In my efforts to improve my use of mutt, I got round to trying
mail2muttalias.py. It is interesting that in avoiding bloat in
mutt itself by using other programs you introduce bloat elsewhere
in your file system! OK, I had installed python as I want to learn
to write some CGI stuff in python rather than perl. I had just not
got round to working with python so this is my first python experience.
mail2muttalias.py told me I did not have the curses module so I got
hold of this and tried to compile it.
All sorts of problems. OK, the README tells me it was only ever tested
with linux. I'm on AIX 3.2.5. I tried cursesmodule 1.3b2 and 1.5b2. The
former gave masses of warnings about stuff not declared and then died.
The latter gave similar if I just tried to compile it. I could not
work out what the Makefile was supposed to do. I compiled ncurses and
put a -L... in the makefiles to point to the libncurses.a library I
had installed. I tried both gcc and AIX cc.
Has anyone ever got cursesmodule to compile under AIX 3.2.5 and if so
could they give me a blow by blow account of how to get it compiled
and used with mail2muttalias.py?
Cheers, Brian.
