Question: Using XOpenDisplay and more

[Fred Reimer]

These are X11 library routines.  You can only use them if you have the X11
libraries available.  There have been several ports of these (X11R6.3 and
X11R6.4).  I don't have the locations, but know that you can find them by
looking at the related sites list at www.cygnus.com.

If you get the client libraries, you will still need an X server to display
the screens to.  You could use another Unix box you have access to, or you
can download the free MIX X Server for Windows at www.microimages.com.

Forgot the COMPLETELY request.  Once you have the libraries (they will be
placed in /usr/X11R6.3/lib or /usr/X11R6.4/lib depending on what version you
get), you need to include this path in the gcc link line.
An example might be:

gcc bingo.c -o bingo.exe -L/usr/X11R6.3/lib -lX11

Good luck!
