Can't run XGGI on Cygwin 1.0

Do you 
have /usr/local/lib in your PATH?
 
XGGI.exe uses cygwin1.dll therefore it should recognize 
the symlink.
If it 
can find ggi dlls in /usr/local/lib it should work.
 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not needed.
 
The 
last week after reading your mails, I downloaded GGI libs and 
X11R6
on a 
NT amchine which did not have XGGI installed.
 
I put 
GGI in /usr/local/lib and X11R6 in /usr/X11R6/
 
made 
copies of DLLs and edited config files as described
 
then 
at a bash shell i did
 
export 
PATH=/usr/local/lib:$PATH
 
Then
cd 
/usr/X11R6/bin
 
and
 
./XGGI 
-targets directx
 
brought the server.

  Cygwin-Xfree@Sourceware. Cygnus. Com Subject: Re: Can't run XGGI on 
  Cygwin 1.0 I tried making a symbolic link on the C drive: 
  ln -s /usr C:/usr I also tried ln -s G:/Cygwin/usr C:/usr 
  Neither got XGGI to work. Fatal server error: Unable to init 
  LibGGI! 
  1. I assume that XGGI uses Cygwin, so that forward slashes are understood. 
  2. I didn't get an answer to my LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable 
  question.  Do I need to set this? 3. I compared the files you sent me 
  with my own etc/ggi directory: % diff -br usr/local/etc/ggi/ c/My\ 
  Download\ Files/Cygnus/Xfree/suhaib/ Only in usr/local/etc/ggi/: filter 
  diff -br usr/local/etc/ggi/libggi.conf c/My Download 
  Files/Cygnus/Xfree/suhaib/libggi.conf 2c2 < .root: 
  g:/Cygwin/usr/local/lib/ggi --- > .root: /usr/local/lib/ggi 
  diff -br usr/local/etc/ggi/libgii.conf c/My Download 
  Files/Cygnus/Xfree/suhaib/libgii.conf 2c2 < .root: 
  g:/Cygwin/usr/local/lib/ggi --- > .root: /usr/local/lib/ggi 3.1 
  I also tried changing the .root line to use the Cygnus directory as you have 
  it. That also did not allow XGGI to run. 4. I'll move cygwin to C: only 
  under duress. I would have to make room on my C drive, and that would be a lot 
  of work. I hope Xfree is more flexible than requiring it be installed on a 
  specific drive.

    /usr put these config files in 
    /usr/local/etc/ggi Thanks Suhaib

        Actually. it should be     .root: 
        G:/Cygwin/usr/local/lib/ggi because the libGGI libraries are not 
        cygwin libraries, but mingw libraries and do not understand cygwin 
        mounts. Thanks.  I tried this too, and it didn't 
      work.

        /usr/local/lib/ggi: 
        John is right. Leave that the way John said.  but looking back 
        at your ls -l you are missing a lot of libs (dlls)? Where did 
        you move them? I didn't move them anywhere. As you can 
      see, above, I listed only the files that matched *ggi*. Here's a full 
      listing. The byte counts match your listing, except that mine are in 
      /usr/local/lib, while yours are in /usr/local/lib/ggi! I checked the 
      file I downloaded from  http://pws.prserv.net/thefortins/ggi.tar.gz , 
      and it does unload the libs into usr/local/lib, not 
      usr/local/lib/ggi.  Is there another environment variable that needs 
      to be set to find the library? I don't have LD_LIBRARY_PATH set.  Do 
      I need to?
