[OK] 21.0 "Repartida" XEmacs on Windows 95/Cygwin32
I apologize if this is a duplicate, but our mail system was not working
well yesterday, and I have not seen my post come back.
The build of b38 patched up from b37 on a Cygwin/Windows 95 system went
without any problems using the simple configuration below. Toolbars
ar now working with the new version of comctl32.dll. Thanks to Andy Piper
for pointing that out.
I have seen some strange behavior that I have not seen mentioned anywhere:
1. If I highlight something using the mouse and then popup the XEmacs Command
menu with buttoin three the Cut and Copy menu entries are greyed out.
Cut and Copy does work from the toolbar. IF I copy something using the
toolbar, the Paste entry is stipp greyed out in the XEmacs Command menu.
2. The scroll bar slider does not move down. If I move down in the buffer
and then touch the slider with button 1, the buffer moves back to the
top.
3. If I modify a buffer and then select Exit from the File menu, I get a
message in the minibuffer:
Symbol's function definition is void: popup-dialog-box
4. Maybe this is a feature since I am comparing against 20.3 on Solaris, but
with HOME defined and a .emacs in that directory I get a new entry on the
menu bar "Load .emacs". If I select it it disappears, but it does
reappear on occasion if I visit a file and tehen delete the buffer.
So far I have not been able to narrow this one down further.
One other comment could be added for Cygwin users - the installation process
uses /bin/pwd. If /bin is a separate directory and not a link to the
Cygwin bin directory, then wd should be copied into /bin.
