Cygwin installation on windows server2003

2007-12-11 Thread Pradnya Vairagare
Hi,

I'm facing problem in installing cygwin on windows
server 2003. Installation doesn't proceed after 10% or
so.

Can someone suggest what is missing to install cywin
successfully? What are the steps need to follow or
some settings need to do?

Thanks,
Pradnya

I did that several times. Works just fine.
No special steps.
(Windows 2003 is very compatible to XP)

David

This can be caused by http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#BLODA.
Check into this or other AV/firewall/anti-spam software you
have installed.

Compiling XWin (modular Xorg)

2007-12-11 Thread Janjaap Bos
Hi,

To make XWin compile succesfully using the git sources from Xorg (7.3),
I have created a patch. (See below for url)

I encountered the following issues:

Overloading Xfont functions: Starting up XWin would fail with errors
regarding locating the font. See for example the report by Yaakov
earlier (2006) on this mailing list. These font errors appear to be
caused by a failure in the function overloading. For example, in
libXfont the RegisterFPEFunctions function is defined weak and should be
overloaded with RegisterFPEFunctions defined in dixfont.c in the
xserver. However, such overloading will only work for CYGWIN when
libXfont is compiled static with xserver and not as a runtime dll.

Changes in shadow code: Commit 9148d8700b7c5afc2644e5820c57c509378f93ce
has broken the shadowRedisplay routine in miext/shadow.c and the
corresponding functions in xwin such as winShadowUpdateGDI. The
computation of REGION_NOTEMPTY fails. A workaround is implemented to
directly call winRedrawScreenShadowDD. This should be fixed by reviewing
the changes of the commit and modifying the xwin code.

mieqEnqueue API changes: Due to the modular mieqEnqueue API changes, the
xwin code needed changes. Also mouse (pointer) MOVE events needed to be
enqueued seperately. It's not clear what caused the latter.

Windows clipboard integration: Is currently broken.


The changes I made are all in the patch. Let me know when you have
suggestions, and whether you're able to build it. Perhaps Yaakov is
willing to check it with his findings.

Further info, and a downloadable patch is at:

-Janjaap Bos

Thank you VERY much.  I will try to look into this into the near future,
as the server is the only holdup in getting X11R7 finished on Cygwin.
