Subject: Updated: XFree86-bin-4.3.0-5 and XFree86-prog-4.3.0-8
Date: Fri, 17 Oct 2003 17:37:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3F9028B6.5080608@msu.edu> (raw)
The following packages have been updated in the Cygwin distribution:
*** XFree86-bin-4.3.0-5
*** XFree86-prog-4.3.0-8
Changes
=======
1) xc/lib/Xt/Initialize.c,IntrinsicP.h xc/config/cf/cygwin.rules - Add a
very nice hack to allow Xt to be built as a shared library. The fix
exports _XtInherit as a data symbol and adds a bit of assembly code to
the data section that redirects calls to the XtInherit function in the
Xt DLL. (Ralf Habacker)
2) General - Recompile all libraries and executables with Xt, Xaw, Xaw6,
and Xmu built as shared libraries. This cuts the size of the
XFree86-bin package from around 10 MiB to 4 MiB. (Harold L Hunt II)

To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on
the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your
system. Once you've downloaded setup.exe, run it and select "XFree86"
and then click on the appropriate field until the above announced
version number appears if it is not displayed already.
Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't
allowed due to bandwidth limitations. This means that you will need
to find a mirror which has this update.
In the US, ftp://archive.progeny.com/cygwin/
is a reliable high bandwidth connection.
In Japan, ftp://ftp.u-aizu.ac.jp/pub/gnu/gnu-win32/ is usually
up-to-date.
In DK, http://mirrors.sunsite.dk/cygwin/ is usually up-to-date.
If one of the above doesn't have the latest version of this package
you can either wait for the site to be updated or find another
mirror.
Please send questions or comments to the Cygwin/XFree86 mailing list at:
cygwin-xfree@sources.redhat.com . If you want to subscribe go to:
http://cygwin.com/lists.html I would appreciate if you would use
this mailing list rather than emailing me directly. This includes
ideas and comments about the setup utility or Cygwin/XFree86 in general.
If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin/XFree86 mailing
list is the appropriate place.
