470 ** Cygwin
471 *** In general use etc/check_cygwin_setup.sh to trap environment problems.
472
473 The script etc/check_cygwin_setup.sh will attempt to detect whether
474 you have a suitable environment for building. This script may not work
475 correctly if you are using ash instead of bash (see below).
476
477 *** X11 not detected.
478
479 This is usually because xmkmf is not in your path or because you are
480 using the default cygwin shell. The default cygwin shell (/bin/sh.exe)
481 is ash which appears to work in most circumstances but has some wierd
482 failure modes. I recommend replacing sh.exe with bash.exe, this will
483 mean configure is slower but more reliable.
484
485 *** Subprocesses do not work.
486
487 You do not have "tty" in your CYGWIN32 (for b19) or CYGWIN (for b20)
488 environment variable. This must be set in your autoexec.bat (win95) or
489 the system properties (winnt) as it must be read before the cygwin dll
490 initializes.
491
492 *** ^G does not work on hung subprocesses.
493
494 This is a known problem. It can be remedied with cygwin b20 or greater
495 by defining BROKEN_SIGIO in src/s/cygwin32.h, however this currently
496 leads to instability in XEmacs.
497
498 *** The XEmacs executable crashes at startup.
499
500 This can be caused by many things.
501
502 If you are running with X11 you need to have cygwin b19 or cygwin
503 b20.1 or greater, cygwin b20 will not work.
504
505 If you are running with cygwin b19 make sure you are using egcs 1.0.2
506 rather than vanilla gcc. XEmacs builds by default with -O3 which does
507 not work with the gcc that ships with b19. Alternatively use -O2.
508
509 *** The info files will not build.
510
511 makeinfo that ships with cygwin (all versions) is a noop. You need to
512 obtain makeinfo from somewhere or build it yourself.
513
514 *** I have no graphics.
515
516 You need to obtain the various graphics libraries. Pre-built versions
517 of these and the X libraries are located on the XEmacs website in
518 ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/aux/cygwin*.
519
520 *** There are no images in the toolbar buttons.
521
522 You need version 4.71 of commctrl.dll which does not ship with windows
523 95. You can get this by installing IE 4.0 or downloading it from the
524 microsoft website.
