Congrats.

Never thought you would finish it so quickly!

I'm sure there will be more things added over time, as I spot issues with different MIME-types, character sets, etc.

But unless people report issues I think it is "done enough". I'll keep working on it, as I spot things that are annoying, but it is usable and has been for a while now.

Hi Steve and congrats on the job.
Would you say snapshot 0.12¹ is stable enough?

[1] - http://lumail.org/download/lumail-0.12.tar.gz

I'd say 0.12 is good, but 0.13 will be better and that will be released this evening!

Hello again, I noticed 0.13 is already available, but I'm having problems building it, check my mock build.log:
http://paste.fedoraproject.org/25622/73972689/
(the seds are there because there's no lua5.1 in Centos 6 and the path for the header files is wrong).

0.12 gives a different error:
http://paste.fedoraproject.org/25623/73972859/

Any pointers?

Try this patch:

That's an annoyance :(

Thanks, that seems to fix the screen.cc issue, but hit another build problem, pcre (v7.8) related:

http://paste.fedoraproject.org/25638/39766071/

Seems like you have " -lcurses -lmimetic", which causes it to link to curses and libmimetic, respectively.

You're missing "-lpcrecpp -lpcre".

The supplied makefile calls this:

shelob ~ $ pcre-config --libs-cpp
-L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -lpcrecpp -lpcre

So it looks like you're missing a pcre-config command, and that is silently causing you to not link to pcre.

Does that help point you in the right direction?

Steve,

Seems like the problem is the bundled pcre-config does not know about --libs-cpp parameter, probably too old version.
Can you suggest any workarounds?

[mockbuild@rpmbuilder lumail-0.13]$ pcre-config --libs-cpp
Usage: pcre-config [--prefix] [--exec-prefix] [--version] [--libs] [--libs-posix] [--cflags] [--cflags-posix]

The obvious thing to try would either be using "--libs", or just hard-wiring the libraries in the Makefile.

Yes, I already tried just --libs, forgot to mention it, does not fix the problem.
Hard-wiring the libs in the Makefile seems a bit over my knowledge, I'd appreciate any help here.

Well the error is clear; you're getting undefined references to pcre-code.

So we need to link to libpcre. I'd try adding "-lpcre -lpcrecpp". This is assuming you've got libpcre3-dev, or whatever the package is called, present.

If that doesn't fix it I'm a little stumped because I'm not familiar with Fedora.

It doesn't feel like it should be too hard to fix, but without access to such a system I'm running out of things to suggest..

Thanks, Steven, that worked.
Do you think the "official" Makefile can be modified to fix this issue or should I add one more sed line to my spec file?

I suspect the best thing to do is to setup flags via pcre-config, and if that fails just default to "-lpcre -lpcrecpp".

I'll think it over tonight.

Glad you got there though; and if you hit problems do report them in the github tracker / mail me directly.
