This just a short update on cygwin-xfree porting project.
I have created a new Arch in Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-supported/cygwin named
cygwinArchitect. I researched the history of XFree86 port to OS/2
during last couple weeks. The idea of creating a Cygwin specific
architect (cygwinArchitect) came from XFree86/OS2. This allowed me
to fix a lot of problems.
The Imake.cf in xc/config/cf now contains
#ifdef __CYGWIN__
#define cygwinArchitect
#define i386Architect
#endif
This picks the right code from hw/xfree86/os-supported/cygwin. Previously
I was using #define linuxArchitect, which picking up a lot of Linux
Kernel related header files and causing problems.
Now I am down to only approx. 10 C sources files which needs to fixed, and a
few *.s
files which are giving problems when using gcc -E.
I am spending most of my spare time on cygwin-xfree. I hope to get a
preliminary
functional X-server in near future. I have not updated the cygwin-xfree
source tree since last month, because I was on daily basis doing
changes to code. I will update the cygwin-xfree source tree this week, and
also
provide a a diff file against Xfree86 3.3.3.1.
