mc 4.5.9

[Philippe Defert cern ch]

I generated succesfully  mc 4.5.9  with egcs 1.1.1 on the
following platforms: 

sparc-sun-solaris2.6
i686-pc-linux-gnu
alpha-dec-osf4.0b
hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20
powerpc-ibm-aix4.3.2.0
mips-sgi-irix6.5

- on i686-pc-linux-gnu, I had a problem with:

 : :ln -s ../edit/libedit.a .

  Taking away -lcom_err from the XLIBS definition of Make.common is
  sufficient.to cure this.

- on powerpc-ibm-aix4.3.2.0, compilation stops at:

: :gcc -c -I..  -I/scratch/happi/GNU.DESK/mc-4.5.9/intl -I./..  -I./../vfs -I./../slang -I.. -DBINDIR=\""/usr/local/bin/"\" -DLIBDIR=\""/usr/local/lib/mc/"\" -DICONDIR=\""/usr/local/share/pixmaps/mc/"\"  -DLOCALEDIR=\""/usr/local/share/locale/"\"  -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -O2 -I/usr/local/lib/glib/include -I/usr/local/include fish.c

 :*:gmake[1]: *** [fish.o] Error 1
 :*:gmake: *** [all] Error 1
 
  Solution: #include <time.h> in vfs.h in addition to <sys/time.h> to
  get the definition of the structure tm. If you do not include both
  then compilation fails for src/filenot.c where then timeval is not
  defined.

- on mips-sgi-irix6.5, there was a problem with linking in gnome: the
  order of libs in the link command is important.

  Solution: for gmc and corba-gmc rules in the Makefile put
  respectively LDFLAGS abd CORBALDFLAGS at the real end of the link
  command.

- There is for all platforms that rule in the Makefiles which relink
  everything at each time you run make... It is a pain as you might
  have done some correction by launching a link command by hand but
  then at next make the failure comes back... You then really must
  edit the Makefile to correct the problem if you want to go further.

Amicalement.
