I was trying to make DIFF work the same way as SED (3.02). I noticed that the parameters I use for configuring SED were --without-included-regex --with-regex=-lregex.

I've found that I can achieve what I want by patching Makefile.in by replacing:- LIBS = at LIBS at with LIBS = -lregex This is a bit of a cheat, but I hope to get it fully automated before long. To do that, I'll need a Makefile.am, although I can't imagine what it needs.

I'd suggest to use the macro from the grep package.

I don't use mysql, although it would be interesting to know what went into that mysql fix as it might be some common component creating the same temporary files. > On Thu, 4 Nov 2004 14:58:07 +0000, John Poltorak wrote: > > >I get numerous .c2t files in %TMP%. > > > >Does anyone know what the source of them is? > > -- John **= Email 13 ==========================** Date: Fri, 5 Nov 2004 12:20:11 +0000 From: John Poltorak Subject: SED problem I'm having a problem redirecting the output of SED to a file.
