Hello 9fans, I've tried to get drawterm to work on my Linux/PowerPC machine. I _think_ I have "dt2k". I got it from this CVS repo:
:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/cvs drawterm
(BTW, it was kind of hard to confirm that this -- appearently -- is in
fact dt2k...)
Unfortunately it doesn't work. The fmtprint functions seem to do stuff
with va_lists that my system doesn't like. Specifically, fmtprint and
many other functions try to assign va_list's to fields in a Fmt
structure. This is simply rejected by my GCC (I tried versions 3.3, 3.4,
and 4.0.2):
gcc -Wall -Wno-missing-braces -ggdb -I.. -I../include -I../kern -c
-I/usr/X11R6/include -D_THREAD_SAFE -pthread -O2 fmtprint.c
fmtprint.c: In function 'fmtprint':
fmtprint.c:20: error: incompatible types in assignment
I tried to replace all the offending assignments with calls to memcpy:
/* va = f->args; */
memcpy(&va, &(f->args), sizeof(va_list));
This results in successfull compilation, but immediately crashes drawterm:
$ gdb ./drawterm

I've read in
http://www.cs.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/THM_2005-06-23_Summary/
that "[Ericvh] has [dt2k] working in ppc-linux". So:
Eric, can I have your code?
When will this find its way into the drawterm CVS?
How can I help?
Greetings,
Sven Moritz
