You are running an ancient version of Cygwin/X.  Please read these,
upgrade, and try again:

cygwin problem

2010-06-13 Thread hakobyan

Dear Madam/Sir,

Could you help me to solve the following problem, please.
Each time I run "startx", I get the following error message:
A fatal error has occured and Cygwin/X will now exit,
Please open /tmp/XWin.log for more information.
Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project
Release: 6.8.99.901-4
Contact: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com
XWin was started with the following command-line:
X:0 -multiwindow-clipboard

Sometimes, after getting this error message I get the xterm opened,  
but in most of the cases not.

What would be your suggestion for solving the problem?
Thanks,
Rafael

Re: Gtk+ & cygwin problem

Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:


Some googling would have shown you what this means.  You need to be 
running an X server and set the DISPLAY variable in order to use GTK+ 
(or any other X11 GUI).


This being a Cygwin/X question, it really belongs on the Cygwin/X list; 
redirecting accordingly.



And on my Vista machine I have gtkmm for Windows setup from which I can run
Gtk-demo from my Vista cmd prompt


GTKmm for Windows is just that -- for WINDOWS.  Cygwin's GTK+ is a 
*NIX/X11 version and needs a Cygwin-built GTKmm, which is available from 
Cygwin Ports.



(but cannot compile gtk+ code with from Vista cmd
prompt as I get 'access denied' error message?!).


'/usr/bin/gcc' is a symlink, which Windows itself doesn't understand. 
Cygwin commands are generally meant to be run from a Cygwin environment 
(in this case, bash, or another shell of your choice).


> I have cygwin/bin in my path&  gtkmm/bin also.

This is asking for problems.  You're better off keeping extra Win32 
components out of your Cygwin PATH.

Alex,

I have no where on the web to put these files.

However, I have uploaded a new item with some compressed versions -
see http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-09/msg01823.html

However, this item does not contain the setup.log.full versions, which
people might want.

You can place the files somewhere on the web and post a link to these files.

This is attempt 4 - I cannot seem to get the attachment there, since I get:

All,

This is attempt 3 ... the previous attempts failed because the emailer said
the messages, with the uncompressed log files was too big, and thus would
send them.

I have tarred and compressed them into the logs.tgz file - manifest:

Subject: RE: XFree86-bin-icons .. believe cygwin xfree86 a "red" herring
... this is I believe a cygwin problem


All,

I believe this problem relates to the items listed in

http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-09/msg01680.html - RE: Install gets to 99%
and then stops
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-09/msg00747.html - Setup 2.358 Hangs
During Post-Install Script

Additionally I have two separate machines, one fully updated on 26-Sep-2003
(which exhibits the problem) and one updated today that doesn't.

Differences:

1/ The 26-Sep-2003 machine uses the ** latest ** setup.exe (files labelled
machine2, doesnt_work)
2/ Today's update use the previous older version (file labelled
machine1_work)
3/ I built special private install packages for 26-Sep-2003 machine which I
have uses successfully for several months which do ** NOT ** involve
XFree86 and these packages also exhibit:

Something strange is going on here... setup.exe says "Running: No
Package /etc/postinstal/".  What is up with the "No
Package"?

My packages deal with my special problem with the password file (published
on this list), the jar command, script etc. The setup.log.full contains the
/usr/bin/bash -x dump of the /etc/postinstall/ files.
4/ When investigating, the problem in 3, I to found the 'cygpath' problem in
** my ** private packages (which as stated do ** NOT ** involve XFree86)

This leads me to believe that there is some kind of interaction between the
new setup.exe and cygpath that is causing the problem.

I am attaching both sets of setup.log, setup.log.full, and the cygcheck
output for both machines.

Also I noticed within the file setup_machine2_doesnt_work.log.full:

*ROFLMAO*, they can't help it, they're just n00bies!  Seriously
though, the mcookie application is supposed to allivate this error. 
Perhaps it should be included in the script.

_Never_ mail me directly when the question belongs to the cygwin-xfree
mailinglist.

BTW: The question was already asked. Please check the archives.

Re: X in cygwin problem

2002-01-03 Thread Andrew Markebo

/etc/profile, or ~/.profile, maybe add something like

if ! echo $PATH | /bin/grep -q "/usr/X11R6/bin" ; then
  PATH="$PATH:/usr/X11R6/bin"
fi

(Well it has a bunch of safety-nets but..)
