Hello,
I have succefully compiled GLE (presentation graphics language)
using Cygwin B20.1. It requires succesfull installation of ncurses and a
few minor changes to some of the gle source code. If anyone is interested
I'll post the makefiles and the changes. I'm new so is there a place to
do this other than the list?
Also, Right now I'm trying to port BiBtool, but I'm running into a problem
which I think is Code related. I get the error:
error.c:45: initializer element is not constant
and line 45 from error.c is:
FILE * err_file = stderr;
I am assuming this line compiled with erlier versions of gcc (2.7...),
since the author stopped miantaing his web page in 97.
http://ctan.unsw.edu.au/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/utils/bibtool/BibTool.html
The question is: Does C allow non constant identifiers? If not, why did
this compile with older gcc's? Is this a egcs problem/bug or is egcs begin
correctand older gcc's just didn't catch this?
I tried some work arounds but the source is quite complex and I don't have
serious amounts of time to devote to this.
Thanks
Vince
