lynx-dev "configure" advice needed |

Hello, Lyncei,
As I work on my patch for Lynx on a non-ASCII system, I
have put the following in config.hin:
+ #undef NOT_ASCII
+ #if '0'!=48 /* S/390 -- gil -- 1404 */
+ #define NOT_ASCII 1
+ #if '0'==240
+ #undef EBCDIC
+ #define EBCDIC 1
+ #else
+ #error "Unknown character set"
+ #endif
+ #endif
I now realize this is poorly done; the script that extracts
the configuration definitions is not sensitive to the
compile-time conditionals. But the C compiler makes these
tests easily, and I know of no simple way to make the same test
in a shell script. Can anyone suggest a clever way to do
this test at "configure" time? Should I add a C program
to the suite to emit the lines?
Thanks,
gil
