Hello all, First of all, I apologize for the length of this post. I have done a lot of reading, downloading, and building and I am stuck. I am somewhat new to using Cygwin but I have been an embedded systems engineer for 15 years so I am not new to computers.
I am trying to get the following packages to run on my Cygwin/XFree86: 1) Eterm-0.9.1 - an enhanced terminal program that allows backgrounds 2) gpsim-0.20.14 - a Microchip PIC simulation package Trying to build Eterm, it requires imlib. I downloaded imlib- 2.1.06. The configure fails, looking for shmat(). I sent a message to the cygwin list, and received a reply from J. Larsen directing me to load Cygipc, which I did. This time the configure fails looking for XShmAttach(). To build gpsim, I need glib and GTK+, pkg-config, and gtk+extra-0.99.17 I tried building the lastest versions of glib and GTK, 2.0.6, with no luck. I backed up to the 1.2.8 version, and that builds, but the built version fails the testglib.exe file, seg faults on string test. I went to the maillist, and downloaded Lupo's glib 1.2.10 and GTK+1.2.10. Tried to build gtk+extra, and during the configure stage, a Windows messagebox comes up and says that I am missing "shmat" for X11. Configure completed but said I have an invalid version of GTK+. OK, several things may be going on. I think I am having the same problem with both builds. 1. I am running Cygipc as a service on Win2K. Do I need to do something else, like re-build XFree86? Is there a site with instructions? 2. What else is required to get imlib and GTK+ to work correctly? Has anybody been able to do so, or am I trying to do something Cygwin cannot perform? 3. I saw one post which indicated a problem with FAT-32. Is NTFS a requirement to run Cygwin/XFree86 on Win2K? I don't want to waste anybody's time, but I would really appreciate any help offered. I know that eveybody's time is valuable (I promised a patch to the WxWindows group over a month ago I haven't gotten to yet :-( ), but getting gpsim is a fairly high priority for me.
