[Java-readline-devel] Re: java-readline & Mac OSX

[Bernhard B. <ma...@ba...>]

Hi Alan,

I just uploaded the modified makefiles to cvs - you might want to have a try, 
since I modified them extensively (now there is a var OS_FLAVOR like you 
suggested: running "make world OS_FLAVOR=MAC" should do it). Please let me 
know if you find some time to test it. As soon as I fix the remaining problem 
with Getline, I will prepare a new release.

Thanks, Bernhard
