I downloaded pdf giving steps for the installation of this software.
After having installed the Cygwin software. I downloaded the binaries
and stored them in /tmp directory and did the installations steps as
mentioned in the manual. I am getting even the cygwin/X86free screen.
But after this i am not able to get the iconmanager and other gui's.
While starting the startxwin.bat get some error like
The system could not find the path specified.
_XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11 -unix should be set to root.
fatal error
no screen found.
The .X11-unix directory is set to the administrator group.
Can u please give me pointer how to move from here.
Can we get the native window GUI from thsi software.
Pointer for the steps to be followed ---- manual on the site(cygwin) too
will be handy.

Start compiling and fix the errors gcc reports.
Repeat the above until the program compiled.

follow the installation instructions for cygwin/xfree. Get the devel
archives
(if not already installed).
Continue with the steps from point 1.
