Re: minimal cygwin to run XFree86 ?


Reinald,

I have a minimum installation located in D: directory:

Path		files
D:\xfree	xfree-start.bat
D:\xfree\bin	xwin.exe, rxvt.exe,sh.exe, run.exe, twm.exe, xmodmap.exe
		cygwin1.dll, libICE.dll, libSM.dll, libX11.dll, libz.dll
		xmodmap.de

xwin.exe then requests fonts at least in
C:\usr\x11r6\lib\x11\fonts\misc 
and
C:\usr\x11r6\lib\x11\fonts\Pex
as well as rgb.txt in
C:\usr\x11r6\lib\x11\

All text files have to have UNIX style line endings.

All files except run.exe stem from CYGWIN installation. No mounting
points have been set. Sources of run.exe are from
http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/index.html.

My xfree-start.bat is:
********************************************************************
@echo off
SET DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0

SET PATH=%PATH%;d:\xfree\bin

cd d:\xfree\bin

start XWin.exe -screen 0 1024x768x16 -whitepixel 255 -blackpixel 0 
 
run twm

run rxvt -sb -fn "Lucidia Console-12" -e sh

run xmodmap xmodmap.de

********************************************************************

Applications may be started like
run rxvt.exe -n xterm -iconic -e xcircuit &

In fact I have assembled all these files from a complete CYGWIN
installation and transferred them to a "fresh" computer using NT4 SP6.

Regards

Holger
