I finally got the latest version of Xorg 6.8.1 to build. Using X11.app, X
applications can now "see" moused events. There is still one difference
between this X11.app and X11.app v1 wrt the mouse. If I open a "regular" OS
X window (say a TextEdit file) and try to switch back and forth between an X
window and the OS X window, I cannot unless I first select another X window
or the X11.app docked icon. Even a menubar click fails to raise the window.
Focus goes to the window with thmouse or with one click. This breaks the
interleaving I was used to, but is what XDarwin has always done (isn't it?).
You may remember earlier that I was using the shadow method (lndir ../xc).
But I abandonned that for the Xserver programs after you explained the
problems with the way Xcode treats links.
I think there may be an error in the patch file, but it is probably an error
in my use of patch. Even though I did not get errors, the Imakefiles were
not changed. quartzStartup.c was changed. That was the first problem I
found in the build--the one I wrote about earlier. Once I made the changes
by hand, everything went fine up to the building of Xquartz. There, the
problem was with a variable (DarwinParseModifierList) in darwin.c declared
as static but treated as an extern in apple/X11Application.m
Two other variables are implicitly declared in apple/X11Application.m, but
their implicit declaration breaks the build much later before Xquartz but
after X11.app is made. They are darwinSwapAltMeta and darwinSyncKeymap.
darwinSyncKeymap is also reffed in X11Controller.m
Thanks for your work. I run X from reset to reset, as long as two months on
my PowerBook. Any improvements mean a lot.
