Re: LYNX-DEV patch generation doesn't change userdefs.h |

Put in userdefs.h:
#ifndef {name of version string variable}
#define {name of version string variable} "2.7develop"
#endif
In my local userdefs.h, I've added #ifndef..#endif around all the blocks
where I am going to override the default. That way I can leave the original
default in the .h file and just add my own define before them. My next
step will probably be to add a local.h that gets #include'd in the beginng
of userdefs.h to contain my changes; that way userdef.h lists what could
be changed, but the only change I have to add to userdef.h is my #include.
My goal is to get to make changes to lynx to get the point where
no modifications of the distributed lynx source code OR DIRECTORIES is
necessary . The reason for this is a Source Code
Management strategies - one wants a setup where one can distribute the
source on a CD-ROM, or at least have a tree that looks like:
lynx/src/ - as distributed
lynx/bin/sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1/ headers, .o, executables
lynx/bin/intel-microsoft-windowsnt4.1/ headers, .o, executables
lynx/bin/alpha-dec-windowsnt4.1/ headers, .o, executables
