These packages are the successors to the old xpm-nox package (which now contains only the old DLL, for compatibility purposes). See the related announcement Updated: xpm-nox-4.2.0-6 Changes (from xpm-nox-4.2.0-5) -------------------- o rename the entire project from 'xpm-nox' to 'libXpm-noX' o switch to cygport build framework + Note: 'cygport libXpm-noX-3.5.6 get' requires git, which is not part of the official cygwin distribution. However, a regular build (prep, build, install, pkg) will work fine without git. o split into three packages: DLL, devel, apps & docs o update to latest version of the library from the modular x.org repository What is "libXpm-noX-3.5.6"? I thought the most recent xpm was 3.4k. Or, your last several releases of xpm-nox have had version numbers like 4.2.0 or 4.3.0. Where'd you get 3.5.6? In the 'modularization' work undertaken by the x.org team, all X libraries (including xpm) were modified so that they would build using traditional GNU build tools: autoconf, automake, libtool. This effort was finalized with the release of X11R7.0 in December 2005. However, each individual library has its own (new) version number -- because the idea is that modular libraries may be released on a rolling schedule, and not all-at-once like the monolithic (pre-7.0) X11. So, the most recent version of libXpm from the x.org modular tree is 3.5.6. Clear? This is also the reason I renamed the entire package set from "xpm-nox" to "libXpm-noX" -- I figured it would inevitably lead to problems if I tried to force setup.exe to always replace 4.whatever with the "newer" 3.whatever. -- Charles Wilson libXpm-noX volunteer maintainer for cygwin ==================================================================== To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page.
