Subject: XFree86-base no longer depends on XFree86-lib-compat
Date: Sun, 22 Feb 2004 23:58:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <40394196.90106@msu.edu> (raw)

XFree86-lib-compat (provides old 4.2.0 libraries for compatibility with 
applications that have not been recompiled in almost a year) has been 
removed as a dependency of XFree86-base.

This means that XFree86-lib-compat will no longer be installed in a 
default Cygwin/X installation.

If you maintain any Cygwin/X packages that depend on the libraries in 
XFree86-lib-compat please recompile your application ASAP against the 
new libraries in the 4.3.0 releases.  The XFree86-lib-compat package 
will be removed from the distribution when the next major release of 
Cygwin/X is made (within three months, possibly as soon as a month).

In the mean time, if an application complains that it cannot find 
libX11-6.dll (or lib*-?.dll), then install the XFree86-lib-compat 
package and see if that fixes the problem.  If it does, notify the 
maintainer of the package in question that they should recompile their 
package against recent X libraries.  If it does not fix the problem, 
then your trouble lies elsewhere.

Harold
