Re: WindowMaker does not find libX11.dll

[Harold L Hunt II <huntharo@msu.edu>]

I just did a cygcheck on wmaker.exe:

=======================================
$ cygcheck ./wmaker.exe
.\wmaker.exe
   C:\cygwin\bin\cygjpeg-62.dll
     C:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll
       C:\WINDOWS\System32\ADVAPI32.DLL
         C:\WINDOWS\System32\ntdll.dll
         C:\WINDOWS\System32\KERNEL32.dll
         C:\WINDOWS\System32\RPCRT4.dll
   C:\cygwin\bin\cygungif-4.dll
     C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\libX11.dll
   C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\cygX11-6.dll
     C:\cygwin\bin\cygcygipc-2.dll
   C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\cygXext-6.dll
   C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\cygXpm-4.dll
   C:\cygwin\bin\cygpng12.dll
     C:\cygwin\bin\cygz.dll
   C:\cygwin\bin\cygtiff4.dll
=======================================

These lines are of interest:

   C:\cygwin\bin\cygungif-4.dll
     C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\libX11.dll

This means that the linungif package was built against the old 4.2.0 X 
libraries (it hasn't been rebuilt since 2002) and needs to be rebuilt 
soon since those libraries are going to be pulled with the next release.

I will see what I can do about this.
