Greetings,

For use in Linux Shared Webhosting, we custom compile ooRexx from the source, in order to specify a custom prefix jailing it to our webhosting home directory.

Last I compiled ooRexx v5 was in it was:
$ rexx -v
Open Object Rexx Version 5.0.0 r11724
Build date: Feb 6 2019
Addressing mode: 64

While on my own computer I downloaded an RexxLA package for Ubuntu and installed it:

$ rexx -v
Open Object Rexx Version 5.0.0 r12583
Build date: Dec 23 2022
Addressing mode: 64
Copyright (c) 1995, 2004 IBM Corporation. All rights reserved.

Do I understand correctly that the "Build Date" is the date at which the code was compiled, and that the "r11724" vs "r12583" is which actual source code release the software was compiled from?

Thus if I recompile from the release "r12583" source code on the shared webhosting server, I should expect rexx -v to reflect that same number, with the current date?

I am thankful,
Michael

Greetings,

I decided to test out the process of downloading the ooRexx source package and compile ooRexx 5.0 release trying to add back the server specific settings that worked with the beta and downloading from the source repository.

The process bombs.

Suggestions what went wrong with the build process since 5.0.0 r11724?

I am thankful,
Michael
