Changes
=======

1) XFree86-bin, XFree86-prog - Remove Xaw3d files accidentally included 
from when I was building Xaw3d in the xc/ tree.  Caught by: (Dr. Volker 
Zell)

2) XFree86-etc - Include /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm* and 
/etc/X11/app-defaults/UXTerm.  Had to 'touch' the source files for these

(Dr. Volker Zell)

3) XFree86-fsrv - Include the man file for xfs.  Had to run 'make 
install.man' in programs/xfs/.  (Harold L Hunt II)

xinit: The application has failed to start because cygfreetype-6.dll was not found.

[Constantine]

Hello,

After I have updated my installation today, and when I am running xinit 
now, I get a Windows window with the message that "cygfreetype-6.dll was 
not found".

After I did the following, everything worked again:

cd /usr/X11R6/bin/
cp cygfreetype-9.dll cygfreetype-6.dll

Cheers,
Constantine A. Murenin.

Constantine,

Hmm... I would appreciate it if you could help me to figure out what the 
real problem is here.  The new XFree86-bin-4.3.0-7 package no longer 
contains cygfreetype-9.dll, as this library is now distributed as part 
of the freetype2/libfreetype26 package.  freetype2 defines the version 
of the freetype2 library as '6' instead of the '9' that XFree86 was 
using as the library version.  I added a copy of cygfreetype-9.dll to 
the XFree86-lib-compat package for those that need the old library.

However, I want to know what application was failing in your xinit 
scripts.  There should not be an application that requires 
cygfreetype-9.dll in the default script.  Have you modified your script? 
  What program are you launching that requires this DLL?  Are you 
launching emacs?

I would like to get any old applications that use cygfreetype-9.dll rebuilt.


Thanks for testing,

Harold

Yes.

I've added two xterms doing an ssh -X into linux boxes I always work
on, and there is a sleep between each xterm start.

The dialog that pops up, has the title:
	XWin.exe - Unable To Locate DLL

> Are you launching emacs?

No.

I did the update today.

The version of XFree86-xserv is 4.3.0-21.

The version of XFree86-lib-compat is 4.3.0-2, with no available
upgrade candidates.

Steinar,

You need the libfreetype26 package, which is gotten by selecting the 
freetype2 package.  It should have been automatically selected, but it 
looks like it wasn't in your case.

Also, make sure that you have the fontconfig package (it auto-selects 
libfontconfig0).

When I started setup.exe right now, and clicked keep on the
XFree86-xserv package, the libfreetype26 package was selected and was
installed.

Forgot to check that, but I guess it was installed, because it works
now. 

Thanx!
