Re: [Simh] simh OS X missing dependencies with brew packages

[Mark Pizzolato]

Ahh… Great!

Not being an OS X/HomeBrew user, I searched for it with the wrong command.

Thanks.

It's part of homebrew-core, so you shouldn't need to "tap" anything special to 
get this:

   https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/sdl2_ttf.rb

If the "install" command fails for you, what does the "search" command give?

Re: [Simh] Printer on TOPS-10

[Timothe Litt]

I don't think that my advanced printer code was merged into the master fork.

This is what works for me:

set lp20 enable
set lp20 printer=lp07b
attach -S lp20 form=graybar
image=c:\Users\timothe\Documents\GitHub\Run\Form_BG_Grayscale.jpg
c:\Users\timothe\Documents\GitHub\Run\Spool\SAM.lpt.pdf

You probably just need the "set lp20 enable".

[Simh] Printer on TOPS-10

[Quentin North]

Possibly a silly question, but does anyone know how to get the printer to work 
on TOPS-10 on simh? I have attached a printer files to the printer device but 
the printer and the spooler fills up with output on TOPS-10, but the the 
printer stays offline in TOPS-10 and I cant find out how to get it online.

My startup scripts as follows:
set tim y2k
att rp0 disks/t10.dsk
att lp20 printer.out
set dz 8b
att -am dz 2020
boot rp0

When I get TOPS-10 up and try to print I can’t seem to get it to do anything:

The unfortunate problem with OSX is that there are several Unix package systems 
-- brew and fink and possibly others.  And they are different.  And they keep 
stuff isolated from OSX so you end up with duplicate copies of stuff.

It is perfectly straightforward to do a standard install on various packages, 
which lands them in the GNU standard prefix /usr/local.  So for those of us who 
prefer to do it that way rather than mess with unhelpful tools, it would be 
nice if SIMH would understand this.

[Simh] simh OS X missing dependencies with brew packages

[Mark Pizzolato]

Now that brew is supported for simh package dependencies, it turns 
out that not all simulator functionality can be realized with the current
set of available packages on brew.  Specifically, the besm6 simulator's
front panel needs sdl ttf support.  On Linux (Ubuntu) this is provided 
by the libsdl2-ttf-dev package.  Maybe someone here can influence 
the brew package maintainers to also add the OS X equivalent package 
to brew's library...
