in text mode. The new variables 'text_rows' and 'text_cols' are used in the
text_update() function.
- desriptions of the functions text_update() and dimension_update() updated
These changes are based on the SF patch #742670. It did not work with
plugins disabled.
Here is the descriiption of patch #742670:
the library dependencies (see objdump -p file) in the
main bochs binary and the gui plugins are wrong:
- the gui plugins don't depend on their respective gui
libraries
- the main bochs binary depends on all the gui libraries
this doesn't seem much of a problem, since the needed
libraries are loaded anyway, but it's problematic when
building packages for binary distribution of bochs.
in Debian, the package building tools will set package
dependencies according to the library dependencies of
each file, so the result is:
- the main bochs package depends on all libraries. this
includes libwx, libsdl, libncurses and xlibs.
- the indivudual plugin packages don't depend on any
gui library
so when a user wants to run bochs with the curses gui
and installs the bochs-curses package, he/she will be
forced to install Xfree86, WxWindows and GTK+ on
his/her system.
the attached patch fixes the problem by moving the
linker flags related to GUI libraries to the right
makefile (gui/Makefile.in)
in text mode. The new variables 'text_rows' and 'text_cols' are used in the
text_update() function.
- optimizations in function UpdateScreen()
- desriptions of the functions text_update() and dimension_update() updated
It's not clear what the correct behavior is in that case, (we
clearly don't currently handle it correctly) so
simply avoiding it is the easiest thing to do. As such, this
option is ON by default.
* renamed variables textres_x and textres_y to text_cols and text_rows
* use text_rows in function text_update() instead of the function argument
(unused for now - should be removed)
* fixed a warning (bochs_icon_bits)
cursor enable/disable support implemented
- function dimension_update() now calculates the number of visible rows and
columns in text mode
- draw a border if the physical screen is larger than the bochs text screen
- initialize color pairs only when color support is present
- german umlaut characters added in function get_term_char()
- function get_term_char(): unsupported characters are now replaced by spaces
