Setup script broken

[Evan Kroske]

I donwloaded the 0.1.5 source tarball and ran the setup script. Unfortunately, the setup couldn't complete because ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre/pcre-7.8.tar.bz2 is a dead link. The oldest version stored in that directory is now 7.9. I found the right version at http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/pcre/pcre/7.8/pcre-7.8.tar.bz2?use_mirror=cdnetworks-us-2 I'm testing the address in the setup script now.

I made a patch to fix the outdated URI. I tested it, and it works. Here's the patch:

<     wget ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre/pcre-7.8.tar.bz2

>     wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/pcre/pcre/7.8/pcre-7.8.tar.bz2?use_mirror=cdnetworks-us-2

Hi Evan,

Thank you very much for fixing the script. We also need to update the
script in our svn trunk at,

http://code.google.com/p/es-operating-system/source/browse/trunk/setup

and probably we should switch to 8.01. If you can work on this, I'm
happy to add your account to our project contributors list. Please let
me know if you like me to do so.

Cheers,

- Shiki

I'm sorry, I forgot to say that I downloaded the latest SVN trunk revision before I made this patch. I tried it with the latest source, and it works.

Regarding the switch to PCRE 8.01, where are the regular expressions that use that library? 8.01 appears to be backwards-compatible, but I might still have to change some include statements or compiler arguments. I'll try to make the switch.

esjs uses pcre. If you can run the shell in es/qemu, that should be ok.
