[21.0b62] mouse copy and paste on NT4.0 25 years, 7 months

Roger Wimmer

Hi I have built Xemacs 21.0b62 on NT 4.0. All works fine except the mouse binding. I can highlight a region with the left button of the mouse. But if i try to paste the selection with the middle button, nothing appears in the buffer. But I have the following error message in the minibuffer: "Kill ring is empty" When I use C-Insert after highlighting the region, paste with the middle button works fine. How can I change that the highlighted region is in the kill ring? Roger -- Lieber wenige Programme die laufen als viele die abstuerzen! (Ein gluecklicher SUN-user ;-) Aber zuhause hat man ja Zeit zum Basteln.

[21.1.2] Problems running dumped xemacs on hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20 25 years, 7 months

Justin Vallon

I'm trying to build 21.1.2 on HP using HP's cc. xemacs gets dumped. However, when src/xemacs is first run (as part of lisp shadows), it hangs, and can't be interrupted, killed, or kill -9'ed. If I run it from gdb (gdb ./xemacs CR run), it works. If I use dde: (Warning) Object file "/var/tmp/vallon/public/xemacs-21.1/xemacs-21.1.2/src/xemacs" has no debug information. Limited debugging will be available. (Warning) end.o has not been linked in. Cannot read from virtual address 7B0394DC of process 0. ...and the debugger is left in an unloaded state. xdb is able to load the executable, and it starts in main (no source code, though due to -O), but "cont" hangs. Neither gdb nor dde are able to attach to the hung xemacs. I found some 21.0 build successes for HPUX 10.20. Are there any later successes? Is the "Should XEmacs use the GNU version of malloc?" ok to be yes, if using the native compiler? Anything else to try? I guess I can try downgrading until it works. Here's Installation: uname -a: HP-UX pearl B.10.20 A 9000/778 2014301313 two-user license ./configure '--compiler' 'cc' '--cflags=-O +Onolimit' '--with-gnu-make' XEmacs 21.1-p2 "20 Minutes to Nikko" configured for `hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20'.

Hi, it's possible, I've missed something here, but after applying these changes, I'm no longer able to build XEmacs 21.2 native on NT due to some unresolved symbols: [...] select-msw.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _get_local_selection select-msw.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _QSTRING emacs.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _vars_of_select emacs.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _syms_of_select ..\nt\temacs.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 4 unresolved externals NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'link.exe' : return code '0x460' Stop. I've tried to remove the xselect parts of my makefile, since a makedepend doesn't work, but to no avail. Any leads? TIA, norbert.

Re: [PATCH] 21.1.2: fix "file has changed on disk" problem on Linux 25 years, 7 months

Isn't this a general nfs problem anyway? However, I am getiing a deja vu feeling here. Either we already discussed his a while ago but the change was never made _or_ the behaviour was intentionally changed to be this way.

Re: [Wolfram Gloger <wmglo@dent.med.uni-muenchen.de>] more on the emacs-20.3 segfault 25 years, 7 months

The Doug Lea or "new GNU malloc" is the system malloc when using glibc or Linux libc5; it has not been cloned into the XEmacs core. The so-called "new GNU malloc" in XEmacs is really the old GNU malloc, and the "old GNU malloc" in XEmacs is really the very-old GNU malloc. >> Nevertheless the patch looks fine (I'm just running a mule-enabled >> XEmacs 21.0p2 with it) and should work with glibc 2.0 and 2.1 (I only >> tested with glibc 2.1.1). >> From glancing at the patch in its current incarnation, > it seems awfully glibc specific to me.

All Doug Lea malloc related stuff is guarded by ifdefs and are only enabled if configure detects the presence of it. It should be absolutely safe to apply the patch and it is better than voodoo_free_hook. -- I protest the NATO war in Yugoslavia.

Looking at Wolfram's > analysis of the situation, XEmacs should segfault the same way as > FSF-Emacs does --- but AFAIK it doesn't. It did, but I worked around it, I believe. Check out voodoo_free_hook in emacs.c ... Also, look through your old glibc email archives.

I no longer have access to the machine where XEmacs crashed 100% of the time at exit due to a double free, but hopefully I can duplicate it on a different machine and verify that this fixes the problem without voodoo_free_hook and turning off free at exit(3) time. -- I protest the NATO war in Yugoslavia.
