Small tweak to HW accelerated cursor committed
As usual my CVS commit emails are in limbo, but just a heads up that I've checked in a small change to the HW accelerated cursor routines. Before it would set the cursor no matter where the mouse was, even in the title bar. (Drag an xterm in multiwindow mode quickly and see the Windows cursor change to the X root cursor or the insertion bar depending on where you're dragging over on the X hidden root window...it's a race condition so sometimes it will show, sometimes not.) The new changes check to see if the current cursor position is outside of a window's client rect, and if so then it creates the cursor (for later WM_SETCURSOR events) but does not SetCursor() it. The WM_SETCURSOR handler will take care of it when the mouse moves back into the client region. It's also possible to create color Win32 cursors dynamically, not just black and white ones, through the use of CreateIcon (really!). I don't have any way of testing this at all so I haven't done any work on it. Are there any apps that compile under cygwin that set the X11 cursor color? -Earle F.

Harold,
Didn't you mean the last command to be 'xterm-186-1.sh build'? Also, this
will only work if a) you unpack xterm-186.tar.gz by hand prior to running
the commands, and b) you have . in your ${PATH} (but those are nitpicks
and easy to figure out).
You'll quickly note that 'X.Org Foundation' is somehow
getting into CFLAGS as a raw string, causing gcc to bork. It seems that
this may be somehow caused by macros in xterm's configure scripts that
copy the CFLAGS set by the imake configuration files.
WFM. I just built xterm.exe (and resize.exe) with no errors using the
above recipe. Did I, by chance, grab the wrong source tarball? I got the
one from http://dickey.his.com/xterm/xterm.html (direct link:
ftp://invisible-island.net/xterm/xterm.tar.gz). FWIW, that tarball
contains no occurrences of X.Org anywhere. Also, if it matters, I used
xterm-185-4.sh.
However, with the CVS version I did get a too many decimal points in a
number error. I suspect it's a quoting issue -- XVERSION should have
been defined as a string, and it was missing the quotes. An extra level
of shell invocation probably stripped them out. I'll investigate...
I haven't got a heck of a lot of time to look into this, so I would
appreciate it if anyone with a little understanding of auto* and shell
scripts could take a peek at why xterm is failing to build under
Cygwin/X at the moment.

Re: Small tweak to HW accelerated cursor committed
Okay, just released that tweak as xorg-x11-xwin-6.7-6. Thanks, Harold Earle F.
