freenode.net - IRC channel for the project?

2003-10-27 Thread Harold L Hunt II
Would someone here care to set us up an IRC channel on irc.freenode.net? I think 'cygwinx' would be an appropriate name. We could have some development discussions there as well as answering questions from users. I think it would be a beneficial format. With that being said, I don't op IRC

Of course not, don't be silly. This is something that we could do in addition to this mailing list. I like the format of IRC and I think I could answer questions more quickly there. I also think that some development discussions would be better off in IRC. It is something I want to try, that

Cygwin/XFree86 - No longer associated with XFree86.org

2003-10-27 Thread Harold L Hunt II
It seems that David Dawes has made his decision not to let the Cygwin/XFree86 project commit patches directly to the XFree86.org CVS tree; he doesn't seem to want to go on record saying this, but he has written several messages during this discussion about ftp servers, cvs servers, etc., while

I have thought about it. There are really two phases to this: 1) Maintain a fork of the 4.3.0 tree for builds and bug fixes for a few months. 2) Work in parallel on autotooling the Cygwin/X build so we can build on the xserver tree on freedesktop.org. This is more of an experimental setup.

Sorry, Harold. I've been really busy today, and I'm a DLL dunce. I've been trying to wrap my head around the problem so as to offer something useful. I understand the basic issues involved and could see the problem after the lesstif list responded with that FAQ entry. But, I don't know enough

The lesstif-0.93.91-3 package has been updated in the Cygwin distribution. Changes: 1) Remember to build shared libraries this time, which required fixups by Nicholas Wourms. 2) Use the OS/2 VendorShell fixup. This should fix problems with LessTif apps crashing on startup and generally
