Hmm, the changes to startx in that patch were supposed to take care of the
unquoted $HOME... Did the patch apply cleanly, or were some chunks
rejected? That particular patch was against XFree86-bin-4.3.0-7, so it's
possible that startx changed between that and -8...

the *solution* was a cheat. I commented out the references in startx to
$HOME. Since I don't have specific configurations, this is an acceptable
white lie.
The version of lesstif is 0.93.91-6. Interestingly enough, it's -2 on the

FWIW, if it was your HOME that contained "Documents and Settings", you can
"mount 'c:/Documents and Settings' /home", and refer to

still a band-aid, but a better one than using DOS-style paths.

What was the problem? What was missing in the original patch? Please
share your fixes with the community - that way we all benefit.
AFAIK, mwm doesn't paint the contents of the windows - it only controls
the border, cursors, and other decorations. I doubt your problem is
related to the paths.
Okay, got startx to starup with out errors. It even works great with twm.
However, if I switch to mwm, by just modifying startx, it starts the
manager, paints the windows and clock, but, does not recognize *any* input,
either keyboard or mouse. Is this the same kind of issue? And if so, based

Well, that didn't fix it. But you gave me somewhere to look. I might try
the old dos way of naming directories, i.e. with the ~. I'll let ya know.

Thanks! That makes sense. I'll apply/look at the patch and go from
there!

Greetings,
I've recently installd cygwin on both a win98 machine and a winxp machine.
The win98 installs works great (except for being really slow, but that's a
hardware issue.) On the XP side, I've installed it, but getting some
strange behavior. If I do a 'startx', I get the following:

Well, I believe that something like 'You have to directly edit the

are passed to the configure script, such as --enable-debug or
--enable/disable-static' would/should be included there.

I would also suggest ssh tunnels for what you are trying to do. That is
what I do myself. If you
really do not want to do that, a replacement for
MYIP=`hostname -i` rexec -l "setenv DISPLAY $MYIP:0;
/opt/SAS82/sas"
might be
MYIP=`ipconfig | grep "IP Address" | awk '{print $NF}'` rexec -l

First try:
MYIP=`hostname -i` rexec -l "setenv DISPLAY $MYIP:0; /opt/SAS82/sas"
but hostname -i does not work on cygwin. But maybe the name of the host is
sufficient
MYIP=`hostname` rexec -l "setenv DISPLAY $MYIP:0; /opt/SAS82/sas"
But ipconfig does .

To ask a simple question:
When are the dll supposed to get created during the build/install
process?
*duh* okay -- I did not look in the *-announce archives. But I did see
this same text in the lesstif.README of the distribution. Maybe I did
not understand it... I interpret these points ("Port

Howdy,
We've just had a look at cygwin-xfree and are very impressed. However,
we'd like to bundle it for our users so that we have a some pre-defined
'sessions' available e.g. connect to a Unix host, run SAS then have the
output sent to an cygwin-xfree server. Unix commands are not the forte

I believe that this cygwin-wrapper is broken. I tried already to
