copy/paste to control window failed on cygwin

[Hans Qiao]

Gurus. I have been struggling to find a way to copy/paste to control window of cssh under cygwin. I used the latest cssh ( 4.00_06), perl-tk (804-029-1), cygwin (CYGWIN_NT-6.1 mypc 1.7.7(0.230/5/3) 2010-08-31 09:58 i686 Cygwin), etc. The error goes,

"Use of uninitialized value $paste_text in length at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10/App/ClusterSSH.pm line 1736.
Got empty paste event
13:51:49: PASTE EVENT

Paste did nothing. But pasting into each terminal of cssh worked. So is there a fix so that I could paste into control window ?

Thanks.

Hi,

I had the same problem as you. Downloading X11::Protocol and Tk from CPAN and rebuilding it helped; now copy and paste works. :)

I used the instructions from here:
Howto build perl/Tk on cygwin
http://www.mail-archive.com/cygwin@cygwin.com/msg59116.html

The rebase was not needed but I've only done some quick tests. Seems working for me.
