Expect-5.45

[Matthew Burgess]

New version. No release note as yet. From the ChangeLog in the tarball, I think the no-tk patch can be dropped now as expect no longer requires or even uses tk.

I have compiled 5.45 without patch and that's ok. But with every new release, test suite give worst result. There was 7 errors with 5.43, 11 with 5.44.15 and 17 with 5.45

Then I had the idea to compile like Greg on DIY:

• change the stty sed to include no path (I made my own sed, different from Greg that add one line)

sed 's:STTY_BIN=.*stty$:STTY_BIN=stty:g' configure.bak > configure

• compile tcl, expect, dejagnu at the end of chap5

At least, this allow the new tools stty to be used during tests instead of host stty. Result look much better, I had 0 error in the chap5 packages.

But I have one issue. Symlink from /tools/lib/terminfo to ../share/terminfo is somehow broken. I have a real file with no right

ls -l lib/terminfo
---------- 1 gesp gesp 0 nov 11 16:43 lib/terminfo

ncurse compilation log did not signal anything strange

** built new /tools/share/terminfo
** sym-linked /tools/lib/terminfo for compatibility

I have to look at what really happen.

[Gilles Espinasse]

I can't reproduce my lib/terminfo issue after some new builds so everything look perfect in chap 5 and 6.

I forgot to add that changing STTY_BIN with no pass has the side effect that the stty symlink could be removed in chap-6.6. That's what Greg was doing with DIY.
