Hi, I compiled tidy30Nov99 for SunOS4 with gcc-2.8.1 and encountered some minor problems, some due to this old OS and some 'nitpicking'. config.c: realloc seems to be a problem for this machine, as it fails on the unused local static (without a warning to the user). My C is rusty so the attached patch config.c-realloc might be lame. But it works :-) localize.c: redefines ACCESS_URL, which is defined in include file platform.h platform.h: defines ACCESS_URL to http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL, which should have (IMHO) a trailing slash. ISTR some w3c recommendation, that directories should be mentioned as directories in URLs, saving at least a redirection SUPPORT_GETPWNAM on this OS leads to including <pwd.h> and <sys/types.h>, which defines uint (for System V compat). This gives me a warning on the redefinition of uint in platform.h. I can ignore these, but maybe some other symbol than __USE_MISC needs to be checked (as ulong is not defined in <sys/types.h>). Other questions and comments: - I ran tidy on one of my files and again on its output. There it had inserted empty <p>'s and complaind about it. Another tidy run had no more errors. Can tidy clean things up in one run, or does it work like me, when cleaning up a messy desk with the storage space of a second desk :-)? The error occured at a (misused) <P> at the end of a pragraph before <HR>. The paragraph was <P>-blocked by tiny, but an additional <P></P> was inserted. - tidy reports HTML version 3.2 for some files, but in the cleaned version the doctype is set to 2.0. Why? - tidy needs some user feedback in error situations. It took me pretty long to spot a typo in the config file, because tiny does not complain about unknown options. I know it's not finished, but I patched my version so that it catches these errors. - someone should alter the bottom idividual part of the welcome message to the mailing list, since it seems to be copied from another of your w3c-lists :-) May the source be with you Jan -- Jan Weerts for my PGP key: send email with subject "get pgp key" #include <spammers-warning> I know, you believe, you understood, what you think I said; but I am not sure, you understand, that what you heard, isn't what I meant.
