I know that this list has been told to use the
x11r6.4-cygwin-ss-dev.tar.gz version of Xwindows for the cygwin
1.0 cd, but before it was discussed on this list, I found the
pre-alpha-xfree-cygwin-b20.1.tar.bz2 version. While the Xserver
itself is in the pre-alpha stages, the libraries and clients seem
to work as well or better than the x11r6.4-cygwin-ss-dev.tar.gz
version. Is there some reason why we should not use this
pre-alpha-xfree-cygwin-b20.1 version?
The x11r6.4-cygwin-ss-dev.tar.gz version can't run xterm, it just
complains about not being able to find an appropriate termcap
entry, even after I added one. Also the header files produce
tons of annoying warnings, because they lack return types on
several function declarations, which produce warnings about
assuming int for the return type.
I thinking about sticking with the pre-alpha version,
because the above reasons, but I wanted to make sure
there aren't any hidden gotcha's.. :) Thanks for any
information.
