Re: wrong app-defaults in fresh installation
It is the lesstif package which creates a folder /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults when /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/Mwm is extracted. When there is already a link app-defaults - /etc/X11/app-defaults/ the everything is fine - otherwise later you will get the app-defaults link to /etc/X11/app-defaults/ inside the usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults folder. I had the same problem sometime ago and complained ;) to the list. Don't know whether the lesstif maintainer or somebody else could fix it.

I have had this problem some time ago: within the directory /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults has been created a link to /etc/X11/app-defaults (where the app-defaults of many applications are). So while in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults there are on the app-defaults of Mwm all the other app-defaults are in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/app-defaults and the various X apps (e.g. xcalc) can't find them. Last time I thought that this problem was my fault in that I installed X, lessTiff, WindowMaker as separate packages before they were included in setup and then, when they become available in setup, I replaced them with the setup versions. So I thought some re-packaging would have caused that problem and simply replaced /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults with a link to /etc/X11/app-defaults. Now, with a fresh Cygwin installation, I have the some problem (that I will solve in the same way) so I think there is some problem with the installation of some X package. Ciao, Danilo Turina
Re: Installing LessTif breaks XFree86
Graham Bloice wrote: Installing LessTif-0.93.18-3 creates a directory in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 named app-defaults. This overrides the symbolic link placed there by XFree86-lib post install pointing to /etc/X11. Amongst other things this breaks XCalc. So finally we got the culprit ;) which was already discussed in that thread: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2002-11/msg00200.html http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2002-11/msg00216.html -- DECODON GmbHphone: +49(0)3834 515231 W.-Rathenau-Str. 49a fax: +49(0)3834 515239 17489 Greifswaldemail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Germany web: www.decodon.com
Re: How can I avoid using a DOS box??
I found that the run command which comes with Cygwin-XFree is quite useful for launching any shell script with a Windows link without a DOS box flashing. The problem is that it works only when $(cygpath -w /) is in your Windows PATH variable - otherwise it does not find cygwin1.dll. But a simple workaround for this (if you do not like Cygwin in the Windows Path) is to (hard-)link run in /bin: ln /usr/X11R6/bin/run.exe /bin/run.exe This i.e. is the way I start X with reading .xinitrc and .xserverrc from my HOME (what startxwin.bat does not): C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe bash --login -c startx You also can use this as yet another RXVT here approach: echo Add Explorer extension \RXVT here\ regtool add /root/Directory/shell/0cmd-rxvt regtool set /root/Directory/shell/0cmd-rxvt/ RXVT here regtool add /root/Directory/shell/0cmd-rxvt/command regtool set /root/Directory/shell/0cmd-rxvt/command/ $(cygpath -w -a /)\\bin\\run.exe sh ~/bin/goto \%1\ where a goto script should do the rest. I wonder whether a) run should find cygwin1.dll by reading the mounts from the registry or b) run should go in /bin by default Is either a) or b) an option? Frank-Michael
Re: xwinclip test 6 hacked to leave selection untouched
I installed your xwinclip and it works fine. But in rootless mode I noticed that every time when the mouse enters a X-window the entry point is marked with semi-transparent darkgray square (~40 pixels). Not a problem - but ugly ;) Frank-Michael Cygwin Win95/NT Configuration Diagnostics Current System Time: Fri Nov 15 11:51:28 2002 Windows XP Home Edition Ver 5.1 Build 2600 Path: . c:\home\moser\scripts\cygwin c:\home\moser\scripts c:\home\moser\bin\cygwin c:\home\moser\bin c:\home\moser\work\bin .
