The XFree86-prog package is installed via Cygwin's setup.exe program. You possibly have another problem that may be secondary: If MicroWindows is trying to link against libX11.a explicitly, rather than the usual -lX11, then you will need to fix the build files for MicroWindows to tell it to just link against -lX11. Our linker will figure out that -lX11 really means to link against libX11.dll.a. But, you shouldn't look into this possible problem until you have XFree86-prog installed and have tried building again.
