Port of ilper for PILBox under Linux & *BSD
Message #1 Posted by cgh on 23 Jan 2012, 6:48 p.m.

Hello,

I delivered on TOS my port of ilper under Linux & *BSD to use with the PILBox from J.F.Garnier.

See the README for installation instructions.

Enjoy.

Most went smooth.

But got this:


[noosisegei@maleko:~/Dl/tmp/sdk41/m41] make     
gcc -c -g -I../inst -I../mflt -I../misc -I../d41 -I../a41 m41.c
In file included from m41.h:38:0,
                 from m41.c:35:

Hi,

I do not believe that m41 compiles. I tryed to start the port, but I gave up because I started to rewrite and enhance the NSIM emulator.

In fact, I have only worked and used a41 and d41 in the SDK.

Sorry.

Yes ! Increase the number of hours in a day ;-)

The real problem is that the first port (in 2005) was done on an old FreeBSD (2.2.7). So, I suspect that some headers or structures have changed. I am now working on Debian/Linux and I have the same errors as you.

I will try to do something... during... this year...

Sorry, I do not have a lot of time to program as a hobby :-(

If I make a patch working, I will post here. So... Just wait.

*hands softly waving in front of you* *pendulum swinging... back and forth... back and forth...*

The gentle voice whispers: "You are inspired. You feel a desire, an urge, a compelling enthusiasm for completing the M41 on Linux. When you wake up, you will remember nothing of this. Only the strong urge will remain"

*SNAP*

Hi,

Just comment the line 45 in file m41/kbd.h

You should have:
//extern struct kbd_data_type kbd_data[39];

With a lot of warnings, it compiles.
