I am trying to compile Rexx/Curses on Fedora 39 and Debian 12 and 13. The configure works with ../configure --with-rexx=oorexx The make fails with Makefile:77: *** missing separator. Stop. I tried to google the error and only got more confused. I tried using sed to replace the tabs with spaces. No luck Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone know if there was ever a version of ooRexx for older s390 versions of Linux? There are hobbyist groups reviving older IBM S/390 systems and attempting to run older versions of Linux as guests under VM/ESA.

I noticed that rexxgtk.pdf is included with the ooRexx 5 docs. Is it now included with ooRexx or it it still a separate library (Beta) ?

The 2 test scripts attached above were just run with Open Object Rexx Version 5.0.0 r12455 and the client script timed out with a null string, as worked previously on Windows. While I previously received rc 0 on linux for SO_RCVTIMEO, a client that sent a null string would not time out in previous ooRexx versions. Testing with the above version was done on Fedora 36, Debian 11, and Windows 10. Both client and server scripts attached above were tested on all 3 platforms. All tests successful with...
