RE: help with link error: undefined reference to XGetHostname

[Suhaib Siddiqi <ssiddiqi at inspirepharm dot com>]

You can get libX11-fix.tar.bz2 file from
ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/cygwin/xfree/xc-4-binaries.  This file was
uploaded at 8:30 PM EST and will not avilable at Mirrors sites, yet.  If
sources.redhat.com is busy you need to keep trying until you get in or wait
till it is available at mirrors sites.

It fixes _XGetHostname issues.  This symbol is now exported and is in
libX11.dll.  This also fixes several other export symbols which are rarely
needed, but were missing from libX11.a, those symbols are now exported and
are in libX11.dll.

I will submit the patch to Xfree86.org, which might take upto a couple of
weeks to show up in CVS repository at XFree86

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.
