On Windows, the clipboard strings are encoded in UTF-16.
However, Drawterm considers them as Rune. It used to work
when a Rune was a short, but a Rune is now a int.
The solution is to implement Rune16 functions to
handle UTF-16 strings.
The Rune16 functions were written by Charles Forsyth
as part of Inferno. Balaji Srinivasa integrated them
into Drawterm.
INSTALLATION
--------------
To build on Unix, run CONF=unix make.
To build on Solaris using Sun cc, run CONF=sun make.
To build on Windows, you need Mingw. See http://www.mingw.org.
Edit Make.config to uncomment the Windows section
and comment out the rest. Then run CONF=windows make.
(You can download nmake from
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q132084
Rename it to make.exe and put it in your path somewhere.
)
I haven't tested the Windows build on Windows itself.
I cross-compile using mingw32 on Linux.
