Hi Harold, What is the latest status on Cygwin/XFree86? I want to start working on a port of X to Windows, and figured I would start with Cygwin/X to see how that works. I really want to build this with Open Watcom, not GCC, but I don't know what the latest status is. Does the 4.3.0 tree build cleanly for Cygwin, or do you need to apply some patches to make this work? I was not able to figure out where those patches live from the Cygwin/X web site.
Finally have you considered building Cygwin/X with the new SFU 3.5 tools fom Microsoft? It includes native ports of GCC to Windows, which may be better than Cygwin performance wise. I don't know however if the SFU SDK will allow you access to Windows services or only Unix ones. Also I don't recall if I offered to host the Cygwin port in our Perforce server. We already have a public 4.3.0 tree that has been patched with our SciTech SNAP driver code in it (for Linux), and I am in discussions with some of the other members of the community about starting a new project to take over where the XFree86 team appears to be stuck. If you are interested let me know. Regards, --- Kendall Bennett Chief Executive Officer SciTech Software, Inc.
