Hello,
obviously XWin.exe uses files in /usr/bin, see below:
Assume, I've forgotten to add the string
'\usr\X11R6\bin;\cygwin\bin;\cygwin\usr\bin'
to the env variable PATH.
If I invoke 'xwin.exe -' now, nothing happens.
The prompt of the CLI (command line interface) returns immediately
without any message.
In the case I've added '\cygwin\bin' to the env variable PATH
I receive a lot of command line parameters trying to launch 'xwin.exe -'.
IMO, I would appreciate, when 'XWin.exe' outputs a error message, that
it hasn't found certain programs which are necessary for the operation
of 'XWin.exe'.
greetings
Karl Philipp
