I'd also _really_ like to have a "open link with..." dialog/menu/etc... ;) Great job, Once the cut & paste and downloading are finished, it will be better than the graphical links!

autoconf/automake stuff in CVS

Built ok on SuSE 8.1, i586(686), but lost bookmarks access.

Hello there! I have tested today's CVS + DPI bookmarks and things seem very well! Jorge Arellano Cid writes: [...] > With respect to staying alive, I also think it should end after > closing dillo. Maybe sending a termination request at exit time > could work fine, but I need some time to think about it... One small suggestion is that this termination be dealt with unix signals. I don't see clearly what are the advantages of using sockets for DPI's over pipes (expect running the server and the browser in different machines, but... is that useful?). Anyway, since we're using unix domain sockets, I'll assume we are local users only, and I'll also assume that signals are ok. The advantage of using signals for termination (instead of a "proper" DPI request) is that anyone can "safely" terminate a specific server. If Dillo crashes, or if it is buggy the server may dangle alive. But if you (Dillo or a user) kill with -TERM, we can have the servers set up the termination code inside the -TERM signal handler, and hence free it's resources correctly (unsaved files, opened ftp connections, etc.). If, on the other hand, there is an interest in making server and browser work on separate machines, then I would suggest to besides normal DPI termination methods, the signal termination handler still be used, as to always let the user clean things up when needed. just my 0.02 reais (which won't buy anything these days :-((( -- Livio <livio(a)ime.usp.br>

(now with autoconf/automake stuff renewed in CVS, and the new bookmarks server tarball I hope it get easier to test and send some feedback!) With respect to staying alive, I also think it should end after closing dillo. Maybe sending a termination request at exit time could work fine, but I need some time to think about it... In the meanwhile, I changed the "sun" variable and also initialized "addrsize" as Melvin pointed out. AFAIU this doesn't affect those using GNU/Linux. Now you can download the latest bookmarks server and test all the stuff. Note: the new bookmarks server tarball has a short program and instructions to test permissions on *BSD machines. Someone please give it a try. Regards Jorge.- > Nice work done :) Thanks!

Re: [Dillo-dev] autoconf/automake stuff in CVS

by Jorge Arellano Cid

Hi all! Considering all the troubles we've had with autoconf/automake stuff, I eliminated all these files from the CVS: Makefile.in doc/Makefile.in src/Makefile.in src/IO/Makefile.in aclocal.m4 install-sh mkinstalldirs missing depcomp (as Jörgen and others more or less suggested) and wrote a simple autogen.sh script to remake them. Now you'll need autoconf and automake installed. Ah, as the new configure.in was only working with newer versions of autoconf, I downgraded it to the same format as 0.6.6 had. I tested as far as I could here, and it should work again with older autoconf/automake pairs. Please test it and tell me. BTW, next I'll updtate the bookmars server tarball. Cheers Jorge.-

I think the standard way is to have an autogen.sh file that does it for you. for example: http://cvs.gnome.org/lxr/source/gob/autogen.sh So, after a checkout from cvs, you'd run ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr ... After that it's ./configure as usual. HTH, Jörgen
