here we go...
Ok guys, if you're into this, so am I. I'm gonna start by trying
to port KGI to Roadrunner. So, what do I do first? :/ First off, I'm
using the 1.0 release of degas. I think I will go from something stable
to start off with.
I'm looking at kgi/driver and the configure script. Not quite sure
what it does and I'm running BSD so of course it doesn't work. When
I run it I get the following output to stderr:
type: not found
dialog: not found
cat: /tmp/ggiset: No such file or directory
and the following helpful output to stdout:
^[[H^[[2J
What exactly is this script doing and can I change the script somehow to
make it work under BSD?
It looks like I need to somehow build things that are in various
subdirectories, ramdac, chipset, graphic, clock, kernel, and monitor.
Now, it looks like I need to do this configure thing before I try any
of these.
One thing I do know, when I finally come down to compiling the various
C and assembly files, I will need to use my own set of header files.
This will probably require some #ifdef'ing around the Linux header files.
This is probably something that will be a general problem for different
OS ports. So I thought I would do something like this:
#define __Roadrunner__ in a Makefile or config file somewhere, you tell
me where is best I guess. Then:
#ifdef __Roadrunner__
/* ... Roadrunner header files here ... */
#else
/* ... Linux header files here ... */
#endif
or some variant of this, will have to be added to all the source files.
So, you asked for new OS's, I got one. Let's roll up our sleeves and
hopefully you won't all hate me before it done with...
Later,
FM
