Re: Pre-compiled X11R6.3 libraries available

[Scott dot Mintz at po dot cle dot ab dot com (Scott Mintz)]

     Is it possible to compile GDB with the --enable-gdbtk option if these 
     libraries are available?  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?

Folks,
     
    Following Sergey Okhapkin's patches I compiled the X11R6.3 libraries with 
Cygnus GNU Win32 beta17.1 and I am making them available on my ftp server. 
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@prospect.com.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).
