Hi Tzafrir,
Played a little bit with the Solaris version.
The old problem with the path to install-sh is still there. A short
reminder of it:
Aftyer running
./configure
followed by:
gmake PREFIX=/path/to/install
the build process aborts when installing lib refreshd_cnt.a because the
path to install-sh is wrong.
This can be fixed by editing
r2l-0.9.5/src/refreshd/src/make.defs
and changing the definition of
INSTALL=../../.././install-sh -c
to
INSTALL=../../../../install-sh -c
I will try to investigate the causes of refreshd deaths.
Regards,
Emil
