[chris@areti.co.uk: Re: Keyboard auto-repeat defaults when using 'xwin -query host']

Re: Working with fonts

treat as very urgent
Dear Sir/Madam, I have funds that I need transfered out using legal means but since I am still a serving government staff, I would not be able to do this on my own. The amount that is involved is the sum of $33,600,000.00 USD. (20% of which is yours if you agree to help me). I inderstand that you would be a bit worried about being a part of this transaction but I want you to nderstand that at no point would you need to give me your bank account information, it is the paying authority, that after confirming the ownership of the funds, that would ask you for the details of that nature and to this end, I would need you to open a new bank account that would be used for the purpose of this transaction only. You are then required to forward the remaining balance (Minus the Interest, handling and tax clearance charges, which Will be offset by Us Deducted from the transferred sum) to a nominated bank account in the Cayman Islands. I don't think I need to spell out the importance of Secrecy in this Matter considering the amount involved. Let me state clearly here that the account that you would be providing does not need to have funds in it, it is only needed to be active and be able to receive funds. So, if I don't hear from you within three days I will assume you are not interested and will solicit for a new partner, but if you know you are interested let me know. List your phone fax Numbers so we may communicate with you. This is important as we would have to talk about the modalities of the transaction. You should also note that efforts are being made to make sure that everything is done legally and the final payment centre is in America, that is after all our documentations have been crossed checked and verified that everything is above board. You would be dealing directly with the payment officials in America this I am making sure of for the sake of transperency. Waiting to hear from you. Regards, Mike Bayo
problems with libX11.a
Hello Everyone, I'm running Cygwin on a Windows 2000 machine and I'm trying to get MicroWindows going. My problem is that I'm getting the following error: *** make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.a', needed by `/microwindows/microwindows-0.90/src/bin/nano-X'. Stop. *** I do have libX11.dll but can't find the libX11.a library anywhere. We've updated our Cygwin this morning using the Cygwin setup utility so I think we are as current as we can be.

Re: problems with libX11.a
Mark, Well you have one problem that is immediate: You need the XFree86-prog package. The XFree86-prog package is installed via Cygwin's setup.exe program. You possibly have another problem that may be secondary: If MicroWindows is trying to link against libX11.a explicitly, rather than the usual -lX11, then you will need to fix the build files for MicroWindows to tell it to just link against -lX11. Our linker will figure out that -lX11 really means to link against libX11.dll.a. But, you shouldn't look into this possible problem until you have XFree86-prog installed and have tried building again.

Re: Possible to use clipboard with remote/xdm connection?
Chris, I think there is a timing and authentication problem with the internal -clipboard implementation and remote XDM sessions. You can, instead, use the 'xwinclip' program (installed via Cygwin's setup.exe) and wait to launch it until after you have logged in to your remote XDM host. You may have to run 'xhost 127.0.0.1' on the remote host after you have logged in.

Re: fyi -
Steve, Yup, saw the announcement, but there is no information on how it actually affects the operation of XFree86. It won't mean much of anything if they have just stopped using their closed mailing list. If, on the other hand, they are going to open up development to developers that make meaningul contributions, then it will really shake things up.

Hi Harold, Thanks for your help. We were able to get MicroWindows running after you pointed us in the right direction.

The following is a clip from Makefile.rules: ifeq ($(X11), Y) DEFINES += -DX11=1 ifneq ($(ARCH),CYGWIN) # Cygwin can't use this - the -lX11 needs to be specified # *after* the object files that use it, but this inserts # it at the start. For Cygwin, we will add libX11.a to the # library list instead. LDFLAGS += -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 else MW_CORE_LIBS += /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.dll.a endif ifeq ($(ARCH),FREEBSD-X86) INCLUDEDIRS += -I/usr/X11R6/include endif ifeq ($(ARCH),CYGWIN) INCLUDEDIRS += -I/usr/X11R6/include endif endif We changed the 10th line to its current state. It used to say MW_CORE_LIBS += /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.a Once we made that change everything else fell into place and we were able to run the demos. My steps were: 1. cd microwin/src 2. Typed cp Configs/config.cygwin config for the cygwin configuration. See CONTENTS and Configs/README for more information. 3. Typed make 4. Change the Makefile.rules file to link against libX11.dll.a instead of libX11.a 5. Typed make 4. Ran ./demo.sh Thanks again for your help,
