But first, I've pushed a new zsh-5.8 release so that should be available in a day or so. Let me know if you see any issues with it. Now, as to your own attempts: I wanted to ask if you had first applied the patch from the previous release (zsh-5.5.1-1.patch from the zsh-5.5.1-1-src.tar.bz2) before you attempted to run configure? That might be a logical step give that that does contain port specific changes. If so, then that is going to be the problem. It has been a while since I'd roll a new zsh, but I recall finding that that particular patch was tainted. At some point, changes to how automake/configure worked created a cache directory and the source package creation step added that to the patch by mistake. Re-applying it before running configure creates a reall mess! I had it in my notes to correct this, but right then, my life became complicated and I didn't have time to persue it, and since it was just the source patch, and I the maintainer, I figure it wouldn't case any harm until I fixed it. It's been two years now and I'm back to being able to be more active in other areas, including zsh maintinership. (I have to roll a new x3270 too at some point too, but that will take more work.) So, if your problem was NOT that, then, I'm afraid you would have to investigate that yourself. Or, instead, just pester me for a new release. :) Again, sorry for any trouble, but life often throws curveballs at us all. > > From: Yasuhiro KIMURA > > Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2020 08:28:12 +0900 (JST) > > Subject: Re: zsh 5.8: configure fails only on 32bit > > > > From: Mark Geisert > > Subject: Re: zsh 5.8: configure fails only on 32bit > > Date: Tue, 23 Jun 2020 19:38:42 -0700 > > > > > Not sure if your end result will be a patch to the Cygwin zsh package > > > or an ITA of same.
