libpng in XQuartz 2.7.10 beta
by David Ray 31 May '16

31 May '16

For a few years I’ve been linking to the PNG libraries in XQuartz when I build PHP. This is because I’m trying to minimize the number of PNG library instances on my system, Apple doesn’t include development lbraries, and I always have XQuartz. I understand this is a “nice to have” feature but never a requirement for XQuartz. Just wanted to give a heads-up that the PNG development libraries in XQuartz appear to have changed recently and I cannot point to /opt/X11 for PNG development libraries anymore when building PHP. They are failing somehow. I can make a separate PNG installation in /usr/local and point to that when building PHP. So just checking if the beta versions have a known issue with development libraries for PNG. Again, I understand this is not a requirement for XQuartz, just a convenient feature I would like to keep if possible. -Dave

XQuartz 2.7.10_beta1
by Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia 18 May '16

18 May '16

I have just released XQuartz 2.7.10_beta1. The only changes from 2.7.9 are updates to mesa 11.2.1 and xorg-server 1.18.3. Note that as with the 2.7.9 betas, this version is built with ASan which will help with error reporting but may have a negative impact on performance. https://www.xquartz.org/releases/XQuartz-2.7.10_beta1.html Due to an issue with akami.bintray.com not satisfying ATS requirements, you may have trouble automatically updating from 2.7.9 to 2.7.10_beta1. I've already reported the issue to bintray. If you have issues downloading the update automatically, please do a manual install. Thanks, Jeremy

Re: [Xquartz-dev] Class unable to view Qt5 Linux app using XQuartz

Ken, Thank you for your reply. I thought I sent a reply to the list but apparently not. We were able to discover the cause of the problem and a fix. The default XQuartz Pasteboard preference was: Update Pasteboard when CLIPBOARD changes: checked If this box is unchecked, cutting and pasting works. This did lead to different problem, however, about the key mappings for cutting and pasting, which I posted in a followup post, which I'll repeat here. ---------- Begin forwarded message ---------- Dear XQuartz developers, I have a class where the majority of students are using Macs and XQuartz to interact with an app running on Linux. They are developing code with the app, so are doing a lot of copying and pasting. The students are used to using Cmd-C and Cmd-V to copy and paste, but the app expects Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V. Googling how to map the keys led to your website, where I tried the solution offered at https://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/ticket/398 which is to have the students use this .Xmodmap file clear mod2 clear control keycode 63 = Control_L keycode 67 = Control_L keycode 71 = Control_L add control = Control_L Unfortunately, this doesn't work. I'm sure this is a commonly desired functionality and there must be a solution. Could you please tell me how to accomplish this key mapping. These are our XQuartz Pasteboard settings: Enable syncing: y Update Pasteboard when CLIPBOARD changes: n Update CLIPBOARD when Pasteboard changes: y Update PRIMARY (middle-click) when Pasteboard changes: y Update Pasteboard immediately when new text is selected: n Many thanks, Bill *From: *Ken Thomases <ken(a)codeweavers.com> *Subject: **Re: [Xquartz-dev] Class unable to view Qt5 Linux app using XQuartz* *Date: *April 12, 2016 at 8:13:30 PM PDT *To: *Developer talk about Xquartz <xquartz-dev(a)lists.macosforge.org> *Reply-To: *Developer talk about Xquartz <xquartz-dev(a)lists.macosforge.org> What X error is Qt getting? Presumably, you'd need the Qt developers' help in learning that. Maybe Qt has a verbose logging setting. Which selection is it using? They asked about the ssh X11 forwarding configuration. That would be useful for us, too. Did you try installing xsel on the Linux system and running it with a Mac as the X server? What were the results? Regards, Ken

Sparkle URL / xquartz-dl
by Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia 05 May '16

One of our old servers on MacOSForge (xquartz-dl) will be going offline soon. Redirects should be in place for any legacy links that might be out there, but if you have any set yourself, I suggest that you update them to point to current locations. Of specific note, if you have set a defaults preference to follow our beta sparkle stream, I suggest you update it now: defaults write org.macosforge.xquartz.X11 SUFeedURL https://www.xquartz.org/releases/sparkle/beta.xml --Jeremy
