4.2.0-pre-1

4.2.0-pre-1

[Peter Stephenson]

I have uploaded zsh 4.2.0-pre-1 to ftp.zsh.org.  (Should probably be in
the development directory but isn't.)

Please look for any remaining problems.  Please also report any news
whatsoever (good, bad, indifferent) in building on systems other
than Solaris, well-known GNU/Linux distributions, or Cygwin, since
we don't have much coverage on other systems and I'd like the
Etc/MACHINES file to be a bit more up to date.

If you're favourite improvement isn't mentioned in Etc/NEWS, or you're
not yet mentioned in Etc/CONTRIBUTORS and have supplied something, let me
know.  (I am making no attempt to produce an exhaustive list of new
completion functionse.)

I used the version from CVS on a couple different styles of Linux, and
all the recent build problems are now gone.  Also, the weird failure I
reported for Y03arguments.ztst on a RH 7.3 machine is no longer there.

It compiled ok on FreeBSD-5.1.  There was one issue though.  Configure
produced the following output.

checking pcre.h usability... yes
checking pcre.h presence... no
configure: WARNING: pcre.h: accepted by the compiler, rejected by the preprocessor!
configure: WARNING: pcre.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result
configure: WARNING:     ## ------------------------------------ ##
configure: WARNING:     ## Report this to bug-autoconf@gnu.org. ##
configure: WARNING:     ## ------------------------------------ ##
checking for pcre.h... no

Although, it seems to have build the pcre.so module.

My system has a /usr/local/include/pcre.h header.  I also tried adding
the --includedir=/usr/local/include option to configure, but it still
produced the above warning.

OK, thanks, I know about that one... it's an oddity between configure
and pcre's configuration system which I think I know how to fix.

Re: [7087] 4.2.0-pre-1

[Danek Duvall]

Is there going to be any effort to incorporate into 4.2 Clint's patch in
workers/16845, to link the libraries that only a module (and not the
main zsh binary) depends on only to the module and not the zsh binary?
It looks to me like the mail thread there had a little discussion, no
real problems were found, but then it was dropped.

Thanks,
Danek
