Re: [1.7] Dr. Zell to the rebuild room...
Yaakov writes: Dr. Volker Zell, Hi Yaakow libxcb/libX11 1.2, released together with xorg-server 1.6 for Cygwin 1.7, completely removed the libxcb-xlib library. Due to the nature of libtool, your libtool libraries which were built for libxcb/libX11-1.1 on Cygwin 1.5 need to be rebuilt on Cygwin 1.7 to remove the references to the defunct libxcb-xlib.la. The packages in question are: aalib gd t1lib libwmf Thanks! Some private problems prevent me for working with cygwin the last couple of month. Right now I'm catching up with the almost final 1.5 distribution. I'm also in the middle of downloading the new 1.7 release. I'll try to install it ASAP and will try to rebuild all of my packages. Of course I'll start with the ones you mentioned above.

start xterm automatically
I'd like to set it so that when I run cygwin it automatically launches an xterm shell but Im having problems. I normally run cygwin and then run startxwin.bat (which works fine). I can not just put startxwin.bat in .bash_profile because it will loop opening shells (it resourced .bash_profile everytime which in turns opens a new xterm). I thought this might because the xterm I was opening up in startxwin.bat was a login shell but I changed the xterm command from -ls to +ls (a non login shell, and thus it should not resource .bash_profile but it still does). Ideally I want to run cygwin, have it automatically open a login xterm shell, and then auto close the cygwin shell. Any suggestions. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/start-xterm-automatically-tp25375737p25375737.html Sent from the cygwin-xfree mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- 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/

Fatal error
Hello, I have just downloaded Cygwin to do some modelling of some of my research results. I've also installed the X server, Version 1.5.3 (20090222). When I run the X W it gives me the following error message: Fatal error, open /var/log.xwin.0.log, Xwin was started with the following command-line: Xwin -mulitiwindow -clipboard The program still performs the modelling I need, but I just wanted to ask what I can do to fix the error that being reported. I am not very familiar with the Unix environment, but should be able to fix this with some advice. I've refrained from just trying myself because I can still use it for my main purpose and I don't want to mess that up.
