Re: AOL on linux w/o win4lin or vmware
Doesn't AOL still have the access-through-an-ISP option? I recall once upon a time it was possible to for a reduced cost, access AOL's stuff from the Internet. I looked into that--probably a couple of years ago--for a friend who had got hooked on AOL features but was frustrated by not having a proper web browser, etc. As I remember, the total cost of AOL and an ISP was a little more than standard AOL service. Okay, I just looked--here's their description: $14.95 per month bring-your-own-access plan providing unlimited access to thousands of unique AOL features*, including access to the Internet, for individuals who already have an Internet connection or access through the work or school environment. ...now why you need their access to the Internet, when that's how you're getting to them in the first place? Anyway, if you can use Netscape, Mozilla, etc., this gets you around the issue of whether AOL will work with wine.

Re: AOL on linux w/o win4lin or vmware
Joel Hammer wrote: Is there a way to get AOL to work on linux without win4lin or vmare? Yes. Persuade AOL Corporation to release the source code, tweak it as needed, and compile it under the Linux libraries. (Sorry! I couldn't resist that.;-). Outside of that, AOL is a Windows-based application, and there is simply no way to get it to run under Linux without running it inside a Windows emulator like WINE, Win4Lin, or VMWare. There are however, many Linux programs that emulate the functions of much of AOL, such as instant messaging and chat (ircii, gnomeicu and X-Chat come to mind), if this would help. Additionally, some of AOL's sections are accessible using any web browser. So, while you might not be able to run AOL and have its convenience, you could achieve the functional equivalent of much of it under Linux, while avoiding ALL of its problems.

One thing I've learned is that there's a significant difference between
libtool-1.3 and libtool-1.4, and libtool-1.3.5 is the most common version
(you will find ``ltconfig'' and ``ltmain.sh'' in the build directory with
libtool-1.3). See http://fink.sourceforge.net/doc/porting/libtool.php
for more details.
As an example, I was building xfce for darwin last night, and had to do the
following in my xfce.spec file. The ``libtoolize'' copies the current
config.guess, config.sub, ltconfig, and ltmain.sh scripts to the current
directory. Autoconf rebuilds the configure script from configure.in.
CFLAGS does the funny things Darwin's compiler needs. Finally the ltconfig
builds a new libtool script based on what's on the system, and what
configure found.
#... header stuff here
%build
%ifos darwin
libtoolize -f -c --automake
autoconf
CFLAGS=-O2 -fsigned-char -no-cpp-precomp; export CFLAGS

# ./configure stuff here...
%ifos darwin
./ltconfig ltmain.sh # recreate ./libtool

That's much more basic than a glob'ing problem. The program's not

/var/tmp/xfce-root/usr/local/share/xfce/ directories. This is usually an
inconsistency in the various macros like %{_prefix} (which I have as /usr
on Linux, and /usr/local on most other systems). The xfce.spec file makes
pretty heavy use of %defines, and there are lots of ways to get this out of
sync in different parts of the SPEC file. This is one reason I make heavy
use of Caldera's %{mkLists} macro to build the lists of files to be
installed. I basically take the /usr/lib/rpm-3.0.6 directory from the
Caldera RPM package, copy the macros.OL to /etc/rpm/macros, then tweak for
local systems, to implement this on Red Hat other non-Caldera systems.

Re: usb help needed
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Which model is your camera?? I have a PCVC680K and I've made some tests with COL3.1.1. I did it some time ago and the only thing that I remember about it is that I had to download a newer version of xawtv to make it work with my camera. Besides that, just followed the instructions from the driver's home page. Oh, I also downloaded the pwcx module from the driver's site.

adsl modem directly connected to hub
I have seen people claiming that one could share the internet link that way. internet | adsl/cable modem | hub -- workstations | server I just wonder: 1. how one should configure the linux to make that possible? Create a virtual ppp/eth device that talks to the adsl-modem via the hub? 2. is it secured to do so? ___ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
