#101 DEC ULTRIX: needs TERMINFO==0

[Anonymous]

Running on a DEC RISC ULTRIX 4.3 Version 1.
It is a somewhat stripped down.
I was able to run configure with the following :

./configure
--prefix=$HOME/cscope/csc_to_build/usr/local
--with-lex --with-yacc

I then ran the make and had a problem in 'command.c'
with #if TERMINFO and the statements
'case: KEY_XXXXXX'
so at the beginning of 'command.c' , I entered
#define TERMINFO 0.
So far so good.
The next problem is in 'find.c' at #include <regex.h>.
This file is not on our system. How can I get this and
what can I substitute for this? I am guessing that the
static regex_t is located therein.

regex.h is the header for Posix regular expressions--it's
standard on most new systems nowadays, but I don't believe
DEC has been putting out too many new machines recently...

You should go out and grab one of the several free regex
libraries out there. Try the Spencer implementation at

ftp://ftp.zoo.toronto.edu/pub/regex.shar

and/or the packages at

http://unixtools.sourceforge.net/

I'd be most curious to know how your mileage varies with
these two, so we can know which one to recommend in the
future. If neither works (which is unlikely), check out
this page, which lists several others:

Lack of <regex.h> is an issue already handled by another bug
report, so let's set that aside for this one.

Which leaves us with the TERMINFO stuff. The #if that tries
to distinguish whether the OS has a curses implementation
that supports TERMINFO stuff is growing seriously out of
hand. An autoconf-time test is desperately needed there, I
think.
