Hi,

I am pleased to announce the current development version Harvest-1.7.17.

What's new:

Short Version:

This release mainly addresses build and portability issues.

Long Version:

Thanks to compile farm at sourceforge, I managed to build Harvest on
FreeBSD, even though I get a bunch of RE_DUP_MAX redefined complaints.
Any feedback on this issue from BSD experts are welcome.

I modified the logic how to determine which REGEX should be used.
So, if you got error message which looked like this:

-----
Making all in util
gcc  -I../include -I./../include -c buffer.c
In file included from ../include/config.h:350,
                 from ../include/util.h:112,
                 from buffer.c:86:
/usr/include/regex.h:46: syntax error before `regoff_t'
/usr/include/regex.h:46: warning: data definition has no type or storage class
/usr/include/regex.h:56: syntax error before `regoff_t'
*** Error code 1
-----

Please try to build Harvest now and let me know if you have problems.

It is possible to build Harvest in objdir != srcdir. Just in case you
haven't used this feature before, you can for example do this to build
Harvest for different OS or CPU:

$ cd ~/tmp
$ mkdir harvest-build-i686-linux
$ cd harvest-build-i686-linux
$ /cdrom/harvest-1.7.17/configure --prefix=/home/harvest
$ make
$ make install
$ cd ~/tmp
$ mkdir harvest-build-i686-freebsd
$ cd harvest-build-i686-freebsd
$ /cdrom/harvest-1.7.17/configure --prefix=/home/harvest
$ make
...

PS: Is anybody interested in cygwin port? I tried to build Harvest
under cygwin and it seems to be two, three days of work away from a
working port.
