Hi Harold,

thanks for finding it out.

However, I also noticed two other problems.

1) Emacs and xemacs (as started on Solaris and Linux) have crashing problems
with the new XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-50. With XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-44 this problem
did not exist. The crashing can easily be reproduced just by clicking on the
emacs windows repeatedly for some seconds, maybe moving the mouse a bit
at the same time.

2) The Alt Gr button on my european keyboard does not seem to work at all
with emacs/xemacs. However, it works with xterm. Once again, this problem
didn't occur with XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-44.

Maybe these two problems are also a result of some outdated library?

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.

Lets keep one issue in one email thread.  Start another if you want 
people to look into those issues.

Okay, I fixed the lubungif package, but I am waiting for the package 
maintainer to accept my changes.

In the meantime, you can point Cygwin's setup.exe to the following 
address and install libungif-4.1.0-3:

Hi Harold,

I couldn't use setup.exe for downloading your libungif-4.1.0-3, but took it manually instead. It seems to fix this problem.

Thanks,
Tuli

Sorry about that Harold.

I did not fully read your original response.

I didn't mention that because I do not want him to do that.  Those 
libraries may be removed as early as next week.

Actually you can get the libX11.dll if you install the Cygwin/X shared
libraries from the XFree86-lib-compat/XFree86-lib-compat4.3.0-2
pat-4.3.0-2 package.  These libraries, like Harold pointed out are based
ont he 4.2.0 (older) shared libraries.

Actually you can get the libX11.dll if you install the
Cygwin/X shared libraries from the
XFree86-lib-compat/XFree86-lib-compat-4.3.0-2 package.
 These libraries, like Harold pointed out are based on
the 4.2.0 (older) shared libraries.

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\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.

WindowMaker does not find libX11.dll

[tulitanssi]

Hi all,

I had problems with a fresh setup (today with all the newest packages with
XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-50 and all). WindowMaker will not start, since it cannot
find libX11.dll. And really, this file does not exist after setup.exe.

>From some older discussion I found that copying cygX11-6.dll
to libX11.dll fixes the problem, and it did. Does this mean that
WindowMaker package is just out of date?
