Errmmm...the current "xpm" package (now named "xpm-nox") does not
contain my old X-based version of the Xpm library -- that is,
cygXpm-X4.dll is not included any longer. xpm-nox contains ONLY the
X11-free version of the Xpm library.
This is because all X-based Xpm functionality is provided by the
cygwin-xfree project's /usr/X11R6/bin/libXpm.dll. Now, the absence of
cygXpm-X4.dll will break certain other apps that may have been compiled
in the past to rely on cygXpm-X4.dll.
We have two choices:
a) add cygXpm-X4.dll back to the xpm-nox package -- but without
import libs. This way, old projects (like dxsamples) will continue to
work without interruption, but newly compiled projects will link with
cygwin-xfree's libXpm.dll by default -- or, if appropriate steps are
taken, will link with xpm-nox's cygXpm-noX4.dll. However, this creates
no "encouragement" to projects like dxsamples to recompile and use
cygwin-xfree's libXpm.dll, if they need libXpm with X support.
b) continue as is, and instruct the dxsamples people to recompile so
that they use the cygwin-xfree dll (if they need X support) or to
recompile so that they use cygXpm-noX4.dll (if they do not need X support).
I will defer to your judgement on this, Suhaib. Which do you prefer?
