What/ where is cygXt-6.dll ? A newly made app can't find it!

What/ where is cygXt-6.dll ? A newly made app can't find it!

[Keith Gunderson]

Hello.  I was taking a crack at building Xephem 3.5.2 on my newly 
updated Win2000 / cygwin box (with Lesstif.)

The program will make just fine, but when I run it the standard "path 
error" dialog appears complaining that it can't find cygXt-6.dll  From 
what I've seen, this is the Xt widget set... or no? 

Any pointers on where this stuff is or how I should make the app to 
statically link in Xt would be appriciated.  I remember seeing the 
libXt.a library on the system, BTW.

Doing a cygcheck on the app causes the following:


$ cygcheck.exe xephem
Found: D:\cygwin\bin\xephem.exe
D:/cygwin/bin/xephem.exe

Thanks for the help.

cygXt-6.dll is installed with the XFree86-bin package. Maybe it got somehow
deleted. Reinstall the XFree86-bin package.

Keith,

In the future, whenever something like this is missing, try finding it on
<http://cygwin.com/packages/>, and then running "cygcheck -cv" on the
returned package (in this case, "cygcheck -cv XFree86-bin").  This will
report if a package is missing some files (and which files are missing).
Alternatively, you can be proactive and run "cygcheck -c" on your whole
system periodically, and then re-run "cygcheck -cv" on the packages
reported as "Incomplete" [*].

[*] One exception to this is the older versions of the "apache" package,
which are always reported as "Incomplete" due to a non-standard
postinstall procedure.  I believe this is rectified in the newer versions,
though.
