First things first. You need to remount everything as binary...You can do
this either by re-running setup and choosing binary as textfile type, or you
can re-mount the stuff by hand. Here's how you re-mount everything by hand:
$ mount -b c:\\cygwin /
$ mount -b c:\\cygwin\\lib /usr/lib
$ mount -b c:\\cygwin\\bin /usr/bin
$ umount --remove-system-mounts
$ mount -b -s c:\\cygwin /
$ mount -b -s c:\\cygwin\\lib /usr/lib
$ mount -b -s c:\\cygwin\\bin /usr/bin
$ umount --remove-user-mounts
You will probably get warnings during this process. These can be safely
ignored.
Once you've got everything re-mounted as binary, you need to compile and
install XFree86. To do that, do the following:
jimmie@JIMMIE ~/xc
$ make World
$ make install
Note that I did NOT use 'make World.Win32'. That commandline is for MSVC++,
not cygwin.
I hope this helps
