Subject: Installation problems with 1.5b
Date: Wed, 6 May 87 11:16:37 ADT
Here is an item on three problems I ran into installing ELM 1.5b, with fixes.
Here are the fixes that I needed to make to install the new patches to elm
on my machine. While I am running Sys V, these appear to be bugs that would
affect all users (except for #2):
1. initialize.c: change DEBUGFILE to DEBUG. DEBUGFILE is not defined.
2. leavembox.c: unistd.h doesn't exist on my system. If you don't have it
either, all you have to do is define:
utimbuf { time_t actime;
time_t modtime;
};
This is taken from the previous version.
3. showmsg.c: the second sprintf has a superfluous string field.
change -- sprintf(title2, "Mailed %s %s, %d at %s%s\n",
to -- sprintf(title2, "Mailed %s %s, %d at %s\n",
A final comment -- I had three old versions of reply.c -- none of them
took the patches successfully, and I finally had to request reply.c from
Dave Taylor.

Several recent postings have pointed out that their flavor of Unix does
not have <unistd.h> and therefore no "struct utimbuf" definition. I'd
like to add that having <unistd.h> does not guarantee having the "struct
utimbuf" definition. Here's what my Ultrix 1.2 <unistd.h> says:
/* >>> Structure for "utime" function not included in AT&T version <<< */
And merrily omits anything having to do with utimbuf.
