I implemented exprimentally such a code. Instead of tmpnam() (which the compiler claims to be obsolete), I use a hard-wired file name /tmp/elog-shell for that purpose. I put it under /tmp so that the "elog" user (under which elog should normally run) is able to write to. Can you please check if that works fine now under Solaris? |
The compiled version runs fine under Solaris9. When executing Subst Subject = $shell(uname) I got:
"SunOS" !!! ;->
So, short of the items I pointed out below I would say that you have successfully re-rendered eLog as a truly cross platform application once again! My hat is off to you!
thanks

At least, not on our solaris systems. 'uname' returns SunOS. |
Ok, what about adding:
ifeq ($(OSTYPE),SunOS)
OSTYPE=solaris
endif |

That would work, but my question is "why is this statement needed at all?" In GNU-land it appears that the make utilities use the canonical names rather than the ones returned by the OS. When I simply comment out this section, the solaris compile works fine. Perhaps it does not on other platforms?
Also, I ran into another snag. The include file "pty.h" does not appear to exist in solaris-land, so I am seeing if there is one made available elsewhere.

In working with Stefan changes were made so that the latest release should once again cross-compile fine, and Makefile also works under Solaris. Great job Stefan! |

I realized that I had an old link to CVS when I checked your previous posting, so I updated that link like 30 min ago. That's why you got a new one. |
Ah, thanks. All is now right with the world  |

[RESOLVED] eLog Version number as eLog attribute?, posted by Steve Jones on Mon Mar 6 18:36:34 2006

Thanks! |
I added that feature, but will not be able to commit it before the next weekend. |

Display legal banner, posted by Ed To on Wed May 24 08:22:36 2006

Hi,
I read somewhere that javascript is supported with elog. For legal reasons, I have to post a legal banner before the login prompt. Can you tell me how to do this? I'm not a programmer, but I guess I could use the javascript alert command to do this. What file would I need to change?
Thank you for your help.

Retain original ELOG id when moving an entry to an archive weblog, posted by Fergus Lynch on Wed Aug 9 12:25:57 2006
|
Hi There,
We have a number of weblogs where we regular archive off 'completed' entries to a separate archive weblog:
Is it possible to retain the original ELOG id when moving an entry to an archive weblog, or have a locked field which holds the original id which we could subsequently reference in the archive?
Many Thanks

Re: Cannot get email to work at all, configuation problem?, posted by Checker Anderson on Sun Aug 13 17:56:24 2006

| Okay, I got it working but I had to change the authentication method of my mail server to Pop before SMTP. I do not know why the username/password doesn't work - it does work with Outlook Express. I would rather use the username/password method, but atleast things are working now. |
