Scott, Thanks for the info.
I suppose my only issue is that gcc wants all the headers in one folder? as
opposed to say a separate ncurses dir, or SDL dir. I am, for example, curing
boredom by attempting to compile nano and openttd. I've now got openttd
compiling, but it's failing when it tries to init an SDL window... to be
debugged tonight. As for nano, I can't remember where i got up to...
I've based my work off the senryu package from haikuware. I don't know if this
is the best idea either... I'm still trying to figure if the goal (for the
posix compatibility) is to just compile everything as thinking it's compiling
on unix? as opposed to forcing it to think it's on BSD? It seems that I get
large issues with the includes nested in the gnupro-3.4.3/i586.../include
folder when compared with /boot/dev/headers/posix... but this is probably to be
expected as i've told openttd to look into both when attempting to compile.
Anyway, i'll just keep breaking things until it works... this is the same
procedure i used when porting openttd to the dreamcast... and it eventually
worked :)
Steven.
