Dear Aidan,
Sure you can have access to the FreeBSD machine. If I can contribute to
the ``development'' of hylaFAX, although in a very passive manner, I'm
always willing to do so. If you can send me your IP address and
possible username in private, I can make an account for you. However I
have to tell you that this is a production machine and although it is
only a small network, it is very precious to me and the users. If you
need an account, be cautious.
Indeed I found a possible error in setup.cache
MIMENCODE='base64-encode' I do not have a program called base64-encode,
it is called base64 under FreeBSD, I guess. So I will play with the
settings for AWK='/usr/local/bin/gawk' or AWK='/usr/bin/nawk' and
MIMENCODE='base64-encode'. How can I trigger that base64 is used
instead of bin/b64-encode.awk? Probably I find myself a solution if I
look carefully. mimencode is neither installed nor a FreeBSD port.
It could be part of a port, I will look it up. uuencode is
properly installed.
Some googling learned met that nawk is a newer awk. "An enhanced
version of AWK, with dynamic regular expressions, additional built-ins
..." Most probably you can install it on a linux machine as well,
assuming that you have access to a linux machine. It seems __not__ to
be a FreeBSD implementation of awk.
