John, I have a nasty feeling a *nix fs on floppies is vendor dependent. Much easier to write the floppy in DOS format on the *nix system. -- Regards Dave Saville **= Email 7 ==========================** Date: Mon, 3 Feb 2003 16:02:15 +0000 From: John Poltorak Subject: Re: fetchmail 6.2.1 patch On Mon, Feb 03, 2003 at 04:39:50PM +0100, Yuri Dario wrote: > Hi, > > this weekend I changed mail handling on my server, so I had to update my fetchmail installation. > By the way I moved code from 5.9.5 to last 6.2.1, and fixed a couple of things in daemon mode. > > I have zipped a binary together with patches as > > http://os2power.dnsalias.com/yuri/software/fetchmail621b1.zip (185kb) I found:- http://os2power.dnsalias.com/yuri/software/fetchmail621.zip It always great to get updates to ports that have been around along time. Looking through the patches, I wonder if there is any scope for removing some of the '#ifdef __EMX__ ' lines... Maybe configure scripts can be used to decide whether we need to #include This patch seems to occur four times. Is there an option in configure which can be used to add it to config.h? That would make the could much more portable and maybe we could eventually make it build on OS/2 straight out of the box. > Bye, > > Yuri Dario > > /* > * member of TeamOS/2 - Italy > * http://www.quasarbbs.net/yuri > * http://www.teamos2.it > * http://www.opera.com/os2/ > */ -- John **= Email 8 ==========================** Date: Mon, 03 Feb 2003 16:39:50 +0100 (CET) From: "Yuri Dario" Subject: fetchmail 6.2.1 patch Hi, this weekend I changed mail handling on my server, so I had to update my fetchmail installation. By the way I moved code from 5.9.5 to last 6.2.1, and fixed a couple of things in daemon mode. I have zipped a binary together with patches as http://os2power.dnsalias.com/yuri/software/fetchmail621b1.zip (185kb) Only basic features are currently compiled in this binary.

BTW under EMX kill(pid,0) is supported only for child processes: it can be replaced by DosVerifyPidTid( pid,tid) system API that is documented in latest toolkit docs. The API was available also before WSeB release, but not documented officially. >This patch seems to occur four times. Is there an option in configure >which can be used to add it to config.h? That would make the could much that's possible: just add sys/types.h to AC_CHECK_HEADERS macro in configure.in, and add a line like /* Define as 1 if you have sys/types.h */ #undef HAVE_SYS_TYPES_H in config.h.in Bye, Yuri Dario /* * member of TeamOS/2 - Italy * http://www.quasarbbs.net/yuri * http://www.teamos2.it * http://www.opera.com/os2/ */ **= Email 10 ==========================** Date: Mon, 03 Feb 2003 19:38:06 -0500 From: Henry Sobotka Subject: Re: recode / iconv gdk/gtk Franz Bakan wrote: > > is there a tool available that can convert UTF-8 to iso-8859-1 (for example)?

What do you do to build it? Run patch, then configure and make?... It didn't work for me. Maybe you used some parameters with configure...
