|
1. Applied Bob Rossi and Daniel G's patches to convert the build system to one |
| 8 |
|
that is more "standard", making use of automake and other autotools. There |
| 9 |
|
is some re-arrangement of the files and adjustment of comments consequent |
| 10 |
|
on this. |
| 11 |
|
|
| 12 |
|
2. Part of the patch fixed a problem with the pcregrep tests. The test of -r |
| 13 |
|
for recursive directory scanning broke on some systems because the files |
| 14 |
|
are not scanned in any specific order and on different systems the order |
| 15 |
|
was different. A call to "sort" has been inserted into RunGrepTest for the |
| 16 |
|
approprate test as a short-term fix. In the longer term there may be an |
| 17 |
|
alternative. |

3. I had an email from Eric Raymond about problems translating some of PCRE's |
| 20 |
|
man pages to HTML (despite the fact that I distribute HTML pages, some |
| 21 |
|
people do their own conversions for various reasons). The problems |
| 22 |
|
concerned the use of low-level troff macros .br and .in. I have therefore |
| 23 |
|
removed all such uses from the man pages (some were redundant, some could |
| 24 |
|
be replaced by .nf/.fi pairs). The maintain/132html script that I use to |
| 25 |
|
generate HTML has been updated to handle .nf/.fi and to complain if it |
| 26 |
|
encounters .br or .in. |
| 27 |
|
|
| 28 |
|
4. Updated comments in configure.ac that get placed in config.h.in and also |
| 29 |
|
arranged for config.h to be included in the distribution, for the benefit |
| 30 |
|
of those who have to compile without Autotools (compare pcre.h). |
| 31 |
|
|
| 32 |
|
5. Updated the support (such as it is) for Virtual Pascal, thanks to Stefan |
| 33 |
|
Weber: (1) pcre_internal.h was missing some function renames; (2) updated |
| 34 |
|
makevp.bat for the current PCRE, using the additional files !compile.txt, |
| 35 |
|
!linklib.txt, and pcregexp.pas. |
| 36 |
|
|
| 37 |
|
6. A Windows user reported a minor discrepancy with test 2, which turned out |
| 38 |
|
to be caused by a trailing space on an input line that had got lost in his |
| 39 |
|
copy. The trailing space was an accident, so I've just removed it. |
