The only minor oddity of its build is that it requires C99. editline is not as well-known on Linux systems, and rarely (if ever) preinstalled, whereas linenoise is easy to embed in one's project. Linenoise example: http://fossil.wanderinghorse.net/r/libfossil/dir/s2 the Makefile uses the linenoise directory (copied 1-to-1 from the github repo) to link linenoise in to that app (shell.c). Grep the makefile and shell.c for "linenoise" to see the compile flags and API uses (essentially identical to the basic readline API). -- ----- stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/ http://gplus.to/sgbeal "Freedom is sloppy.
