- Reply-to: cygwin-xfree at cygwin dot com
This message is concerned with the current version of
the xfce-utils package from Cygwin Ports so I suppose
it is of primary interest to Yaakov Selkowitz.
The xfce-utils package contains the original
xfhelp4 shell script from the XFCE distribution.
On Cygwin that one is broken as any user of
XFCE on Cygwin/X would notice after clicking
on the `Manual' icon on the Desktop.
The script needs several modifications in order
to run under Cygwin/X. I looked into the matter
and found that these are quite simple to make.
Here is the same script after I made appropriate
changes. I will apreciate if the maintainer of
XFCE on Cygwin Ports (presumably Yaakov) takes
a look at it and incorporates it in the current
version of the xfce-utils package.
I tested my version of xfhelp4 on my
Cygwin/X + XFCE (CygwinPorts) system
(everything current).
