Subj : htick issues

Hi All,

I did a fresh build of htick (and nltools) using these instructions:

"""
2.4 Installing Husky on Other UNIX-like Operating Systems
---------------------------------------------------------

To start the installation, follow these steps:

  wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/huskyproject/huskybse/master/script/init_build
  chmod 0755 init_build
  ./init_build

[...]
"""

From: husky/huskybse/INSTALL.asciidoc

If I build with:

DYNLIBS=0

I get a couple of these errors:

/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.8/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -l:libz.a
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
nltools/Makefile:80: recipe for target 'nltools/Build/nlupd' failed
make: *** [nltools/Build/nlupd] Error 1

I don't have 'libz.a', so that explains it. And I found out it's required by libzip. And probably also hptzip...

When I build with DYNLIBS=1 everything is ok, so that is what I'm stuck with for now.


Second issue. When I have these lines in my config:

  set             basedir=/home/fido
  ...

  FileFixHelp           [basedir]/etc/filefix.hlp

I get this error, when I run htick:

  "/home/fido/etc/husky.config", line 90: unrecognized: FileFixHelp           [basedir]/etc/filefix.hlp
  Please correct above error(s) first!

That is strange! And I suspect this is why my links don't get a response to their '%help' commands!?


Third issue:

With this line in my configuration:

  FileFixReportsAttr    loc pvt

The default also includes 'npd k/s'. But I don't want the report msg's auto killed, so I removed the 'k/s', but this isn't honered by htick, the 'k/s' flag is still added to the report message. :-(

Btw: What is the 'npd' flag? I can't find it explained in the husky docs or other files, nor is it mentioned in any ftsc document.


Bye, Wilfred.
