XEmacs 21.4.5 pretest #1

The first pretest for XEmacs 21.4.5 is now available. Check it out from CVS with "-r r21-4-5-rc1". The big fixes are Ben's patches for "gc in windows proc", "setitimer", and shell crashes on Windows. I'm especially interested in reports from people who had the following problems. On Windows platforms: 1. "gc in windows procedure" crashes. 2. Failure to detect the "no-X11" version of XPM on Cygwin. 3. `mouse-track' problems. 4. Null quoting in subprocess arguments. (Ben's big patch as usual included some random stuff, I don't know how much of those problems it fixes.) On Unix: 5. Arch-specific binaries failing to install under ${exec_prefix}. This is _not_ a release candidate as it stands. There are several patches I am waiting for advice on, and a couple dozen in total still in the queue that I want to review again. I hope to post a release candidate on Saturday my time, with a probable release early next week. This code base builds and at least puts up a splash screen on Debian `sid' Linux 2.2.18, Japanese Windows ME (Cygwin), and Japanese Windows ME (native) so far. The Cygwin build produced the following warnings I've not seen before: In file included from /usr/include/w32api/windef.h:145, from /usr/include/w32api/windows.h:98, from syswindows.h:58, from nt.h:29, from ntplay.c:25: /usr/include/w32api/winnt.h:2503: warning: no previous prototype for `GetCurrentFiber' /usr/include/w32api/winnt.h:2514: warning: no previous prototype for `GetFiberData' In file included from ntplay.c:25: nt.h:108: warning: `struct utimbuf' declared inside parameter list nt.h:108: warning: its scope is only this definition or declaration, which is probably not what you want. ./temacs -nd -batch -l /cygdrive/c/src/xemacs-21.4/src/../lisp/update-elc.el 0 [main] TEMACS 1727629 fhandler_console::fixup_after_exec: error opening console after exec, errno 13, Win32 error 0 Any ideas?
