Please change package emacs-x11 so that it declares its dependency on
package dbus-x11.
Details:
When doing a fresh install of Cygwin 64bit, I selected xlaunch,
"emacs-x11" and a few other packages and let the dependency
satisfaction mechanism do its thing.
This resulted in a working X Server
I would say that it didn't result in a working X server in view of the
error message, "D-Bus library appears to be incorrectly set up".
The documentation on the Cygwin/X home page (http://x.cygwin.com/) says
that you should install the xinit package in order to use the Cygwin X
server. And xinit depends on dbus-x11. But not everyone reads the
documentation before installing, so maybe xlaunch should require xinit.
Jon? Yaakov?
Hmm... not sure about this.
On the one hand, this is really a defect with xlaunch, which doesn't know enough
to do all the things which xinit does (like starting a dbus session bus
instance)
On the other hand, just making xlaunch depend on dbus-x11 would solve this
problem.
Yes, that would suffice for this particular problem. I was just thinking that
someone who installs xlaunch probably assumes that they'll get whatever they
need for using Cygwin/X. Since the user's guide
(http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ug/setup.html#setup-cygwin-x-installing) describes
xinit as required and xlaunch as optional, having xlaunch require xinit seems
reasonable to me.
