Bug#312740: Request regarding ROTE library
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
