Hi,
I am trying to use your Win32 X server.
The first step was perfect, I accepted all the default settings,
I proceeded as shown in the step-by step tutorial.
I successfully installed it, I have the bash (DOS) box.
Even I can make a limited use of it, like
"
Veghj@Veghj_laptop ~
$ ls /
bin cygdrive cygwin.bat cygwin.ico etc home lib proc tmp usr
var
"
I cannot go much further, however.
In page
http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ug/configure.html#configure-cygwin-x-overview
I see
Cygwin/X settings are configured primarily through command-line
parameters passed to XWin.exe. Cygwin/X comes with a file called
startxwin.bat that launches an X Server, a terminal, and a window
manager.
The only batch file I see is
/cygwin.bat
In page
http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ug/using.html#using-starting
I see
"startxwin.bat
startxwin.bat - Use a MS-DOS batch file as the startup script. An
example startxwin.bat is included in X-startup-scripts, which is
extracted according to the instructions in the Section called Installing
Cygwin/X in Chapter 2. Run /usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.bat by
double-clicking it in Windows Explorer.
startxwin.sh
startxwin.sh - Use an sh shell script as the startup script. An example
startxwin.sh is included in X-startup-scripts, which is extracted
according to the instructions in the Section called Installing Cygwin/X
in Chapter 2. Run /usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.sh in a Cygwin shell:
"
However, there is no such .bat and no such .sh
Another method here is
startx - Use the standard X Window System startx script with its
attendant ~/.xinitrc configuration file. First you need to create
~/.xinitrc from the template in /etc/X11/xinit/:
Username@CygwinHost ~
$ cp /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc ~/.xinitrc
However, in my system
"
Veghj@Veghj_laptop /etc
$ ls
DIR_COLORS defaults networks preremove protocols skel
alternatives group passwd profile services termcap
bash.bashrc hosts postinstall profile.d setup
"
i.e. even I do not have /etc/X11
Also, commands like xterm, ssh do not work.
What do I wrong or where can I find the right manual?
Please cc me, because I am not (yet) a list member.
Thanks for any info in advance
Janos
