Harold,
Your work on the clipboard with xdmcp capability is greatly appreciated.
From my minimal testing it works great.
Now that the startup batch script can be simplified to a one liner, I want to directly invoke "Xwin -query" from my desktop without first launching a bash console.
ie. I currently launch a bash script, then run my batch script. It would be nice to instead just double click an icon on my desktop.
I have setup a shortcut to XWin.exe on my desktop, but it is not working.
Currently I am getting an error about a missing DLL. Unfortunately I need dlls from both /cygwin/bin and /cygwin/usr/X11R6/bin, so just changing the startup directory is not quite enough.
Is there a recommended way to get this to work?
ie. Adding a shortcut (or a cygwin hardlink) to the cygcygipc-2.dll in X11R6/bin
Thanks Again Greg
Greg,
Just add both c:/cygwin/bin and c:/cygwin/usr/X11R6/bin to the end of your Windows PATH variable. Igor
Thanks Igor,
It worked great, and Harold this just seems cleaner than the approach you gave. This way the windows shortcut is pointing directly at XWin.exe and there is no excess overhead associated with starting a bash shell up.
If anyone cares, the PATH variable for Win2K is set by right clicking 'my computer'
properties
advanced tab
environment variables
system variables
