So this is going to be tricky/painful getting this parser fully
operational. It's pretty hairy with various interdependencies and
generated code.
It's rather complicated how each sub dir depends on the previous one.
Also, the parser subdir has dependencies on the helptag subdir, and
vice-versa, so some hackery was needed to get that to work.
Due to the wierd interdepencencies between helptag and parser,
we disable parallel builds there.
This is some really horrible code and design - not surprising since it
dates to 1989.
I think it should just be removed -- who can maintain or refactor this
code?
Also, dthelp_htag1 is now built in pass1/parser/, not in
pass1/helptag/ as it used to be.
At this stage, these certainly won't actually build yet.
Just fix up the relevent Makefile.am files so that autogen does not
emit errors and warnings for them.
Removed AIX/HPUX support in Makefile.am files. No point in
propogating that stuff when we've already removed much of that
unmaintained code from the codebase.
Commented out all of the Sun Pro stuff. Someone whos using that will
need to go through and fix it. This is mostly in dtmail and dthelp.
In fact, someone who does Solaris in general will need to go through
this stuff.
Next up, we'll replace any remaining 'if SUN' conditionals with 'if
SOLARIS' which is a more appropriate name and was already defined in
configure.ac.
Then we'll see about getting these new directories building.
This patch fixes many warnings from the beginning of the build up to
and including the depend stage. Nearly all warnings should be gone
even with -Wall.
This is a non-POSIX/ISO-C header. It is ok to include this on Linux, but it
is obsolete on BSD; FreeBSD even throws an error if you include it with
__STDC__ defined. Every system should nowadays have malloc() defined in
stdlib.h.
Diff is largely mechanical, replacing malloc.h with stdlib.h where it is not
yet included anyway.
Patch from Ulrich Wilkens <mail@uwilkens.de>
I have a little patch for a problem that I found when I tried to
compile dthelp on 64bit FreeBSD. It could also be a problem on other
64bit systems. The problem is that the program context compiles but
fails running with segmentation fault.
context uses the function m_malloc() which is missing a correct
prototype sometimes. Then it's treated to return int instead of void *
. On 64bit systems this cuts off the higher 32 bits because void * is
64bit whereas int is only 32bit.
Note, there are still some issues with certain programs appearing not
to use their localized message catalogs properly, while others work
fine.
Also, in order to build these now, you need to make sure you have
installed the DE, ES, FR, and IT locales before building or you will
get failures. On [k]ubuntu, at least, you can install these with the
following commands:
sudo locale-gen de_DE
sudo locale-gen es_ES
sudo locale-gen fr_FR
sudo locale-gen it_IT
