Hello there,
I tried to install Cygwin/XFree under Cygwin 1.1.8 on Windows NT SP6. Cygwin itsself runs wonderfull.
For the download I used the mirror:
ftp://ftp.franken.de/pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/mirrors/cygnus/xfree/xc-4-binaries/
to download the necessary files according to the Installation-Documentation written at:
http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/xfree/docs/howto/x195.htm
But on this mirror (and also on some other mirrors) the file "xfree86-4.0-rgb.tar.bz2" was missing.
The documentation says:
Download the following files from xfree/xc-4-binaries, saving them to the root of your Cygwin installation directory (e.g. c:\cygwin), the
uncompressed file size appears after each file; you will need approximately 60MB of disk space to download and uncompress all of these files
xfree86-4.0-DLLs.tar.bz2 (2.3MB; required, various libraries)
xfree86-4.0-fonts.tar.bz2 (12.5MB; required, X fonts)
xfree86-4.0-rgb.tar.bz2 (17kB; required, defines screen colors)
xfree86-4.0-Xterm.tar.bz2 (0.9MB; required, terminal emulator)
xfree86-4.0-Xwin.tar.bz2 (5.6MB; required, DirectX X/Server)
xfree86-4.0-Prog.tar.bz2 (39MB; optional, additional X utilities, e.g. xhost)
I tried XFree without the tar-file, but got a lot of error-messages regarding colours, and at the end the application started with very bad colours.
(By the way,after the xterm starts, it does not accept any input, and dissapears short after I press "Enter")
Can you give me some hints, where to find the file?
Can I use some files from a Linux-Installation? (e.g. from Suse Linux 7.0)
