- Sorry to bother again,
-
- i posted an article with the "compile" Problem:
-
- >1) elm refuses to compile with:
- >
- > redeclaration of utimbuf in leavembox.c
- >
- > i had to '#define UTIMBUF' in config.h
- > So the Configure-script doesn't seem correctly set up the configuration file.
-
- after i received some mail, saying that there was no such problem on system xyz
- i finaly traced the error down:
-
- i configured and compiled patchlevel 0 of elm 2.4 first , to see if it would compile on
- our machine, which left a config.sh file i didn't removed.
- Then i applied all 20 patches and configured again. This time Configure used the settings
- from the previous configuration. Since Patch 3 deals with utimbuf definition, and
- the PL0 requires an #undefine NOUTIMBUF if utimbuf of the system IS used,
- i got the wrong PRE-definition in the new Configuration.
-
- Well, this could be seen as "user-error" ;)
-
- =============
-
- Was/is it common sense, that only those msgs should be fed to the (external) pager if
- it's linecount would cause scrolling the screen?
- Used to 2.3 were ALL msgs were fed to the external pager, it was very - hm, inconsistent-
- to see a few msgs in a row by typing <down_arrow> and suddenly getting stoped at the end of
- a long msg and having to type "q".
-
- [i know i should use the buildin, but i love to be able to scroll back in long msgs]
-
-
- BTW: i think elm is really great ---- keep going :0)
-
- Stefan.
