Ok folks, the new release (0.2.8) is out and includes a new function: rote_vt_get_pty_fd, which returns the pty's file descriptor. Phil should be able to use this in order to eliminate the need to include roteprivate.h...
As for generating the rote.la file, I don't know how to do that since I don't use libtool :-) If any of you would care to send me a patch, that would be nice. I'll eventually learn libtool but not in the near future.. Best regards, Bruno T. C. de Oliveira On 6/27/05, Roberto C. Sanchez <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Bruno, > > Thanks for the reply.
