That is normal behavior. C:/cygwin/bin must be in the PATH environment
variable when XWin.exe is run.
The proper way to do this is to use C:/cygwin/usr/X11R6/bin/
startxwin.bat

If you are missing that file, you need to install the package "X-
startup-scripts".

Thanks, everyone. I'll work on it.

I got access to a Vista machine today. Just follow the tutorial with
the following Cygwin install exceptions:

Step 1:

1. When prompted for "package directory", change the default c:
\windows\system32 to c:\whatever, not really necessary, but lets keep
things clean.
2. When prompted for compatibility, select "this program installed
correctly"

Step 2:

Ignore the setup startx and xterm icon creation. For Vista (or any
Windows) just use the "Start X-Server" icon on the desktop to "startx"
and for an xterm use Start Menu/All Programs/Cygwin-X/xterm.

I just did all of this and it works just fine. I also tested HPAPINE
under Vista, no problems.

I'll have the tutorial updated soon (I have many other updates as
well).

i'm quite unhappy with the " All ==> Install " option for cygwin,
because it installs 950MB of packages which i'll never use.

could you please give a list of needed cygwin packages in order to run
cygwin, X and hpgccapine successfully.

thanks,

I'll document the exact steps for the next update (sometime next
month). For now you just need gcc, X11, and GTK. With some effort
GTK can be dropped.
