Thanks in advance for any help.
I had the "bright" idea to dedicate a whole partition to Cygwin (D:\usr,
D:bin etc.).
Now XWin refuses to run. I initially assumed I was missing something simple
like setting an environment variable, and posted to the main cygwin group.
I have since come to believe this is an X problem after all and will add a
post
here.
It seems that during my cygwin installation everything was installed in D:
(D:\usr, D:\bin etc), except for usr\X11R6\lib\X11\fonts. which was instead
installed as C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\lib\X11\fonts . When I restore the latter
XWin will run however it refuses to do so if
C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\lib\X11\fonts does not exist. I did add the font
directory to D:\usr\X11R6\lib\X11\, but it did not make a difference.
Am I creating more trouble than it is worth by installing in D:\ rather than
C:\cygwin?
