O: nedit (up for grabs)

I'm lacking working X to check the compilation results. If someone would
be interested in maintaining nedit, I'd be happy to orphan it.

The 2008-12-01 package files can be found at:

Please upload minires-1.02-1

Please upload the minires-1.02 and minires-devel-1.02, keeping 1.01
No change in the setup.hints.

The changes affect all 9Xs but only NTs if the user has elected to bypass WinDNS.
I will send matching changes to cygwin-patches for the built-in minires.

Thanks

Pierre

Help!

I just made a "really dumb mistake"(tm) in a low-coffee state.

I managed to rm all files from the release-2/minires directory.
For some reason I was thinking "minires-devel" when it was really
just "minires".

When I realized my mistake (too late), I copied the files back so that
the mirrors can see them, but I know it's not the right thing to do.

Chris, would you mind to fix up behind me? :}

Thanks,
Corinna

Please upload opengl-1.1.0-9


Please upload opengl-1.1.0-9, keeping 1.1.0-8 as previous.

This update should solve the problems that have been reported after the 
release of new X server, such as:

http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-11/msg00022.html
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2008-12/msg00003.html

The problems were due to some conflict with the last version of
the libGL-devel, libGLU-devel, libglut-devel packages. See:

http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2008-11/msg00037.html
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2008-11/msg00043.html

Unfortunately, users of the opengl package might have to change the way they 
build their applications. See:

http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-11/msg00056.html

There is a remaining conflict with the w32api package, with a workaround. 
This would be the subject of another thread.

Exerbs from the updated README.txt:

Conflict betwen the opengl package and the w32api package over libglut32.lib


Hi there.

For a very long time, the w32api package has provided /usr/lib/w32api/libglut32.a .
I don't know why the w32api package provides libglut32.a ; it is the only 
glut-related file that it provides. The rest of glut, that is, the glut.h header and
the glut32.dll, are provided by the opengl package.

This was fine until glut32.dll was updated from 3.7.3 to 3.7.6, which happened at 
the release of opengl-1.1.0-6. From then, libglut32.a has been missing 
some hidden functions in the new glut32.dll: ___glutCreateMenuWithExit, 
___glutCreateWindowWithExit, and ___glutInitWithExit. I hacked around it in 
glut.h, but this caused programs to continue to run in the background if their 
window was closed by using the close (X) icon in the title bar.

For opengl-1.1.0-9, I reversed that hack to correct the problem, but now if
you include glut.h, you can not link with libglut32.a, as it misses the 3
required functions. The opengl-1.1.0-9 package now includes glut32.lib, and linking
with it works well. But:

1- It is ugly. A POSIX environement should not require to link with some .lib file.
2- It forces developers of glut programs to modify their build system.
3- It creates confusion, as there is now 2 files competing for the same goal:
libglut32.a and glut32.lib, the first of which don't work anymore.

So, I am asking the maintainers of the w32api package to remove libglut32.a.
Then I would update the opengl package to include a version that is compatible
with the rest of glut.

Regards,
(Continue reading)

Sorry, I made a typo in the subject of my last message.

The rest of the message, 
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2008-12/msg00006.html
is hopefully correct!

I'm comfortable with doing this, but I've taken it to the MinGW-dvlpr
list just to make sure that it won't cause any issues.

:(

Don't you have some other provider to upload files?  Cygwin.com is a
remote system only accessible by ssh and the only way to fetch these
files would be to fetch them first to my local machine, and then upload
them to cygwin.com.  That's really inconvenient.
