I don?t think I managed to get this to work. This
seems to open a single big window for cygwin ? which
is not want I wanted. So I then went in and added the
?multiwindow flag. With this, I again got that error
i.e. error dialog.
I actually want to find a way to execute graphical
applications by this method. So with this method ?
even if we succeed, would not allow me to start up a
graphical application. So I went ahead and edited this
? so that it runs a shell script instead of XWin.exe ?
however with that I either get the error dialog, or
nothing works.
O.O.
