lprng-devel Mailing List for LPRng

Hi list,
i did some work on TESTSUPPORT. In the beginning stuff was handeled within the autoconf.
This is now gone what is not that bad.

To make the stuff functional again i have rewritten some stuff. please see the attached
setup.sh. this replaces the defunct makefile.

The lprng code need to be recompiled with -DGETENV. with this way it is possible to
define the location of the configfile  (lpd.conf) by an environment variable.

i found that it can cause interesting errors so i changed the vars.c a bit.

To make the setup.sh more easy i made all *proto files use the same place holder.

I use this feature heavely and have no problems. can you please check that
:lp=/tmp/foo
work for you ?

btw: please send the version number of your lprng also. since we will verify against
the lastest (stable) version and potential bug may have already been fixed.
