This approach is not working well at all for the current release. Last time around I just tossed things into a folder to temporarily hide them, and by process of elimination winnowed it down to that small size. This time there are many, many, MANY more dll's that are required for the server to start, at least via this method: C:\cygwinX\bin\run.exe --quote /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c "cd; exec /usr/bin/startxwin" For instance, cyggtk-x11-2.0.0.dll. Take it out and the X11 server does not start. That dll, according to "ldd" has everything but the kitchen sink linked into it. It isn't linked directly into the server though, it is needed for "xwin-xdg-menu.exe", an accessory program, which if removed from /usr/bin, also results in the server not starting. Last time around the start bat script was just: @echo off set CYGXTOP=%~dp0 C: chdir "%CYGXTOP%\var\log\xwin" move XWin.0.log.1 XWin.0.log.2 move XWin.0.log XWin.0.log.1 chdir "%CYGXTOP%\bin" start Xwin :0 -multiwindow Is there some reason that a similar cut down bat file would not work with the current cygwin X11 server? (With "-listen tcp" plus a windows firewall rule to only let it talk to localhost.)
