building issue

[J. Offerman]

I'm trying to build the server. At the end, I see XWin.exe is created
but it doesn't seem right. I see one error in the build log.

So, I see it links every .o file with *.la files to create ./XWin.exe
and then it links every *.o files with a bunch of *.a files to create
.libs/XWin.exe and then ... what should happen next?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Not quite right, I think.

./XWin.exe is a small wrapper generated by libtool which executes
.libs/XWin.exe (I believe for doing special things if needed to find libtool
libraries which are not yet installed)

I've seen this on some occasions, I've never quite got around to trying to
work out why it happens.

afaik, since this wrapper isn't doing anything useful for you in this
particular case, you can invoke .libs/XWin.exe directly and it should just work.

Moving on, now it seems okay to start .libs/XWin.exe but it doesn't
"look" okay literally. Turns out, fonts are gone. Xlsfonts reports
only six.

logname@host> xlsfonts
-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--0-0-75-75-c-0-iso8859-1
-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-100-100-100-c-60-iso8859-1
-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso8859-1
6x13
cursor
fixed

I tried reinstalling all the fonts(such as font-adobe-dpi75 and
font-bh-dpi100) and now /usr/share/fonts has lots of dirs(dpi75,
dpi100, misc, Type1 and others)  and hundreds of .gz files underneath.

How should I proceed from here?
Thanks.

These are the 'builtin' fonts.

Read the X server log file.  I would guess that it will show that the X
server is unable to load any fonts, for one of the following reasons:

1) You've built an X server with a dynamically linked libXfont, which
doesn't work correctly for reasons discussed at [1], so the X server is
unable to load any fonts.

2) You've built an X server configured to find fonts from somewhere
other than /usr/share/fonts.  Add --with-fontdir=/usr/share/fonts  to
your ./configure invocation and rebuild.

I think I've finally found out why these "Permission denied" errors occur.

It seems to be caused by the XWin.exe.manifest file we store in the same
directory (it's not shipped as it's embedded into the final executable using
the resource compiler)

Presumably the manifest is incompatible with the libtool wrapper executable in
some way and we get this unhelpful error message.

If you remove the manifest file, the libtool wrapper executes without problems.

Since the name of the manifest file is not significant when it is compiled
using the resource compiler, perhaps we should rename it to avoid this
problem, or keep it in a subdirectory.

Please try setting the execute bit (chmod +x) on the manifest file.

You are absolutely right, setting the execute bit on the manifest file fixes this.

Thanks!
