Subject: zsh compiling on Apple OSX v. 10.4.x
Date: Thu, 19 May 2005 00:02:36 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <294439D0-476D-43F3-8326-8209C1F3FE9C@chemistry.ucsc.edu> (raw)

Hi folks:

When I tried compiling zsh on OSX v. 10.4, I found that the resulting  
zsh, when invoked, did not appear to respond to arrow keys, back- 
spaces and so-forth (I say "appear" because apparently it just  
doesn't update the terminal display).  Following Apple's patch, I  
configured and then edited the file config.h to remove the lines


     391 /* Define to 1 if you have the `poll' function. */
     392 /* #define HAVE_POLL 1 */
     393
     394 /* Define to 1 if you have the <poll.h> header file. */
     395 /* #define HAVE_POLL_H 1 */

Then compiled and installed and the problem went away.

However, I have two questions:

1.  What did I do, and is it harmful?

2.  When root uses zsh (either the one I compiled or the one Apple  
provided) the problem returns.  What's going on with that?

Thanks.

Bill Scott
