21.0-b44: configure bug 26 years, 5 months

Gregory Neil Shapiro

If more than two --with-database= items are given, an error is given indicating an unknown database specification was given. However, this isn't the case, the sed command to separate the comma separated list only replaces the first comma. All that needs to be changed is adding a 'g' to the sed command. *** configure.in~orig Thu Jun 18 19:42:04 1998 --- configure.in Thu Jun 18 19:42:17 1998 *************** *** 570,576 **** with_database_berkdb=no with_database_dbm=no with_database_gnudbm=no ! for x in `echo "$val" | sed -e 's/,/ /'` ; do case "$x" in no ) ;; b | be | ber | berk | berkd | berkdb ) with_database_berkdb=yes ;; --- 570,576 ---- with_database_berkdb=no with_database_dbm=no with_database_gnudbm=no ! for x in `echo "$val" | sed -e 's/,/ /g'` ; do case "$x" in no ) ;; b | be | ber | berk | berkd | berkdb ) with_database_berkdb=yes ;;

Re: font-lock-auto-fontify? 26 years, 5 months

Andy Piper <andyp(a)parallax.co.uk> writes: > This variable is set to t indicating to me that buffers should be > syntax highlighted by default. Yes, but "by default" as in "by default if font-lock is loaded." The difference actually has a meaning: font-lock of itself is buffer-local, and font-lock-auto-fontify makes it global for all the newly found buffers. -- Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic(a)srce.hr> | Student at FER Zagreb, Croatia --------------------------------+-------------------------------- Old numerical analysts never die, they just get disarrayed.

[ Cc to Eric M.

OK, I've got several comments here. 1) When I split speedbar-frame-plist from speedbar-frame-alist, I added these properties, because FSF Emacs has another method of specifying the pointers, so I figured that this is the nicest place to add XEmacs-specific code. Also, it seemed like a neat hack at the time. :-) 2) I don't see any particular use in changing the default pointers for speedbar frame, but since it was done in FSF Emacs, I figured that it should be done in XEmacs too. So the "I don't see the value of these three" comment is mine. If Eric agrees, we might want to remove them altogether. 3) If you do want to keep them, they by all means do have supporting specifiers -- just change frame-local images of text-pointer-glyph, etc. after creating the speedbar frame. 4) I really believe :cursor and :cursor-font should be unified for 21.1, providing a platform-independent way to specify certain things. Until then, you should implement #2 or #3 and send a patch to Eric. -- Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic(a)srce.hr> | Student at FER Zagreb, Croatia --------------------------------+-------------------------------- "Memory is like an orgasm.

The patch that changed this went through normal channels. It was changed under the assumption that giflib was not legal to redistribute. There's not a whole lot of point in supporting an illegal library. ... > Jareth, could you please comment on this? Is this intentional? Yes, it was. The latest word I got from Jareth is that giflib may be subject to the grandfather clause and hence usable without royalties.

I see lossage on the original test with what appears to be a phantom left scrollbar with Athena scrollbars.

Damn. The permissions look right. I guess the server is totally hosed. Yes, I agree that the FAQ should be on xemacs.org (as well as in the distribution.) However, before I do that, I wanted to convert it to Texinfo so that it can be more easily maintained, and more easily converted to HTML. I'm still waiting for the latest response from Christian. -- Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic(a)srce.hr> | Student at FER Zagreb, Croatia --------------------------------+-------------------------------- "A Real Programmer's code can awe with its fiendish brilliance, even as its crockishness appalls."
