Hi,
I just installed a cygwin/x environment on a mahcine with XP running.
Everything seems to be okay. The X server starts smoothly and I can
run some programs such as xeyes, xemacs or display.
However some others such as xterm, xclock, xload fail without any
error message.
For example:
xterm
echo $?
53
The TERM variable is set to cygwin and DISPLAY to localhost:0.0
Does anybody get what's going on ?
# net helpmsg 53
The network path was not found.
This means one of the DLLs the failing application needs can't be found.
'cygcheck xterm' will give you a list of DLLs required and complain about
those that are missing. Make sure the packages with the missing DLLs are
are installed. Repeat for other apps.
