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!
  1701   Tue Feb 21 19:25:28 2006 Question Steve Jonessteve.jones@freescale.comQuestionAll2.6.1svn revision number in the source
There is a variable $Id$ in source that looks like it is supposed to reflect the svn revision number of the compiled code. How is this supposed to be set, manually just before compiling?

Thanks!

It gets set automatically on every commit to the Subversion repository.


So, when we go to the download section and download directly from there, that is not "committed" source? I ask because the revision id there is not set to anything that I can see.

Can you be a bit more specific? What do you download? The Windows binaries, the Linux RPM? Or from the Subversion repository? The current version in the repository, which you can download here, contains in the file elogd.c following line 8:
   $Id: elogd.c 1660 2006-02-17 19:48:12Z ritt $

This tells you that this is revision 1660, committed on Feb. 17 by myself. So what is the problem?

Ok, this is really strange but just an hour ago I clicked on the http://midas.psi.ch/elog/download.html link and I was taken to a completely different webview - in fact, I am quite sure that at the bottom right corner it said "WebCVS"! Now, it says WebSVN and the revision info is in there. I've been trying to debug a problem with default.css and the elcode icons - and somewhere in there I cleared my firefox cache. Perhaps an old page was cached????

I have no idea how I got to CVS, and it make sense that CVS was not setting the SVN revision code.
Sorry to botter you on this.

Sorry to bother you on this.
I just downloaded the tarball from SVN and the revision numbers are set correctly, as you said. I'm stumped as to how I got to CVS. I am running into issues that are related to the stylesheet properties, but that is for a different entry.

Thanks!

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 Big grin
  1725   Fri Feb 24 16:40:38 2006 Question Steve Jonessteve.jones@freescale.comQuestionAll2.5.9eLog Version number as eLog attribute?
When a footer is used (via Bottom text = <filename>) eLog no longer displays the eLog version number at the bottom. Is it possible to somehow expose the version/revision as an eLog attribute or have the version still display even when a replacement footer is specified?

Thanks!

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