Harold, We had this discussion in the past, and yes I *have* read the cygwin-xfree contributor's guide and followed your directions WORD-FOR-WORD, except for removing the NO_TCP_H and defining font building. I checked out the Xfree tree with the 4.2.0 sticky tag. I then updated the xwin

Alan, Hmm... as usual I misspoke... I was bitching about the ``findfonts'' script which runs on the installed fonts rather than on fonts being built. I'll have to look into the font build utility problem. I hate it when I get confused. Anyway, here is what I wrote to the XFree86 devel list.

Am I to follow the old adage that no news is good news in regards to Test 63? Test 60 through Test 63 changed over a thousand lines of code, with a lot of those changes occuring in Test 63; I can hardly believe that we haven't trigged lots of new bugs. In case you missed the announcement, you

I have been kicking around an idea that I'd like some feedback on. The Cygwin/XFree86 project is at the point where it is nearly a replacement for the commercial X Servers for Microsoft Windows. There remain only a few features that need to be implemented in order for most businesses to find
