There are actually two problems:
1. In spite of the -o option, the output goes to stdout (only a
comment start, /*, is placed in the output file).
2. When the browser encounters a TAB, it inserts a line break, thus
breaking lots of #define directives.
It turned out that the LineMode browser always uses the LMHText_new()
function, which is used for interactive mode. It should use
LMHText_new2() which work in interactive as well as in non-interactive
mode (at least as far as is could see). This solves the first problem.
The second problem occurs due to missing tabstop information in the
default style. I simply copied the tabs_8[] from DefaultStyles.c to
GridText.c and linked it into the default style.
With these changes, the library can again be built with the help of a
previously installed LineMode browser. As far as I can tell, operation
in interactive mode is not affected.
Regards,
Stefan
