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 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!

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

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!

If possible, could one use the

function in conjunction with a filei/o function as the means for getting the results of a system call back into a var. Perhaps
char *tmpnam(char *s);
, running a command via
int system(const char *s);
, then opening that file for a read would accomplish what is being desired?


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
