Re: Heads-up: xfig uninstall
Yaakov, Thanks, I fixed the circular dependency. It should show up on mirrors within 24 hours.

Cygwin/X NEdit package maintainership
It might be wise if someone from the NEdit project would review the Cygwin/X NEdit package. The goal would be to determine if the Cygwin/X NEdit package has any common or easily detectable platform-dependent bugs. To download the NEdit source package for Cygwin/X, grab the package from the following link, or take note of the directory that it is in and find another mirror in the list at cygwin.com. You can also use Cygwin's setup.exe to grab the NEdit source package and it will be automatically unpacked in /usr/src. http://mirrors.kernel.org/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/release/XFree86/nedit/nedit-5.4-1-src.tar.bz2 If you grabbed the source package manually, move it to /usr/src and unpack it with 'tar xjf nedit-5.4-1-src.tar.bz2'. Check the file nedit-5.4/CYGWIN-PATCHES/nedit.README for information on which packages are required at build-time. Build the package with the following set of commands: ./nedit-5.4-1.sh prep && ./nedit-5.4-1.sh conf > conf.log 2>&1 && ./nedit-5.4-1.sh build > build.log 2>&1 && ./nedit-5.4-1.sh install > install.log 2>&1 Now you should have a directory full of the .o files that can be used to make incremental builds if you find fixes that need to be made. Please carefully note any problems that you find and send them to both lists that this message was sent to. Thanks for your help, Harold

The xserver running on the windows host is setup to accept only clients from the session started by xdm. xhost now tells the server (which is on the windows computer) to allow connections from local (to the xserver) clients. This means the xhost 127.0.0.1 tells the xserver to accept connections from the windows host. After that you can start xwinclip on the windows host. bye ago NP: Letzte Instanz - Glockenrequiem -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723

The only thing I can do then is log into to my linux system. Do I then need to run a *local* cygwin window on my win2k system and run 'xwinclip'? In that case what will running 'xhost 127.0.0.1' on the remote system do? (I know what xhost does, I just don't see what it has to do with running xwinclip). Or have I got hold of completely the wrong end of the stick? -- Chris Green ([EMAIL PROTECTED])

Re: Installation Clarification
M Nageshwara Rao, Installing an older version of gcc on the current version of Cygwin is not supported. However, that discussion is off-topic for this mailing list and should be sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I warn you though, that they are simply going to tell you that this is unsupported.

RE: Installation Clarification
gcc 2.95.3 was removed last year. Several people on the Cygwin list complained that it was making a lot of errors, so Chris removed it. Read up on GCC 3.3.1, and see if you can make your progect work with it, else find an old mirror that has the binary code for 2.95.3. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Nageshwara rao M Sent: Thursday, January 01, 2004 2:19 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Installation Clarification Respected sir/madam, I want to know how to INSTALL C compiler of lower version on current release of CYGWIN,which I have recently downloaded and installed from cygwin site.
