Re: cygwin gtk+ eclipse on windows Gtk-WARNING cannot open display
I'm forced to use cygwin for work so I have no choice. I solved the problem.

cygwin gtk+ eclipse on windows Gtk-WARNING cannot open display
Hello, i installed cygwin, gtk+(available with cygwin) and eclipse on Windows xp. I'm trying to run a simple gtk+ application available on the site www.gtk.org . I have been able to compile my gtk+ program using Eclipse without errors but when I run it the console says Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: and hence my application does not display. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks very much, Loredana:D -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/cygwin-gtk%2B--eclipse-on-windows-Gtk-WARNING-cannot-open-display-tp28949244p28949244.html Sent from the Gtk+ - Apps Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list

Re: Gtk-warning: cannot open display
Have you tried xhost + ? Yes, I tried that, both as root and as my normal user. It doesn't work though :/ Thanks anyway, Johan ___ gtk-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
Re: Gtk-warning: cannot open display
did you try to open another term and logon as root (for example, or even try it with your own login name) and then type this: xhost + then try to run your program. Is it still showing the same problem? Best regards, --- Jean-Christophe Berthon - Original Message - From: Johan N-P [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 11, 2001 1:07 AM Subject: Gtk-warning: cannot open display Hi all, I have a really weird problem. Until yesterday my gtk program worked fine, but suddenly it stopped working. Now it just tells me gtk-warning: cannot open display when I try to run it. $DISPLAY is :0.0 as it should be. And yes, I'm running it as the user who started X. When I compile and run other gtk programs they work fine, it's just my program that behaves like this. I stepped through it in gdb to see where it happens, and I found that it's always gtk_init that gives this error without any apparent reason (there is absolutely nothing wrong with argc and argv or the way I supply them). What could tbe the reason for this?
