These XEmacsen have the highly desirable property of avoiding the dreaded "File not found and directory write-protected" error. If it's OK with you, Benson and Stephen, I will generate a superseding patch and send it to xemacs-patches. VC6 + SDK is another story. After regenerating unicode-encapsulate, here are the errors I'm getting: intl-encap-win32.c E:\cygwin\usr\local\src\xemacs-21.5-2006-12-07\src\intl-encap-win32.c(1295) : error C2664: 'EnumResourceTypesW' : cannot convert parameter 2 from 'int (__stdcall *)(struct HINSTANCE__ *,char *,long)' to 'int (__stdcall *)(struct HINSTANCE__ *,unsigned short *,long)' This conversion requires a reinterpret_cast, a C-style cast or function-style cast E:\cygwin\usr\local\src\xemacs-21.5-2006-12-07\src\intl-encap-win32.c(1304) : error C2664: 'EnumResourceNamesW' : cannot convert parameter 3 from 'int (__stdcall *)(struct HINSTANCE__ *,const char *,char *,long)' to 'int (__stdcall *)(struct HINSTANCE__ *,const unsigned short *,unsigned short *,long)' This conversion requires a reinterpret_cast, a C-style cast or function-style cast E:\cygwin\usr\local\src\xemacs-21.5-2006-12-07\src\intl-encap-win32.c(1313) : error C2664: 'EnumResourceLanguagesW' : cannot convert parameter 4 from 'int (__stdcall *)(struct HINSTANCE__ *,const char *,const char *,unsigned short,long)' to 'int (__stdcall *)(struct HINSTANCE__ *,const unsigned short *,const unsigned short *,unsigned short,long)' This conversion requires a reinterpret_cast, a C-style cast or function-style cast E:\cygwin\usr\local\src\xemacs-21.5-2006-12-07\src\intl-encap-win32.c(2135) : error C2664: 'ImmSetCompositionStringW' : cannot convert parameter 3 from 'const void *' to 'void *' Conversion loses qualifiers E:\cygwin\usr\local\src\xemacs-21.5-2006-12-07\src\intl-encap-win32.c(2137) : error C2664: 'ImmSetCompositionStringA' : cannot convert parameter 3 from 'const void *' to 'void *' Conversion loses qualifiers NMAKE: fatal error U1077: 'cl' : return code '0x2' Stop. Benson - as far as VC6+SDK goes, if there are avenues you want me to pursue, I will, but left to my own devices, I will probably not pursue this matter any further. Thanks for fixing this longstanding wart in XEmacs, Benson. - Vin -- The Journey by Mary Oliver http://www.poemhunter.com/p/m/poem.asp?poet=6771&poem=30506 _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
