From: vischne AT ibm DOT net Subject: Escape sequence patch for libslangw32 25 Jan 1998 06:25:15 -0800 Message-ID: <199801251421.OAA65926.cygnus.gnu-win32@out5.ibm.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit To: gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com If you add the following line to SLsys_getkey in slw32tty.c, case VK_ESCAPE: escape_sequence = (char *)NULL; break; you stand a chance of tuning in to the `extra' escape sequences generated by the b18 version of cygwin.dll in response to, e. g., mouse clicks in the console window. You then discover that the mouse-click reporting appears to be queued. I. e., the "\eMbxy" returns from a mouse click appear to come a number of keystrokes after the click occurs instead of immediately. In fact, you can see the `<-Mabc' echoes on the Dos window in which slrn.exe is running. BTW, from experience compiling Linux kernels with gcc, it seems evident that large libraries need the `-fno-strength-reduce' flag to prevent errors in the compiled code, even with the latest gcc, and probably with egcs as well. - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
