From: earnie_boyd AT yahoo DOT com (Earnie Boyd) Subject: inputrc _NOT_ read feature. 27 Jun 1998 03:21:30 -0700 Message-ID: <19980626185526.293.rocketmail.cygnus.gnu-win32@send1b.yahoomail.com> Reply-To: earnie_boyd AT yahoo DOT com Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii To: gw32 There have been several posts in the past about the inputrc file not being read; but I don't remember seeing any answers. I've found that this is a feature of the readline library. If the file contains \r\n line endings with text processing mode then it assumes an error occured because the number of bytes reported by the read is less than the number of bytes reported by stat. The workaround is to remove the \r from the inputrc file. The fix is to modify the bind.c from the readline source. BTW: For those of you who might be interested I'm close to having ported the readline-2.2 library to native win32 via mingw32. It's mostly working including tab completion, history walking and line editing. I'm testing/debugging at the moment. == - \\||// ---o0O0--Earnie--0O0o---- --earnie_boyd AT yahoo DOT com-- ------ooo0O--O0ooo------- _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
