What he means is that Cygwin/X long ago transitioned from XFree86 to
X.org for the X server. If you are still using the ancient XFree86
packages you would be very well advised to remove them and install the
xorg-x11-* packages. From the standpoint of the application it doesn't
matter, X11 is X11.

You need the -devel package installed (xorg-x11-devel) and then you can
link with -lX11. Again, this is why we ask for people to post the
output of "cygcheck -svr" when asking for help so that we can see what
packages you have installed.
