Hello, All! I've failed to utilize direct WAIS access support in libwww-5.0a (libwww-5.1* just don't work for me on Linux --- they fail in deadloop). HTWAIS.c in libwww-5.0a appeared to be 2 year old --- last change note was dated by 1995, so I decided to try to adapt it to current 5.0a. The attached file w3c-libwww-5.0a.QL.gz is the compressed diffs I've made to libwww-5.0a. There was no HTWAIS.h in 5.0a at all and I just got one from libwww-5.1b. I have not corrected autoconfiguration stuff in the top directory (main `configure' script), as I beleived libwww maintainers knew better how to make proper changes to it. To include direct WAIS access stuff in libwww one should provide `--with-wais' command line option to main libwww `configure' script AND set CFLAGS and WAISPATH environment variables as described below: E.g. if freeWAIS distribution is in /tmp/freeWAIS-0.5/ then one should set these variables in `configure' environment to: WAISPATH="/tmp/freeWAIS-0.5/" CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -I/tmp/freeWAIS-0.5/" Hope you will find my patch usefull and improve it. Thank you. -- QingLong Yggdrasil Computing, Incorporated +1 408 261-6630 "Free Software For The Rest of US."
