You cannot compile a code if you do not have proper headers for it, a full compilation suite (compilers). A proper installation of Cygwin. xmkmf is getting it from your pty.c subroutines, which needs fcntl.h header file.

All of these header files *do* exist on my system, but xmkmf/makedepend are looking in directories which only existed in the previous version of cygwin. Looking at the error, makedepend looked in the following directories for these headers: /usr/X11R6.4/include/ * I have this dir, but it only contains headers for X /include/ * This does not exist in cygwin 1.1.1 /usr/local/lib/gcc-include/ * This does not exist in cygwin 1.1.1 E:/usr/H-i386-cygwin32/i386-cygwin32/include/ * This does not exist in 1.1.1, and I do not have an E: drive E:/usr/H-i386-cygwin32/lib/gcc-lib/i586-cygwin32/egcs-2.91.57/inc lude/ * This does not exist in 1.1.1, I do not have an E: drive, and I do not have egcs installed on my system. I compile with gcc 2.95.2 When I asked where does xmkmf get its info from, what I should have said is: Why is xmkmf searching these directories for headers. On Cygwin 1.1.1 all of the headers exist in the following directory: /usr/i686-pc-cygwin/include This is the way Cygwin 1.1.1 installed itself on my system. I have not modified it at all. I have successfully built many other binaries which do not use xmkmf, which leads me to believe that xmkmf is reading an old file somewhere which is telling it to look in these old B20 style directories for the header files. As a quick and dirty fix for this I mounted /usr/i686-pc-cygwin/include as /include because for what ever reason xmkmf was looking in /include for the headers contained in /usr/i686-pc-cygwin/include. When I did this xmkmf -a successfully completed. Then when I tried to make the binary, make died with undefined reference to `_ctype_' errors which referred to libXm.a. This shows that even with the proper headers there is still a problem with libXm.a. So to sum up 1. How do I get xmkmf/makedepend to look in the proper directories for the needed headers? 2. Does libXm.a need to be rebuilt for cygwin 1.1.1?

Second you are using X11R6.4 for B 20.1, and you ahve cygwin 1.1.x installed. Read the URL at cygwin/xfree and it will tell you which binaries you need. basically you need all the other stuff from ftp:/sourceware.cygnus.com/pub/cygwin/xfree/xc-4-binaries, but X11R6.4 for B 20.1.

Upon startup X-servers will open a X-Window and auto start xterm and twm (Windows Manager).

One of his latest contribution is DirectX dlls dynamic loader, xf_dx.dll. Cygwin users do not need to link DirectX applications to DirectX SDK ports for Cygwin, instead calling xf_dx.dll would load DirectX drivers installed on the Windows. I will be making setup.exe of X-servers released this weekend. This would simplyfy installation process. After rleasing executables with setup.exe, I would clean up the Cygwin/XFree ftp server directory and remove all the so-called Beta and non-functional X-servers. The XFree86 4.0 source tree needs some cleaning. After that I would update CVS tree, hopefully by weekend. The X-servers released yesterday are not Beta any more. I marked them as Versions 1.0. Someone posted a couple of weeks ago that he was willing to help put together a FAQ in HTML and PDF, formats. Can he contact me again please?

Please send me informations about the Xservers. I'm writing a document with texinfo where we can put the information. It could be easy converted in HTML,PDF,PS and so on. The keyinformations I need are (eg. Xvnc): Name of Server-bin: Xvnc.exe Location: /usr/X11R6/bin/ Required DLL's : Important Parameter/Example: :0 -fp /usr/X11R6/libX11/fonts/misc Important Files: rbg.txt (is in /usr/X11r6/X11/rbg.txt, but should be copied to /usr/lib/X11/rbg.txt) Gotchas: Fonts should not be compressed. (if they are, use gunzip and mkfontsdir). Fonts and rbg.txt should be on the same Drive like the excutable. I get the information about Xvnc via trial and error, if they are wrong please corrrect me. It seems that the integration in the cygwin-environment is not complet. We should recomend that the cygwin-root directory is identical with an Dos-Drive-Root. I'm waiting for input !!!

It gives a red/green frame around xterm windows and all the test typed into xterm had red/green borders around it. I could not get your original code working as a usuable X-servers. Nothing could be displayed. On pressing alt+tab or alt+esc keys, server crashed. Attempts to display anything, even a simple xclock and xterm crashed the x-server with "Surface lock failed" or aACCESS_VIOLATION messages. For MSVC compiled DirectX based X-server, I added the code from Microsoft DirecX 7.x SDK Helper library. For Cygwin compiled x-server Peter literally rewrote most of your code. He discovered, for cygwin, the DirectX 6.1 SDK port for Cygwin, was responsible for Display problems. He came up with an innovative idea of writing a xf_dx.dll which would dynamically load DirectX DLLs, at run-time. This allowed us to avoid using DirectX 6.1 SDK for Cygwin. I need to clean up the source tree. Afterward, I will update the Cygwin/XFree CVS, then you could checkout only xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xwin directory, instead of downloading big archives.

The XGDI and DXWIN32 are MSVC (Microsoft Visual C/C++) compiled applications and should operate without cygwin1.dll. XWIN.exe needs Cygwin1.dll from version 1.1.1. and should be installed under /usr/X11R6. If you install Cygwin in C:\Cygwin and put XFree86 4.0 ports in C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6 and add /usr/X11R6/bin to your PATH, then it should be almost inegrated into Cygwin ENV.

The speed on GDI and DXWIn32 servers from contrib could be slow, because both use remote framebuffer, which is a compromise between speed and stability, i.e to get MSVC X-servers compiled and stable enough to work. These servers do not use anything from XFree86 4.0 code therefore their performance could not be compared to XFree86 on a Linux box. XWin.exe use code from XF86 4.0 and can be compared to XF86 on Linux. However, [please note, that most of the XFree86 extensions do not compile MSVC, therefore Cygwin Development Tools were chosen. Cygwin1 UNIX emulation layer does affect performance somehow and can cause a loss of performance of slower CPU's. > > I am running Pentium II 200 Mhz with Matrox 2 MB > card.

No, You did not do anything wrong. Well, I could not compare XF between Linux and Windows at my machine. I am using Pentium III 1000 MHZ, with nVidia Geforece2 64 MB video RAM.

You should use startx.bat or startdx.bat supplied with X-server. They are in usr/bin/X11 directory. If you use one of these batch files to start X server, an xterm should open automatically. Please check the announcement message. I did mention use one of these batch file. The X-servers itself were compiled using MSVC and do not use Cygwin1.dll. Xterm and windows managers make use of pttys, therefore these applications cannot be compiled using MSVC, at the moment, unless someone contributes a driver or DLL which provides pttys for MSVC.

I intentionally tweaked the XFree86 code for Win32 so we do not need XF86Config file. I know there are advantages to have such a config file, but there may be more support nightmares for Windows versions. We are using DirectInput to control mouse and keyboard. Whatever mouse and keyboard configuration is supported by your OS and its configuration in Windows Control Panel, DirectInput would pass it on to XWin server.

Is that a French version too on your NT? If I remember correctly DirectInput is not fully supported on Windows NT 4.0 and DirevtX version 3.0 is supported, only. We tried to make it backward compatible so people on NT 4.0 can also use the X-server.

The XWin.exe was tested with Cygwin 1.1.1 and worked just fine. Which version of Cygwin do you have installed? Are there more then one cygwin1.dll in the PATH? Try renaming the Cygwin1.dll, if any in /usr/X11R6/bin to cygwin1.dll-bak, then restart X using startxwin batch file. If still same problem, then maybe your cygwin1.dll in cygwin install directory needs to be updated to a newest one?

By default X always inherit US Keyboard. To use a non-US Keyboard, you need to use xmodmap.exe from /usr/X11R6/bin and generate a Xmodmap file for your locale. Put the custom Xmodmap in /usr/lib/X11 and to startxwin.bat file add this following sysmodmap=/usr/lib/X11/Xmodmap Below is an example of Xmodmap from Internet for a Hebrew Keyboard. You can check the URL too http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Hebrew-HOWTO-4.html#ss4.3 It has some very useful info on customizing a keyboard for X. In general you could find a lot of information on how to change keyboard settings for X, if you do a Internet search of keywords "change X-xwindows keyboard" I hope this help you get your French keyboard working. Suhaib To do that we need to use xmodmap. Following is a Xmodmap which also corrects the bugs with the "Num Lock": ----- ! Hebrew key mapping for XFree86 (for US/Hebrew keyboards). !

Are you using binmode or text mode? do a mount and see what it says. The mount points would be an issue with only window manager (twm.exe) and xterm. Dxwin32.exe itself is MSVC compiled executable and does not use anything from Cygwin. You should have the following directory structure, assuming you installed it on a c:\drive c:\usr c:\usr\bin\X11 c:\usr\lib c:\usr\lib\X11 c:\usr\lib\X11\fonts and other subdirectories. C:\usr must be the top level directory, otherwise X-server would complain about /usr/lib/X11 and fonts and will fail to start. Can you try the follwoing from a DOS prompt? cd to c:\usr\bin\X11 and type startdx if DXWin32 fails to start then try: XWin -fp c:\usr\lib\X11\fonts :0 no need to set the PATH etc because startdx.bat did that for you when you first executed it. if -fp option works, then edit the startdx.bat file and add it to start XWin :0.

References: <393FD0D7.BA8AC4D8@lucent.com> Message-ID: > I followed the thread on this one, but even though I installed the full > 'X servers 1.0 tar.gz', I do not understand. What has xf_dx.dll to do with X-servers v 1.0? X-servers v 1.0 uses no xf_dx.dll. It uses DirectX installed on your Windows. You must have DirectX, at least version 3.0, installed on your Windows OS. Only xwin.exe (x-server executable) in xfree86-4.0-xwin.tar.bz2 uses xf_dx.dll and it also need the DirectX and DirectInput installed on your Windows. X-servers v 1.0 uses C:/usr/bin/X11 and c:/usr/lib directory structure (you can have any drive letter, C: is not a must). See previous message I posted to list. The startdx.bat and startx.bat files looks for "usr" directory at toplevel of the same drive. If you have install it on c;\ drive it should find c:\usr\bin and c:\usr\lib, plus everything beneath it. xwin.exe from xfree86-4.0-xwin.tar.bz2 needs the following directory structure /usr/X11R6/bin and /usr/X11R6/lib xwin.exe is a Cygwin application. The X-servers from X-servers-v-1.0 are MSVC applications, except xterm and twm and needs a cygwin1.dll in path.

Perhaps try DirectX 7.1. The XWin.exe is not linked directly to DirectX/DirectInput DLLs.

The first slowness I see is when that xterm tries to scroll - a long 'ls' for example. Remote windows also take a long time to update, locking up the whole X server while I wait. BTW: the reason I could not see /usr/bin/X11 and /usr/lib/X11 in both windows and cygwin, was because c:\bin is mounted as /usr/bin and c:\lib as /usr/lib, but the is also a real c:\usr\bin & lib.

Slow as in when it starts or slow as in displaying a remote graphical application. DXWin32 would not necessarily fail. It is a compelety different source code. Do you have access to a Win98 machine to test if it works on that? What I can think of is video driver inability to handel some of the CreateSurfce subroutines in the xf_dx.dll. > It starts up okay.

But you could always access from Explorer, after extracting tar using Cygwin. usr\bin is needed for MSVC compiled applications. The X11R6 when compiled with MSVC sets the ProjectRoot to /usr. Of course I could do #define ProjectRoot during compilation. I did not change the default ProjectRoot because others may not like my paths, so i left it to default. > > Thanks, > Nick.

The server starts up fine. Everything seems to be running. I then run the freeciv client and get the following messages: Gdk-CRITICAL **: file gdkfont.c: line 205 (gdk_font_ref): assertion `font !=NULL' failed.

The X server is still running - it has not been killed or shutdown. The freeciv client stops at this point. I have attempted to install all of the fonts in xfree86-fonts.tar, but the X server doesn't seem to see them. My impression is that the dxwin32 will not work with compressed fonts (is this true?). If I need to install more fonts, how do I go about doing that? I've been playing around with the fonts.alias and fonts.dir files and decompressing various fonts, but I'm having no luck.

I haven't had much of a chance to really exercise it. I have a linux system that I used to run X programs on it with my Win95 system as the X server and it worked, but pretty slowly. I couldn't tell if that was a result of network lag or terrible performance on the part of the X server. Regarding the font problem, dxwin32 seemed to be able to see the fonts that it needed in the original tar package. I'm pretty sure the fonts are in the right place. I just tried an experiment where I took xfree86-fonts.tar and installed that, then moved all the fonts to /usr/lib/X11/fonts, decompressed them and changed the fonts.dir files to point to uncompressed files. It seemed that there were more fonts in this package and I thought that maybe the missing fonts would be there, but it didn't work. It had the same behavior. I don't know if there's something missing associated with gdk or what's happening. I don't have a full cygwin installation so I'm not using any of the mount points associated with cygwin. Again the X server seems to work fine with a lot of X programs (especially those running on my linux system). ----- Original Message ----- From: Nick Thompson To: Carl D.

VNC itself very slow on Win32. XWin32 using fb from XFree86. It may perform faster, but underlying Cygwin emulation may effect speed. On my PIII 1000 MHz, I cannot notice the speed differences.

The problem is that if you have the latest cygwin installed and you follow the default mount points, it creates a /bin directory which is *mounted* to /usr/bin. This means that programs outside of cygwin don't understand /usr/bin. Thus when I was in a cmd shell, and tried to cd to \usr\bin, I couldn't. The only way I got the X-server to run was to copy the files in \usr\bin\X11 to \usr\X11R6\bin and run startdx.bat.

I believe if you untarred it to c:\temp, and then (in the dos shell, not under bash), recursively copied everything in c:\temp\usr into c:\usr, it should work. If you did the copy under bash it'd have problems w/ the goofy mounts. I, personally, would rather have those odd mounts out of the way, and I think doing 2 umounts is easier than untarring somewhere else and then moving the files into place.

I was assuming once we had functional servers, we might attract more contributors... I am still hoping that. It usually kills my whole weekened just to fix bugs, compile and make distributions. We started with nothing... and many members at the list were saying that it would not possible, because xfree86 code is too hardware specific, which would violate Windows hardware ownerships... My only aim had been to get a stable and good x-server for Win32, of course free. I think current commercial x-servers for Windows are over priced (rnaging from UUS$ 200 to 500 per seat) because there is no open source competition. In the Linux world no one would buy MetroLink or XiGraphic if they would sell their X-servers for 200-500 bucks a piece, because XF86 is available as a open source project.

I set the DISPLAY to point to my windows machine and ran the Freeciv client on Linux. I tried it more than once with different window managers and never saw an error from gdk about missing fonts. However, the version of Freeciv on the Linux machine is 1.8.0. The version of Freeciv on the windows machine is 1.10.0.

I even had it working using VNC. It's only when I try to run the Xfree86 X server on my windows machine and then run Freeciv 1.10.0 on my windows machine or run Freeciv 1.8.0 on the Linux box with my display set to my windows machine that I get the error which aborts the client. When I run Freeciv on the Linux box with my display set to my windows machine I can see the screen begin to display, but then it gives me the error about X server killed and stops. > I use Exceed with the Freeciv client and everything works as expected. > I didn't want to pay $200 for an X server.

Maybe it is looking for gzipped compressed fonts, like on Linux? dxwin32 cannot handle compressed fonts, at the moment.

What does aliases file says in misc fonts directory. default set to what? These are text files and you should be able to edit them and set the default font to what your freeciv uses.

Users who are slow performance, these MIGHT help. X-servers-v-1.0-exe.tar.bz2 contains only XGDI.exe and DXWIn32.exe. Extract and put them in c:\usr\bin\X11. In the "drivers" directory, I uploaded xf_dx.dll code and precompiled xf_dx.dll (Released and Debug versions). Please note... xf_dx.dll is not a real DirectX driver. It contains code specific to X-server. Anyother use for developing a DirectX applications will not work. Nmae of the archive is: xf_dx_2.0.tar.bz2. Users who wants to try xf_dx.dll should place the xf_dx.dll in /usr/X11R6/bin directory with XWin.exe. Enjoy Suhaib __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Splitted archives into small archives in xc-4-binaries directory at ftp://sourceware.cygnus.com/pub/cygwin/xfree To use only X-server. You would need xfree86-4.0.tar.bz2 and xfree86-4.0-DLLs.tar.bz2. Plus xterm and twm if you want. xfree86-4.0-devel.tar.bz2 (headers and lib*.a) xfree86-4.0-DLLs.tar.bz2 (DLLS only, neccessary to use X-server and X-clients) xfree86-4.0-fonts.tar.bz2 (compressed fonts. If you have access to Linux, you may copy /usr/X111R6/lib/X11/fonts directory from Linux, instead of downloading fonts) xfree86-4.0-Prog.tar.bz2 (X11 clients) xfree86-4.0-twm.tar.bz2 (TWM, Window Manager) xfree86-4.0-Xnest.tar.bz2 (Xnest only) xfree86-4.0-Xprt.tar.bz2 (Xprint Server only) xfree86-4.0-Xterm.tar.bz2 (Xterm only) xfree86-4.0-Xvfb.tar.bz2 (X11 frame buffer server only - very buggy right now) xfree86-4.0-Xwin.tar.bz2 (DirectX/XFree86 4.0 based X-server for Cygwin) Xwin.exe has following fixed: -------------------------------- 1) Improved texture support for DirectX 6.0 and higher. 2) some users reported XWin.exe was crashing on Windows Nt 4.0 with error "cannot open font "fixed".

To compile xwin.exe. You must compile whole XFree86 4.0 source tree. Which can take from 30 minutes to more then 5 hours, depending upon your CPU speed. Mine 1GHz PIII take 30 min.

Here is what I did: 1) opened a cygwin windows 2) telnetted to my unix account, which lets say is xxx.yyy.edu 3) then i tried typing "xterm" at the xxx.yyy.edu$ prompt. it said can't open display. 4) then I typed "who" at the unix prompt to get the name of the my machine (as seen by the unix server). it turned out to be something like abcd.pacbell.net 5) so i did "setenv DISPLAY abcd.pacbell.net:0.0" 6) then i tried "xterm" again. didn't work. being a complete novice at these things, I am wondering if I am even on the right path.

If I understand correctly. You installed on Cygwin and X11 libraries? Right? This would definitely give "Cannot open Display" You need the X-servers, which are not part of stock Cygwin distribution. Go to http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/xfree Read first URl and FAQ, then FTp to: ftp://sourceware.cygnus.com/pub/cygwin/xfree/ >From xc-4-binaries directory download almost all the archive except cygwin-xfree-x11r6.4-B20.1.tar.bz2 Unzbip2 and untar in c:\cygwin\usr directory (Iassume that you have cygwin installed in c:\cygwin directory) This will give you; c:\cygwin\usr\X11R6 Now when you cd to c:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin and type startxwin You would have a X-server runing on your Win98 box with a xterm window.

I uploaded sources adn precompiled binary of VTWM in xc-4-binaries directory at ftp://sourceware.cygnus.com/pub/cygwin/xfree/xc-4-binaries . Users who already have downloaded xwin.exe, are strongly recommended to download vtwm. Install it in /usr/X11R6/bin and edit startxwin.bat Replace in startxwin.bat start twm with start vtwm In my opinion vtwm is small, fast and is a better Windows Manager. It emulates MOTIF/CDE Window Manager. Left-mouse button click on the desktop will give details about Cygwin1.dll and its version, XFree86 (X11R6) used for compilation, plus the release details and date of compilation.

It's due to some questionable code in ~libiberty/choose-temp.c. The code has since been updated to understand that CYGWIN != WINDOWS but the gcc in the distribution was built with that code so it gets confused by some environment variables. Or, at least that is what I think is happening. cgf From s_m_siddiqi@yahoo.com Sun Jun 11 19:50:00 2000 From: s_m_siddiqi@yahoo.com (Suhaib Siddiqi) Date: Sun, 11 Jun 2000 19:50:00 -0000 Subject: Cygwin /tmp\foo behaviour Message-ID: <20000612025000.9454.qmail@web4605.mail.yahoo.com> > On Mon, Jun 12, 2000 at 10:41:30AM +0930, Trevor Forbes wrote: > >So If I understand you correctly "/tmp\cc017659.base" should not > link anyway > >as ld will always be looking for "/tmpcc017659.base" which will > never exist? > > Nope.

Instruct you window manager to run Windows programs when you click on certain buttons or select certain items in the menu. Everything else will be done by the system. However, automated creating of icons in the way how WindowMaker does may be very hard.

Windows are managed on a lower level. I do not know about litesetp. If it does not know X protocols, it will not be a good candidate because it would require adding code for X protocols. What is needed is to add multi-windowing capabilities to existing X server (XWIN). Peter Busch wrote last night that he is working on it. We also need to add Win32 clipboard code to one of the existing Windows Manager. This may allow cut and paste between X and Win32 clients. > > > Litestep is styled after X type GUIs. litestep.exe is used to replace > > explorer.exe as your desktop shell. It's neat.

Well, when you run Xwin, at present it has its own desktop under Windows.

Well, the impression I've gotten is that it is just impossible, because the stuff I want from enlightenment (window title bars, etc), is handled at a lower level than the desktop shell which we could potentiall replace. The goal listed on the web page of allowing explorer to handle the window management of X apps, while it does not give us as much control, seems like the only way to achieve a uniform interface between X & windows apps. ___________________ www.ChaosReigns.com From icblenke@2c2.com Mon Jun 12 07:30:00 2000 From: icblenke@2c2.com (Ian Blenke) Date: Mon, 12 Jun 2000 07:30:00 -0000 Subject: cygwin XFree86 as windows window manager ?

Now that we've wandered delightfully off-topic, you might want to look at E-Sense ( http://www.kjofol.org/e/ ). There are a dozen other themed shells for windows out there, from OpenSourced tools like Litestep (litestep.net) and eFX to commercial product liks Windows Blinds from StarDock software (windowsblinds.net). Visit customize.org for more Win32 eye-candy, and themes.org for OpenSource themes. Trying to get an X11 native window manager to manage your Win32 windows isn't feasible. Once Peter writes a windowable X11 server, however, it is feasible that you run the Win32 port of Enlightenment with the same theme as your native X11 version - effectively merging the look and feel. We're really comparing apples and oranges here. - Ian C.

That goal mean: 1) Doing Multi-windowing in a maaner that X-desktop would not hide Win32 desktop. 3) Adding Win32 Clipboard to one of the existing Window Manager or xclipboard, which would allow cut and paste between and X and Win32 applications. These are the desired features, which would make current X-servers comparable to commercial x-servers.

If it looks like it is going to fail (I get the keyboard error and I have a Windows cursor over the X cursor) then I can sometimes alt+tab out and about 50% of the time the X server is still running, so I can alt+tab back in and it will then work for awhile.

Are you attempting to run in 24 or 32 bpp mode? 24 and 32 bpp are buggy at the moment. There should not be a windows cursor on top of x cursor. One bug I discovered over the weekend, pressing alt+esc or crtl+esc crashed the server with SurfaceRestore errors... maybe that is what happening when you hit alt+tab often?

I am on 24 or 32 bit mode, so I guess I will live with the occassional crash (which so far only occurs on startup or when I restart the window manager). alt+tab does not seem to cause crashes. But onto the next point. For some reason, my middle button (a wheel, actually) does not perform the paste action, forcing me to press 1+3.

There are two different errors here one mentions '/tmp\c00017569.base' and one mentions '/tmpc00017569.base'. The second one has no bearing on the first.

That line has no gone the rest are the same. The XWin.exe is a X11R6 based X-server compiled using Cygwin. Therefore, if you have Cygwin in c:\cygwin installed your X-server should be installed in c:\cygwin\usr\X11R6 for Cygwin v 1.1.x \cygwin\usr is mounted at /usr. It was discussed a couple of days ago. I think that was your problem on Win95 too.

There is no libglut officially in /usr/X11R6. There is a sgi-opengl SI precompiled binaries in contrib directory. They use X protocols. When using those libs you need to be very carefull that you do not link glut32 headers from Cygwin which may be in /usr/include and lib in /usr/lib. I put pre-compiled SGI OpenGL SI in contrib directory only after SGI OSS accepted a few of the changes to glext.h and glxext.h for cygwin, which would be in SGI GLX 1.3 release. > > 1.

When un-taring sgi-opengl.tar, it refuses to overwrite files in /usr/X11R6/include (permission denied). I renamed /usr/X11R6/include/GL /usr/X11R6/include/oldGL to un-tar succesfully; is that right ? There were 3 extra files in /usr/X11R6/include/GL from xfree-4.0-devel.tar.bz2: glxint.h glxmd.hg and glxproto.h . I tried to run my glut examples on Xwin; I got an error message saying that the OpenGL GLX extension was not supported by my display. I stopped Xwin, edited startxwin.bat to add -x GLX at the end of the Xwin line and rerun startxwin.bat; xwin crashed. Was is the status of GLX support in XWin ? BTW, I think that startxwin.bat should be updated to add C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin or something like it instead of \usr\bin\X11 which doesn't exists anymore. Another bug: I switched from Xwin to the Windows desktop using Alt-Tab; when I returned to Xwin, the keyboard was no longer working properly; either it was adding 128 to the ASCII value of what I was typing or it didn't type anything.

I cannot help you with this. It is your Cygwin setup issue, or your Windows setup issue... has nothing to do with GL untaring. >I renamed /usr/X11R6/include/GL > /usr/X11R6/include/oldGL to un-tar succesfully; is that right ? > There were > 3 extra files in /usr/X11R6/include/GL from xfree-4.0-devel.tar.bz2: > glxint.h glxmd.hg and glxproto.h . > Yes, even 2 more glxext.h and glext.h.

OpenGL extension had been disabled at the moemnt. It is buggy and buggy like a HELL in XFree86 4.0, which caused a lot of grief for Linux users. Beside, we have to a lot of code modifications if we have to support DirectX rendering and GLX rendering both.

Then no you would need to compile and load. It is possible to statically compile glx.a and link against it. That si what I mean. If you are looking for DRI, then again no. DRI/DRM would not work on Windows with or without Cygwin. DRI/DRM is strictly glued to Linux kernel headers and upto a great extent to 3dfx for Linux. I do not think hardware accelerated OpenGL rendering can be done on Windows using Cygwin and OpenGL/DRI/DRM code in XFree86 4.0. Therefore I see no need to spend time on it unless someone starts a project and write a WGL exquivalent of GLX drievr... check oss/sgi.com for more details. It requires writing a new API.

I do not think so, I hvae a couple of applications, which use GLX extensions and they work just fine on any X-server. The privious versions of IBM OpenDX were linked to libGL.a. If you code is looking for a GLX extension is X-server, then you need to fix that in your code. I cannot promise xwin would display all the OpenGL applications, but I can open all the examples from SGI OpenGL SI on xwin server and also I can run IBM OpenDX on xwin. OpenDX is MOTIF/OpenGL Data Visualization Application, which does hardware and software OpenGL rendering. I had been contributing to www.opendx.org Cygwin ported OpenDX since long time and users had no problems runing it on any X-servers. Suhaib > > Andr????

You can checkout latest SGI OpenGL SI source cdoe from their CVS http://oss.sgi.com/project/ogl-sample . It is libGLcore.a and libglx.a(so) when linked to X-server provide GLX extension and if your application is linked to libGL.a, and libGLU.a, plus it included /usr/X11R6/include/GL/glxext.h or glext.h which contain calls to GLX extension, then your application would need an X-server with GLX extension.

There seems to be some problems. 1) GLX extension refuses to load. 2) After hacking I got GLX extensiuon loaded, there seems to be conflicts between DirectX and OpenGL/GLX and server crashed on displaying OGL samples. Mean while you could try linking your application to old Mesa and Glut libraries from: http://www.student.uni-koeln.de/cygwin/Distribution/Library/ I may not get enough time for almost 2 weeks to fix the GLX extension problem in xwin server.

Below is the abalysis of Peter Busch. Xwin lock up seems to be due to crapy design of Win95/98. We opted to proceed with NT/Win2K/Millenium worka nd cpmplete multiwindowing. Since Win Millenium is around the corner, Win95/98 crapy GUI/GDI would be outdated by M$ soon. XWIn works perfect on Win Mellinum Beta3, tested by me and Peter. We are short of developers and contributors therefore cannot really spend too much time re-writing the whole 170 MB code again for Win98/95. We may do so sometime in the future, but due to limited developersa dn short on time, we opted to put Win95/98 issue at the bottom of our list.... unless someone else is willing to work on it. Sorry... Suhaib ---------------------------- Hi Suhaib, I looked after the Win95/98 XWin problems last week. The problem is due to the Win95/98 graphics architecture. In Win95/98 all display output is single-threaded due to the 16-bit GDI/USER modules which consist essentially of (of course non-reentrant) Win 3.1 code, protected by the (in-)famous systemwide Win16 mutex. In Win95/98 the primary displayn surface can either not be locked at all or the locking process implicitely owns the Win16 mutex preventing anything to be drawn onto the display via GDI / Console until it unlocks the display This leads to a situation where the entire system is deadlocked as soon as XWin calls any function which invokes GDI , (i.e. on the first ErrorF() MessageBox() or printf() ). The problem does not appear on Millenium beta 3 where the access to single surfaces, not the entire display is single-threaded. There are 2 possibilities 1) the XWin code could be modified to unlock the DirectX surface temporarily on every diagnostic / error output. This is possibly the easiest way but would lead to a scenario where either XWin or all other Win95/98 applications would block since XWin relies on the locked surface. Any XWin crash (with locked surface) would force the user to reboot the machine. 2) we could enable XWin to be used in parallel with the Win95/98 desktop without blocking by mapping the display surface without using the Win95/98 DirectX libraries. This could be done by either writing a display wrapper driver a la xfddx for Win95/98 or a VxD which performs the mapping. Personally I would prefer this choice. Neither solution can be implemented overnight. I now have to decide whether to finish the NT/Win2K/Millenium xf_dx library independently or to address the Win95/98 problems first. What's your opinion ? Regards Peter __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send instant messages with Yahoo!

That is because you are attempting to run an OpenGL client? If you run xdpyinfo, you would the information on what is supported on X. Unfortunately, we do not have GLX extension for DXWin32. The support for OpenGL/GLX for XWin server is in progress. Our servers are DirectX based therefore we need to sort out some display problems with GLX extensions on DirectX based X-server (XWin). The GLX extension would not be supported on DXWin32.

Yep! That happen accidently. I was using Makedepend which produce Makefile, now switched to gccMakeDepend, which creates makefile. Regardless, presense of Makefile or makefile, should be of no consequences. You have to use "make World" command to build the tree. make World would generate the "makefiles" for your system. The presense of makefile or Makefile is of no importance, because you are not going to use my Makefiles, unless you are aiming for failed build ;-) BTW: I will be off traveling most of the time this week and next week. After that I am going to upload a complete new XFree86 sources tree to CVS. The new sources will have OpenGL/GLX extensions enabled and most of the X-servers build as loadable DLLs, instead of statically linked extensions. >CVS on Interix when run on a remote file system (but not locally) > detects > one of them as a duplicate and chokes. (Interix is case > sensitive locally, > but the > remote protocol is not.) Why Interix would choke? It should not, unless Interix has design flaws or is unable to deal with "makedepend". You should not use "make" command instead you should use "make World" This will rename all the Makefiles and makefiles to makefile(s).bak and create Makefiles for your system dependencies. Sooooo...... is Microsoft porting Cygwin/XFree to Interix? Patches will be gratefully aceepted. I had bunch of requests from Win32 users for porting Cygwin/XFree to Interix, which I ignored due to lack of contributors, and this project is aimed for Cygwin as the base platform, beside Interix is not an open source project therefore it does not interest me. > > This is probably asking for trouble for other people as well, but the > symptoms > are probably different. Nope. No one should have troubles... as I mentioned above and also in previous mails make world command gets rid of makefiles and generate new ones with dependencies for your system Suhaib > > Donn Terry > Speaking solely for myself.

Maybe you already know this, Suhaib, but once you've done a remove, you have to do a "cvs commit" to cause the operation to actually occur.

I read the FAQ and got the last version of CYGWIN1.DLL in the snapshots (cygwin1-20000622.dll.bz2) and tryed again to exec XGGI. Here is a copy of what I have done : ???? export GGI_DEBUG=0 export GGI_DEFMODE=800x600[GT_32BIT] export GGI_CONFDIR=/usr/local/etc/ggi export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/lib XGGI -targets directx& ???? Then I got for a short time the GGI-ON-DX window but it crashed because it did not find the fonts. As????I have installed X11 in /usr/X11R6.4 I made a link X11R6????-> X11R6.4 in /usr. I could not find the fonts in X11R6.4 ( what ???) but I found them in X11R6.3 !!! Then I made a link in /usr/X11R6.4/lib/X11 : ???? fonts -> /usr/X11R6.3/lib/X11/fonts. ???? Rather complex, I agree, but it works : finally, I got the GGI-ON-DX windows, with still an error : ????

Thank you very much for your help. I think that I could make a great step towards the end of the tunnel but I still have some problems with XGGI and X11: ???? I have downloaded the libggi suite as you suggested in your Reply on April 30 and I have installed it as you said in????the mailing list on January 17 "First Alpha X-server for Win32 is out". I put /usr/local/lib in my PATH and tryed to exec XGGI -targets directx. XGGI failed with the error message "missing export CYGWIN1.DLL:_ctype_". I read the FAQ and got the last version of CYGWIN1.DLL in the snapshots (cygwin1-20000622.dll.bz2) and tryed again to exec XGGI. Here is a copy of what I have done : ???? export GGI_DEBUG=0 export GGI_DEFMODE=800x600[GT_32BIT] export GGI_CONFDIR=/usr/local/etc/ggi export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/lib XGGI -targets directx& ???? Then I got for a short time the GGI-ON-DX window but it crashed because it did not find the fonts. As????I have installed X11 in /usr/X11R6.4 I made a link X11R6????-> X11R6.4 in /usr. I could not find the fonts in X11R6.4 ( what ???) but I found them in X11R6.3 !!! Then I made a link in /usr/X11R6.4/lib/X11 : ???? fonts -> /usr/X11R6.3/lib/X11/fonts. ???? Rather complex, I agree, but it works : finally, I got the GGI-ON-DX windows, with still an error : ???? PEXExtensionInit : Could not open default font file Roman_Merror opening security policy file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy ???? I could not find anywhere the missing file SecurityPolicy, but no matter, the GGI-On-DX window did not crash !!!! Then I tried to exec xclock, but I got the error :????can't open display. In fact the DISPLAY variable is empty. Can you tell me how and where DISPLAY should be defined and where I can find the missing xserver directory with the SecurityPolicy file ? ???? Thank you in advance for your help on the mailing list. ???? Best regards ????

Message-ID: <395B695A.ADA467AE@chollian.net> Hi all, I would like to compile Xfree on the win98. But I have some Problems to compile it. Please help me for the following troubles. I downloaded latest cygwin from the ftp://sourceware.cygnus.com/pub/cygwin/ and I installed cygwin 1.1.0 without problem on the local drive C: with win98. Next I downloaded XC40-1 to XC40-4.tar.bz2 from the ftp://sourceware.cygnus.com/pub/cygwin/xfree/xc-4 and I extracted it under /Xsrc. What I don't know is how can I config the files /Xsrc/xc/config/cf/cygwin.cf, cygwin.rules and cygwin.tmpl and so on. I changed cygwin.cf as follows: #define PreProcessCmd CcCmd -E XCOMM #define StdIncDir `CcCmd --print-libgcc-file-name | sed ':libgcc.a:/cgywin/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.2/include:'|sed 's,\\\\,/,g'` XCOMM #define PostIncDir `CcCmd --print-libgcc-file-name | sed ':libgcc.a:/include:'|sed 's,\\\\,/,g'` #define StdIncDir `CcCmd --print-libgcc-file-name | sed 's,\\\\,/,g' | sed 's,libgcc.a,/cgywin/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.2/include,'` I changed also Imakefile for /programs/xload -X11 as -lX11. I tried to compile Xfree with make World and I had error message : ../../config/makedepend/makedepend -- -I../../include -I../../exports/include/X11 -I../.. -I../../exports/include -D__i386__ -DWIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN -DX_LOCALE -D_MT -D_X86_ -D__STDC__ -DNO_TCP_H -D__CYGWIN__ -D_XOPEN_SOURCE -D_REENTRANT -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=199309L -D_BSD_SOURCE -D_SVID_SOURCE -D_GNU_SOURCE -DX_SOURCE -DFUNCPROTO=15 -DNARROWPROTO -DCPP_PROGRAM="\"cpp\"" -- imake.c ../../config/makedepend/makedepend: error: cannot rename Makefile to Makefile.bak make[3]: *** [depend] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/Xsrc/xc/config/imake' depending in config/makedepend... make[3]: Entering directory `/Xsrc/xc/config/makedepend' ../../config/makedepend/makedepend -- -I../../config/imake -I../../include -I../../exports/include/X11 -I../.. -I../../exports/include -D__i386__ -DWIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN -DX_LOCALE -D_MT -D_X86_ -D__STDC__ -DNO_TCP_H -D__CYGWIN__ -D_XOPEN_SOURCE -D_REENTRANT -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=199309L -D_BSD_SOURCE -D_SVID_SOURCE -D_GNU_SOURCE -DX_SOURCE -DFUNCPROTO=15 -DNARROWPROTO -- include.c main.c parse.c pr.c cppsetup.c ifparser.c ../../config/makedepend/makedepend: error: cannot rename Makefile to Makefile.bak make[3]: *** [depend] Error 1 How can I solve this prblem??

Makedepend should be able to rename Makefiles and executables, if it cannot it is not a bug in makedepend rather your Cygwin setup, and/or Windows setup issue. You can try grabing the new code from CVS and see if it helps you. The new code uses gccmakedepend, instead of Makedepend. Or, you can try adding #define UseGccMakeDepend YES to cygwin.cf Suhaib PS: Answer to Cygwin-Xfree mailing list. I do not WANT e-mails coming directly to me. I have mentioned WAY TOO MANY TIMES. Spearheading an Open Source project does not mean contributors should also take the responsibilities of getting their mail boxes full with direct mail.

( almost ) Message-ID: <009501bfe2db$630ee920$00e2fea9@oemcomputer> Hello Suhaib and others, ???? Installing and using Cygwin was very easy and it works very well, but installing Xfree with XGGI is really a nightmare for a simple user who knows nothing about system administration. I will never say bad things about system administrators! ???? Here are the last (bad) news of my installation : ???? 1. xterm warnings "locale not supported" and "failed to open input method" : I tried to get the last xterm client from Xc-4-binaries as you told me, but it gives the same thing. I read in the archives that you said it was not important, so maybe I can forget it. ???? 2. French keyboard mapping : I got a french Xmodmap.fr file on the Web and tried xmodmap or to run XGGI with the -xkbdb option. No way! Xterms are always typing US keyboards! Help! What is missing to make xmodmap work? ???? 3. Twm does not catch button events : I tried the last twm.exe from the Xc-4-binaries and also mwm, but it's the same problem although "xmodmap -pp" says that there are 5 buttons! Could it be because some env variables are missing (look at my very simple XGGI script in my June 26 mail) or because the window manager????cannot find????the *wmrc files ? System *wmrc files exist for twm and mwm, but maybe at the wrong place?????I tried also to run XGGI with the "-buttons n" option but it fails for any value of n between 1 and 3! Help again! ???? 4. Finally I tried to exec a Unix code :????XopenDisplay works with DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 but DISPLAY=:0.0 is not authorized, because I am not root ? Then the code fails on DefaultColormap(display,screen) call with the screen value returned by DefaultScreen(display). This screen value seems to be out of range (very great value). What is wrong? ???? I had also a problem with the choice of the include files : gcc seems to look for the X11 include files in /usr/include/X11. Some X11 files are in /usr/include/X11 (from cygwin installation) but they are not identical to the same named files in /usr/X11R6/include/X11, so which ones should I use? ???? As you can see, I am completely lost among the include, resource or config files and the init scripts. That's really not my domain and I don't have the basic knowledge of system administration. I think I have all the latest binaries needed for simple tests but I will never succeed if I can't find a full installation script with XGGI or another Xserver. I guess that you could be tired to receive always the same questions, and I don't want to take too much of your time. Maybe I will do again some other tests if you have some suggestions, but I think I will stop soon. Do you intend to deliver in the future full install scripts for Xfree with some Xservers, as you did with the setup.exe for Cygwin ? If so, I think that it would be better for me to wait. ???? Thank you again for having given me a little of your time. ???? Best regards, ???? Richard Grenon 40 Avenue de la Division Leclerc 92320 Ch????tillon - France e-mail : Richard.GRENON@wanadoo.fr
