Not at all. It means that the return value for clock() is as milliseconds
in a 32-bit integer. 71.5833 minutes is 4,295,000,000 milliseconds, and
that exceeds the range of a 32-bit integer.
ftime() is obsolete. It is broken in glibc 2.0 and 2.1.1. gettimeofday()
is recommended instead.

After checking I found the libgd.so.1.8.3 in /usr/lib
The header gd.h is in /usr/include but not in the linux-2.2.16/include and
I assume that this is where glibc-2.2.2 get its headers as they are the
same
How do I get it to use the /usr/include ones, do I use
--with-headers=/usr/include
or --with-headers=/usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include /usr/include ????

gosh, does it really. i use a completely different emacs:
http://www.scottb.demon.co.uk/emacs/emacs7.html
and for a bit of history:
http://www.finseth.com/~fin/emacs.html#20
it uses nothing like 20MB and starts up very quickly.
futher, it defaults to a (no flames please) Windows key map. so ^X ^C

Subject: Re: Need your recommendation for a full-featured text editor
Date: Sat, 14 Apr 2001 18:04:36 GMT
Ok, this is going to sound crazy, but I actually do this:
I need to work on linux, windows, and mac. So, I have 3 systems,
networked. I cannot get away with just a single text editor. So...
1. When on linux at the workstation, I never need to do heavy editing,
so I try to use gedit. In a pinch, I actually use 'ed' since I never
learned vi, and i've used ed for over 20 years, which exists on
every unix box and is good for making a 1 or 2 line change. Mostly
I use this when coming in over telnet. Knowing ed means you also know
sed.
2. For C development, I try to develop on my windows box using
(sorry) MICROSOFT VIS C version 6. As an environment, I have never seen
anything better. I have toolbar macros that generate all common
programming fragments, like for loops, if-elseif-else blocks etc.
Dragging and dropping text is a must, and the automatic parameter
fill-in etc. goes way beyond a text editor. The ability to locate
all uses of a variable etc. is necessary, now that my brain is getting
too old to remember. And doing greps is just too hard a way to find
things.
The browsing windows along with the "go back" button makes programs look
like hypertext.
I've even used it as just an editor where I load/save my file to a nfs
exported
linux disk, since it is a superb editor even w/o the browse feature.
It actually seems to be always scanning my code since as soon as I add
a structure or class, it knows about it and can prompt me with the
structure or class members even w/o compiling.
3. And sometimes I use a program called BBEDIT on the mac. It has
load/save
over ftp and supports lots of html type editing. It also has about the
best file differencing I've yet seen. It lets you compare files,
directories,
etc. and then gives you a summary window where you can see all the
differences
and by clicking on a line it brings up 2 source windows side by side
with a third
window showing all diffeences and as you scroll down adjusts the 2
source
windows to show what changed. A couple of buttons lets you choose what
changes you want (e.g. I want to apply a difference in one file into
the other file - useful when 2 people have been changing the same file).
It has syntax coloring for languages like c,perl, etc. It understands
functions or
procedures in the various languages and creates a menu popup with
all the functions/procedures etc. This is a program I wish was portable
to the pc or linux, though it does understand the 3 line terminator
styles.
So, given your list of requirements, I don't think there is really
any single product out there that would serve your needs, but if you
can figure out how to make your files system independent (mostly by
understanding the different line terminators) and can access them
over the net, then I think you can get close to what you want.

Tom, you are absolutely correct. I forgot all about how I used TECO on a Terak
(PDP-11 instruction set with LSI-11 chips). If it was okay then it must truly
be GREAT by now.
Of course, back then I used vi mostly and downloaded to the Terak just to
test.

I happily switched to syntax highlighted code as soon as it became possible.
I've used syntax highlighting for:
Java
Basic
C/C++
Perl
HTML
Javascript
DSP assembly
probably some others I'm forgetting
I find it speeds up my ability to make sense of a screen of text. It also is
great for real-time catching of syntax errors when, for instance, you forget
to end a string quote and the rest of the page gets colored as if it was a
string constant.
I also like editors that can parse and display on the side the list of
methods, data members, etc of a class. Class browsing and navigation within a
file by clicking on method and variable names is great. Also, having the list
of variables and methods use different coloring or icon types for variables vs
methods, private vs public methods and so on is helpful.
Also, code completion with pop-down lists of methods and args to methods and
so on is quite helpful as well.
I like having smart tools that understand what I'm doing.

I can't seem to get my pcmcia reader to work with flash cards under

as a module. I see elsewhere mention of a problem with the /etc/pcmcia/config
having ide_cs.o (like it always was) and the new kernels do it as
ide-cs.o -- so anyway I tried it both ways but no go. What is going

Subject: /sbin/installkernel
Date: 15 Apr 2001 04:03:30 +0100
I'm running RedHat-7.0 (kernel-2.4.3).
I notice that /sbin/installkernel ignores the 4th argument
given to it by "make install" in /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot
namely INSTALL_PATH .
Instead this is always set to /boot .
I was compiling for an ancient machine on a Pentium,
and assumed that
env INSTALL_PATH=/tmp/ make install
would copy the kernel and System.map to /tmp
but found the environment setting was ignored.
[The corresponding module setting
env INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/tmp/ make modules_install
works perfectly.]
Have I overlooked something?
