I don't know if Mark H. has the Regina VM mods somewhere; they would be a good starting point. I suggest we put the source for use on VM and z/OS in a seperate branch which is in EBCDIC - or maybe we can have an svn plugin that does the translation for us? best regards, René Jansen. On Tue, Feb

Some of the scripts to create a distributable package for ooRexx are located in platform/unix/macos. The problem I ran into was that between 4.0.1 and 4.1 the install strategy for ooRexx was completely changed. There are also parts of the creation process that take part in the make install

[Oorexx-devel] Question about libraries in /usr/lib/ooRexx

2011-02-09 Thread CVBruce
Hi, I had to add a path to the ooRexx (4.1.0) libraries in /usr/lib/ooRexx. In other *nix systems are these picked up automatically or do you have to add a path to them? In 4.0.1, I symlinked the libraries from /opt/ooRexx/lib/ooRexx/ to /usr/lib, and I didn't require a specific path to

I will put my 2 cents in here :-) mark is correct that we initially thought we could get away without symlinks for the ooRexx libraries in 4.1.0. It turned out not to be the case for a number of reasons. So now we need to correct our error. There are two possibilities. 1. Move the libraries

If you are putting the programs into /usr/bin, then the corresponding place to put the libraries would be /usr/lib. It would be inconsistent, in my mind to add /usr/lib/ooRexx to the system path. I just changed my copy of configure.ac to move ooRexx back to /opt/ooRexx, for Mac OS X only. I
