Yes. I use these files in several other projects as well, and want to maintain only a
single copy. So I have

elogd-x.x.x/
elogd-x.x.x/src/
....
mxml/
mxml/strlcpy.h
mxml/strlcpy.c
mxml/mxml.c
mxml/mxml.c
...
other-project-x.x.x/
other-project-x.x.x/

So both elogd and "other-project" can use strlcpy.c and mxml.c. If I would copy it to
elogd-x.x.x/src and fix a bug there, "other-project" would use a separate copy and not
profit from the bug fix. So I would have to mainain verious copies of the same file, which
make things complicated. I compile everything also under windows, so I cannot use soft
links. If there is a better way of how to do it, please let me know.

Ack, ok, I moved the includes into src and tried re-compiling -- and received several
"undefined symbol" errors from the linker.  Clearly the libraries cannot be moved into src?

Ok, now I see the issue - the tar extract created the mxml directory in the root (not
under the created directory elog-2.5.9).  Is there a reason why these includes are not
placed in the src dir like the regex.h/.c include?

Ah, now I need to figure out how to pickup the new includes.  
BTW, personally I wouldn't take my word regarding the 3.4 errors -- I was simply
trying an alternative version and it is likely that the way ours is configured is the
problem.

Thanks!

mxml.h and strlcpy.h are part of the elog tar ball. When untar'ed, they get copied
into a separate directory:

...
-rwxr-xr-x ritt/lke      15090 2005-05-09 13:09:54 elog-2.5.9/eloglang.japanese
-rwxr-xr-x ritt/lke      17587 2005-05-09 13:09:54 elog-2.5.9/eloglang.spanish
drwxr-xr-x ritt/lke          0 2005-05-09 13:09:54 mxml/
-rwxr-xr-x ritt/lke      45577 2005-05-09 13:09:54 mxml/mxml.c
-rwxr-xr-x ritt/lke       2198 2005-05-09 13:09:54 mxml/strlcpy.c
-rwxr-xr-x ritt/lke       4359 2005-05-09 13:09:54 mxml/mxml.h
-rwxr-xr-x ritt/lke        567 2005-05-09 13:09:54 mxml/strlcpy.h

I have right now no access to 3.4. Once I get it, I will address the errors
occuring there.

I ask because I get a dependency that I did not have before with 2.5.3. 
Compiling with my same 'ole gcc 2.95.2 I see that I now need mxml.h and
strlcpy.h.  Trying to compile under gcc 3.4 results in all kinds of errors.

Well, the same code compiles on gcc and on Visual C++ under Windows, so
hopefully there is no dependence on the gcc version (;-)

I use gcc 3.2.3 on Scientific Linux 3.03.

What is the recommended version of gcc to use with elog 2.5.9?  I searched
the discussion database but found nothing pertaining to this. 

Thanks
