I haven't updated that in a long time because it still works for me. I haven't used gcc-4.3 yet, but I have used the current clfs glibc-2.8 which includes libidn. When I was first trying this on multilib I managed to break the symlinks several times. I also think I had a problem with the non-wide ncurses on my current build so perhaps soemthing changed somewhere. Man-pages are a separate issue: what I do in that reference works, but only for UTF-8. The developments in man-db sound interesting, but I haven't had time to try that (and anyway it probably needs an older groff). ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce _______________________________________________ Clfs-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.cross-lfs.org/listinfo.cgi/clfs-dev-cross-lfs.org
