- Has anyboddy compiled Elvis 1.6 with Borland C 2.0 ? I tried
- today, using the makefile that comes with the source
- (uncommenting the correct lines, lemme say, before somebody
- asks), and it compiles and links OK, but with a weird twist: The
- editor doesn't get the names of the files to edit from the
- command line. When you type "elvis test", for instance, you see
- [New File]: @#$@%#@
-
- or another nonsense sequence of characters where the filename
- should be. I just used the options as they are in the makefile.
- I'd appreciate any pointers, especially if you have compiled it
- successfully with BCC, what did you do?
-
- I tried to compile it with Power C, and it almost works, till the
- compiler barfs at tinytc.c, because of "string constant too long"
- (the termcap strings).
-
- It works fine as it is compiled. I just want to change a few
- things, especially make the recovery directory the same as the
- temp directory (i don't want to have an empty directory just
- because of Elvis), and make the default place for the primary
- elvis.rc file be the directory where elvis.exe is (reading from
- argv[0]), so that i dont' have to set the "home" variable just
- because of elvis.
-
- There is a weird bug that makes the :set wrapmargin option not
- work if there is a tab in the line, but i don't know how to fix
- this one.
