For some reason, the Gnu readline distribution doesn't compile out of the box on Irix (sgi boxes). I could change the Gnu dist to fix this, but I don't really want to... So here's what you should do to compile tintin++ on a sgi. First, cd to src/readline and edit Makefile.in. Change the line which says DEFS = @DEFS@ to read DEFS = @DEFS@ -D_BSD_SIGNALS Now cd back to src/ and run ./configure make as normal. This should work. If not, please send me email using the gripe command. Sorry 'bout that!
