I found that this is true, for all my executables which are *not* using
X11R6.4 Dll's.
I compiled the latest X11R6.4 release with patch levels 1-3
applied and the patch from Sergey. Everything builds fine, except the
program bitmap is dumping core when executing.
vzell:/tmp> bitmap
Warning: Cannot convert string "menu12" to type Pixmap
Warning: Cannot convert string "FlipHoriz" to type Pixmap
Warning: Cannot convert string "Term" to type Pixmap
[main] D:\usr\X11R6.4\bin\bitmap.exe 1037 (0) handle_exceptions: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION
[main] bitmap 1037 (0) handle_exceptions: Dumping stack trace to bitmap.exe.core
vzell:/tmp>
But I cannot execute B19 compiled (latest coolview) X11 programs with
these new DLL's. They seem to depend on the B19 compiled X11-DLL's.
Here is a typical core dump which occurs when executing a X11 program:
vzell:/tmp> gs
Aladdin Ghostscript 5.10 (1997-11-23)
Copyright (C) 1997 Aladdin Enterprises, Menlo Park, CA. All rights reserved.
This software comes with NO WARRANTY: see the file PUBLIC for details.
[main] D:\usr\local\bin\gs.exe 1038 (0) handle_exceptions: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION
[main] gs 1038 (0) handle_exceptions: Dumping stack trace to gs.exe.core
Also the typical windows Error message box, talks about::
bla, bla the action 'read' could not be executed on memory , bla bla bla
Is this the way it should work or is something wrong with my X11 build ????
Yes, I copied cygwin1.dll to cygwinb19.dll as suggested.
My workaround is that I recompiled all my X11 apps again with my new
build of X11R6.4 and everything seems to work :-)
I have just one problem with the compilation of Ghostscript
ghostscript-5.50 - ftp://ftp.cs.wisc.edu/ghost/aladdin/gs550/
Everything compiles except the following file:
gcc `cat ./obj/cc.tr` -O2 -Wall -Wcast-qual -Wpointer-arith -Wstrict-prototypes -Wwrite-strings -I. -I./obj -o ./obj/gp_unifs.o -c ./gp_unifs.c

and so on
I applied also Sergeys B19 patch for gs5.10. In B19 times compilation
went fine, so what is wrong today ???

Why is Sergeys Mixed-Case-Patch not included in the official release ???
