no typical Makefile and no configure script.Please explain me step by step how to compile it and get use of X11 in Cygwin.I have downloaded all other needed packages But it is very difficult for me to download huge 16 MB xorg-x11-fnts binary file. I copied the package to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts but again When I try to run X I get error about 'fixed font'. What should I do? Thanks

I copied the package to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts Don't copy it -- use the Cygwin setup program to install it. The X.Org X packages use Imakefiles instead of Makefiles -- there's adequate documentation on X.org. But read on. but again When I try to run X I get error about 'fixed font'. What should I do? Normally, you'd be referred to the Cygwin/X FAQ at http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html#q-error-font-eof. However, in this case, that would be useless, as you didn't use a prescribed procedure to install the packages, so anything could be happening. This kind of installation isn't (and cannot be) supported on the Cygwin lists. Igor P.S.

The fonts are built from a large source distribution containing everything from X. The xorg-x11-*-src packages are just snippets of the large distribution. The build from the source packages does not properly work and requires good knowledge of make and the directory layout of X11.
