I have installed Cygwin and KDE 3.1.4 packages on Windows XP system. I followed the setup process explained
with the KDE 3.1.4 release. The steps are given here:
1. install required cygwin packages.
2. download the packages and unpack them into the cygwin root
3. rebase all dll's to avoid cygwin remap problem
<before running rebaseall make sure, that no cygwin process is running>
1. create file list
find /opt/qt/3.3 /opt/kde3.4 -name '*.dll' >/tmp/files.lst
2. close *ALL* cygwin processes
3. open a windows command shell (cmd.exe) from Start/Run and goto cygwin installation root
cd c:\cygwin
bin\ash bin/rebaseall -b 0x61000000 -v -T tmp/files.lst
4. start kde
1. display only kicker
(uses Xwin multiwindow mode)
at first create a simple startscript
cat >~/startkde
export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0
/usr/sbin/cygserver &
export CYGWIN=server
export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0
xwin -multiwindow -clipboard &
xhost +
export SHELL=/bin/bash
kdeinit +kicker &
[press ENTER, then CTRL-D]
chmod a+x ~/startkde
no you can start kde with
~/startkde &
stop kde - run
kdeinit_shutdown
then close the bash window
When I execute the startkde script, following output messages are generated.
Can someone explain the reason for the startkde failure and suggest steps to correctly
setup the KDE?. Thanks in advance.
