Hi Andrej :) >> Well, I have a couple of suggestions about zsh since I've had >> some little problems installing it.

Well, then that was the problem, since I didn't add/remove a module. When you talk about 'module', do you refer to the dinamically loadable parts of zsh or other thing? I don't get the point O:) >I guess, it should depend on config.status as well. At least, this provides >obvious workaround. I think that's a great idea. So everytime zsh is reconfigured, those paths change :) >> The second problem is that I need to adapt zsh to our filesystem, >> and I need to put the dinamic-loadable modules in the directory >> $(prefix)/lib/zsh instead of $(prefix)/lib/zsh/$(VERSION)/zsh, > ^^^ >the last zsh is part of module name, so installation directory is >$prefix/lib/zsh/$VERSION Ok, I misunderstood that. >I am not sure setting it to $prefix/lib would be a good choice, IS NOT a good choice at all... I didn't mean that dir, but $prefix/lib/zsh. A typo, sorry O:))) >So, it is better to keep them under common directory. Versioning allows >several versions to coexist. Yes, I know, and that's a good strategy, but I would like to be able to change that. It will be quite useful for me :) >Why would oyu need to force particular location? Because one of my enterprise projects is a-kind-of-embedded-system which has a very limited filesystem, and we want all apps under a 'short' hierarchy. Moreover, our sysadmin doesn't like deep directories (he's strange, but we love him ;)))). Obviously the first reason is the important one ;))) We are going with a patched version of zsh, but we would like to do this thru configure. >> module and so it can be removed, aren't they? >Maybe, we could make it conditional on zsh name? (name it azsh for simple >zsh :-) XDDD, nice name :))). >I do not know if it possible to put zsh on a floppy. On my system (not a >ix86 and with debugging): Don't worry, it fits. It barely fits on the root floppy, but fits, which is the important here. We have removed 'ash' and keep going with 'zsh' :)) Dammit, it's good ;))) Thanks a lot for being so accesible and so kind with my suggestions. A good shell with a good workgroups. Who could ask for more? :))))))))))) Raśl
