Today I tried to install gnome for Cygwin under Windows 7. I have used in
the past cygwin (no X), and the last week the X11 GUI, and now wanted to
switch to a "real window manager". I tried to nail down what to do, and
followed the documentation:
1. Started with installing like documented here:
http://sourceware.org/cygwinports/
2. Ensured that the installation included the packets: gnome-terminal,
gnome-session
3. Then I followed the directions in http://cygnome.sourceforge.net/run.html,
there "Environment Settings" and "Start the GNOME desktop manually". My
file ~/.xinitrc contains only the following line:
exec /opt/gnome/bin/gnome-session
4. When I now start 'startx' in a cygwin bash, I get the following message:
$ startx
xinit: XFree86_VT property unexpectedly has 0 items instead of 1
: No such file or directoryile 1: /usr/bin/gnome-session
: Kann nicht ausführen: No such file or directorygnome-session
xinit: connection to X server lost
waiting for X server to shut down ..........
xinit: X server slow to shut down, sending KILL signal
waiting for server to die
5. I then tried to start gnome-session by hand:
$ gnome-session
/usr/bin/gnome-session.exe: error while loading shared libraries:
cygXtst-6.dll: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I don't have any idea what to do now. I did not find any information on the
internet. So my questions are:
* Do I have followed the right directions?
* What do I have to do or to change to fix my installation?
Thank's a lot
