Norman,
Since 'X' has just VERY recently been added as an option to the
Cygwin Installer the fallout from this has not hit the Cygwin list yet
and having been 'toasted' once there over this issue I am hesitant
to bring it up again
So I have a suspicion that we will have to find our own way around
this issue or we might have to run an X Server just to develop FGFS
in a 'standard' Cygwin enviroment :-(
I don't expect anyone to deal with running FlightGear under Cygnus' X,
right? Besides, this sure isn't worth a lot of trouble with the Cygwin gang.
We just should keep in mind there's a problem and add a note in the proper
places (I'll do so in the next version of the Getting Started).
Sure, a better solution might be having the configure scripts detecting X
being installed in conjunction with Cygwin and spitting a corresonding
message. It souldn't be too hard (I recall at least the PLIB configure
script noted the X libs being found as such).
Regards, Michael
