Installation of X11 on Windows 8

Installation of X11 on Windows 8

[Sonya Blade]

Dear All,

I'm supposed to obtain the X11 library in the cygwin setup and all the 
related binaries under the X11 folder during the configuration from
cygwin download terminal. BUt I never get X11.dll or X11.a files after 
download and installation. 

Actually this X11 dependecy arises when I try to compile the Petsc library 
I don't know where Petsc uses X11 libraries but requires it during 
compilation. If it'S not provided then the following errors are are reported

Your help will be appreciated,

undefined reference to `XSetForeground'
/cygdrive/d/TEST_FOLDER_asus/petsc-3.4.2/src/sys/classes/draw/impls/x/xops.c:94: undefined reference to `XDrawPoint'

default installation includes only base packages, surely
not development.

Try adding libX11-devel package

$ cygcheck -l libX11-devel |grep dll
/usr/lib/libX11.dll.a
