First time I'm playing with an array language, but the klong-intro.txt
file seems a nice introduction.
Now, regarding the port, you can avoid patching the Makefile by using
MAKE_FLAGS:
MAKE_FLAGS += CFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
Regarding the other patch, some nits:
- I'm not a klong user but I'd remove "lib" from DFLPATH and just
leave ".:/usr/local/lib/klong". I guess 'lib' is there so folks
can use it when building and running from the tarball.
- "accept Backspace as delete" is misleading, since you're making the
delete character to behave like a backspace :P
(you could have written '?' + '@' instead of 127 to match the style :P)
- since you're patching sys_randnum anyway I would have used
arc4random_uniform. I haven't thought if it's correct.
otherwise it looks fine to me and it seems a fun language. I'm
attaching an updated tarball that address above points that's ok op@
to import.
Thanks!
P.S.: I don't know what the current stace regarding hardcoded paths
is. Is it fine to hardcode /usr/local/lib/klong or we should do
the SUBST_CMD dance?
