Hmm. Why is it compiling that .c function with C++ const rules? We can try adding a cast. I'll look at this tonight. -----Original Message----- From: ethersoft(a)gmail.com [mailto:ethersoft＠gmail.com] On Behalf Of Vin Shelton Sent: Wednesday, December 06, 2006 9:05 PM To: Benson Margulies Cc: Ben Wing; Stephen J.

As I mentioned, I already applied your patch to the 21.4 branch - thanks! I tried to build a Windows-native 21.5 with your patch applied using VC6 both with and without the SDK, but no joy. Here's what happened: Here are my non-SDK results: 1. I applied the attached patch. 2. I removed src/intl-auto-encap-win32 3. I created a config.inc file 4. nmake -f xemacs.mak unicode-encapsulate 5. nmake -f xemacs.mak ==> E:\cygwin\usr\local\src\xemacs-21.5-benson\src\fileio.c(2328) : error C2664: 'qxeGetFileAttributes' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'const unsigned char *' to 'const char *' Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast NMAKE: fatal error U1077: 'cl' : return code '0x2' Stop. Here's how I tried to build with the SDK 1. I ran stdenv.cmd to set up my SDK environment 2. I applied the patch 3. I ran nmake -f xemacs.mak and I got the same result as before ==> E:\cygwin\usr\local\src\xemacs-21.5-benson-sdk\src\fileio.c(2328) : error C2664: 'qxeGetFileAttributes' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'const unsigned char * ' to 'const char *' Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires reinterpret_cast, C- style cast or function-style cast NMAKE: fatal error U1077: 'cl' : return code '0x2' Stop. Is there something else I should be doing? In one email you alluded to an updated version of your patch; did I apply the most recent version?
