That's a little odd; especially on the m4 side. In looking around, it seems like the Gentoo ebuilds and Debian packages both should do m4 just fine, and the Debian builds look like they have rplay and GNU_REGEX set as well. > I defined the stuff in Imakefile.local but after compiling and > typeing ctwm -info I still see only I18n support. I'd suspect you're probably running the wrong ctwm in that case, or you missed re-running imake after the changes. With the defines set in the Imakefile.local, it shouldn't even be possible for the compile to succeed without linking in the extra bits. Now, that all said, if you're hacking on the ebuild (or on the Debian side package), I'd definitely encourage you to try pulling it up to being based on the snapshot announced a couple days ago. A lot has changed relative to 3.8.2; e.g., the GNU_REGEX stuff (which has never really had anything to do with GNU anyway) is no longer even optional. And it would get 'em in shape to easily transition to the final 4.0.0 release when it's made (hopefully soon). The gentoo build is even advertising itself for a new maintainer, too... ;) -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | [email protected] Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream.
