Hello,
After I have updated my installation today, and when I am running xinit now, I get a Windows window with the message that "cygfreetype-6.dll was not found".
After I did the following, everything worked again:
cd /usr/X11R6/bin/ cp cygfreetype-9.dll cygfreetype-6.dll
Constantine,
Hmm... I would appreciate it if you could help me to figure out what the real problem is here. The new XFree86-bin-4.3.0-7 package no longer contains cygfreetype-9.dll, as this library is now distributed as part of the freetype2/libfreetype26 package. freetype2 defines the version of the freetype2 library as '6' instead of the '9' that XFree86 was using as the library version. I added a copy of cygfreetype-9.dll to the XFree86-lib-compat package for those that need the old library.
However, I want to know what application was failing in your xinit scripts. There should not be an application that requires cygfreetype-9.dll in the default script. Have you modified your script? What program are you launching that requires this DLL? Are you launching emacs?
I would like to get any old applications that use cygfreetype-9.dll rebuilt.
Cheers, Constantine.
