To build readline v.5.2
- download the MSVC project [attachment:]
- unzip the project
- open the folder readline-32
- double-click readline-32.sln
- press f5
- the project will warn you that it could not open readline.dll
- readline.dll should be located at .../readline-32/Debug
The sources that I worked from are available at http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/readline.htm named readline-src.zip
and the original sources at http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/readline/ named readline-5.2.tar.gz
Issues: This code does not work:
- #if defined (HAVE_STRING_H)
# include <string.h> #else
# include <strings.h>
#endif
this code does:
- #if defined (HAVE_STRING_H)
# include <string.h> #endif
- #if defined (HAVE_STRINGS_H)
# include <strings.h> #endif
I changed extern KEYMAP_ENTRY_ARRAY vi_insertion_keymap, vi_movement_keymap;
to static KEYMAP_ENTRY_ARRAY vi_insertion_keymap, vi_movement_keymap;
which may break vi mode...
I had to comment out some redecelerations in readline.h.
The biggest fix was that MSVC does not allow for code such as int a = 3; int b = a; in the global name space, in C (although it does in C++), which is (I believe) not C99 compliant. So, a large array in bind.c named boolean_varlist[] had to be initialized in a function and the function called in each place where the variable was used.
