C looks a lot like 'brainfuck' to me, but i can poke at it.what do you have so far, just cross-tools?

And I'm afraid of poking around the code too much before I've compiled it and its stable.ncurses replaces crt routines for *NIX, as they are implemented differently than by the ways of dos. this may be a cross-tools or haiku thing, not somehting you put in there to use, just keep it in mind. however, it looks like you are missing a header file, the error is 'undefined symbols'.usually means a required library is missing(.so or a).i get it sometimes with C (++)programs. you have both C and (++) support installed, right? maybe you need the kernel headers installed, not sure.I just followed instructions. However, I'm pretty sure this is a parse error; that kind of error is typical of a missed include or something...does seem odd that dos mode routines are being used under *NIX.posix-compliant uses ncurses, its almost the same, some routines are different.gives the equivalent of TVision for unix from the days of TP6 from dos. I would love to get my hands on ncurses in pascal structure, cant find it for either GNU or FreePascal on OSX and the app i was working on required gotoxy() and bgcolor() and fgcolor() [or equivalent] working correctly.due to this issue it failed to redraw the screen in a terminal correctly and I was left with garbage on screen redraws.I couldnt get a rough cut of a cocoa or carbon app with QDraw text to a output window working, so I gave up. the app works better in command-line mode, as its a micro-os like enviroment attempted to simulate the entire LCARS backend.[not some demo or somebody's alarm-clock, an actual working database] my knowledge of C stems better from python, which is poorly implemented on the MAC. albeit I run ubuntu often, but still.....I actually like mac's python implementation—leopard comes with 10.5 and a cocoa bridge by default. It's pretty nice. But the actual implementation is rock solid... it's not as if it differs much (at all, really?) from linux or *bsds...seriously does look like an outdated sub-routine, though. -------- Duane Ryan wrote:So, i've been rather bored recently; I figure, why not try and get haiku running on my mac? How hard can it be? So, I attempted to build crossutils using `./configure --build-cross-tools-gcc4 ppc ../buildtools/`, as per Ryan's tutorial for ubuntu linux. After chugging along for a few hours (I have a slow machine), it fails, for reasons I can't really comprehend. Full errors are in the attachment. Cheers! -duane
