Re: [Simulavr-devel] simulavr on 'bsd

[Theodore A. Roth]

I have dealt with all 4 items now and checked in my changes.

Ken:
Try this on your netbsd system and see if you get a clean configure 
and build.

Reinhard:
Try it with your build scripts and make sure I didn't break
anything. I had to muck around with the configure stuff again.

I think the current cvs stuff is really about ready for release of version
0.0.13. The only changes I have left to commit are doxygen comment updates
in display.c. I'll commit those tonight and if no one can find any
problems, make the release wednesday evening.

:)just tried to compile simulavr on netbsd 1.5.1 again.

:)it does pretty well on portability. but a couple things appear broken:
:)
:)1) ../simulavr/src/disp/disp.c:541: undefined reference to `resizeterm'
:)      this is an ncurses thing, and netbsd doesn't grok ncurses that well.
:)      it's theoretically possible to install ncurses, but i've never been 
able to.
:)      i'd suggest replacing it with some curses least-common-denominator, 
:)      if such a thing exists.
:)
:)2)  on_exit again. i'd hacked main.c to use atexit instead as a workaround.
:)      on_exit appears to be a gnu thing, neither netbsd nor freebsd 4.3 have 
it.
:)      atexit semantics are different too, there's no way to pass a void * arg.
:)
:)3)  texi is a NOP on netbsd. probably makes sense to do an AC_PROGRAM for it,
:)      and fail to ./configure without it, or allow an option to build w/o it.
:)
:)4)  the use of times() in utils.c:get_program_time is broken on netbsd.
:)      compiles fine, but causes segfaults. urk.
:)      the netbsd docs recommend using gettimeofday() instead.
:)
:)and that was it. not too bad, but it won't build and run
:)out-of-the-box on the bsd's as it stands now. i would guess the
:)ncurses stuff would be an obstacle on solaris, too, and possibly
:)on_exit as well.
