- After first problems with corrupted archive files (during ca. 1 day after
- submission) and another problem with zip files being not completely
- interchangeable between Unix zip and MSDOS zip, the ftp server situation
- of mined is now as follows:
-
- ftp.fu-berlin.de (130.133.4.50)
- /pub/unix/editor/mined.tar.Z (108841 Bytes)
- /pub/pc/editor/mined_pc.zip (114522 Bytes)
- ftp.uni-koeln.de (134.95.80.1) (thanks to the anonymous uploader)
- /editor/mined.tar.Z (108841 Bytes)
- The zip version is now only almost identical to the tar version. The
- sources terminate lines with CR/LF instead of LF, the filenames are
- MSDOS compliant, and an MSDOS executable mined.exe is included,
- so the zip file is also longer now.
-
- Due to slow connections between Europe and America, it would also be
- of value if alternative locations abroad of these files could be
- announced here after integration into any ftp server.
-
- Let me add some comments about the compilability of mined:
- After some feedback, I had made up the currently available version
- so that it compiles without warnings with
- gcc -D... -ansi -pedantic -Wall -W...
- which was desired by some mailers.
- However, for this I had to include lots of extern declarations which
- may again pose problems of redeclaration on other systems, due to
- the vast variation of include file contents among C compilers. There
- does not seem to be a global solution to this problem. So if you get
- warnings like "identifier redeclared: printf" etc, just delete the
- respective lines from the source.
- On the NeXT, e.g., I was told that deleting the extern declarations
- for printf and wait, and replacing the inclusion of <unistd.h> with
- <sys/wait.h>, then compiling with SGTTY (see Makefile) and -ansi
- makes it work if you don't mind ignoring warnings.
- A more severe problem is that I/O libraries seem to be much more
- different and varying than just the difference of TERMIO/SGTTY.
- I'd be glad to receive any solutions in this area for machines I don't
- have access to.
