Make problem under AIX 5.3

[Alexander Demin]

I experience the problem on AIX compilation.

Version: bashc-3.2.33.0
System: uname -srv
AIX 5 3

./configure
config.status: creating config.h
config.status: executing default-1 commands
config.status: creating po/POTFILES
config.status: creating po/Makefile
config.status: executing default commands

Everything is fine.

Then I try to make:
pluto-~/bashc/bashc-3.2.33.0: make
cd . && autoconf
/bin/sh: autoconf: not found.
make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 127.

Does anybody have a clue?

There is the same problem under following systems:
- SunOS 5.10 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V890
- AIX 5.2
- HP-UX B.11.23 U ia64
- HP-UX B.11.00

Under linux it works fine. It seems to me some GNU tool is absent on
these systems but it's available under linux by default.

I guess it's not related to Serge's patch but anyway -- really keen to
have bashc working... ;-)

It requires GNU autoconf to be installed...
Just run "touch configure" before "make".
I will fix this in next release.

Thanks, Serge, it helped.

Now I got other issues. ;-)

1.

Stop.
------------------------

Platform is:
------------------------
(hpi2) bashc-3.2.33.0 $ uname -a
HP-UX hpi2 B.11.23 U ia64 1633651702 unlimited-user license
------------------------

Compiler is:
------------------------
(hpi2) bashc-3.2.33.0 $ cc --version                                                                                              
cc: HP aC++/ANSI C B3910B A.05.57 [June 23 2004]
------------------------

I did a little hack patch and it works now. Maybe the patch should more detailed but you know better about it for sure. ;-)

Here it is:
------------------------
(hpi2) bashc-3.2.33.0 $ diff commander.c.orig commander.c                                                                         
2233c2233
<               cmdr_start_file (fi);
---
>               cmdr_start_file ();
------------------------

2. When I'm trying to start the visual mode, it says:

------------------------
hpi2-~/bashc/bashc-3.2.33.0: . examples/startup-files/bash_commander
(hpi2) bashc-3.2.33.0 $ Cannot enable commander: cursor positioning not supported                                                 
------------------------

I suppose I need something like 'ncurses' instead of 'xcurses'. There is a 'ldd' report:

------------------------
(hpi2) bashc-3.2.33.0 $ ldd bashc                                                                                                 
        libxcurses.so.1 =>      /usr/lib/hpux32/libxcurses.so.1
        libdl.so.1 =>   /usr/lib/hpux32/libdl.so.1
        libc.so.1 =>    /usr/lib/hpux32/libc.so.1
------------------------


I understand that HPUX is a pain in the ass but I have to use all these machines from my zoo, that is why I keen to have bashc. ;-)

Anyway, have a look when you have a change.

Regards,
Alexander

Also, I've tested on another HPUX (not a ia-64 where it just says 'Cannot enable commander: cursor positioning not supported').
The system is: HP-UX B.11.00 U 9000/800. The screenshot is - hpux11.gif. It works fine. I can browse, I can see the file names but the file cursor is not visible at all.

Keep going... The system is: SunOS 5.10 Generic_118833-03 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V890
Screenshot: sun54.gif

I guess the problem is similar that I've reported in here -- http://dubolom.livejournal.com/63750.html?thread=472838#t472838. Unfortunately I can install something on these machines into my home folder only. :(

The system: AIX 5.3 powerpc. Screenshot: aix53.gif.

The unix packaging on all these bloody machines are standard without any additional stuff. The TERM is vt100 everywhere.

Fixed and committed, thanks.

The only thing that is needed for commander mode is a "cm" terminal
capability in termcap or in terminfo. You can check it by "infocmp -C
| grep cm=" (in case of terminfo).

I think 'cm=' is present... See the report:

Is it enough?
