Hello J community, I am currently trying to learn J using the 'J for C Programmers' book. As there is no binary distribution for OpenBSD, I have decided to attempt to compile the J901-beta-d source under OpenBSD.
I have so far succeded in adapting and compiling the C source files and have working jconsole and libj.so binaries. However it seems that I also need to port the J library files (e.g. `stdlib.ijs'), but that seems to be harder, because I am still a J newbie. Here is a sample jconsole session: ======================================================================== Script started on Mon Apr 22 21:00:38 2019 alex-x200t$ ./jconsole cat: /proc/cpuinfo: No such file or directory |interface error | cpu=. 2!:0'cat /proc/cpuinfo' |[-75] /home/alexshendi/sources/packages/jsource-j901-beta-d.p1/jlibrary/system/main/stdlib.ijs UNAME Linux 1 2 3 + 4 5 6 5 7 9 i.10 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 +/i.11+1 66 Script done on Mon Apr 22 21:05:41 2019 ======================================================================= J seems to think it is still running under Linux and tries to open /proc/cpuinfo, which doesn't exist under BSD systems. But basic stuff seems to work :) I would be grateful for some advice on how to proceed. I will be glad to provide more information, if needed. Many thanks in advance, Alexander ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
