Hi,

I try to compile a (very simple) X program on my NT machine. I've got the
cygnus distribution, ecgs-1.00, coolview, and the X11R6.3 (from Orlando da
Silva). The binary X programs run fine, but my own program doesn't. I get 2
possible behaviours:
- When linking with the dynamic link libraries from X11, a dialog box coming
up, saying that it can't find the ll dynamic link library in my path (and
indeed, I don't have any ll.dll anywhere)
- When linking with the static libraries (/usr/X11R6.2/lib/static) an
exception crash with the following dump:

I then tried to compile the example programs included in the X11
distribution. Here I stumbled on the problem that
a) people tell me I should mount my directories binary (which I did)
b) the example programs have the PC convention of CR LF, and so obviously
won't compile when on  a binary mount point. (aaarghhh)

So, I tried to compile them when they are not on a binary mount. Running
them gives me the same message about the missing dll (surprisingly enough
even when I link with the static libraries).

Here are  my questions:
- where/what is the missing dll
- what's wrong with the static libraries
- can I find the X11 examples in Unix LF convention ?
- what is the effect of using Coolview without binary mounts (sorry, I
didn't find this anywhere, even not on Sergey's homepage, not been looking
hard enough ?).

Thanks,

Kris
