No X11R6 directory in Cygwin


I am trying to install XFig on my Windows-7 machine using the this popular blog. In doing so, the steps required me to install Cygwin which I did and I included the X11 package.

The blog then suggests to include C:\Cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin into my PATH variable but I do not find any such directory in my Cygwin directory. Can someone suggest what am I missing?


Solution

  • C:\Cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin or better /usr/X11R6/bin is obsolete. By long time has been replaced by /usr/bin

    Please note that xfig is already available as cygwin package. https://cygwin.com/packages/x86_64/xfig/

    Just use setup to install it.
