Funny, I still get the --enable-auto-import problem with ./configure
--disable-win16 with the latest CVS.
I've even tried ./configure --disable-win16 --with-x=no to make sure it
wasn't X that was producing the problem
I did a make clean and make distclean before updating CVS and running
configure and make so I can't
see why a patch that fixes it for you doesn't fix it for me...
I'm using the latest cygwin gcc 3.2 (20020818) so maybe this is the
problem? Are you using gcc 2.96 still?
I'm just trying compiling under mingw to see if I get any different
results...
By the way the reason for gdi and x11drv is an idea that came up on the
cygwin-xfree86 mailing list that
led to a project called XOpenWin (http://sources.redhat.com/XOpenWin)
Basically it's still very investigative but the idea is that if we could
port the Wine x11drv to cygwin,
we could make standard Windows GDI applications run in X Windows under
cygwin. This leads to a whole
lot of very interesting possibilities...
I've got all the source for x11drv compiling under cygwin, but linking
is a problem.
However in order to get it to actually work it would probably mean
extracting a lot of the wine stuff out
(for that reason the code in the XOpenWin CVS doesn't compile at all as
it's heading in that direction)
I'm sure this project would be interesting both to ReactOS and to other
people in the wine-dev mailing list so that's
why I mention it here (I was waiting until we got stuff compiling)...
Thanks for the help...
David
