[quote="Steve Jones"][quote="Stefan Ritt"][QUOTE="Steve Jones"]I have checked and can find no reference within Sun documents regarding the support of the
forkpty() function. I have not been following elog development lately -- what is shell substitution supposed to buy us?[/QUOTE]

[quote="Stefan Ritt"][quote="Steve Jones"]Has anyone been seriously looking into building in PAM support in eLog? I ask because I have started reading
the developer papers from Sun and looking at sample code.[/quote]

Ok, I put your code into the current SVN revision (1656). Unfortunately I cannot try it due to the lack of a Sun. Maybe you can try and tell me if it's |

[quote="Stefan Ritt"][quote="Steve Jones"]Actually, what I will be delivering is a new Makefile with conditional compile statements plus the C code module
since the example that I provided need some cleaning. Since I don't have a Linux system on which to test the conditional compile completely I would need
you to do that. Sound ok?

[quote="Stefan Ritt"][quote="Steve Jones"]Ok, I see what you did. I took a different route since I was not sure how the gnu linker would handle the fact
that there would be two declarations of the forkpty() function when compiled and linked under Linux. Instead, I created a separate forkpty.c module and
compiled it separately. Then, if "solaris", link it in. Otherwise, use library "util" which already has forkpty().

CONCERN: Cross-platform compiling at risk, posted by Steve Jones on Tue Feb 14 16:22:56 2006

Stefan, I am concerned that there are becoming too many Linux dependencies in terms of required libraries and header files. Although we have a replacement
for the [code]forkpty()[/code] routine, I am running into many other dependencies, the latest of which is pty.h. Aren't there guidelines in GCC that point
out what is available cross-platform and what is not? For example, any SVR# (System Five, Release XX) based Unix will not include the forkpty() function, |
