  • building openxp/ncurses

    Hi maurice...


    Hey Maurice.. a friend of mine started to dabble with recompiling openxp and identified a few files that need extra attention:

    grep .pas errs | uniq
    xpcurses.pas(33,3) Fatal: Can't find unit xpcharset used by xpcurses typeform.pas(495,6) Fatal: Can't find unit xpunicode used by typeform xpcurses.pas(33,3) Fatal: Can't find unit xpcharset used by xpcurses netcallindy.pas(28,22) Fatal: Can't find unit IdMessage used by netcallindy xpcurses.pas(33,3) Fatal: Can't find unit xpcharset used by xpcurses mime.pas(33,3) Fatal: Can't find unit xpcharset used by mime mime_base64.pas(32,12) Fatal: Can't find unit xpstreams used by mime_base64 mime_qp.pas(27,15) Fatal: Can't find unit xpstreams used by mime_qp xpterminal.pas(32,26) Fatal: Can't find unit objcom used by xpterminal xpcurses.pas(33,3) Fatal: Can't find unit xpcharset used by xpcurses

    ..maybe that helps you?

    Also, take a look inside the distros.txt file. It mentions a few things about ncurses that may apply to your linux build.

    Hey Aug!

    Also, take a look inside the distros.txt file. It mentions a few
    things about ncurses that may apply to your linux build.

    Will do once I get a working pascal compiler going. First things first.

    Not sure what your "linuxfromscratch" requires, but the openxp stuff seems to be tailored for debian-based distros.
