John Davis modified a snapshot from one of the old ncurses versions to work with slang. I pointed out to him a couple of times that this was the case, and that the ncurses test programs use features which are not in those programs. (And not all of them compile on Unix, either). Of course not all curses implementations work well with those, either. Last week I was testing with Solaris' implementation of X/Open curses. It ran the animated ones (e.g., firework) very slowly for some reason. -- T.E.Dickey http://invisible-island.net ftp://invisible-island.net **= Email 2 ==========================** Date: Wed, 24 Apr 2002 09:11:03 +0100 From: John Poltorak Subject: SLANG sample programs Has anyone ever managed to compile the sample CURSES programs provided with SLANG? -- John **= Email 3 ==========================** Date: Wed, 24 Apr 2002 11:02:42 +0100 From: csaba.raduly at sophos.com Subject: Re: SLANG sample programs On 24/04/2002 09:11:03 owner-os2-unix wrote: >Has anyone ever managed to compile the sample CURSES programs provided >with SLANG? > [Hand raised] -- Csaba Ráduly, Software Engineer Sophos Anti-Virus email: csaba.raduly at sophos.com http://www.sophos.com US Support: +1 888 SOPHOS 9 UK Support: +44 1235 559933 **= Email 4 ==========================** Date: Wed, 24 Apr 2002 11:24:44 +0100 From: John Poltorak Subject: Re: SLANG sample programs On Wed, Apr 24, 2002 at 11:02:42AM +0100, csaba.raduly at sophos.com wrote: > > On 24/04/2002 09:11:03 owner-os2-unix wrote: > > >Has anyone ever managed to compile the sample CURSES programs provided > >with SLANG? > > > > > [Hand raised] You're not giving much away :-).... Did you need to change anything in the supplied Makefile? I got rid of some errors by adding '-lvideo' to LFLAGS but still get lots of undefined symbols such as _SLcurses_initscr. I don't know whether this due to my build of SLANG or whether there is some other library missing. -- John
