If I just run XGGI -targets directxnt, running xterm without any args brings up an xterm! So running xterm -e tcsh must be a path problem. 1a) The cygwin1.dll you sent me seems to have made the difference. 1b) Which shell is being run when I type xterm? My guess is that it's sh, but I'm not sure how, other than -e /g/contrib/bin/tcsh.exe, to tell it where to find tcsh. 1c) I was able to bring up a window on XGGI from another machine!!!! 2. XGGI doesn't refresh after the Windows screen saver finishes. It remains a black window. Will I be able to recover from this, or should I kill off the processes on the remote machine? 3. What's the relationship/difference between XGGI and xinit? /usr/X11R6/bin/xinit works, however it takes over the whole screen. (This may be good or bad, depending on how you look at it. I haven't decided yet, although I'm not sure how to bring up an NT window.) xinit is VERY slow. I'm not sure what the clean way of stopping xinit. I had to resort to killing off the process. This left all my tcsh windows trying to use all the cpu cycles. So I had to kill them off one by one. 4. Do you know where I can get a copy of rlogin? Thanks for your help!

If I remember correctly this was an issue with cygwin1.dll from snapshots couple of months ago, and should be fixed in the recent development snapshots. xinit should not consume cpu cycles the way you describe, unless there are other problems. Are you runing any disk defragment software as Windows NT, for example Diskeeper? I had this problem with Diskeeper, even though it was not runing but was scheduled to run on my NT machines in nite. It was consuming CPU cycles and making workstion awfully slow. Since then I trashed it. > > > > > 4. Do you know where I can get a copy of rlogin? Get the code from a Linux box and compile it.

The -lipc from #define ExtraLibraries was removed in the recent code base, which was uploaded 2 weeks ago. You must be working with XF3.9.18 source tree. Please edit the xc/config/cygwin.cf and remove -lipc from #define ExtraLibraries flags. Also change the #deifne HaveShm to NO in cygwin.cf.

The ibcygwin.a(libcmain.o)(.text+0x7f): undefined reference to `WinMain@16' means your setup is attempting to compile libX11.dll as an exectable. The problem must be some missing defines in cygwin.cf and cygwin.rules. I have used gcc compiler from Cygwin v 1.0 CD distribution as well as GCC 2.95.2 from Mumit Khan. Both work with the cygwin configuration files in xc/config/cf. Try the above make Makefiles and make depend etc.. if you still get `WinMain@16' that means something is wrong with your cygwin related config files in xc/config/cf.. in that case either update your source tree or let me know and I will send you the config files.

A while ago ORBS reported to rr.com smtp server as being OpenRelay sysem, they did not fix it and after repeated requests, ORBS permanently added entire rr.com Netblocks. Now RR.COM is not runing OpenRelay system, at least in my Zone (North Carolina) but ORBS is permanently blocking them. I sent messages to ORBS.org and they are not removing rr.com IPs, at least the one in my Zone, though servers are not OpenRelay any more. I think this kind of behavior from ORBS.ORG is rediculous. This puts entire ORBS databse integrity in question. It means ORBS would block permanently IP traffic from an ISP because of pervious differences or in the past the ISP blocked ORBS for reasons. > Most of it looks like it has built now - other than libGL which still has > problems, it looks as though it just missing the extra addins you added to > the binary distribution. > > > Also, there was typo error in the Imakefile for /programs/xload > -X11 should be -lX11 > Thanks.

Message-ID: <20000413172957.22062.rocketmail@web222.mail.yahoo.com> Dear Cygwinners: I have been working for a few weeks porting some apps and libraries from linux to win32 under cygwin. I have been successful building some DLL's that don't use X. (Yeah!) These DLL's include public DATA, so I learned the __declspec() trick. Overall, I think I understand the DLL process versus the *.so process under linux. My problem has been with a pesky X library that uses Motif. It works great in the example apps when compiled statically, but not dynamically in the DLL. The library uses: -lXm -lXt -lX11 -lSM -lICE It compiles the DLL without incident. The example compiles without incident. When I run the example I get the following to stderr: Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown event type : BtnMotion Warning: ... found while parsing ': ManagerGadgetButtonM otion()' Warning: String to TranslationTable conversion encountered errors Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown event type : EnterWindow Warning: ... found while parsing ': ManagerEnter()' Warning: String to TranslationTable conversion encountered errors Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown event type : Btn1Down Warning: ... found while parsing ': XmLFolderActivate()' Warning: String to TranslationTable conversion encountered errors Error: Couldn't find per display information No X window is built. I am no Xpert unfortunately. However, these warnings appear to be bubbling up out of Xt. Is it possible that the fact that Xt is only static is a problem??? In the list of libraries, Xm and Xt are both static and the others are dynamic. I found a note that pertains to this in the Cygwin-XFree FAQ. It is 3.12. The note leads me to believe that it is not possible to build an Xt dll due to a problem with static initialization of global data (perhaps precisely my problem). Anyway, I am fishing for advice on how to proceed. Is it possible that I need a dll version of Xt and Xm? Or is something else the issue? Thank you all for the advice. I would like to say that without lurking through the mailing list archive proceeding as far as I have with this project would have been flat out impossible.

Unfortunately, these variables do not appear to be the culprits. They are currently set to SET XKeysymDB=C:\usr\X11R6.4\lib\X11\XKeysymDB SET XErrorDB=C:\usr\X11R6.4\lib\X11\XErrorDB in cygnus.bat.

Previously I happened to mounted in textmode rather than binmode. The Xvnc is indeed from the contrib directory. Upon remounting in binmode, Xvnc promptly broke. Is binmode mounting a better choice as a rule?? In looking at the Xvnc source, it looks like it is designed for VC++ compilation solely, I saw no parallel make system to build it under gcc. You suggest converting the text files (to DOS I think). Which files? All such in the /usr/X11R6 perhaps? Or just the ones pointed to by the environment variables? Is not remounting in textmode a cleaner solution? I guess all this makes me think I chose the wrong X-server. Is there a better choice?

There is no need to recompile, unless you have a need to do it. Beware, there are some mistkaes in cygwin.cf files, and they were discussed 2 weeks ago on this list.

Sorry, find and ls -R seem to be behaving wacky on this system (something to do with the mount scheme, I'm guessing.) With Win98's file finder I can see a termcap.h and a libtermcap.a, but no "termcap" file on the system. I don't think I even got a /etc from setup.exe.

For my first contact with the PC world and Windows, I am trying to install on my new laptop a 3D graphic code that I had written under Unix. The main 3D part of this code is written in Fortran and its very simple 2D graphic interface is written in C with X11 routines. First I installed a Salford Fortran 77 compiler working in a DOS window, then I installed cygwin_b20 (or b20.1, I am not sure, but it seems to me that it was from????the last full.exe file a few days ago) to have the gcc compiler. Installation of Cygwin from the full.exe file was very easy. Both Salford ftn77 and Cygwin gcc compilers are working well in a Cygnus window with bash and I????can easily mix Fortran and C routines.????Salford and Cygwin are exactly what I needed. ???? The problems came when I tried to install cygwin/xfree, because my knowledge????about administration of operating systems and X11 is really near zero! I have downloaded the cygwin-xfree-x11r6.4-cygwin-b20.1.tar.bz2 archive, installed X11R6.4 in /usr, put /usr/X11R6.4/bin in my PATH variable, but I could not run any X11 utility, such as xterm :????Can't open Display! I guessed that this was because no X server was defined, so I downloaded XGGI.exe, although I have read on the web that most of the X servers for cygwin/xfree are still buggy (Use at your own risk !!!). I put XGGI.exe in /usr/X11R6.4/bin and made X as a link to XGGI.exe. Then remembering some features of X11 under Unix, I tried to start X11 with xdm or xinit. I could not use xdm (only root can use xdm, so how can I define root ?)????and xinit failed (LIBGG.0.0.6.DLL not found!). I have spent several hours on the web with a very bad connection, even on mirrors sites, I have read some FAQ and all information that I could reach, but I could not find a clear X11 installation guide for beginners or an automatic installation file such as the full.exe that I used for cygwin_b20. I should like to download only the binaries as I did for cygwin_b20, but what is not very clear is what should I download to make X11 work. Each readme file for a binary says that you need some other stuff from another place and????it is very difficult to have a clear overview of the minimum package that you really need. ???? Of course, I could rebuild the 2D interface of my code with some Fortran graphic routines that are available in Salford ftn77, but I should like to keep the X11 features of my code. My laptop is a Compaq Presario 1800-XL182 with a Pentium III processor at 500 MHz, 64 Mb memory and an ATI 3D Rage LT????PRO AGP 2X video card working with Windows 98. If anybody at cygwin can help me, my question is very simple : what should I do to make X11 work on my laptop (I guess the answer would not be so simple ...) or where can I found the information ? Thank you in advance for helping me getting out of the tunnel, or at least for giving me some light. ???? Best regards ????

I have, in fact, specifically added 24.93.67.91 as an IP address which you are allowed to use. However, the email address which is allowed through on this IP address is ssiddiqi@nc.rr.com. I think that makes sense since this is apparenly a mail relay for rr.com, not inspirepharm.com. However, it looks like this email had "ssiddiqi@inspirepharm.com" as the From: address which will be blocked. Are you telling me that I should add ssiddiqi@inspirepharm.com to the white list, too, or is this a mistake? As far as not being "in the mood" to answer several mailboxes, AFAICT, you already are and that is what caused this problem. cgf On Sun, Apr 30, 2000 at 09:56:15PM -0400, Suhaib Siddiqi wrote: >Hello Richard, > >Well, ORBS blocks my personal e-mails, therefore following bounced back. >I am really not in the mood of maintaing several mailboxes so I can answe= >r >e-mails to cygwin-xfree list.
