RE: help with link error: undefined reference to XGetHostname

[Suhaib Siddiqi <ssiddiqi at inspirepharm dot com>]

Thanks.
Expect a replacement libX11.dll and the corresponding libX11.a import
library, in "xc-4-binaries" at ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/cygwin/xfree
later tonite.
I figured out what is going on.  I should have renamed the
xfree86-4.0-xxx.tar.bz2 to
xfree-4.0.2-xxx.tar.bz2.  The updated binaries which were uploaded on Dec
13th, 2000
are actually XFree86 4.0.2.  The next release will be XFree86 4.0.3 which
will be based upon X11R6.5.1.
