Hello,
I ran fvwm2's configure on the latest net release of cygwin and I got a
message in a windows dialog box saying that the file libXpm.dll could not
be found in the specified path. For some reason it looks like the cygwin
team decided to place many dll files including libXpm.dll under
/usr/X11R6/bin or cygpath -w /usr/X11R6/bin to be precise.
Perhaps this decision was made because the windows Path
variable is used to point to both dll files and executables.
I resolved the problem by doing the following before running
the configure script:
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/X11R6/bin
IMHO either fvwm2's configure should look in that place for the
file or cygwin should come with a preconfigured PATH variable including
thedirectory /usr/X11R6/bin as xpm is part of the cygwin package.
No other errors were encountered when installing fvwm2!
Thanks!
Neil
