RE: Installation How-To Draft

[Olivier Jacquemin <Olivier dot Jacquemin at DialogSystems dot be>]

Hello,

ntsec is the origin.  On my installation the CYGWIN environment variable is
set to
ntsec binmode tty
If I do 'export CYGWIN='
and then remove the /usr/X11R6/ directory and untar the X packages again,
then xfree starts correctly.  At this moment, 'ls -l *.dll' gives
-rw-r--r--   1 oja      None        72704 Jul 16 19:30 libICE.dll
-rw-r--r--   1 oja      None       203776 Jul 16 19:30 libPEX5.dll
-rw-r--r--   1 oja      None        29184 Jul 16 19:30 libSM.dll
-rw-r--r--   1 oja      None       726528 Jul 16 19:30 libX11.dll

Afterward if I type
export CYGWIN='ntsec binmode tty'
then X starts correctly again, but 'ls -l *.dll' gives (without any use of
chmod)
-rwxr-xr-x   1 administ None        72704 Jul 16 19:30 libICE.dll*
-rwxr-xr-x   1 administ None       203776 Jul 16 19:30 libPEX5.dll*
-rwxr-xr-x   1 administ None        29184 Jul 16 19:30 libSM.dll*
-rwxr-xr-x   1 administ None       726528 Jul 16 19:30 libX11.dll*

The least I can say is that I don't understand this fully.
