geomview under cygwin

geomview under cygwin

[B. Marchand]

I noticed several people posted some geomview related questions back in 
2002. So, maybe someone will know the answer to this question.

I followed the instructions on 
http://www.rzuser.uni-heidelberg.de/~mfoehl/Geomview_under_Windows.html 
about compiling geomview under cygwin. I had to acquire the forms 
library for Win32 from a different source 
(http://ftp.fh-wolfenbuettel.de/links/unix/desktop/xforms/NT/GnuWIN32/), 
since they seem to be temporarily unavailable from the xforms website 
(https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/xforms). At any rate, everything 
seems to configure and compile fine. However, when I try to just execute 
geomview nothing happens - nothing shows on the screen and there are no 
geomview related processes running. No error messages are sent to the 
screen so I don't know what is going on.

Any ideas as to what the problem may be?

Thanks.

Your X server is actually running?

yes, I run startx first and tried both mwm and twm window managers.
