(Add'l info) Build problem and problem with region in 21.5 under Cygwin.

Date: Mon, 12 May 2003 09:55:23 -0700 (PDT) From: Rick Rankin <rick_rankin(a)yahoo.com&gt; Subject: Build problem and problem with region in 21.5 under Cygwin. To: XEmacs Beta <xemacs-beta(a)xemacs.org&gt;, XEmacs NT <xemacs-nt(a)xemacs.org&gt; I just made my first pass at building 21.5 on Cygwin. So far, I've found a (minor) problem with the build and a runtime problem that I haven't been able to figure out. The build problem was fairly simple. There was a conflict between some typedefs in src/lisp.h and /usr/include/cygwin/types.h. The conflicting lines are typedef int intptr_t; typedef unsigned int uintptr_t; at around line 803 in src/lisp.h. These are typedef'd differently in /usr/include/cygwin/types.h: typedef long intptr_t; typedef unsigned long uintptr_t; I got around the problem by surrounding the conflicting typedefs in src/lisp.h with #if !defined(__CYGWIN__) ... #endif I don't know if that's the "correct" solution, but it allows the build to proceed without error. The runtime problem is a bit more perplexing to me, being more-or-less lisp illiterate. *Any* time I try to set the mark, whether it's with C-＠ or M-x set-mark-command or highlighting text with the mouse, I get the message Symbol's value as variable is void: region Needless to say, this makes it impossible to do any cut-n-paste operations. Does anyone have any ideas for what I should look at? I haven't had much success searching the email archives so far. System info from the bug report form is included below.
