HP-UX Patching Kit 2.01 available / Replacing "Search" with "Find"...
Richard Lloyd
Another rapid release of the HP-UX Patching Kit - a new 2.01 release is
available at:
http://hpux.csc.liv.ac.uk/hppd/mozilla/patch.html
The main change here is that Mozilla now works correctly on both HP-UX 9.05
and 10.20. As usual, several of the pages documenting this have changed:
http://hpux.csc.liv.ac.uk/hppd/mozilla/
I've included libnullplugin.so with this release, but with hindsight,
maybe that was a bit rash ? It's the HP-UX plug-in from Netscape 3.04
binary distribution to allow downloading of new plug-ins - is it OK to
re-distribute this ? If not, I'll pull it out of the Patching Kit.
If it's needed with Mozilla (well, it does appear with "About Plug-ins"
after it's installed), maybe this should be distributed with the Mozilla
source ? I'd assumed it was still needed with Netscape 4 and Mozilla, but
maybe it isn't and the functionality of the plug-in is built-in now ?
Here's the ChangeLog for the 2.01 release:
2.01 (14th April 1998)
- Received patch to fix 10.20 FPE problem, so the 10.20 binaries work
now.
- Corrected minor error in addition of +Onolimit flag in previous release.
- Added R6 include flags for HP-UX 11.X (still doesn't build OK on 11.X).
- Added "mozilla.1" man page (very basic).
- Added "mozilla.c" front-end program to set environmental variables before
running Mozilla.
- Included Netscape's standard "libnullplugin.so" for HP-UX.
- During "make install", copy binaries into the /opt/mozilla/lib tree instead,
along with an "optimised" app-defaults file and a null plug-in, and install
front-end binary into /opt/mozilla/bin instead.
- "make install" will now re-try the source build if it spots an incomplete
build.
- "make newpatch" now creates context diff patches in filename alphabetical
order.
- Source modification summary:
* 1 file renamed
* 8 files added
* 2 soft-links added
* 22 files patched
= 33 modifications
Oh, tip of the week for everyone - try this in your Mozilla app-defaults:
*toolBar.search.isEnabled: false
*toolBar.numUserCommands: 1
*toolBar.userCommand1.commandName: findInObject
*toolBar.userCommand1.labelString: Find
*toolBar.userCommand1.commandIcon: Find
Gets rid of the "Search" button and puts the "Find" button onto your
Navigation Toolbar - hooray ! Double the usefulness of your Toolbar
instantly :-) Thanks to Chris McAfee of Netscape for that tip...
