Hi,
   sorry for the delay with this reply but I've seen this message only
now (it has been marked as spam by gmail as it was without subject!
please use "reply" and preserve the subject when writing on this
mailing list).

No problem. I always do. Who knows what Yahoo gets up to. ;-)

hmmm, there's a "delivery" option in gnu mailman IIRC; maybe in your
case is set to disabled?
Or maybe GNU mailman is "smart" and considers your mail address as
not-real (given it's very uncommon/strange!!).

I think they were being held back until the next digest. All OK now.

ouch!!! You're right. I've got VS2008 format enabled in my wxCode repo
but never checked it actually!!
Sorry for the misunderstaing; it's my fault. I've committed it now.
------------

Haha. No problem at all. I don't need it but I guess others will.
I like a bit of detective work. ;-)


Actually I also found out that I'm using the wx presets updated to
wx29 which are a bit different from those in wxCode/build currently
(which are aimed at wx28). I won't commit the updated presets however
but I should inform all wxCode developers that current wxCode presets
should be used only with WX_VERSION=28 (maybe in some cases they work
also with wx29 but I'm not sure)...
---------

Sorry, what do you mean by "presets"?

As a side note, wx29 officially suggests to not use any macro around
strings. This improves the code readability. But if you want to update
the code you can just replace wxT() with wxS() which gives the best
performances.
--------

Yeah. I use 2.8 Unicode, though. Do you happen to know what the best practice is to support both? I don't plan to move to 2.9 until they get a release version out. Conditionals can't be good. Is there a better way?

this is strange... it seems to run fine here (I've got aclocal 1.11.1).
Which version of aclocal do you have?
--------
I have 1.11, which was the latest available for MSys the other day.


Are you sure your acregen.sh is using the correct newlines (CR only, not CRLF)?
----

Nope but I'm on Windows so I don't care about line endings. :-)


Maybe you can try to simply replace lines 35 and 36 with:

relok=$(($aclocal_maj == $aclocal_minimal_maj && $aclocal_min ==
$aclocal_minimal_min && $aclocal_rel >= $aclocal_minimal_rel))

(i.e. everything on the same line)....
--------

I'll give it a go. Thanks.

Gary.
