Downgrading Cygwin components and dependencies

2020-05-08 Thread Maarten Hoes via Cygwin
Hi, In another thread (that I did not want to hijack) it was mentioned that you can downgrade (parts of) your cygwin installation by selecting previous/older versions of things. In the cygwin installer, I can select (a few) older versions of the components by clicking on the drop down menu next

Hrm. That's odd. I just installed MSYS2 and followed the instructions provided in the QEMU wiki for MSYS2, and all preparatory steps of running msys2/pacman/git/configure (only excluding the actual 'make' for compilation) work as expected. There must be a difference between our

Hi, I have no personal experience with this, but when I take a look at the QEMU wiki, it seems that : [1] Builds with cygwin are not really supported. https://wiki.qemu.org/Hosts/W32#Native_builds_with_Cygwin [2] A supported way of building QEMU on Windows is with MSYS2

Hi, I tried a few different Desktop Environments for comparison. At least GNOME-Openbox, KDE-Openbox, Plasma, and MATE give me a black screen and no taskbar/menu, pop-up menu with right-click on background, etc., but I can start applications on them if I open a Cygwin prompt through the

Hi, When I run XLaunch and choose single window (or use the KDE 'Plasma' shortcut), I get a black window (or grey, when also supplying '-retro'), but I am not getting a desktop like when I do when I run KDE on Linux (KDE taskbar/menu, pop-up menu with right-click on background, etc.). Is there a
