Re: Installing cygwin/xfree : it works ! ( almost )

Hello Suhaib,

 

Thanks for your comments. I begin to understand where my problems come from. I am really confusing about distributions of Cygwin and Xfree.

 

My first test of Cygwin on April has been done with a full.exe file which installed CygwinB20, but many things were missing. When I decided to re-install a full up to date Cygwin on June 27, I could not find a full.exe file or a cygwinB20 directory on the ftp site. Where is cygwinB20 now ? I used the setup.exe from the latest directory but it installed Cygwin1.1.2 ( I have checked it with uname). I was thinking that cygwinB20 had been included in the latest release and that's why I downloaded the X11R6.3 and X11R6.4 tar files with names including the "cygwinb20" string.

 

So my question is : is there a full X11 distrib for cygwin1.1.2 or what should I download to have compatible Cygwin and X11 distributions ?

 

Best regards,
