[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: nedit-5.5-6
The following package has been updated for the Cygwin distribution: *** nedit-5.5-6 NEdit is a multi-purpose text editor for the X Window System, which combines a standard, easy to use, graphical user interface with the thorough functionality and stability required by users who edit text eight hours a day. It provides intensive support for development in a wide variety of languages, text processors, and other tools, but at the same time can be used productively by just about anyone who needs to edit text. This release adds a desktop menu entry. -- Yaakov Cygwin/X CYGWIN-XFREE-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO == If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-xfree-announce mailing list, please use the automated form at: http://cygwin.com/lists.html#subscribe-unsubscribe If this does not work, then look at the List-Unsubscribe: tag in the email header of this message.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: grace-5.1.23-1
The following package has been updated for the Cygwin distribution: *** grace-5.1.23-1 Grace is a WYSIWYG tool to make two-dimensional plots of numerical data. Its capabilities are roughly similar to GUI-based programs like Sigmaplot or Microcal Origin plus script-based tools like Gnuplot or Genplot. Its strength lies in the fact that it combines the convenience of a graphical user interface with the power of a scripting language which enables it to do sophisticated calculations or perform automated tasks. This is an update to the latest stable upstream release, built for Motif 2.3. -- Yaakov Cygwin/X CYGWIN-XFREE-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO == If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-xfree-announce mailing list, please use the automated form at: http://cygwin.com/lists.html#subscribe-unsubscribe If this does not work, then look at the List-Unsubscribe: tag in the email header of this message.

Will the obsolete OpenGL package always be available to use in the future, or will this package eventually be completely dropped from Cygwin? (I hope not, this may make us have to move away from Cygwin.) Theoretically yes, obsolete packages will eventually be dropped. But realistically, the time between now and when this will happen could be measured in years. This should give you plenty of time to make appropriate adjustments. -- Larry _ A: Yes. Q: Are you sure?

In Cygwin you can only use GLUT with X-Windows, any historic projects will no longer work. - /usr/include/opengl/GL no longer exists (used to have Win32 native OpenGL files, including GLUT) - /usr/include/w32api/GL is the new location for Win32 native OpenGL files, but GLUT is no longer supported for Win32 native - /usr/include/GL still has OpenGL and GLUT header files for X-Windows Correct on all points. - As a workaround, we can still install the obsolete OpenGL package from the _obsolete category in Cygwin's setup.exe installer, which will provide /usr/include/opengl/GL with Win32 native OpenGL+GLUT For now, but this is not supported, and there are no guarantees as to how long it will remain available. Also, I am trying to figure out how to resolve this issue going forward. An alternative may be for you to compile freeglut for WGL and use that instead locally. If you don't have libGL-devel (Mesa) installed, this will be straightforward; if you do, you'll need to work around /usr/include/GL. I don't anticipate supporting this configuration within the distro, but it should work for your own purposes. The attached .cygport should get you started. The alternative is to build your application for native Windows, using the mingw64-*-gcc compilers available in the distro and mingw64-*-freeglut packages available in Cygwin Ports.
