4.2.0-pre-3

4.2.0-pre-3

[Peter Stephenson]

I've uploaded 4.2.0-pre-3 to ftp.zsh.org.

Used autoconf 2.59 to try to improve matters on HPUX.

A few tweaks to try to stop everything falling to bits on AIX.
In addition to --enable-pcre you now need --enable-cap to enable
POSIX capabilities.

Unfortunately my HPSUX 11.11 seems to have a broken /bin/sh and this
part of configure gets the wrong PATH_SEPARATOR.

# The user is always right.
if test "${PATH_SEPARATOR+set}" != set; then
   echo "#! /bin/sh" >conf$$.sh
   echo  "exit 0"   >>conf$$.sh
   chmod +x conf$$.sh
   if (PATH="/nonexistent;."; conf$$.sh) >/dev/null 2>&1; then
     PATH_SEPARATOR=';'
   else
     PATH_SEPARATOR=:
   fi
:  rm -f conf$$.sh
fi

Once that is broken, it can't find awk... and other bad things
happen. Manually setting PATH_SEPARATOR=: then gives me a slew of:

checking sys/time.h usability... no
checking sys/time.h presence... yes
configure: WARNING: sys/time.h: present but cannot be compiled
configure: WARNING: sys/time.h:     check for missing prerequisite headers?
configure: WARNING: sys/time.h: see the Autoconf documentation
configure: WARNING: sys/time.h:     section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled"

configure: WARNING:     ## Report this to the AC_PACKAGE_NAME lists.  ##
configure: WARNING:     ## ------------------------------------------ ##
checking for sys/time.h... yes

For a number of header files.

First compilation then fails with:

         gcc -c -I.  -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -O2  -o builtin.o builtin.c

I didn't build or install the gcc 3.1 that is on this machine - I'll try alternatives.

This is a broken compiler installation, not a zsh issue. I'll get it fixed and
try again. The PATH_SEPARATOR problem is still an issue.

Ah. My mistake. Thanks for clarifying. It appears to get a little
further, but still fails:

Am sorry that I can't offer direct access, company firewalls, policy and

Sorry, I put that rather badly.  You are *not* supposed to turn those on
on AIX, --enable-cap in particular since --enable-pcre was not a
particular problem for AIX.  --enable-cap is there so that if you leave
it turned off the shell should compile on AIX, just missing that module
(which isn't required for normal use).

Turning it on is at your own risk.  I am more than happy to include
patches which make it work, but without direct access I don't see
any likelihood of getting it to work myself.
