z/OS Make-File and Configure Script Patches ??

[Bovy, Stephen]

Hi,

I have a final "done-done" set of changes that will fully support The most-current version of z/OS with Motif 2.1 and feature-toolbar support

Works great and looks beautiful !!

Bram,

Would you like me to re-submit a consolidated version ???

Also I have discovered a problem in the Makefile. I had previously submitted a patch , but thus far, I see that it has not been committed. The problem is as
Follows and is because of the "QUOTESED" variable.

"Escape" sequences work differently in z/OS. Previously some-one else has submitted a path that tries to fix the problem. The patch enables the configure script to set the value of QUOTESED in "auto/config.mk" but that change has no effect because the value of QUOTSED is hard-coded in the make-file at line 2414.

I noticed the following line in the makefile at lines 284-297 >>

######################## auto/config.mk ######################## {{{1
# At this position auto/config.mk is included. When starting from the
# toplevel Makefile it is almost empty. After running auto/configure it
# contains settings that have been discovered for your system. Settings below
# this include override settings in auto/config.mk!

# Note: If make fails because auto/config.mk does not exist (it is not
# included in the repository), do:
# cp config.mk.dist auto/config.mk

# (X) How to include auto/config.mk depends on the version of "make" you have,
# if the current choice doesn't work, try the other one.

include auto/config.mk


Here is the hard-coded line at 2414-2415 >> (this will not work on z/OS) >>

QUOTESED = sed -e 's/[\\"]/\\&/g' -e 's/\\"/"/' -e 's/\\";$$/";/'
auto/pathdef.c: Makefile auto/config.mk

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Either the line above (2414) should be commented (or it should be pre-set as a default prior to the location where "config.mk" is included on line (297)

It would be nice to have the complete set of changes that you tested.
Avoids that I have to figure out what later change nullifies an older
change.

Please include a proposal for this in the patch.
