problem building sources for insall in $HOME as non-root user

[bkerin]

I do ./configure --prefix=$HOME/local as I always do and it works
until make install but then:

BUBBA$ make install

Looks like it would all work fineas non-root if it didn't try touch.

Hi there

oops... I think I know what's going on: it is probably due to a rule I
added in the Makefile specific for .hpp files that are generated using
doublecpp (http://doublecpp.sourceforge.net) and those rules, if that
tool is not found, simply touches the corresponding file...
I hadn't considered that also boost header files use .hpp!
Of course I have that tool on my computer (and I install it myself on my
home), and so I never experienced this problem myself...
let me fix it, and hopefully I can release a fixed version.

thanks for the feedback

could you please try this (hopefully) fixed version?

http://gdn.dsi.unifi.it/~bettini/source-highlight-2.11.1.tar.gz

if this works I'll release it officially

hope to hear from you soon

Install as ordinary user seems to work fine now thanks.

One little thing that I think is a doc issue: it seems that when
--gen-references=inline is given, but there end up being multiple
tags, then the inline style is not used but instead the tags are
listed under the reference.  This makes sense but it should probably
be mentioned in the docs about --gen-references.

If you would enjoy seeing source-highlight helping with a sort of
runtime case grapher/source browser thing that I wrote to help get a
handle
on our operational system, take a look at this:

great!
I'll release 2.11.1 soon (at the moment I'm working on providing also a
library together with source-highlight so probably the next major
release will be... actually major ;-)

it is, actually:
http://www.gnu.org/software/src-highlite/source-highlight.html#Generating-References

"There is an exception: when an element has more than one reference
(because a variable is defined in many sources or because a method is
overloaded) then if inline is specified, the generation switches to
postline for that occurrence. "

hey that's awesome!
is it an open source system/software that you intend to release?
that's very interesting, indeed!

hope to hear from you soon
cheers

Sweet.  One thing that would be lovely to see, though its only a
wishlist
item for sure and possibly not really in line with what source-highlight
does, would be folding in the HTML output.  I realize this opens the
can of horror otherwise known as JavaScript but it is pretty handy
sometimes
for reading source.

You're right.  I guess I like graphs because I can't read.

Maybe sometime, its too rough for general consumption, and tends to be
sort of foiled still by the tendency of web systems to be written in
a combination of 4 or 5 different languages (ours has php, C, ruby,
JavaScript and of course SQL eeeeeep).  Its helpful to me
though and I really appreciate the highlighted code views.
