specific and probably more appropriate than the overall xorg lists.
I wanted to build a native windows X server (essentially an
open-source Xming). I had to patch a number of the packages along the
way, but did eventually arrive at a build that worked. I looked at
and used a few of the Xming patches, but only generally went to those
when the naive approach didn't work.
I'm looking for some feedback on the patches so that they can get into
the main line of the projects.
I built using mingw-cross-env, with my fork here that includes the
dependency packages: https://bitbucket.org/rpavlik/mingw-cross-env/
This builds everything except the xorg-server module (ignore the fact
there's an xorg-server makefile there - the patches aren't up to date
for that module.)
Patches for these dependencies are as follows, in that mingw-cross-env
repo (These should all have commit messages from being exported from
git format-patch):
libX11-1-add-xwinsock-include, libX11-2-windows-threads,
libX11-3-MinGW-lacks-caddr_t
libXaw-1-need-winsock
libXfont-1-dummy-readlink
libxcb-1-fix-include-order-with-Xdmcp, libxcb-2-wsastartup - this last
one fixes running libX11 apps built for Windows, including the
integrated multi-window WM.
xkbcomp-1-Use-X11-Xwindows.h, xkbcomp-2-Look-in-windows-base-dir-too -
this last one supports the "RELOCATE_PROJECTROOT" option in the XWin
server - should still work fine in the normal case though.
