I am trying to link ADA code (compiled with GNAT 3.11b2) to X11 under 
Windows NT. The GNAT compiler is MINGW based and I can only find CYGWIN 
based X11 binaries.

Can anyone advise me:
1)	Where I can get a precompiled MINGW version of X11R6.3 or X11R6.4
2)	How to compile X11R6.4 with the -mno-cygwin flag. (I can compile X11R6.4 
under CYGWIN but not with the -mno-cygwin flag).

Thanks.

John

There is no such thing. Mingw32 uses Microsoft runtime, which lacks the
facilities needed to build stock X11. There are commercial ports however 
that may work for you (Hummingbird for example).

Can't, sorry.

However, Suhaib posted a reference to a x11.lib just a few days ago (check
the mailing list archive http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/ ). You may 
want to check that out.

Mumit

Here are the links to xforms and X11R6.3 libraries for MSVC and  MingW32
(probably will work with MinW32).

ftp://bragg.phys.uwm.edu/pub/xforms/NT/W32/Xlib/


The Windows Native and Cygwin-B20 ports of X-forms are in:

ftp://bragg.phys.uwm.edu/pub/xforms/NT/


If you decide to X11R6.3 libraries, I will suggest get the Xform itself
too.  Xform contains many useful DLLs and libs which can be used with
X11R6.x libraries.

It is possible to compile X11R6.x libraries on your NT, but not
with -mno-cygwin option in Cygwin and MingW32.  PGI compilers (pgCC)
worked in my hands
with  a combination of -msvcrt and -Munix options.  If you want to build
a X11R6.x library yourself, you will need PGI Workstation, MingW32 will
not work.

I hope this will help.

Regards

Suhaib
