Re: Problems with xwinclip version 0.5/0.6
Hi! o xwinclip-Test06: The first difference I see when using the latest version of xwinclip is the marked regions in X windows stay marked after releasing the left mouse button !! I have installed the xwinclip-Test06, but the selection not only dissapears, after I release the mouse button, but it flashes continously, and I can't paste the selection either under X, nor in windows. Has anybody any ideea, why is this so? Thanks, Jozsef Kercso

Hi! In my previous mail I don't said, that I found this behaviour of xwinclip only under Solaris using the CDE desktop. Best Regards Jozsef Kercso

Has anybody any ideea, why is this so? The second problem may be related to the first, given the flashing continuously. It seems like the application you are using remotely tries to capture the x primary selection as well. This release of xwinclip claims the x selection as soon as a selection has been made. The other application may be doing the same, hence the continuous flashing. You can try using the version I uploaded to the list. It needs to be compiled though, and if you have the latest version of cygwin it probably won't work. I should be able to release a new version of the xwinclip to the mailing list tonight which should work with the latest version, I hope. Regards, Chris _ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.

Maybe I and the others have an older/newer version.
So, the fundamental problem is that gcc-3.2 does name mangling in a
different way than gcc-2.95. In xwinclip.c you have code which
references SetHook__Fv and RemHook__Fv. Under gcc-2.95, SetHook
gets mangled to _SetHook__Fv and so it is found properly. Under
gcc-3.2, SetHook gets mangled to __Z7SetHookv, so it isn't found.
This is the fundamental problem with mixing C++ and C code together.
I've attached a patch to take care of the problem.

Hi, I can send you them directly later (I'm at work now) but.. You say it dies after the messages are displayed, do you mean that xwinclip then terminates? Or do you mean it doesn't seem to do much? Also I'm still a little confused as to why you needed to change the build dll script anyway, what release of cygwin are you using? Maybe I and the others have an older/newer version.

Re: Problems with xwinclip version 0.5/0.6
Hi Volker, I notice you had a mingw error. Could you please try using the gcc provided with cygwin, as I believe myself and others use. It should remove most of the problems you're seeing as neither myself nor others seem to have them. As to the output, that's correct it's debug information to let me know what is going on message wise through the system. The ioctl statement is due to the cygwin code for the windows device explicitly mentioning setting the hwnd it listens to (or listens to all). Which doesn't really hurt anything in the code you have. After that message it should also display information in the xwinclip window about what windows and X messages are being processed involving the clipboards, again just debug information. Thank you for trying to use the code though. Chris _ Unlimited Internet access for only $21.95/month. Try MSN! http://resourcecenter.msn.com/access/plans/2monthsfree.asp

Problems with xwinclip version 0.5/0.6
Hi I have some problems with the different versions of xwinclip. o xwinclip-Test05: Marking and pasting works in both directions from Windows to X and vice versa. But when marking in an X window the marked area disapppears as soon as I release the left mouse button, but at least it's copied to the clipboard. Now my problem: In the cygwin X-version of XEmacs 21.4 (patch 6) I do not get active regions anymore because of this feature. So all the region commands do not work anymore rendering Xemacs almost useless. When killing xwinclip the active regions work again but of course now I can only copy between X windows. o xwinclip-Test06: The first difference I see when using the latest version of xwinclip is the marked regions in X windows stay marked after releasing the left mouse button !! So this fixes the xemacs active region behaviour. But now xwinclip works only in one direction and it also depends from where you start marking regions. This is what I found: When I start marking regions in a Windows window (Ww) I can paste it in an X window (Xw). But as soon as I mark a region in an Xw the clipboard contents which gets pasted in the Ww is the last text I marked in the Ww. It looks like from that point on there are now two independent clipboards one for Windows and on for Xfree. Any hints or at least can somebody confirm my findings ? Ciao Volker By the way the new rootless mode works great. I'm using the latest 4.2.0-15
