Re: Starting X server on cygwin

Well, I've looked at that address and I've done all they asked but it still doesn't work. I've done as followS:


Danielle@DANI ~
$ sh /usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.sh

Danielle@DANI ~
$ cp /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc ~/.xinitrc

Danielle@DANI ~
$ cd /usr/X11R6/bin && startx
bash: startx: command not found

Danielle@DANI /usr/X11R6/bin
$ cd /usr/X11R6/bin/startx
bash: cd: /usr/X11R6/bin/startx: Not a directory

Danielle@DANI /usr/X11R6/bin
$ PATH=%PATH:/usr/X11R6/bin

Danielle@DANI /usr/X11R6/bin
$ startx
[: and: unknown operand
[: and: unknown operand
export: Settings/Danielle/.Xauthority: bad variable name

but I receive a message telling that the cygwin1.dll can't be found, but i have it in c:\cygwin\bin.

I've been trying to install a simulator player stage but it looks for X server and can't find it. I just can't make it work.

Thanks,
Dani.


It seems from the approach taken that you have not taken the time to
RTFM.  Take a look at:

Starting X server on cygwin

[Danielle]

I've installed cygwin with all XFree86 options marked but I can't make it work.

When I type X or startx command lines appears like that:

Danielle@DANI /cygdrive/c/cygwin/usr/X11R6/bin
$ X
bash: X: command not found

Danielle@DANI /cygdrive/c/cygwin/usr/X11R6/bin
$ startx
bash: startx: command not found

Danielle@DANI /cygdrive/c/cygwin/usr/X11R6/bin
$ ./startx
[: and: unknown operand
[: and: unknown operand
export: Settings/Danielle/.Xauthority: bad variable name
xinit: not found

What should I do?

Thanks,
Dani.
