From: felix AT laas DOT fr (Francois Felix Ingrand) Subject: Newbie pb... and solution, and some questions and hints. 9 Feb 1998 01:10:04 -0800 Message-ID: <199802090842.JAA00769.cygnus.gnu-win32@alf.laas.fr> References: <199802071409 DOT PAA20356 AT relay4 DOT oleane DOT net> Reply-To: felix AT laas DOT fr Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com First of all, I want to thank the people who wrote gnu-win32... I discovered this package last week, and I was able to port a 90000 lines of code Unix pgrm over the WE, great package. Now I still have some pbs and hints to share: - first, can somebody clarify this text!=binary versus text=binary issue. Coolview says you should use the later. Fine with me, but what is the reason behind all this. I understand this is related to ^M at the end of line with text file, but still, how can that be such a pb? Moreover, after making the mount text=binary, my Makefile would not work anymore, I had to ran gsar -o -du on it. Do I have to run gsar on the whole filesystem? - I compiled Perl 5 yesterday (could not grab the binary from Russia), and it looks like dot "." must be in the PATH, or part of the configure and make fails. - Using NTEmacs, I ran in the pb with ^M at the of the bash input line. This does not seem to be a text!=binary issue. I found a bash lisp function in the archive which works fine. - anybody using cvs? does it work with text=binary? I used it first to grab my pgrm from my cvsserver... but at that time the mount was text!=binary... now that I have changed it... will it still work? - I installed MiX and the X11R6 libs... I have seen Lesstif mentioned here and there in the archive, but no definitive proof of a successfull port. Has it been ported? About the pb I reported on saturday....
