Hi all.
A series of brief notes to square a few loose ends away before the weekend:
1. Bill's getenv bug report:
Bill, I'm sorry about the unintentionally patronising tone of my email the
other day; I was in a hurry and trying to eliminate possibilities without
due regard for what I was writing - I am, of course, pleased to be working
with you on knocking Windows GCL into a state where it reliably builds
Axiom!
2. Stephen's potential fix to Bill's problem:
Stephen, thanks for pointing out that rather nasty bug in
cfuns-c.c.pamphlet - hopefully the answer to the problem Bill is seeing.
The relevant passage should read (warning untested code):
#ifdef MSYSplatform
sprintf(newpath, "PATH=%s;%s", path, dir);
#else /* MSYSplatform */
sprintf(newpath, "PATH=%s:%s", path, dir);
#endif /* MSYSplatform */
Bill, could you please try this out and see if it helps? I've changed the
ndef to a def and the Windows branch uses a semi-colon.
3. Database rebuild:
On Wednesday I had not done a clean and rebuild with the mods I reported in
place - I have now done so and the daase files were constructed and
installed correctly.
4. Bill's observation re the Windows section in the Makefile:
Bill, this is probably the result of my being slightly out of sync with the
Arch archive. If there is a merge required please feel free because, as you
know, I have been unable to convince tla to help me out on this project.
5. The coming weekend.
I will again be out of touch for at least 24 hours starting this evening.
We are, however, approaching a satisfactory ending to this series of
problems which will be worth all the trouble in the long run.
Cheers
Mike Thomas.
