xfig packaging dependency

shouldn't the netpbm package be a necessary dependency for the xfig package, to prevent 'bad gif format' messages and much headscratching? $ Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion /bin/sh: giftopnm: command not found /bin/sh: ppmtopcx: command not found wasn't much of a clue t

cygwin Tcl oddity

$ tclsh % puts [expr 2+2] 4 % puts [expr 2.0+2.0] (hangs, should return 4.0) $ which tclsh /usr/bin/tclsh info tclversion returns 8.6, of course (8.6.8-1) Linux tclsh doesn't have this issue. This is on 32-bit cygwin; 64-bit cygwin seems a bit more robust, but if you keep asking it to sum

relationship between Cygwin and Redhat / Fedora packages?

What is the relationship between Cygwin packages and Red Hat rpms at this point? If something gets picked up for Cygwin, is it likely to make its way into e.g. Fedora, or vice versa? thanks Lloyd Wood http://savi.sf.net/ -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ:

Re: configure fails on checking ino_t

Ken, you're right; I'm so used to seeing those modules listed that I forgot that how they get there recently changed. (Well, recently in Geomview terms...) Separate modules from base Geomview now, xforms is no longer a dependency, which is good. So, the base Geomview is good to go into Cygwin w

configure fails on checking ino_t

download geomview 1.9.5 from http://www.geomview.org this used to build on cygwin 32-bit. Did so for a number of years. Now, it doesn't, because something changed. $ tar xvfz geomview-1.9.5.tar.gz $ cd geomview-1.9.5 ./configure [..] checking for dev_t... yes checking for ino_t... yes checking

two installer questions

1. setting up new cygwin X server, got stuff installed by selecting xinit in installer and letting it pull things in. (oddly, selecting xterm instead does not pull in everything as I expected.) But why is adwaita-icon-theme a necessary dependency for xinit? I'm not installing gnome... 2. I previo
