Dear all, 

Concerning my x-related problem, I dig a bit in the x-stuffs, and what I see is the following:
-> Obviously, what doesn't work is the XOpenDisplay function. I do not have the source of 
the program I am using, but it appears that this function is the one that is causing the problem.
I tried to compile and run a dummy example found on the internet using this function and drawing 
a simple box in a window : it's working. So my problem does not seem to be related to the cygwin/X
environment that is installed on my machine.
-> I am wondering if my problem could be caused by: 
- a 32/64bit incompatibility (but as I said before, the program -32b- was working on my 
previous cygwin/X 64b installation, such that I doubt that it is where my problem arise).
- Or if it is a problem of X-library that moved from one directory to another after the upgrade 
of cygwin/X : indeed, the test example that I tried was proposed to be compiled with libraries 
located in /usr/X11R6/lib, whereas the libraries in Cygwin/X are located in /usr/lib/include (And 
I gave this path to the compiler in order to properly compile and run the test example). I was 
wondering if the program that I am using (and for which I have not the sources) have been 
compiled with something like -L/usr/X11R6/lib could still work in a cygwin environment where 
X11 libraries are located in /usr/lib/include. If it is the case, how to make it work ?

Best regards,
xflr6
