Technically 1.1 is still beta, I suppose. I built using B20, so GCC in there is recent enough. I think, though, that libcrypt comes as standard in 1.1 but was an add-on in B20. Another thing with B20 is that I needed to build the /etc/ files myself to install PostgreSQL. I was about to submit a FAQ entry for that but it does not arise in 1.1. B20 is nearly two years old now, 1.1.0 was released in Apr this year. I think that B21/1.0 was CD only in Oct 1999. BTW, which perfect releases have you managed to get of anything? ;-) As to your question, if people use 1.1 there are few extra stages needed. If they want to stick with B20 or 1.0 then they will need to do a bit more work but not much. > > I did not identify anything that was required from the Andy > > Piper Tools. > > From the list I see on his web page, you might need "less" (for psql), > termcap and/or curses might be needed by less or readline(?); the rest > doesn't look like it would help. Any idea? B20 has less, and the libraries for termcap and readline, though not curses. > > The cygipc library is now at version 1.07 and is hosted at > > <http://cygutils.netpedia.net/V1.1/cygipc/>. > > Good to know, thanks. > > > The patch in faq-nt > > has been incorporated, so it can be deleted from the FAQ. > > Do you know which versions can be expected to work (other than the > latest)? 1.04 incorporated that patch. 1.07 included a patch from me that fixed a contention with the Exceed X Server. > Btw., do you know what the -L option for yacc (in the template > file) is supposed to do? The FAQ file talks about it but I can't > make sense of it. No I don't. I needed to do nothing in that area but there again bison or yacc were never called after configuration. Perhaps one of the optional modules uses it. Configure seems to have taken care of things. Cygwin B20 and 1.1 have bison 1.25 and configure determines that it will be called with -L. Redhat 6.2 has bison 1.28 which no longer accepts -L but configure copes with this. AIX, IRIX and Solaris all just have yacc and this is correctly detected as not taking -L. -- Pete Forman -./\.- Disclaimer: This post is originated Western Geophysical -./\.- by myself and does not represent pete.forman@westgeo.com -./\.- the opinion of Baker Hughes or http://www.crosswinds.net/~petef -./\.- its divisions.
