Greetings,
Ok understood... actually i never planned to drop ack at all, just try to find a quick alternative. Ok i can wait... the good news is that i think locally i should be very very close to build on mingw for windows now...
Now locally most shell scripts have been replaced by awk/sed instead but with my build system... as you proposed a while back i finish the ansi part then i can adapt the build lua scripts to directly use sed and ack....
Regarding em_opt... it was more about the one in modules ... which now builds... i did not test it yet though...
Carl

Subject: Re: [Tack-devel] Updates and issues
It's probably not worth chasing pure ANSI-compatibility too hard --- ANSI C is so limited that for many programs it just won't be feasible. The ack driver is a good candidate. getopt is more interesting; it's completely standard, defined by Posix. so having our own copy only really benefits non-Posix systems of which there are very few, and none are supported by the ACK right now. I'd be inclined to stick with the Posix one until we actually run into a non-Posix platform in real life.
Re em_opt: is this util/opt? If so, there should already be a build.lua in there. Build files are only picked up automatically if they're referred to be another build rule. em_opt's depended on by the plat/*/build-tools.lua file, but all plats use the same copy, so it's only built once.

Greetings,
I am slowly moving forward on making the code more ANSI compatible, I discovered a few points:
* The current ANSI libc has a lot of non ANSI C functions - but i guess this is known.
* em_ego cannot build using a pure ANSI C compiler because it uses getopt - how could this be solved cleanly? Any ideas? Should i put getopt in system or any ideas?
* em_opt library now builds using my build system, but how do i add it to the LUA build system, just by adding build.lua in the directory, it will automatically be picked up?
* the ack executable is fully unixish... by looking at it i am a bit worried to move it to using only ANSI C without breaking a lot of stuff... therefore I am using now acc to build on my side, /fast/driver/ do you think it would also be useful to add it to the build system?
