zsh 4.0.2 (powerpc-apple-darwin1.4)

zsh 4.0.2 (powerpc-apple-darwin1.4)

[Chris Gehlker]

I'm a rank newbie but I got zsh 4.0.2 to build on Darwin1.4/Mac OSX 10.1 by
commenting out two lines in the makefile that configure generated. The two
lines were:

# LIBLDFLAGS      =  -s
# EXELDFLAGS      =  -s

In the compilation section.

Make install didn't seem to to be set up for Darwin so I installed the
binaries and man pages by copping them over the zsh 3.0.8 equivalents which
comes installed with Darwin. This was basically putting the binaries in /bin
and the man pages in /usr/share/man/man1/

I don't know when, if ever, I'll understand configure well enough to
automate the build/install process but I would be glad to make binaries
available for manual installation.

configure goes to some effort to avoid using the -s flag where that
wouldn't work.  Could you send us the complete output from the configure
script?

Are these locations the only thing that was wrong in the generated
Makefiles?  If so, you can arrange for "make install" to do what you
want by invoking configure as

	./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --exec-prefix=

I reran configure and piped the output to configure.out. I'm attaching that
file. I hope this is what you want. If it isn't, just let me know.

I doubt it's relevant, but I'm running Darwin on HFS+ which is case
insensitive.

That's really good to know. (And it  was probably documented) I just forged
ahead until I noticed that install was creating a bunch of new directories.
I don't want to give the impression that install didn't work. It just put
things in different directories than where the old zsh files were. Zsh
would work when I pointed terminal at it. Of course man was still showing
the version 3 files.

I'm surprised that Apple is still including zsh 3.0.8 with their brand new
Darwin 1.4

I hope this helps. Please write back if I can do any more testing.

But it only makes that effort when it's likely to need it, which is when
it's doing dynamic module loading.  The configure output you provided
showed that it didn't find any dynamic linking facilities that it
could use.

Why did you have to remove the -s flags?  With -s left in, did it fail
to build, or did you get an executable that didn't work?  What error
messages were produced?

That's interesting but shouldn't affect this.  I don't think we ever
intended zsh to build on a case-insensitive filesystem, but I can't
offhand think of any part of it that will actually have a problem.

The compiler barfed on the -s. It produced pages of output without so much
as a warning. Then, as you  can see below, it hit the -s and stopped with an
error message. I'm pasting the last  few lines of make's output below. The
rest looks uninteresting but I'll send it if you want.

Obviously we hit the case when we need it even without dynamic loading.
Now we have to come up with good test for it.

Maybe this bit of zshconfig.ac needs to be pulled into zsh-4 branch.

On the second thought, it is conflict of glob() in Src/glob.c with
system glob(). Such conflict is always bad (and I wonder, is it possible
that mysterious globbing failures that were reported are related).

At first glance it is used just in two places:

  File    Function Line
0 exec.c  execcmd  1760 glob(args, firstnode(args), 0);
1 subst.c globlist  236 glob(list, node, nountok);

so what about just renaming it into zglob or like?

We've had to avoid a few library functions with generic names, and it's
certainly more future-proof.

I'll put this on both branches.

Is anyone keeping track of 4.0 patches or should I go through the log
myself?  (`Anyone' means Bart, obviously.)

Yes it does. Sorry, that was me just being slow to update it on the
stable branch.

It isn't the case here but with some of the completion functions for
example, the files are still identical on both branches. Is it possible
to commit it as normal on the 4.1 branch and then just update the tag
for the stable branch to the new file instead of copying and committing
on the stable branch.

Unfortunately, no, CVS doesn't work like that.

If all you do is retag the trunk revision with an ordinary (non-branch)
tag, then checkouts of exactly that tag will pick up exactly that rev of
the file, but checkouts/updates of the branch tag will still get the
previous one.

You could manually delete and recreate the magic "branch tag", but that's
rather dangerous.

Unfortunately, no, this time I've only been keeping track of the patches
that I put on the branch myself.  Nobody seems to have agreed with (or
at least, not stuck with) my suggestion that ChangeLog entries on the
branch be kept in sync with the original appearance of the patch on the
trunk, which would have made diffing the changes simpler.  I was planning
to just diff the entire trees to attempt to determine what else might
need to be copied, but I've been pretty busy.  (I shouldn't even be out
of bed now ...)

Actually, I don't have a problem with that.  Sometimes I think that
some people are too fast to update on the "stable" (bug-fix-type-patches-
only-please) branch without sufficient testing on the development branch.
This is possibly less relevant w.r.t. */functions/   where it may be
possible to consider all possible permutations, still . . .  Of course,
I'm probably guilty of that too:  there was only a three week rethink
period before I pulled up my last set of patches into the stable branch
so I guess I shouldn't speak too loudly.
