[Freeciv-Dev] Freeciv 1.8.0 pre-release

["Alexander Mai" <st002279@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

just built freeciv 1.8.0 pre-release on OS/2. Build went smoothly,
no problems to report. Even our autoconf does its job quite well.
I observed some problems related to keyboard focus, but this turned out
to be a bug in our Xt,Xaw libraries. (seems to be confirmed since
I'm using fixed libs now and all seems to be fine; however it
was always dependent on the windowmanage I used which is somehow
strange ...)

Only a simple question: are you going to have a directory for specific
platforms ? On OS/2 one might use other scripts than sh scripts,
which may only work in a very un*x compatible setup, but not for
the casual user. OTOH up to now I use only a 3 line tool to set
FREECIV_DATADIR and start a local server&client. And this is being
distributed with the binaries I supply.


Bye,
