I'm not sure that it makes much difference. Mine comes from XFree86 so running something under X _may_ be an issue, but we are some ways from tackling XFree. > I thought we'd be recreating one by building termcap. I'm hoping we can eventually get one installed as part of building NCURSES since that includes a global definition file which is used as the source for all termcaps in misc\terminfo.src within the ncurses package. > Thanks, > > -- Maynard > -- John _______________________________________________ UX2BS mailing list UX2BS at powerusersbbs.net http://powerusersbbs.net/mailman/listinfo/ux2bs **= Email 2 ==========================** Date: Thu, 13 Feb 2003 10:33:54 +0100 (MET) From: andreas.buening at nexgo.de Subject: Aw: libintl.a & intl.a John Poltorak wrote: > > I've just built the latest GETTEXT and noticed that the library created is > called intl.a rather than libintl.a.

I contains a lot of code for not standard behaviour of lots of systems (most of them are windows ;-) ).

All of the programs mentioned above use (different releases of) the GNU regex library. The behaviour of different GNU regex version is (as far as I know) essentially the same, they might slightly differ in some highly sophisticated regex expressions as GNU regex has changed during the last decade. > > Yes, I've managed to accumulate this lot so far:- > > > > gcc29160.dll > > gcc29166.dll > > gcc2952m.dll > > gcc2952s.dll > > gcc302m.dll > > gcc302s.dll > > > > I have no real idea where it has come from either... > > Looks like the contents of the zip with fixed versions Andy put together > a while back. I'd really prefer to link _everything_ with -lgcc. Everything else results in two new dlls for every gcc release and things like the famous "out of memory" bug of the first release of gcc2952?.dll. The Linux gcc seems to link with -lgcc anyway. Bye, Andreas P.S.: I apologize for any nonstandard signatures or mail subjects. The web interface I'm currently using is rather stupid and unflexible. :-( One OS to rule them all, One OS to find them, One OS to bring them all and in the darkness bind them In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Schlagen Sie sofort zu - mit Arcor und eBay Viele Artikel zum Sofort Kaufen! http://www.arcor.de/auk/ebay_sk.php ----------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ UX2BS mailing list UX2BS at powerusersbbs.net http://powerusersbbs.net/mailman/listinfo/ux2bs **= Email 4 ==========================** Date: Thu, 13 Feb 2003 19:05:00 +0000 From: John Poltorak Subject: Building UNZIP I tried building Info-Zip's UNZIP program which has a ready made Makefile specifically for gcc and OS/2, but it fails with:- gcc -Zomf -O -I. -o ./unzipsfx.exe os2/unzip.def unzipsf_.obj crc_gcc.obj crctab_.obj crypt_.obj extract_.obj fileio_.obj globals_.obj inflate_.obj match_.obj process_.obj ttyio_.obj os2_.obj os2acl_.obj -Zsmall-conv -Zstack 320 -Zsys -s gcc -Zomf -O -I. -c -Wall -DOS2 -DASM_CRC DLLFLAG= -DFUNZIP -ocryptf.obj crypt.c gcc: cannot specify -o with -c and multiple compilations make[1]: *** [cryptf.obj] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `U:/unixos2/workdir/unzip-5.50' make: *** [gcc] Error 2 Anyone know what the problem is here? -- John _______________________________________________ UX2BS mailing list UX2BS at powerusersbbs.net http://powerusersbbs.net/mailman/listinfo/ux2bs **= Email 5 ==========================** Date: Thu, 13 Feb 2003 21:07:29 -0500 From: Ted Sikora Subject: Just Checking...
