Hi Seems my experiences with nano not compiling OOTB are somewhat less then I was expecting ... I guess the stable branch really is more stable then CVS ... :P however I do have one problem - or possibly a choice - it will compile and work fine straight away if i configure with --with-included-gettext however this seems sort of unnescery since gettext is part of cygwin, it also makes the final package a little bigger. Without included-gettext I get linker problems which are the result of configure generating a makefile which does not have -lintl in its libs list. It checks for whether it needs -lintl says yes twice and then doesnt generate a makefile that uses it. I could manually 'hack' the makefile.in so that it uses -lintl, but thats messy, and is certainly not a patch I could send back upstream. So I therefore tried to understand configure.in which sent me to aclocal.m4 in which I found the code which I think is supposed to do the job. Found some m4 code which looks really dodgy (nested AC_CHECK_LIB for same library) - but my knowledge of m4 is purely pick it up as I read it ... and certainly not 'fix' it yet. Choices 1. with-included-gettext 2. dodgy hack which I will fix up later when I understand m4 ... 3. wait ... probably a while until I understand m4 before releasing the first version... I am inclinded to go with no 2. but I am new at this game so I thought some experience might rain down on me if I posted this up.
