problems with cygwin/x

I can't see default anywhere. If you mean the default version, then yes, when curr is selected at the top, all packages which have updates, will be updated. The current version of the setup program, 2.850 (64 bit), on the select packages screen, features a default option. Please see; http://cpm86.com/default.jpg The four options are; Install; Reinstall; Uninstall; Default I just want to be sure; to install only the latest updates, I would choose 'Default' ? next question : if I delete the start menu option Cygwin/x and run the setup program for option default, it doesn't re-create the start menu option Cygwin/x is this 'feature' acknowledged, and is it being addressed? The start menu link for for the X server is owned by the package xinit. If you reinstall that package, it should be recreated. That's the answer I was looking for. Thank you. I have a further question. Choosing menu item Cygwin-X / X Win Server boots X windows. If you right click on the 'X' icon in the lower right side of the screen, it features applications xterm / emacs / notepad / xload. Is it possible to tailor the list of applications referenced above? to include say xclock, xeyes And yet another question; I note the presence of a number of files in \usr\bin which start with 'gnome'. Does Cygwin/x feature gnome or kde as user interfaces? or does it only allow compilation of apps which use features of those interfaces? -- 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: glwDrawingAreaWidgetClass
On 13/10/2014 02:48, Chris Carlson wrote: I have a fairly large program that I developed on Fedora Linux. It uses glwDrawingAreaClassRec to create a GL window. I attempted to compile and run it on Cygwin, and I got the failure. I added a print statement just before calling XtCreateManagedWidget() and discovered the value was 0 on Cygwin and an address on Linux. I presumed that meant there was an issue. To get around the problem, I downloaded the source from Mesa and compiled it myself. The .a that was generated identifies the following (using nm): 0640 D glwDrawingAreaClassRec 0728 D glwDrawingAreaWidgetClass I then compared it to /lib/libGLw.dll.a and got this: nm /lib/libGLw.dll.a | grep DrawingAreaClass I __imp_glwMDrawingAreaClassRec I __nm_glwMDrawingAreaClassRec I __imp_glwDrawingAreaClassRec I __nm_glwDrawingAreaClassRec Unfortunately, this isn't telling you anything useful as the __imp import symbols are fixed up at run-time. Now I tried compiling your test program and found that it did work as you showed, but I then added the include of GLwDrawA.h, and it fails. This doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me, and it doesn't seem right. The issue is that without the extern, the declaration of glwDrawingAreaWidgetClass is also a 'tentative definition' If there are no other references to symbols in libGLw, then that tentative definition (with a value of 0) will be used by ld as the definition. (Linking with a shared library on linux is more relaxed) What do you think? If I want to use the GLwDrawingAreaWidgetClass, I would presume that I should include the corresponding header file and the class would be defined.
