Re: WindowMaker does not find libX11.dll


I just did a cygcheck on wmaker.exe:

=======================================
$ cygcheck ./wmaker.exe
.\wmaker.exe
  C:\cygwin\bin\cygjpeg-62.dll
    C:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll
      C:\WINDOWS\System32\ADVAPI32.DLL
        C:\WINDOWS\System32\ntdll.dll
        C:\WINDOWS\System32\KERNEL32.dll
        C:\WINDOWS\System32\RPCRT4.dll
  C:\cygwin\bin\cygungif-4.dll
    C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\libX11.dll
  C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\cygX11-6.dll
    C:\cygwin\bin\cygcygipc-2.dll
  C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\cygXext-6.dll
  C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\cygXpm-4.dll
  C:\cygwin\bin\cygpng12.dll
    C:\cygwin\bin\cygz.dll
  C:\cygwin\bin\cygtiff4.dll
=======================================

These lines are of interest:

  C:\cygwin\bin\cygungif-4.dll
    C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\libX11.dll

This means that the linungif package was built against the old 4.2.0 X libraries (it hasn't been rebuilt since 2002) and needs to be rebuilt soon since those libraries are going to be pulled with the next release.

I will see what I can do about this.

Hi all,

I had problems with a fresh setup (today with all the newest packages with
XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-50 and all). WindowMaker will not start, since it cannot
find libX11.dll. And really, this file does not exist after setup.exe.

From some older discussion I found that copying cygX11-6.dll
to libX11.dll fixes the problem, and it did. Does this mean that
WindowMaker package is just out of date?

Thanks,
Tuli
