I think you should describe exactly why you want to put XFree86 in a COM object, for what purpose, what you would use it for etc. I presume you mean you want to make it an ActiveX control, is this true? actually yes, thanks for the more correct term.. an ActiveX control. :) as described in

KH, What is am saying is that COM, by itself, is something you have to sit down with for a few months before you even realize if what you are suggesting is possible. No amount of pointers from other people are going to help. Similarly, X is something that you have to sit down with for a few

hmmm... i'd certainly avoid porting XFree86 to use win32 instead of cygwin... i have a feeling it'd be a *lot* of effort... i'm thinking.. if it might work if all the .dll files and XWin.exe required were compiled to .o or .a files.. then using a COM object, statically link in all those .o or .a
