If that's the case, how are they compiling the current nmh code? What's there very much assumes a traditional UNIX environment, albeit one that was suffering from the transition to POSIX / SUS / X/Open / SVID / pick_a_"standard". If those non-UNIXy systems are out there, let's enumerate them so that we can try best to accommodate them. Looking at the code base in more detail, I think it's plausible to reduce the dependency graph from 'POSIX' to 'ANSI C' for everything except the networking components. --lyndon _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
