Re: 1.5.21: startxwin.sh works, startxwin.bat does not work
René Berber wrote: Scott Fordin wrote: Thanks again for replying, René. Sorry it took me a couple of days to get back to you. My responses are embedded below. OK, it seems that the startxserver is not even a valid script (I haven't tested, I don't have Singular, I'm saying that from the result you had). Strange thing though is that it does work on another machine. Question: Why were you trying to start XWin with that bat file? I don't know what it is for, but seems redundant. Well, the way things install, a Start X Server shortcut is installed on the desktop. It's more handy than opening a bash shell and then running startx from there. I've tried configuring a similar shortcut for startx, but I can't get it to work. Since startxwin.bat fails with the same error as startxserver.bat, I can't just use that on the desktop instead. I don't have a standalone version of Perl installed, so I can't run the .sh version of the script. I don't know how else to do it. I looked, but I didn't find an answer, but do you know of a way I can pass a shell command to bash.exe from the Windows command prompt? I then tried the /usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.bat script and got the same error. [snip] Now to the real problem: are the files different? There are differences, but none seems significant vis a vis this particular problem. I've attached the diff output. I can't even figure out where the lapack libraries are being called... They should be. There is no reference to the Singular directory in the normal startxwin.bat file... check for symbolic or hard links, perhaps Singular's (post)installation is doing something wrong. I see no other explanation for getting the same error message.

One of the 2 files has \r\n endings (that's the reason for the first 2 differences) but as long as they are being executed by command.com it doesn't matter.

I've tried configuring a similar shortcut for startx, but I can't get it to work. You can create a shortcut to startx.sh and then edit its Properties so the target ends up like: C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe -p /usr/X11R6/bin/ bash --login -c startx [Ref:http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.os.cygwin.xfree/16545] I use a shortcut to start X Windows only (no xterm): C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe -p /usr/X11R6/bin XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error -dpi 100 Since startxwin.bat fails with the same error as startxserver.bat, I can't just use that on the desktop instead.
