Re: PLEASE TEST XEmacs 21.4.9 "Informed Management" Release Candidate 1
I finally had a chance to track this problem down. It turns out that the
definition for LOCALE_RETURN_NUMBER is missing from winnls.h in the
Cygwin/MinGW w32api package. I've submitted a patch to mingw-patches that will
hopefully be accepted.
Stephen, I noticed your patch to src/syswindows.h from a couple of days to
correct this problem. I don't believe that this is the best solution because of
what I discovered above, but should probably be left in place until the problem
in winnls.h gets resolved.
I now have a functional 21.4.9 build for Cygwin, but I haven't spent much time
with it yet. I do know that it still exhibits the "freeze" problem when
switching virtual desktops that was discussed a few weeks ago, but this is
expected. I simply have not had the chance to research that yet, and I have no
particular reason to believe that I'll find anything Adrian didn't, but who
knows. Sometimes a different pair of eyes...

I didn't have much time to look at it, but it's related to NLS support. For
LOCALE_RETURN_NUMBER to be #defined in winnls.h (included from windows.h),
WINVER has to be #defined to a value >= 0x0400, meaning you have to be
running
NT 4.0 or greater. I'm trying to compile on Windows 2000, so that's not an
issue.
I hope to have more time to look at it tomorrow. If anyone already knows the
answer though...
