Oops! That's embarrassing - no, I'd been using v1.2.11 which came with
RH 5.0. Foolish me, I forgot to check the ftp archive. :-p
But I've run into a little problem building 1.3.0 - syscall.h produced a
different prefix for __svgalib_vm86old, and I got a 'fixed or forbidden
register was spilled' error in lrmi.c Has anyone else seen this error?
/usr/local/src/svgalib-1.3.0/src/lrmi.c: In function `__svgalib_vm86old':
/usr/local/src/svgalib-1.3.0/src/lrmi.c:35: fixed or forbidden register
was spilled.
The relevant macro from <asm/unistd.h> (included by <syscall.h>) is:
#define _syscall1(type,name,type1,arg1) \
type name(type1 arg1) \
{ \
long __res; \
__asm__ volatile ("int $0x80" \
: "=a" (__res) \
: "0" (__NR_##name),"b" ((long)(arg1))); \
if (__res >= 0) \
return (type) __res; \
errno = -__res; \
return -1; \
}
(Are the :'s asm syntax? It's new to me.) I included <error.h> and
changed SYS___svgalib_vm86old to __NR___svgalib_vm86old in the #defines,
but compilation still failed due to the above error.
thanks, & in advance,
ben taylor
