Hi Rony, ooRexx builds on Debian 2.2 so I see no reason why it wouldn't on Debian 3 BTW When is your next lot of students starting. I have a project for them; an Eclipse plugin for ooRexx; syntax highlighting, debugger, etc... Cheers, Mark. ---- Original message ---- >Date: Tue, 18 Oct 2005 09:14:04 +0200 >From: "Rony G.

Hi Mark, > ooRexx builds on Debian 2.2 so I see no reason why it wouldn't on Debian 3 Great, thank you very much for this info! > > BTW When is your next lot of students starting.

Well, the University I am working (WU) is one that concentrates on Economics and Business Adminstration, so we do not have trained informatic-like students at all. What we get are sometimes "hacker-type" students who have learned their programming skills mostly on their own (sometimes very unsystematically, unfortunately). So it is pure luck, if I am able to spot and motivate students to work on ooRexx. At the moment it is a little bit easier, as automation of end-user-tools is something they are not afraid of. Nevertheless, I will be seeking students who could help in such an endeavor. Ad Eclips, syntax-highlighting, debugging et.al.: how about, if we try to get interest in our community for this to happen. Maybe someone knows someone who would be interested in this kind of (extremely important!) work and has some resources available for it? What about people who have subscribed to this list, is there anyone who would be interested in helping the project with an Eclipse-plugin? Regards, ---rony |

Something is done differently during source code preperation and ends up killing the actual make at the very end... it freaks out and goes into portions of the process which basically state "windows only, should never get here...". We are still working through to find where the problem comes in. Closer, but not there yet. Hard with time split so many different places.

Anyone have a successful build on Debian Sarge? I ask because I am failing the make with the following error: Xalan -o kernel/messages/gencat.inp ./kernel/messages/rexxmsg.xml ./kernel/platform/unix/UnixGencat.xsl make: Xalan: Command not found make: *** [kernel/messages/gencat.inp] Error 127 This is with recent CVS builds, but the tarball compiles fine. I have diffed the files, and the outputs, and I am looking through them, but it would help, if anyone had some knowledge/experience with this. --- Mark Hessling <m.h...@qu...> wrote: > Hi Rony, > > ooRexx builds on Debian 2.2 so I see no reason why it wouldn't on > Debian 3 > > BTW When is your next lot of students starting.

A diff of both source trees shows very little differences. I know we have had to manually add that package previously as it is not part of the standard Debian install, but then we ran into an issue that the switches to that program have been modified by the Debian team for unknown reasons. Not sure if he has added it back this time around. Something just does not add up right about this problem specifically when the tar'ed source compiles fine - which the tar'ed source has some steps of autoconfig already run against it vs cvs is "raw source".

Seems I spoke too soon. We have "hacked" the make process to get it to complete successfully, and details of the steps / issue are said to be forthcoming. Too much email for the boss once again. ;-) So never mind my previous posting to the list. Michael Lueck Lueck Data Systems http://www.lueckdatasystems.com/ |

This is probably an issue with file timestamps. Xalan is only required if make determines if one of the files generated from XML needs to be regenerated because of a file dependency.

After reading, and rereading through the Makefile, it seems that the dist-hooks section touchs the files, so that Xalan does not need to run, but apparently that was not working properly on my build, so I manually 'touch'ed the files, and the compile finished. Still trying to figure out why this works in the tarball, and not in the cvs. Since in the tarball, the autoconf related stuff is ran by whomever creates the tarball, one could safely ASSUME that the problem is in that area. I know there is the documentation in the INSTALL file about the autoconf 'stuff', but is there anything else that might help me with a workaround?!? 010100100111010101110011011101000111100100100000010011010110000101110010011101000110100101101110 0100111101010011001111010100110001101001011011100111010101111000 01001100011011110111001001100100001111010100101001100101011100110111010101110011 __________________________________ Yahoo!

I found that if I run 'make dist-hook' prior to 'make' my issues are resolved. maybe want to add this to the INSTALL file. This is for Debian 3.1 Stable(Sarge). After digging, I am fairly certain that the issue in the CVS build is that the 'files' in question ('kernel/messages/*.h' and 'kernel/messages/gencat.inp') have the same timestamp as the respective XSL's, and in the tar the XSL's are older. As I am sure the dev's know, 'make dist-hook' will, among other things, touch those files, updating the timestamps. I am not sure though why it would seem that no one else is having this issue on *nix--Any thoughts on that? --- Rick McGuire <obj...@gm...> wrote: > This is probably an issue with file timestamps.
