XWindows graphics Subroutines

XWindows graphics Subroutines

[Ron Hadley]

Gentlemen:

      I am trying to port XWindows graphics code from my Linux workstation
to my PC using cygwinX. I cannot find the XWindows graphics subroutines
(routines that start with X) anywhere in the cygwin library. The file I
thought should contain them, cygwin/lib/libX11.a contains similar routines
with different names, for which I can find no documentation. Can you direct
me to either the XWindows library or the documentation for the routines in
libX11.a? Thank you

I'm not sure which Xlib function you are looking for, but there should be no
difference in the Xlib API between linux and cygwin/x.

The libX11-devel package which contains that library also contains man pages
for the functions it provides [1]

Jon:

 Thank you for clearing this up. I was confusing file names with routine
names. Indeed the routines are all there. But I still can't manage to link
them. I have a PGI compiler on my laptop, and it seems that GNU libtool was
used in some way to produce the file X11.la that is necessary to properly
link the files. Any ideas on how to link these libraries?
