hi,
I want to create a Win64 package of Nedit and Xnedit [1], with the
minimum set of file dependencies, to be distributed on systems that does
not have Cygwin installed (mainly for users that do not know well *ix)
Both applications depend on same libraries, but the second one has
Unicode support. Both applications depend on Motif as Toolkit.
Nedit work in Cygwin as expected as is a Cygwin package.
I can successfully build Xnedit (with a little patch) in Cygwin and work
very well inside Cygwin.
Using ldd I can successfully create a CMD sandbox package of Nedit that
do not complaint for missing DLL dependencies.
The same for Xnedit, I can generate the same package.
To both I added:
.\fonts.conf
.\xkeysymdb
.\sh.exe (and its deps)
and created a script that define a minimum of env variables:
PATH=.
HOME=.
FONTCONFIG_PATH=.
XDG_DATA_HOME=.
XDG_CONFIG_HOME=.
XKEYSYMDB=.\xkeysymdb
DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
NEDIT_HOME=.
Running Nedit in the CMD sandbox I got this error:
X Error: BadAlloc
Request Major code 53 ()
Error Serial #2732
Current Serial #2752
while running Xnedit I got this error:
Cannot open default font
with Xnedit is XftFontOpenName() that fail, see text.c in line 824
I also copied fonts files in:
.\usr\share\fonts\dejavu
(where is pointing fonts.conf)
but the errors are the same.
Then I created a .Xresources file with:
nedit*faceName: Monospace
OR
nedit*faceName: DejaVuSansMono
and load it with:
$ xrdb -merge .Xresources
than check is loaded with:
$ xrdb -q
Same errors.
I saw that fc-match in Cygwin results in:
$ fc-match mono
DejaVuSansMono.ttf: "DejaVu Sans Mono" "Book"
while in the CMD sandbox show no output.
There must still be some fontconfig configuration files that I forgot.
I would be very grateful to someone who knows how fontconfig works to
support me in creating these packages.
I looked in FAQ and Documentation but I do not found nothing specific.
Where can I find documentation on deploy a Cygwin build application and
package that with all its the dependencies?
