Porting an application to Cygwin Lesstif issues for a Newbie
Hello, I'm trying to compile a set of open source software for processing sonar data (MB-System) on cygwin. The software comes with an install script that asks one to specify a few directories for Lesstif/Motif. On a RedHat Linux box, the lines would look like this: $MOTIFINCDIR = /usr/X11R6/LessTif/Motif1.2/include; $MOTIFLIBS = -L/usr/X11R6/LessTif/Motif1.2/lib -lXm -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXt -lX11; I'm not at all knowledgeable regarding these details, but in trying to find comparable places under cygwin I note the following: 1) There is no Motif1.2 dir under /usr/X11R6/LessTif, in fact, there is only documentation there. 2) There's an Install file that reads, in part: On windows using Cygwin, U/WIN or Interix, LessTif must be built as static libraries. Because, one of the biggest issues with X on Win32 is the moronic DLL format. Specifically - it is not possible to export data from a Win32 DLL in a form that can be used to statically initialize another global variable. Data access from a DLL requires at least one pointer indirection, and hence executable code. This is why X11R6 doesn't have DLLs for Xt/Xmu/Xaw (and Motif) on Win32 My Questions: 1) Does the text above imply, since the sonar processing software requires Xt and X11R6 on Cygwin doesn't have a dll for it, that this software is incompatible and not compilable? Am I wasting my time? 2) If it's still possible to get this to work, would anyone have any idea, based on the example for Linux, what to specify for Cygwin?

Again: it works for twm+xterm (they are run from remote host too). AG How can layout change from KDE work in twm, when KDE is not loaded? Not from KDE, but from keyboard! Here are two situations: (1) twm + xterm (remote), XFree86-cygwin with config where group change is ctrl+shift (local). When I press ctrl+shift TWO things happens: (a) Windows' keyboard layout is being changed for XFree86 window -- it could be seen by changing letters on tray (b) XFree86 XKB's layout is being changed: xterm shows RUSSIAN letters on next keypresses. (2) KDE with group change is ctrl+shift (remote), XFree86-cygwin with config where group change is ctrl+shift (local). When I press ctrl+shift ONE things happens: (a) Windows' keyboard layout is being changed for XFree86 window -- it could be seen by changing letters on tray KDE's (XKB) layout is not changed! But clicking on switch icon in KDE works! It is ONE server and ONE server's config. Or even better: I start xterm (without any WM), and ctrl+shift works, then I start `startkde' from xterm and when KDE loading is finished ctrl+shift doesn't work anymore. After that I'm logging out from KDE (only xterm still to be live) and ctrl+shift DON'T work! It seems, that KDE corrupt XKB config... But I have KDE configured to have Ctrl+Shift as group change! There is problem in KDE+Xfrtee86-cygwin pair, not in XFree86-cygwin itself. AG Until proven otherwise I'd assume that _KDE_ does not react on the keypress. AG As you wrote the layout change via clicking the icon does work, so the XKB AG part is working.

priority assistance
19-02-03 The International Red Cross Society Refugee Rehabilitation Center BP 6042 Ougadougou BURKINA FASO Dear Honourable friend, First I must give thanks to Almighty God for preserving my life for this moment. And by his special grace I got your contact in a local directory. I am Adolphus Benedict Guei, son of Late General Robert Guei former Ivorian military Head of State killed on 19th September 2002 in an abortive coup bymembers of the Patriotic Movement for Cote d'Ivoire PMCI. My country once noted to be the most peaceful in Africa suddenly descended intoanarchy turning to a theatre of war . More thanks to United Nations High Commission for Refugees UNHCR, Economic Community of WestAfrica States ECOWAS ,International Red Cross Society IRCS, and Government of Burkina Faso for their hospitality towards thousands of displaced Ivorians in the refugee camps. I am camped in one of the United Nations Refugee Rehabilitation Centers in Burkina Faso and hope of returning to mycountry Cote D'Ivoire is not in sight as governmentand rebel forces have not arrived at a peacefultreaty. My greatest source of worry is that our family are target for elimination by same PMCI rebels who killed my father, hence we are accorded extra security in this camp. Among valuables I took with me is details of our family account in the sum of US$15. 6million invested in my name with a bank in European Union which my father entrusted to my custody, ifwe (the family) ever find ourselves in a situation ofthis nature. My father was a man of great foresight. Although I suspect this money was illegaly acquired at the expense of our country while he was the military head of state, but under this scenario you will believe with me that the end have justified the means. Presently, as a registered refugee under a special protection programme my movement is restricted. I have no access and funds to travel to Europe to negotiate for the release of this money. I now solicit your unreserved assistance and with vital agreements to act as proxy on behalf of our family and sign out the money to your custody. My family attorney is aware of our predicament. He will liase with financial bodies concerned to transfer funds to your ownership on our behalf. Once funds gets to your country you establish a medium scale industry with the funds under my supervision. I promise on my honour to give you 20% of this funds in question, and 20% share in any investment we will jointly embark upon if you eventually assist me. Acknowledge receipt of this mail while I eagerly look forward to your sincere and prompt opinion. Yours sincerely Adolphus Benedict Yakubba Guei
non-US keyboards
yeah i'm very very newbie but... i won't a keyboard for my language!
Re: non-US keyboards
Hi, I guess based on your email address that you're in Italy, so probably you don't know that KKK has a very, very bad connotation in the United States where many of the Cygwin subscribers reside. KKK is short for the Ku Klux Klan, a violently racist vigilante group that originated in the American South. It formed after our Civil War when American chattel slavery became unconstitutional and its members terrorized black Americans (and others) for decades. The organization still exists, sadly, and still perpetrates violent acts, though far fewer than it did in the early and mid 20th century. The name KKK is extremely offensive to many people, most of all to black Americans, but many non-black people find it offensive, too. I'd like to respectfully suggest that you change the name portion of your email address to something will a less distasteful connotation.
