Hallo,
i am very new to eclipse-cdt and want to try out some things. Please don't
be angry if i ask the wrong people for my problem, but i have studied
bugzilla, have read the lpex manual and haven't recognized any solution.
My problem is that i can't type in the above characters in the lpex editor
window. It seems to me that these keys have a special function underlying,
but i don't know how to get rid of them. I just want to get a 'n' when i
type it. But there is no action ! This is also true for the command-line.
I have downloaded the eclipse-platform-R1.0-win32.zip and
cdt-eclipse-20020116.zip files and i am working under Win98.
Thanks a lot for any answers.
With best regards, Siegfried Schaefer

Hmm,
Tried this on Windows NT, 2000, and XP, but could not reproduce the
problem... I can't think of a reason Windows 98 would be different!?
Did you by any chance set a key behaviour different from 'lpex'? Have a look
at "Window" -> "Preferences" -> "LPEX Editor" -> 'Editor profile' selection.
It should be 'lpex' by default.
When you open a file with Eclipse's 'Default Text Editor' (using "Open With"
in the file navigator popup), are all the keys accepted correctly?
Finally, I wonder if this could be a font problem. Try selecting another font
("Window" -> "Preferences" -> "LPEX Editor" -> (expand) "Appearance" to set
other fonts.

Hello,
thanks for your efforts Adrian. No, i haven't change the default behaviour
of the lpex editor. I do edit with the vi-mode of lpex now and all keys are
functioning. It is the same with the 'default text editor'. If i select
another font, for example courier new, than lpex mode doesn't work either.
For the moment i will further investigate eclipse with vi. But now i have
another question : Should external commands work under Win98 ? I would use
eclipse for developing my embedded projects and have to run the arm-based
tool chain under cygwin. I have tried to see some output of a normal 'ls'
command and there were no outputs on the output window, but the progress bar
shows some action. Any ideas ?
With best regards, Siegfried Schaefer

Hi,
In regards to the "ls" problem on Win98: it is a fairly simple one which is
unrelated to the lpex\key problems you are having. We hard-coded the shell used
to launch commands on Windows as "cmd.exe". We only tried this on NT and 2000
where it works. But on Win98 there is no cmd.exe. As a hack workaround, you
could probably make a copy of "command.exe" and name it to "cmd.exe". Warning:
no one here has Win98 so we can't be sure this will work. Let us and the group
know if this fixes the command output problem.
If you're feeling ambitious, you could modify & build your local copy of the CDT
source. The hardcoded string "cmd" is on line 263 of
org.eclipse.cdt.dstore.miners/org/eclipse/cdt/dstore/miners/ command/CommandMiner
..java.
In the meantime this is a simple enough fix, and we will include it in the next
driver that we provide. Typically we don't actively support Windows-specific
problems, since our focus and committment is to Linux. However we will be happy
to see some community development on this and other fronts.
Thanks...
Jeff Turnham

Hello,
i have tested my installation under Win NT 4.0 SP6 and it seems to be
(nearly) all right. The ls command is functioning, but lpex problem just
exists. I am fairly sure that this must be a lpex specific problem with
lpex-mode, because vi-mode works fine for me.
I have tried your tip about renaming command.com to cmd.exe ... now it seems
to me that eclipse hangs. I just see the progress bar moving around and
nothing more. Because i want to move my development environment to Win2000 i
will not investigate this problem under Win98 any more.
Should we forget Win98 and promote eclipse for NT/2000/XP ? You should
meanwhile change the download page of cdt saying that it doesn't work under
Win98.
With best regards, Siegfried Schaefer

Thanks for the information...I will update our pages to warn about running
commands on Win98.

Siegfried,
I tried LPEX on Windows XP with the keyboard set to "German (Germany)"
(which I assume is closer to the settings on your machine). It still
works fine for me. The only problem inside Eclipse seems to be the
AltGr keys which LPEX doesn't receive (they do work fine, however, if
the LPEX text widget is used outside Eclipse, inside a simple SWT
Shell), which I'll test further (and open an Eclipse bug if that's the
source of the problem).
I'll try to set the same conditions under Windows NT and/or 2000, to see
if I get anywhere close to the problem you're experiencing.
I wonder if anyone else uses CDT on Windows 98 / with a German
workstation and has similar problems?!

OK, I changed my XP machine to be completely German (not just the
keyboard), and found the problem. In a non-English locale, the action
accelerators set by LPEX were translated (so Ctrl became Strg on a
German workstation), Eclipse was ignoring the Strg (but not the rest).
So, for example, accelerator "Ctrl+Q" -> "Strg+Q" was becoming just
"Q". Consequently, pressing "q" on the keyboard was rerouted by Eclipse
to the action intended for "Ctrl+Q" (setQuickMark)... [I should have
been more aware of problems in this area, as I once complained myself
about the current method of setting accelerators in eclipse.tools!]
Also, the AltGr keys were fixed.
These will be available in the next CDT driver refresh.

Hello Adrian,
sorry not to hear from me the last days... i was busy switching my
environment to W2000 and do other urgent thinks.
I have shortly tested the lpex-mode with your corrections under W2000 and
Win98 and it works fine. You have done a good job ! Thank you.
For now on i will work under W2000, so eclipse under W98 will not matter me
anymore. Sorry, but time is short in our life.
Best regards, Siegfried Schaefer
