| 4 | 5. #ifdef RL_MAJOR_VERSION test added
|
|---|
| 5 | 27 Oct 2016
|
|---|
| 6 |
|
|---|
| 7 | The above tweak is needed because the yaz-client code is written
|
|---|
| 8 | assuming you are linking against a fairly recent GNU readline (version 6
|
|---|
| 9 | is what we found on Ubuntu). When compiling on MacOS, we found
|
|---|
| 10 | readline was not only the NetBSD version, but it was back at version 4.
|
|---|
| 11 | Inspection of the readline/readline.h file showed that the
|
|---|
| 12 | NetBSD version does not even define RL_MAJOR_VERSION, let alone
|
|---|
| 13 | set it to the value '4'. This led us to conclude the above
|
|---|
| 14 | addition of the #ifdef check was sufficient to make it do
|
|---|
| 15 | the right thing, when compiling, on the various operating systems.
|

| 16 |
|
|---|
| 17 | OLD version of yaz-2.1.56/client/client.c:
|
|---|
| 18 | #if HAVE_READLINE_READLINE_H
|
|---|
| 19 | rl_attempted_completion_function = (rl_completion_func_t*)readline_complete\
|
|---|
| 20 | r;
|
|---|
| 21 | //rl_attempted_completion_function = (CPPFunction*)readline_completer;
|
|---|
| 22 | #endif
|
|---|
| 23 |
|
|---|
| 24 |
|
|---|
| 25 | MODIFIED version of yaz-2.1.56/client/client.c:
|
|---|
| 26 |
|
|---|
| 27 | #if HAVE_READLINE_READLINE_H
|
|---|
| 28 | #ifdef RL_VERSION_MAJOR
|
|---|
| 29 | rl_attempted_completion_function = (rl_completion_func_t*)readline_complete\
|
|---|
| 30 | r;
|
|---|
| 31 | #else
|
|---|
| 32 | rl_attempted_completion_function = (CPPFunction*)readline_completer;
|
|---|
| 33 | #endif
|

| 37 | 4. We've moved to yaz-2.1.56, ak19
|
|---|
| 38 | 26 Oct 2016
|
|---|
| 39 |
|
|---|
| 40 | EXPLANATION: We've moved to this slightly newer version, the newest in 2.1.* but without changing major version numbers, in order to get a version of yaz that compiles on Macs after changes to make (gnome-lib) libraries statically linked rather than dymamically linked libraries needed for El Capitan.
|
|---|
| 41 |
|
|---|
| 42 | MODIFIED FILE: yaz-2.1.56/client/client.c
|
|---|
| 43 | Still require the same change as in number 3 below.
|
|---|
| 44 |
|
|---|
| 45 | Ahead of changing to a newer yaz, we've also made changes to the runtime-src/src's z3950 and recpt Makefile.in files, to grab whatever dependencies yaz's configuration step worked out for its Makefile, and then using the same for linking libyaz in z3950 and recept to.
|
|---|
| 46 |
|
|---|
| 47 | TESTED: bin/linux/z3950server (compile after configuring with --enable-z3950) against yaz-client. Then also tested GLI with Library of Congress's z3950 server at lx2.loc.gov at port 210.

| 49 | 3. CHANGES TO YAZ-2.1.4 TO CREATE THE GREENSTONE VERSION OF IT, ak19
|
|---|
| 50 | 20 Oct 2016
|
|---|
| 51 |
|
|---|
| 52 | MODIFIED FILE: yaz-2.1.4/client/client.c
|
|---|
| 53 |
|
|---|
| 54 | EXPLANATION: The references to readline's CPPFunction have been deprecated. They needed to be replaced with readline's rl_completion_func_t. Refer to https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=741767
|
|---|
| 55 |
|
|---|
| 56 |
|
|---|
| 57 | CHANGE:
|
|---|
| 58 | 3501c3501,3503
|
|---|
| 59 | < rl_attempted_completion_function = (CPPFunction*)readline_completer;
|
|---|
| 60 | ---
|
|---|
| 61 | > //rl_attempted_completion_function = (CPPFunction*)readline_completer;
|
|---|
| 62 | > rl_attempted_completion_function = (rl_completion_func_t*)readline_completer;

| 66 | 2. June 2005, kjdon:
|
|---|
| 67 | Changed to use yaz version 2.1.4. This is also used by the new z3950server.
|
|---|
| 68 | The original yaz download has been added to cvs - this is unzipped and untared by the configure script, then only the src and client directories are compiled.
|
|---|
| 69 | Greenstone uses the libyaz.a library. yaz_zclient.o is modified from the sample client.o, and now lives in the colservr directory.
|
|---|
| 70 |
|
|---|
| 71 | Two files are linked against:
|
|---|
| 72 | client/yaz_client.o, which was modified from Index Data's sample
|
|---|
| 73 | client code, and
|
|---|
| 74 |
|
|---|
| 75 | lib/libyaz.a, which contains all the z39.50 and MARC formatting code.
|
|---|
| 76 | There is probably a lot of stuff in this library that does
|
|---|
| 77 | not need to be there for our purposes, but for now it is,
|
|---|
| 78 | merely wasting some disk space and some compile-time CPU.

| 82 |
|
|---|
| 83 | yaz version 1.6
|
|---|
| 84 |
|
|---|
| 85 | September 2000:
|
|---|
| 86 | removed "ill" "server" "ztest" and "retrieval" subdirs.
