Any automake/autoconf >gurus out there that want to take the job ?? Consider that GtkXmHTML cannot be compiled on linux libc5 systems (or generally systems without thread support) because it needs the threaded version of strok() strtok_r(). The latter one is new in glibc2 (aka libc6) an for the gnome system it is doubled in gnomesupport. So to make GtkXmHTML compile on systems without strtok_r() and without gnomesupport, we have to make our own copy of this function. Maybe it is necessary to patch the gtkxmhtml-Source to avoid the use of strtok_r() on systems without thread support. An easy solution for the guis that habe gnome installed ist to add `-lgnomesupport' to GTKXMHTML_LIB in plug-ins/helpbrowser/Makefile > > >Salut, Sven Uwe -- mailto:koloska@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://rcswww.urz.tu-dresden.de/~koloska/ -- -- right now the web page is in german only but this will change as time goes by ;-)
