I built an older version of FreeCiv in Cygwin, this way:

./configure --enable-client=xaw --disable-nls --with-readline
make

I did not run 'make install', so I started the server and client from the source directory.

I start the server with

Code: Select all

./ser

and it prints

Code: Select all

This is the server for Freeciv version 2.2.7

waiting at the prompt. Which seems fine.

However, in another terminal, I start the client with

Code: Select all

./civ

but it quits with a message about fonts

Code: Select all

Unable to find client executable: freeciv.exe

I tried 'xset ...', specified in the last message, but that didn't change anything.

What could be wrong?

I am running the Cygwin/X X server on Windows 10, and in the Cygwin terminal the DISPLAY variable is set as follows

Code: Select all

$ echo $DISPLAY
:0.0

My locale settings is

Code: Select all

$ locale
