  • Comment: Win README recommends outdated msys 0.8

    There is no need to specify a version. Just suggest fetching the latest version of msys and mingw.

  • file stat fails on locked files on win32

    On Windows the page file c:\pagefile.sys is always open and locked. In NativeAccess we try using GetFileAttributes but this will return ERROR_SHARING_VIOLATION and -1, leading Tcl to believe the file does not exist. Similar code is in NativeStat fails for the same reason. So we cannot currently test for the existence or size or mtime for this file. However if we then try FindFirstFile for the...

  • Comment: fCmd test failures on Windows7

    Given the low portability of this test I've added contstraints to exclude those that use 555 directories on Windows Vista and above. That leaves them running on XP.

  • Grab on . prevents minimizing app on Windows.

    For bug #1847002 we added some restrictions for system commands when a grab is present. One of the changes was to prevent grabbed toplevels from being minimized as this can confuse users if the only active window in a Tk app disappears. Unfortunately it seems that some applications manage to leave a grab on the main window. This now prevents the application from being minimized although...

  • fCmd test failures on Windows7

    We are getting test failures for fCmd 9.4, 9.6, 9.9 and 9.11 on Windows 7 for both HEAD and 8.5-branch. Each of these uses the testchmod command to set the directory to 555 which seems to equate to 'attrib +r dir & cacls dir /e /d Everyone' ie: set the directory readonly and deny write access. Presumably on Unix a 555 directory can be renamed or otherwise modified by not on Win7. The actual...
