'allo,
I downloaded the 1.5beta4 distribution early this morning. The purely
autoconf based configure system seesm to work fine. All my previous
gripes have been rendered obsolete. I do have one minor gripe though
whioch has to do with autoconf/Makefile.defines.in. How does it define
CCFLAGS ? Is there a way to specify not to use -Wall ? Yes, yes I know
that its a good thing to use -Wall but it seems to generate a lot of
X11R6.3 header file problems for every source file being compiled. I
just went and commented out the @CCFLAGS@ in there. Thsi took care of
things for me for the time being.
There is no src/Script/Compiler/yy.tab.h file nor is there a
src/Script/Compiler/types.h file. They do exist in the src/Script
directory though and I was wondering if they could be used instead ? If
not can someone put up the files on the ftp site ?
After getting it compiled and installed, AfterStep starts up three
xterms, and that is about all I see ... the entire system is hung. I get
no mouse interaction, none of the windows moves when I try to drag it,
I get no root menu when I try either button1, 2, 3 on the root window.
It just stays hung. The last AfterStep I was using was 1.4.55N6.
thanks,
mehul
