Uninteresting patches for hspell-1.0
Dear List,
as a long-term hater of building in source directories,
I've patched the hspell Makefile.in (and a few other bits and pieces)
to allow building in a separate directory, in the Autotools way.
If there's a source repository against which I could check for recent
changes, I've missed it. I'm therefore patching against the 1.0 release.
I introduce two new dependencies:
(a) I use VPATH. Really, separate building is ugly as sin without it.
Merely defining it is harmless enough, of course, the point is that
the 'make' utility must respond to it - that, or just build in the
source directory (ugh) as before.
(b) A redundant small change, but I prefer it:
I use 'install' to put everything where I want it. This allows me
to collapse the cp / chmod sequences into single safe calls.
If you prefer to avoid this extra dependency, go back to cp and chmod,
but don't get rid of the extra $(SRCDIR)/ mini-paths I've added!
A separate patch cleans up a handful of miscellaneous warnings.
Tcl_DeleteHashTable() was recklessly called without a prototype,
and in fact was being mis-called, with an unused extra argument.
The patches are bzipped to avoid damage in transit. The patches
themselves use UN*X-style LF line-breaks. Extra copies of the
bzipped patches should be available for the foreseeable future in
http://www.brenda-arkle.demon.co.uk/patches/hspell/
Happy patching...
Bernard Leak.
