It's not always possible to do on Unix what Emacs 23 and before did on Windows. On Unix you can build Emacs without any X support whatsoever, something that is not supported on Windows. In that case, X functions are not available.

From: Pablo Mercader Alcántara <programingfrik <at> gmail.com> To: bug-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org Subject: 24.5; Paste from clipboard to emacs -nw on windows 8.1 Date: Wed, 5 Aug 2015 20:06:19 -0400Some days ago I installed version 24.5, in the previous version that I used (24.3) everything was fine. I start my emacs session with the "-nw" command line option. And proceeded to work. Everything works fine, except that now after the update the text that I kill on emacs doesn't go into windows clipboard. I can paste on emacs text coming from other programs through the clipboard, but the inverse is not possible. When I start emacs normally (without "-nw") everything works fine, so at first I thought that this was some kind of new configuration. Later I decided to make some research and found where the problem was. Looking at the value of the variable "interprogram-cut-function" in my system I see that it's set to "x-select-text" and in my system this function is defined at "common-win.el". In the body of "x-select-text" the first "cond" function is like this "(cond ((eq (framep (selected-frame)) 'w32) ..." and I think this is the cause for the kill function to be unable to send the text to the clipboard when running with the "-nw" option, because when emacs runs in this mode the call "(framep (selected-frame))" returns "t" when it is waiting for a "w32" value. When the same call is run on the emacs running whithout the "-nw" option the expected "w32" value appears. I was also curious about why the yank function does work so, I went to see the source of the "x-get-selection-value" function too. It turns out that it's even defined on a different source file named "w32-common-fns.el". Seeing that I think that only the windows version defines this function this way, and I can't see anything like the "framep" function arround here so there is the problem. Thanks for the great emacs editor! I really admire this project!
