Most importantly, this won't fix the bug in future releases. A proper patch will do much more good in the long term, compared to a one-time hack. Additionally, you are violating the GPL because you offer binaries with no source code. It is not sufficient to say you can get the source code from any Cygwin mirror, you have to offer it on the same place as the binaries. Even if you were offering unmodified binaries you would still be obligated to host a copy of the source code. As a thought experiment as to why this is so, consider if in 5 years time someone stumbles onto your site, downloads your binaries, and then wants the source. But suppose that the source for this version is no longer available on the Cygwin mirrors, or perhaps the Cygwin project has disbanded entirely. You are now unable to fulfill this request which is a direct violation of the license. This is why the GPL states that you cannot rely on third parties to make the source available. It is a technicality, but it is also a very common mistake.

Re: trying to build against X
I got the same problem building mrxvt.
$ ./configure
...
checking for X... no
configure: error: Mrxvt requires the X Window System libraries and headers.
I read the configure program. Looks like it is trying to find
libXt.{a|so|sl} but failed. I did find libXt.dll.a in my installation, but
not libXt.a. Are they the same thing?
What do I need to do to get libXt.a?

XWin 100%
Hi, I have this problem (without Rdestop) too. gdb --pid ... shows a loop in the function _Xi18n_lock (). On my WinXP 64 the X server is quite unstable and crashes sometime.

problem displaying Java GUI
Hello, I've looked in the archives for this list and found two or three similar issues but no resolution. I am running Cygwin on Windows 2000 and connecting to a Solaris box. I can connect via ssh and run applications like xterm, xclock, and xcalc successfully. Running my own Java code, compiled on the Solaris machine, fails to display on my Windows machine. I get the following message: Warning: Cannot convert string -monotype-arial-regular-r-normal--*-140-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1 to type FontStruct then nothing. This behavior occurs with both the -X and -Y ssh switches. Has anyone solved this problem?

Can't make XWin on secondary monitor big enough...
I've got a Thinkpad with a 1024x768 LCD screen connected to a 21 CRT monitor which I've enabled as a secondary monitor at 1600x1200 resolution. I'd like to run XWin in windowed mode on the secondary monitor and take up the full resolution. However, try as I might, I can't make XWin any bigger than 1024x768 on the secondary monitor. Here are the obvious command-lines I've tried: XWin -screen 0 [EMAIL PROTECTED] This results in a 1024x768 windowed XWin on the secondary monitor XWin -screen 0 @2 -fullscreen This results in a 1024x768 fullscreen XWin on the primary monitor Any ideas? -Tom -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
RE: Can't make XWin on secondary monitor big enough...
Isn't the command somewhat like this? ... XWin -screen 0 1000 768 blah blah I have yet to reach to the point in the cygwin/x docs where it allows the command with options such as -screen 0 [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Are we allowed to specify arguments of this option this way? (I'm not too prone to reading user docs/guides until I get into trouble). My actual command is XWin -screen 0 1900 1400 -multiplemonitors -emulate3buttons -scrollbars -clipboard -silent-dup-error I believe multiplemonitors option allows cyg/x to recognise the second monitor and to allow you to move your cyg/x window to the second monitor, which I always do. I needed the scrollbars option for reasons I cannot clearly recall. Without the option, I seem to recall I could not stretch cyg/x window to the extremities of my large second monitor without maximizing the window. == Somewhat Important Disclaimer. == This email, while purporting to be true, should not have its purporting to be true be in any way that you might construe as legally binding as super-glue.

No. libXt.a would be a static library, while libXt.dll.a is an import
library for the shared cygXt-6.dll.
You'll need to patch the configure script to look for
libXt.{a|dll.a|so|sl} instead.
