For those who may have already downloaded the X-server binaries. here are
the fixes for configuration files.
in /usr/local/etc/ggi open libggi.conf, libgii.conf and libggimisc.conf
files in a NotePad or whatever
wordprocessor you like.
1) Replace all the occurance of .so (note a dot before so) with -0-0-0.dll.
Then save the files with new changes.
2) Start a Cygwin Bash shell
3) cd to /usr/X11R6/bin
3) type export DISPLAY=:0
4) type export GGI_DEBUG=255 (it is recommended, if you want to send a
report. this tells us
what the GGI graphic libraries are doing in the background).
5) type ./XGGI
6) in another bash shell try opening an X application.
X-server will come-up. I am having problems though with displaying the
xterm and xclock apps.
That is what so far I am trying. I am hopefull I will resolve this issue
too.
Have fun trying to figure out the these problems. Good Luck.
Suhaib
PS: please note do not try to mix X11R6.4 dlls with this server. I am not
sure if they will create problems. I have not tried it yet. This is an
alpha release so try to stay with X11R6.3 libs only
please.
