From: Dan_Newcombe@oit.peachnet.edu (Dan Newcombe) Subject: Extra carriage returns on Perl configure script 23 Apr 1998 01:14:44 -0700 Message-ID: <001d01bd6e2f$34867ff0$13f118a8.cygnus.gnu-win32@moria.rath.peachnet.edu> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: I am trying to compile Perl 5.0004 from scratch under Nt 4.0, w/ the Beta19 release. The problem I am finding is when I run the sh configure to get Perl ready to install, it gets confused. If I press enter to answer a prompt, it seems to assume I have pressed two enters and I never get a chance to answer some of the prompts. For example: Prompt 1: [default] (I press enter here) Prompt 2: [defualt] (It automatically puts a carrige return here) Prompt 3: [default] (Here is where I end up after pressing enter ONCE) Has anyone else seen this behavior or know how to get around it? Thanks. (On the other hand, a precompiled version or OraPerl would also help me get past this in the short run - though I still want it to be working right.) -- Dan Newcombe - OIIT "While we watch time slip through our hands, we're deaf to our own demands" -Fates Warning, The Eleventh Hour- - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
