Notes on rebuilding Hebrew pine in Linux
1. Software configuration:
Standard RedHat Linux 5.1, except that the kernel was upgraded to version
2.0.36 (the relevant packages are: kernel-2.0.36-1 and
kernel-headers-2.0.36-1).
The gcc package version used was: gcc-2.7.2.3-11
2. Source of the pineh package:
ftp://horizon.cc.huji.ac.il/pub/pine3.96_heb2.07.tar.gz
3. Procedure for building:
1. tar zxvf pine3.96_heb2.07.tar.gz
2. cd pine3.96_heb2.07
3. ./build lnx
4. Patches in order to get it to compile
I found that in order to compile, the following three changes have to be
made:
* pine3.96_heb2.07/imap/ANSI/c-client/log_std.c
crypt() is not declared in the header files which I have, so it
was replaced by a string constant.
This is apparently due to American export laws.
* pine3.96_heb2.07/pico/osdep.c
conditionally-compiled declaration of extern char *sys_errlist[]
was commented out altogether.
* pine3.96_heb2.07/pine/os.c
declaration of sys_errar *sys_errlist[] was commented out
altogether.
This is apparently because the declaration of sys_errlist[] in
/usr/include/stdio.h was changed from the past to make it const.
5. After compilation
After compilation, pineh appears to work correctly with standard xterm,
when it is started with -fn 10x20h (one of the X fonts which supports
Hebrew).
