Get the configure script from CVS, and type: touch configure, it worked for me. -- Registered Linux user #298569 Always borrow money from a pessimist; he doesn't expect to be paid back.

Which is not a good variable name, when you want to compile it on solaris (solaris c library headers contain something like #define sun 1).

autoconf/automake stuff in CVS

by Jorge Arellano Cid

Hi there! Sometime ago someone suggested removing some configuration files from the CVS. Considering all the trouble those files generate (to allow compiling by just: ./configure; make), it looks as a good idea. I'd remove: Makefile.in doc/Makefile.in src/Makefile.in src/IO/Makefile.in config.h.in configure From then, after checkout, you should run: autoheader; autoconf; automake; ./configure; make some more steps, but a lot less trouble! If someone knows beter, please say so. I haven't removed the files yet and will wait for a replay before changing it. Cheers Jorge.-

Everything compiled without problems on i686 GNU/Linux. I got one problem: the bm_srv12 displayed the following when it was attempted to open the bookmark page: bm_srv12: accepting connections... [accept]: Invalid argument checking why, I found the bug was that the accept() function was called with an uninitialized *addrlen (third) argument.

That is, unless I missed something. " NOTES In the Linux implementation, sockets which are visible in the filesystem honour the permissions of the directory they are in. Their owner, group and their permissions can be changed. Creation of a new socket will fail if the process does not have write and search (execute) permis sion on the directory the socket is created in. Connect ing to the socket object requires read/write permission. This behavior differs from many BSD derived systems which ignore permissions for Unix sockets. Portable programs should not rely on this feature for security. " However, I do not have any suggestions here. Farvel (Danish: Farewell) -- Melvin Hadasht

Very close to a new release!

by Jorge Arellano Cid

Hi there! It's been a hard time for me trying to get an Internet connection from where I'm temporary living now. That's the main reason for my abscence (as anticipated). Well, I kept working on the plugins stuff and it shows. Now the CVS has the new code (with unix domain sockets) and the CVS.html page holds the new bookmarks-server tarball. Now dillo launches it automatically and before the release the dpi code for the bookmarks server will be a part of the main tarball. The point is: testing it. Sadly I didn't received more than a single comment of its working. Now I'm asking again: please download the latest CVS, the bookmarks server, intall them, play with them, test and report how it works for you. I want to know how the whole thing looks and feels before making the release. This should be a short span, depending on feedback. Ah, if someone here has NFS mounted accounts (from another machine), I want to know how it works there. As unix domain sockets are accessible only to the local machine, and it listens on /tmp, it should work, but we need the proof! That's all by now guys. I'll be expecting your feedback! Cheers* Jorge.- PS: I'll try to answer some pending issues, but roughly, this CVS plus some cosmetic will be 0.7.0. Pending patches will go to 0.7.1.
