RE: Xfree86 application starting error

["Suhaib Siddiqi" <ssiddiqi at inspirepharm dot com>]

You need a copy of the latest cygwin1.dl from Cygwin latest snapshots.

 

http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/snapshots/

 

The Xfree86 code is best compiled using the Cygwin snapshots due to enhanced socket

features and various bug fixes which were in B20.1.  This is mentioned in ReadMe or

one of the message to the list.

 

If you intend to recompile the code, then you will need the

 cygwin-inst-19990920.tar.gz

 

There are a few other things to be check for compilation, like CYGWIN=binmode

Subject: Xfree86 application starting error

I have been trying to run the pre-compiled Xfree86 application programs and am getting an error no matter which app I run.  When I try to run a program such as xclock.exe I get the following error.

 

Error Starting Program

    The LIBICE.DLL file is

    linked to missing export CYGWIN1.DLL:_ctype_.

 

What am I missing or what have I set up wrong? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
