X11Iraf v 1.32 and Cygwin
Andrew Farrow wrote on Feb 17, 2009
Running up against a wall here almost....
first off I have the working copy of xgterm.cygwin available so I can still use iraf. so I'm not S.O.L.
My boss asked me to get x11iraf(mainly ximtool) to run under cygwin, and as I try again and again, it's not working.
I picked out the last stable release of X11iraf from the ftp server
(http://iraf.net/ftp/iraf/x11iraf/v1.3.2/x11iraf-v1.3.2-bin.macintel.tar.gz) and followed the README.install, ran ./install and it placed all of the items in the right place. I ran chmod 777 (yea a little lazy) on the ximtool, xgterm, etc so I could run it as any user on the computer.
When I try to run ximtool or xgterm after the install, I get this message: (3628 is the pid)
$ ximtool
/usr/local/bin/ximtool: /usr/local/bin/ximtool: cannot execute binary file
$ xgterm&
[1] 3628
$ /usr/local/bin/xgterm: /usr/local/bin/xgterm: cannot execute binary file
[1]+ Exit 126 xgterm
Is ximtool not setup to run under cygwin? If not, will it ever be?

Well I just answered my own question, Just read through the documentation (NOTES-V2.0 and NOTES-V1.3) and saw that Cygwin is not yet supported. I'll be keeping my eye out for the 2.0 release that has support for cygwin.

Andrew,
I just posted a binary distribution for Cygwin, see the link on the main page to get it. There are still some problems to be cleaned up in getting the package to build from a common source (particularly for xgterm), but the ximtool binary in this release appears to work fine. Things will all be normalized in the final version, until then let me know if you find problems.
Cheers,
-Mike

I think I'll add an issue I'm hitting right now.
I have the distrib and installed it using the ./install script with a minor mod so it would install even though I'm not root (I'm the sysadmin and I just don't another admin account on the machine).
xgterm: works fine in that I can Use IRAF and run it's items well
xtapemon: Works.
vximtool: receive the following and hangs xgterm, Ctl^C brings it out of hang.
ximtool: I receive the following, and Exit 1
Could it be that I need to again update the X11 Libaries?
{edit = Bad grammar}

The fifo pipes aren't necessary for display and I missed the case for Cygwin that tells the code to ignore them (fixed for next release). For the moment you can just use
vximtool -unix_onlyto avoid this, but note that VXIMTOOL is generally only used by developers. XImtool should complain but keep running.
As for the X error: This v2.0 version supports 24-bit displays but is a little weak in 8-bit support ironically. Be sure you aren't using just 256 colors for the main display.

I'm Running this over Remote Desktop Connection right now, and I'm being limited to 16-bit. I also just updated the x11 packages in Cygwin... holy shi....
I am not happy...
I think I have to reinstall IRAF now x.x That or a system restore.
I'll get back to you on the issue.

16-bit support is also not quite done yet.
Note that unless your expletive was for some other reason, you do NOT need to reinstall IRAF because of any problems in X11IRAF, they are entirely separate systems. Anyway, good luck on whatever the problem is.

It was for two reasons, one, the scripts I made broke and it doesn't recognize cl, or ecl from the home directory where the login.cl is.I'll be cleaning up the mess.

What happened was the fact X11 moved from /usr/X11R6 to /usr/bin. this cause confusion in the shells... As well as the new version auto At least I can use ds9 with an xterm...
Now with iraf reset back to normal (almost).
I reinstalled xgterm, and no luck....
it gives me:
[code]
xgterm
xgterm: unable to find termcap entry.
[code]
This is the same for new and old versions of xgterm.

This time I'm actually happy, I have ximtool running well. just had to use a different remote admin software that wouldn't limit me to 16 bit.
I am getting some warnings and Errors now.
#1 not sure what's up here.
#2
Load file issue.
When I'm in root trying to get to the drive that has my images, clicking the folders results in an extra "/" on the front of the directory string which in turn keeps the system from finding the right folder.
What It looks for when I double click from the root folder
What it should be
I can type in

After pressing the V and H buttons, only once each.
For the V, ximtool kept running.
for the H, ximtool stopped after the undepressing of the button

Well, I just went do a different mirror site than the one I've been using to download cygwin and re-downloaded the entire X11 tree - and xgterm now works! I'm not sure why but when going to the different mirror site there WAS new stuff to download - whereas the other site didn't actually download or install anything. That is, after wrestling with this for a couple of days I decided to just try re-ownloading and installing so went to the same site I'd always gone to and the process went almost instantaneously to the dialog asking if I wanted icons on my desktop and/or start menu. So I decided on a whim to try the next mirror site up and this time it took about three minutes or so to download and install.
The mirror site that worked was:
ftp.fedoramd.org
the one that I'd used previously was
ftp.repo.fedoramd.org.
Being essentially ignorant of how all of that works I really don't know why there was a difference.
