(Harold L Hunt II) 2) XFree86-lib-compat - Add cygfreetype-9.dll. There should not be a need for the old cygfontconfig-1.dll... in any case, it conflicts with the new fontconfig dll, so it isn't included. freetype was okay because the new dll has a different name (cygfreetype-6.dll). (Harold L Hunt II) 3) XFree86-etc - The package was missed when Xt went shared. I didn't realize that there were a few executables in there. This package dropped in size by a few hundred KiBs as a result. (Harold L Hunt II) 4) General - Cygwin now has strl{cat,cpy}(), so #define HasStrlcat as YES in xc/config/cf/cygwin.cf and rebuild all apps and libraries. (Matthieu Herrb) -- Harold Hunt 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.
