Hello,
I have tried the new versions of bash, readline and less with the UTF-8
book.
Results:
less-394 specifically looks for -lncursesw in addition to -lncurses.
Also it started to use the nl_langinfo() function, which means that the
following text in the UTF-8 book is now wrong (chapter07/profile.html):
Some applications (e.g., "less") cannot handle the various synonyms
correctly (e.g. require that "UTF-8" is written as "UTF-8", not
"utf8"), so it is safest in most cases to choose the canonical name
for a particular locale.
i.e. I have to insert some other example here.
Readline-5.1 compiles and works, and even passes my test with erasing
multibyte characters from the middle of the command line. This paragraph
is no longer true:
E.g., erasing non-ASCII characters with the "backspace" key in UTF-8
locales produces garbage on the screen if the prompt contains
invisible characters. Thus, use of colors in bash prompt in UTF-8
locales is not recommended.
The LiveCD is still buggy because it uses readline-5.0 and colors in
bash prompt. Please upgrade so that I can pick this up for my UTF-8 book
and fix the LiveCD bug.
bash-3.1 works here, but Greg Schafer noticed a bug in tcl exposd by the
new bash:
checking if 64bit support is requested... no
checking if 64bit Sparc VIS support is requested... no
checking system version (for dynamic loading)... ./configure: line 7653:
syntax error near unexpected token `)'
./configure: line 7653: ` OSF*)'
The suggested solution is:
cd unix
sed -i.bak "s/relid'/relid/" configure
