The problem with the tar files was that I'd used the -o option to tar when creating the tar files. This creates smaller tar files but apparently setup.exe doesn't like the old style tar format. Anyway, I'm just operating on a hunch here but I'll be REALLY interested to hear if this repackaging fixes the problems that people were seeing. If it does, I'll look into the setup code to see why that is. Thanks for your effort, Chris. I'll try it on Monday ASAP when I am in office again.

fontconfig/fontconfig.h is missing
Hi folks, although I've reinstalled Xorg and now the X11 libs are present, libfontconfig-devel seems still have problems. I reassured, that the downloaded package, that was reinstalled today, includes the fontconfig/fontconfig.h file, but the header files were not installed though. - Jörg

Dear Sirs, I have the follwing problems: when I start xwin the size of window is too small for me and I can not make it larger (it is 1/4 of the size of the whole window). I do not see well and I have a problems when I have to work with xmrace. I can not start multiwindows regime also. Can some one tell me how it can be done. On my computer it does not work.

Oops. libfontconfig-devel-2.2.2-1.tar.bz2 was the package that I experimented with initially so I'd pulled it from the big list of files that I converted -- meaning that it wasn't reconverted when I fixed things. It's ok now and will be on a mirror near you soon. Sorry again for messing things up. It's too bad that setup.exe doesn't understand files built the way I built them since the tar files are smaller. cgf
Re: Problems with ssh and tunnelling with cygwin 1.5.12

I'm redirecting my reply there -- please remove cygwin at cygwin dot com from further discussion. I'm using Exceed as an X-windows client, not Xorg, so I don't think it is. In any case, I thought that all ssh cared about was whether there was a DISPLAY set or not. When I look at the task manager, I see that sh.exe is taking up all of ^^ the available CPU. If I kill sh.exe from the task manager, ssh ^^ continues fine and I am connected and tunnelling. Is this really sh.exe?

Are your ssh config files customized? Are you running keychain, or autossh, or any other ssh-related scripts? I just uninstalled everything. I reinstalled nothing but the default packages and open-ssh. I'm running /usr/bin/ssh out of the box with no modifications. As you can see from the ps, sh is being started by ssh. As I mentioned before, if I kill sh.exe from the task manager, everything works fine (i.e. it finishes logging in and I can display things from the remote machine). Are you running Cygwin's ssh? Are you running /usr/bin/ssh, or is ssh aliased to anything? Is your DISPLAY set when you run ssh.exe? Have you tried trusted X forwarding (ssh -Y)? I'm running /usr/bin/ssh. ssh -Y has the same symptoms as ssh -X bash-2.05b$ echo $DISPLAY localhost:0.0 I'm running XP pro, service pack 2. I've turned off the XP firewall and Sophos virus programs and still get the same behaviour. The same behavir happens on this machine with cygwin 1.5.11 as well. Has anybody ever seen this before?

Re: Can't get startwin.bat to work
Mark, It works fine if I open it up using a cygwin shell. That is not the problem. When I run form a Windows cmd and run startxwin.bat, it does not work. I've tried to do it manually with this command: run XWin -clipboard -silent-dup-error no xwindow comes up with the checkered background. If I do this from within bash: XWin -clipboard -silent-dup-error there are no problems. A little more research shows that at the cmd line that if I do not use the run, then the Xwindows screen will come up but I can't startup the xterm since this is not returned to the prompt. I've tried: start /b XWin -clipboard -silent-dup-error and this works great It looks as if the run command is broken. In summary, the run command does not seem to work. the start /b option is the thing to use, at least with Windows 2000.

If you open in multiwindow mode (native mode by default), then I wouldn't expect anything to happen until your X Server actually has a client window to display. open up a cygwin bash shell, make sure your DISPLAY is set, or give the -display option to some xclient (xterm, xclock, etc), and see if it pops up on your desktop.

The windowed mode does not work properly. You can start XWin with -nodecoration or -multiwindow or -rootless which all work fine. But the windowed mode will not work. This is because run is designed to supress the console window. Somehow windows supresses the x11 window too.
