strange behaviour of Xfig under cygwin
Dear all, if I try to open a library in 3.2.5b first it takes a long time before the menu open. Than after selecting a Library to load I get a lot of errors File xxx.fig Figure resolution or coordinate specifier missing in line 5 Error reading xxx.fig By the way get this error also if I use the file open menu for the library files What is really strange is if I open the same files on a different computer it works without a problem. The fstab is also the same on both computers. The only difference I see is that the computer on which I have the problem has a Portuguese (Brasil) language settings in Windows Had someone encounter similar problems or know a solution for this?

xfig with cygwin
Hello, I am using xfig on Windows machines (xp and 7). In the last year or two I have problems with figures when I draw patterns and then export them. Namely in the dvi or ps files, the lines or some parts of patterns become so thick that the pattern is not recognizable, actually half black. It seems that it is not a problem of xfig, because if I run it on a unix machine and export the figures (eps, pstex etc), then everything is ok. I have not had this pattern problem before 2009. Is there some bug in cygwin or maybe somewhere else? With kind regards, Roman -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

That list handles X-specific questions and issues. If the end result is not it is not X-related, the issue can come back to this list at that point.

xfig-3.2.3d-cygwin-1.3 does not work after updating to cygwin 1.3.22-1
I have encountered the following problem: after updating to the latest cygwin distribution (cygwin 1.3.22-1 and XFree that comes with it) the xfig-3.2.3d-cygwin-1.3 stopped working - generates lots of error messages and then terminates. Is there an update for xfig I should be using or should I recompile it myself rather than using the precompiled binaries? At this time I can not even find a reference to xfig on cygwin.com. I use WinXP Pro, SP1. Any help will be appreciated, Boris. -- Your favorite stores, helpful shopping tools and great gift ideas.

I use WinXP Pro, SP1. Any help will be appreciated, Boris. Boris, xfig is (unfortunately) not an official Cygwin package, nor is it currently maintained. You should be able to compile it from source OOTB, though. If you succeed, you might consider packaging and maintaining it. I'm sure a package proposal on the cygwin-apps at cygwin dot com list will be cheerfully supported. latest cygwin distribution (cygwin 1.3.22-1 and XFree that comes with it) FYI, the cygwin and XFree-* packages are mostly independent, so you should provide the exact versions of these packages. Also, a list of error messages would be helpful, on the off chance that this has to do with some changes in some XFree-* package.
