How ready are we for 1.1.4?

2000-01-26 Thread Lars Gullik Bjønnes


It seems to me that we have managed to remove the worst bugs and is
absolutely no worse off than 1.1.3.

I know there are some space issues, and some "update dvi" reports, I
do not understand how this happens and have failed at reproducing
this...

Are the configure problems resolved?

If there are no further problems I'd like to release 1.1.4 friday.

How ready are we for 1.1.4?

2000-01-28 Thread Michael Schmitt

Hi Lars,

the space problem seems to be fixed now thanks to a correction by Jean
Marc. I still encounter the problem that the checksums for the
dependency file are not computed correctly. As far as I understand the
number in the debug output extract below should not be the same all the
time. In addition, I posted a few new Purify messages to the mailing
list last night. Maybe somebody should take a look at atleast the first
message. Apart from that I think you are ready for 1.1.4.

Michael

Those might or might not be important problems. We'll find out
quickly, for sure %-|

No, I've been lazy. But they only concern the new --with-lyxname option.

I've been wanting to apply Roland patch for the cygwin port, but I did
not have time today. Feel free to do it.

True. Off the top of my head I can only think of a 32->64 bit problem.

I work on an UltraSPARC with Sun Solaris 7. According to my system
administrator the UltraSPARC is a 64Bit-Prozessor but we use the 32Bit
version of Solaris 7. According to a little C program using the sizeof
operator the size of the data types is as follows: short = 2 bytes, int
= 4 bytes, long = 4 bytes, long long = 8 bytes.

I would have expected that Jean Marc has the same problem when he runs
Lyx on the DEC platform (isn't Alpha a true 64bit platform?).

Ok, so it is not that then.
I am wondering what goes wrong in lyxsum...
Are you able to dig a bit into that one?

Hmm, but different compilers and libs might unveil bugs not
encountered on other systems.

Yes it is. And long is 64bits here, which causes interesting
problems...

Hi Lars,

I took a look at lyxsum.C and first of all I found out that the
MODERN_STL_STREAMS part has been compiled. The ifs is opened correctly
first. However, for some strange reason readsome returns 0 characters
which explains why I always get the same result. From my point of view
it seems like readsome is broken. I checked for another place within Lyx
but "readsome" is used only once in the whole program. When I developed
a simple C++ program on my own, readsome failed again. Unfortunately, I
am not able to debug readsome for the moment. So I will have to live
with that problem until after the release of 1.1.4 (it's not a tragedy)
