Strange signals.h

Strange signals.h

[Jean-Christophe Boggio]

Following my previous problem, I looked at the file "signals.h" in the src
directory and found it strange.

/* signals.h */
/* architecture-customized signals.h for zsh 2.5.03
 * for architecture "i486",
 * automagically generated by buildzsh -- do not edit */
/* if all this is wrong, blame csh ;-) */

#define SIGCOUNT       1

#ifdef GLOBALS

char *sigmsg[SIGCOUNT+2] = {
	"done",
	"SIG",
	NULL
};

char *sigs[SIGCOUNT+4] = {
	"EXIT",
	"",
	"ZERR",
	"DEBUG",
	NULL
};

#else

extern char *sigs[SIGCOUNT+4],*sigmsg[SIGCOUNT+2];

#endif

Are you using a linux kernel somewhere in the 1.3.* then the cause of 
your trouble is that the definition of the signals was moved to 
/usr/include/asm/signals.h /usr/include/linux/signals.h only has an 
#include  in it. The patch i used was:

configure.in: 348-351
for SIGNAL_H in /usr/include/bsd/sys/signal.h   dnl Next
+		/usr/include/asm/signal.h	dnl Linux, new kernel
                /usr/include/linux/signal.h     dnl Linux
                /usr/include/sys/signal.h       dnl Almost everybody else
                /dev/null;                      dnl Just in case we fall through

It fixed the problem for me after I ran configure again, that is....
