From: rramstad AT alum DOT mit DOT edu (Bob Ramstad) Subject: diffutils should be compiled with HAVE_SETMODE 4 Jul 1998 16:34:57 -0700 Message-ID: <359EB863.BE47E715.cygnus.gnu-win32@alum.mit.edu> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com howdy. yes, this is a "me too". the diff utilities should be compiled with HAVE_SETMODE so that binary diffs work properly. please please please consider doing this with the next release. i compiled from source and it works fine except that the output doesn't CR/LF and so the output looks funny. the version of diff that ships with b19 has good looking output but it's completely useless with binary files and reports just about anything as being identical, which imho is a major bug for a tool for comparing files :-) -- Bob - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
