Package x3270 installation error: startx crashes

Package x3270 installation error: startx crashes

[SERGEY BULDYREV]

Dear All,


In November 2016 I tried several times to install Cygwin 2.6.0 from 

the official cite setup-x86_64.exe form various mirrors. Installation always ended with an error:Package: _/x3270
               x3270.sh exit code 1

I am using windows 10 on a Dell Laptop XPS 15.
When I tried startx from mintty, it always crashes.
When i tried xinit it works, but the terminals and other windows such as for xmgrace,
are fixed in size and cannot be moved.

What should I do?

This is what I am getting:

can you try to run the script
etc/postinstall/x3270.sh

If no failure is reported you can rename it as
etc/postinstall/x3270.sh.done
so that will not be rerun next time you run the setup.

Have you tried startxwin ?

When reporting problem please follows

and attach the cygcheck.out.

There is a known issue with this postinstall.  It invokes mkfontdir which 
throws an error because of the options it uses.  This can be ignored. 
I'll fix it eventually.

Just rename it.

You will need to manually rebuild the font cache with mkfontdir.
