Hello, I'm trying to compile amaya for OS/2 using XFree86 & Lesstif. Don't know whether it's desired to receive patches from people "like me" but anyway I can't provide final diffs yet. But I can make some suggestions which are useful for other ports, too. And yes, "check" means add the few lines to configure(.in) 1) Check for existence of strcasecmp(). I have only stricmp() 2) Who invented this crazy check for Motif by searching files with given names in pre-defined directories ??? (hmm, I'm aware that it may sound very offending, but I really can't imagine a reason for this method) Please use the standard method of checking for headers and libs! 3) Check for M_PI and M_PI2 4) Check for lstat(), on my sys is only stat() available. This obviously a non-un*x problem, but OTOH amaya seems to support other platforms as well, so this may justify this. ALso that's the reason why one uses configure ;-) 5) Why don't you bundle libwww 5.1x instead of an (probably?) older version ? Hmm, I'm still not through all sources but these few topics are 99% of the problems occurring on a first run (haven't checked for other un*xisms so far which may just compile but fail later ...)
