icon4.gif   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,

Ok, so I removed the [B]SIZE=xxx[/B] parameter, which is not strictly necessary anyhow I believe. So wait for the next release, and you can try.
