Simplifying cross-development
by Peter Gerwinski 12 Jun '04

12 Jun '04

Hi, cross-development with GRX has always required some manual hacking: You have to adjust compiler, linker, etc. manually, and when you try to use, for instance, makefile.dj2 under GNU/Linux, `make clean' fails because the shell does not like `if exist foo.o del foo.o'. The attached `diff' patches the configure script and the makefiles such that all this works automatically. :-) If you do not cross-compile, you should not notice the difference, but, as I do not have a self-hosting DJGPP or MINGW intalled, I did not test this. How this works: - The target directory is now named INSTALLDIR for all platforms. (This makes it much easier and less error-prone to configure it automatically.) - There is a new variable CROSS_PLATFORM which contains the prefix for the cross development tools (e.g. "i386-mingw32-" when you want to use i386-mingw32-gcc instead of plain gcc). - There is a new variable HAVE_UNIX_TOOLS. When set to "y", the DJ2 and W32 makefiles use "rm" instead of "del", "cp" instead of "copy", etc. This is needed for cross-development, but it is also useful if you are working with a self-hosting DJGPP or mingw32. - You can edit all this in makedefs.grx. In addition, the configure script has been adapted to set these variables automatically if you feed it with a GCC-style target specification such as "--target=i386-pc-msdosdjgpp". Have fun, Peter

Re: text mode

Sorry. I suppose I should clarify. How do I print simple text to the screen while in text mode? Using GrDrawString() or GrTextXY() gives me an error stating "attempt to use graphics primitive in text mode" or something like that. Thanks again, Lance ----- Original Message ----- From: Lance Luvaul To: grx(a)gnu.de Sent: Wednesday, April 14, 2004 5:07 AM Subject: text mode Is 'text mode' actually text mode or is it graphics mode? The user's manual isn't clear... Thanks, Lance

That's up to Mariano, he's the maintainer. -- E-gards: Jimmy

Hi, some old mails (from the time 1998-2001) that Anja Gerwinski found on an old server are now available in the online archives of grx and grx-announce. (They are numbered 0 and below, to avoid shifting the numbers of current mails.) Frank -- Frank Heckenbach, frank(a)g-n-u.de http://fjf.gnu.de/ GnuPG and PGP keys: http://fjf.gnu.de/plan (7977168E)
