Hello! Following the advice of Jon Steinhart I have just subscribed to this mailing list. I hope that someone here will help me fixing an issue when building nmh-1.2 on NetBSD and OpenBSD. A detailed description of the challenges compiling this fine mail user agent is provided here:
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-users/2005/12/21/0006.html In short, the configure script has some lines that use what seems the wrong operator (==). NetBSD complains when running "./configure", OpenBSD does not complain. In any case, the "config.h" file made by the configure script is wrong in both operating systems. slocal.c is unable to find the ndbm.h header file in the right place (/usr/include in both cases): http://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-users/2005/12/21/0007.html http://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-users/2005/12/21/0009.html On the first message to netbsd-users@ I submit a patch that does not work as it should, as slocal.c is looking in the wrong place for the ndbm.h header file once the configure script has run. I am accustomed to the if [ "X$var" = Xstring ] then ... trick to test possible empty variables, but certainly the syntax of the autoconf scripts is out of my knowledge. :-) Perhaps someone with a better knowledge on the configuration script used by nmh can provide some feedback on this matter. I want to cleanly build nmh on my computer and submit a patch to the NetBSD Foundation (an updated nmh would be great, but nmh-1.2 has been released some hours ago) to upgrade nmh from 1.0.4 to 1.2 in the pkgsrc framework. At last, I am very sorry for not providing feedback on this issue before nmh-1.2 was released. I certainly did not expect nmh-1.2 released too early and the fourth release candidate of nmh-1.1 worked fine, as previous releases did. By the way, what happened to nmh-1.1? ;-) Best regards, Igor. _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
