Al,
I have completed running the nanox source thru bcc in 16 bit mode,
and I've got the whole thing to compile. (I'm using my new version of bcc that
compiles ansi c with no preprocessing...)
In addition, I'm using a newly written ega/vga driver, written in C only,
that also compiles. (It runs on DOS, I haven't got an EGA card in my elks box yet)
I'm also using the std kbd driver, which uses termios. The mouse driver is still not
implemented, but I'm working on one, and it should work.
I have a few pertinant questions, and I'll be able to ship you a nano-X
tree that will completely compile, and hopefully run on ELKS!
1. Does ELKS support select()? We need select() for the mouse_fd and
keyboard fd, (serial and console tty) -OR- we can write a polling driver entry
point...
2. Does ELKS support the various termios modes? Of course, no echo
and ~ICANON are required.
BTW, the nano-X executable on ELKS is 35k text and 6k data for a grand total of 41k!!
ELKS graphical days are almost here...
Greg
