Hi Pavel ...
After that encouragement I had another go... This time with 4.5.99a and success :-) - but not without some learning opportunities! The first problem was that I didn't have glib installed. That's probably what defeated me last time. Now I knew enough to go to sunfreeware.com and download a copy. Then I had to install that... Next, there were still compile problems, this time due to glib not being in LD_LIBRARY_PATH. So I had to track down where it was installed and work out what the LD_LIBRARY_PATH entry should be (/usr/local/lib, in my case). For me, this was not a trivial process!!! With those things sorted out, it compiled!!! It's almost working but I have some keyboard issues, which learn keys won't fix. I don't have access to the systems at the moment so I can't check it out completely but I know that F1 doesn't work (Solaris gets that one - no big deal). I will report back when I have a chance to do a full check on what is working and what isn't Rgrds Peter > -----Original Message----- > From: Pavel Roskin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 21 November 2001 17:58 > To: Peter Tootill > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: Appreciation for Midnight Commander > > > Hello, Peter! > > > The talk of a Windows port made me get quite excited!! > > > > I have tried compiling on Solaris 2.7 but it failed - much to my > > disappointment (I'm not much of a compiler and I didn't > have much time and I > > wasn't on this list then, so I didn't report back, maybe > this is well known > > already??) > > Please be assured that I would never release a new version of Midnight > Commander with _known_ compile problems on any UNIX or POSIX > system (BeOS > doesn't count due to select() braindamage). > > Please report the bug as described in the following documents: > http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html > http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html > > -- > Regards, > Pavel Roskin > Abilitec - Three time winners at the Enterprise Awards 2001 as sponsored by Lloyds TSB, Microsoft and The Financial Mail _______________________________________________ Mc mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
