1. You sent this to the wrong address. For X11 questions you should use the cygwin-xfree <at> cygwin.com mailing list. 2. There is no need to compile anything to use the X server in Cygwin. Just install the binary packages. Run setup.exe and select the "xorg-x11-base" package, which in turn will select all the other necessary packages. This is all documented in the Cygwin/X Users Guide: <http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ug/setup-cygwin-x-installing.html>. 3. The particular package, xorg-x11-fonts, cannot be compiled because it consists of font files and nothing else. It is only one component of many that is required to use the X11 server.
