Hi Colin,
I have updated the sources of the cygwin-xfree.
Unfortunately, you will have to do a bit of odwnload first.
What you need is xc-1.tar.bz2, xc-2.tar.bz2, and xc-3.tar.bz2. Extracting
these will create a
directory xc. You will need GGI installed in /usr/local. To compile GGI
you need X11R6.3 libraries
and to compile the sources in XC-x.tar.bz (X11R6.3 based Windows system) you
need GGI.
So it is a head and tail game ;-) Therefore, I have a precompiled X11R6.3
libraries for Cygwin B20.1 available on the Sourceware. Please install the
X11R6.3 libs in /usr/X11R6.
1) Extract the GGI bzip2 archive. It will create a *degas* directory. Cd
to /degas/libs/libgii
and type
./configure --with-x --x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include --x-libraries=/usr/X11R
6/lib --disable-linux-mouse --disable-linux-joy --disable-linux-keyboard.
(check ./configure --help to see if the spellings
or syntex of these --disable--xxx are correct)
Then type make and afterward make install.
2) Cd to /degas/libs/libggi and type the above ./configure command agains
followed by make and make install.
3) Extract the XC-x.tar.bz2 archives
4) Cd to xc directory and type *make World*. Donot worry about Xprt.exe
(Print server)
and Xvfb.exe (X-video server) not being compiled, at the moment. I am
working on
a fix for this. they are not the must right now.
5) It take one hours on my 500 MHz Pentium III PC machine to compile the
cygwin-xfree code. After complication is finished, type *make install*. It
will install the compiled libs, header files and
executables in /usr/X11R6
Please fel free to write if you need help or have any questions.
We look forward to your help for a DirectX/DirectInpit target for GGI.
Regards
Suhaib
