Currently, go32 and cygwin32 are prevented from configuring/compiling GDBtk. I am not real sure, however I think GDBtk is GDB with an X-windows interface. Does anyone have any idea what is needed to get GDBtk to work under cygwin32? Anyone? Anyone? +------------------------------+------------------------------------+ | Scott A.

My main departure from Sergey's patch is to build libSM.a and libICE.a as static libraries rather than DLLs; I could not make it to work on my win95 lapttop otherwise. Building these libraries is relatively straightforward but it takes a l-o-n-g time. I am including below the README where you will find the URL and what is in the tar file. Enjoy! Arlindo. ............................................................................ GNU Win32 X11R6.3 Binary Libraries Last Update: April 10, 1997 This directory contains the X Windows Version 11 Release 6.3 compiled with the Cygnus GNU Win32 C compiler version Beta 17.1. This X11R6.3 port is based on the work of Sergey Okhapkin (sos AT prospect DOT com DOT ru), I just got Sergey's patch, hacked it a little and compiled the libraries. You must have Windows 95 or Windows NT to use this software. It will not run on Windows 3.x. For additional information, please consult: http://www.cygnus.com/gnu-win32/ Check also the mail arquives at: http://www.cygnus.com/ml/gnu-win32/ AVAILABILITY: The pre-compiled Win32 X11R6.3 libraries can be obtained from: ftp://niteroi.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/win32/X11R6.3/Win32_X11R6_3.tar.gz INSTALLATION: I recommend that you install these files on /usr/X11R6.3. So from the COMMAND.COM prompt: cd \ mkdir usr (if don't already have it) cd \usr (put the file "Win32_X11R6_3.tar.gz" in here) tar xvfz Win32_X11R6_3.tar.gz del Win32_X11R6_3.tar.gz (if all went well) I am assuming you have the GNU tool "tar" which comes with Cygnus Win32 compiler (notice that the gunzip is automaticatly performed by the GNU tar). See Cygnus URL above for details. If you use another version of tar, make sure you gunzip the file first and that your tar respects Windows 95/NT long file names; this is essential. (DJGPP's tarx will NOT work!!!) Next, add /usr/X11R6.3/bin to your path. That should do it. There are samples clients in examples/: tetris the classic game, uses only libX11.a (no toolkits) bezier bezier drawing program xmore file browser X SERVER: And of course, you will need X Windows server software. A freewave X server can be obtained from MicroImages: http://tnt.microimages.com/www/html/freestuf/mix.htm This server comes with twm. If you prefer fvwm, from COMMAND.COM enter startx and it will bring up the Xserver with fvwm. Take a look at the file /usr/X11R6.3/bin/startx.bat if this fails for some reason. I built fvwm from sources I had from xlibemu (DJGPP stuff), it does not come from MicroImages. MORE CLIENTS: There is a minimum set of clients with this distribution. For additional clients please take a look at: ftp://microlib.cc.utexas.edu/microlib/nt/x11r6 DIRECTORY STRUCTURE: /usr/X11R6.3/bin a few cliends, dynamic linked libraries (libX11.dll, etc.) /usr/X11R6.3/lib libraries (libX11.a, etc.) /usr/X11R6.3/include X11R6.3 header files /usr/X11R6.3/examples sample clients to test your installation MICROSOFT VISUAL C++ I heard that libraries created with the GNU Win32 compiler can be used with Microsft's Visual C++ provided you use their LINK.EXE instead of LD.EXE. Consult the Cygnus mail archives and FAQ for more information (see above).
