OSX Installer broken

Anonymous — Mon, 23 May 2005 18:19:51 -0000

Seems like the current installer for OSX is broken. I looked inside
the package and it seems the binaries are missing. Could
someone confirm this? A build from source works.

fdmanager works not as described

Sun, 21 Nov 2004 12:34:34 -0000

The documentation of fdmanager claims, that the arguments
for the fdserver should be listed after the server control
files, e.g.

/.../syndaxdb.fdz --local DBPATH=/tmp/

This does not work, since fdserver expects the server
control
file as the last argument and it seems fdmanager tries to
call the server with the following arguments:

fdserver /.../syntaxdb.fdz --local DBPATH=/tmp/

which is not accepted by fdserver.

references to xxx@framerd.org wrong

Robert Barta — Wed, 22 Oct 2003 11:29:51 -0000

In the docs all references point to framerd.org which
obviously is abandoned. As most demos use these, it
is not quite helpful :-)

brico@beingmeta.com seems to be accessible.

users_guide doc error

It talks about fdprofile, but probably means fdconfig?

fdscript config file error

Robert Barta — Wed, 22 Oct 2003 09:11:06 -0000

fdscript does not process -c switches:

Robert Barta — Wed, 22 Oct 2003 09:09:44 -0000

In the synopsis it says -g config_file, later down -c

Doc error fdscript-guide.html

Robert Barta — Wed, 22 Oct 2003 09:02:28 -0000

In fdscript-guide.html is says

[fdscript] (getenv "SUPER_POOL")

but should say

[fdscript] (fdgetenv "SUPER_POOL")

Minor correction to Mac OS X compilation

R. Mattes — Thu, 08 May 2003 10:00:35 -0000

SYMPTOM:

An attempt to compile framerd on Mac OS X (ver. 10.2)
failed due to a missing link instruction. The linker
reports
'_gettext' and '_textdomain' as missing symptoms.

QUICK FIX:

add '-lintl' to the LDFLAGS in the toplevel 'makefile'.
Note: 'makefile' will be overwritten by 'configure'.

FIX:

Probalbly this should be fixed with 'automake/configure'
magic. I'll have a look at it.

Closures don't work.
