If, on the other hand, the applications work fine with xclipboard, then
maybe we will be able to do a better job of handling the selections.
Well actually I can't even get the cygwin one to run let alone do anything.

Can you build the xwinclip exe and use the dll supplied

Thanks for the feedback, I will post another version of mine tonight (forgot

I will post the built exe and the dll for my version as well, just to remove
compilation issues.

No. It only takes ownership selection when XWin is gaining activation (and
not from another window). When Xwin looses activation (and therefore focus)

Hi,
this is vastly different then the machine's I have. I have attached an
untouched spec file fresh from setup.exe.
Are there any differences with yours?
I'm away from my machine at the moment, but since you are having problems
with gcc, may I suggest you upgrade to the latest version?
$ cygcheck -c gcc
will show you the version installed.
got the right version on this computer and the spec file is still broken, it
just adds dllcrt2.o not the path as yours does.

ok finally cracked it:

xwinclip_hook.dll xwinclip_hook.o -lkernel32 -luser32
not that the :-enable-threads=no seems to matter a damn.

For how long? This is an ugly hack.
Indeed it is. The 2.95 release is ok though, 3.2 forces this hack.
Are you really trying to compile xwinclip for MinGW? Why?
Not entirely, a version I have written that resolves claiming ownership of
the primary selection. It uses a windows hook and as
hi all,
Under the gcc 2.95 release the :-mno_cygwin option let you link without
cygwin1.dll. The gcc 3.2 release in the latest cygwin build, whilst not
complaining about the option, will link with the cygwin1.dll even when using
the option.
cygcheck for example will show the link. This is
The correct option is -mno-cygwin and it works fine for me (at least for

I'm curious has it been forgotten that I already fixed the selection

Hi Harold,
From what I understand, you are grabbing ownership of the selection when
Cygwin/XFree86 loses focus... that is not the correct solution,
Nope, it only grabs X selection when both the windows clipboard has changed
(in latest code) and any cygwin/xfree86 class window is activated.
Well, if you solution is everthing you claim, then you certainly have not
been promoting it correctly.
It's my fault that you have forgotten it? I don't thinks so. If you did
not want to use it then you should have said a long time ago before I wasted
days on it.

Hi,
I can send you them directly later (I'm at work now) but..
You say it dies after the messages are displayed, do you mean that xwinclip
then terminates? Or do you mean it doesn't seem to do much?
Also I'm still a little confused as to why you needed to change the build
dll script anyway,
Hi Volker,
I notice you had a mingw error. Could you please try using the gcc provided
with cygwin, as I believe myself and others use. It should remove most of
the problems you're seeing as neither myself nor others seem to have them.
As to the output, that's correct it's debug information
Hi Volker,
Can you try the version I posted last month (there were several versions but
the last post holds the best version).
It solves the clearing of the selection. I am suprised that the test06
solved your problem, it didn't with me or other users. I use NEdit so I
have the same issue
Unfortunately not. The version most recently posted had the ctrl+c and
server reset code in place but nothing much else.
Oh.
It does however contain the code to handle the selections properly. I'm not
sure I made that clear enough. It does what you want it to do but not much
else, is
I thank you for putting so much time into developing xwinclip.
It has been a pleasure anyway.

Hi All,
As promised an updated version of my xwinclip patch.
Major changes:
Now ctrl-c works properly, closes nicely, both the windows hook and the x

Also a restart works for when the x server crashes/restarts/whatever so will

Woohoo! So, when do we get to see the beautiful new code?

Hi All,
Quick update, got the signal working properly for ctrl-c or closing the
windows command window. Solution (as the SIGINT handler is run in a
seperate thread in windows) is to set a variable in the windows loop that
sends the kill message that kill_xwinclip was doing.
That means that
Hi All,
The select statement isn't the problem, it's the restart. I'm pretty
certain that it's just due to the old window sending messages the select
does a peekmessage of NULL for the hwnd, this picks up all messages for that
thread.
The restarter wasn't closing the window so it's probable
The problem seemed to be based around the old window not getting destroyed,
windows still thinks it's there and sends forth more messages to it.
I've destroyed the window in the iohandler and the problem seems to be
solved. Sorry for the multiple posts just spotted it over a few days.
Chris
Hi All,
I think I've just identified a bug with select on /dev/windows. According
to the select code for the windows device it does a if (peekmessage()) then
in xwinclip it does the flushwindows upon select returning.
I've found a wierd circumstance were select returns but when the

sense out of your proposal.

Harold,
As an aside this link explains that the only way is to longjmp/setjmp.
http://www.faqs.org/faqs/Xt-FAQ/section-19.html
If the intention is to fully integrate xwinclip into XWin then this would be
unwanted to say the least. Given XWin would close anyway you'd still want
xwinclip to

more than one screen.

There is some obvious cleaning to do here. First, is to use only tabs or
only spaces (don't remember which one Harold uses). Having a mix of space
and tabs is a big mess for people who don't use the same tab size (8 vs 4
vs 3 vs 2).
I'll figure which one's are used and change the stuff
will release it
when appropriate. Is putting a zip attachment on this mailing list
appropriate?
I have only been working on this for 3 days and it's my first attempt at X
antics so if these are FAQ style items I appologise (I've looked just can't
find them).
