Midnight Commander for QNX (not QNX Neutrino)
|
|
||||||

||||||

|
||||||

|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
4. TODO

|
||||||
5. Contact information
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. Compiling
|
|
||||||
------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1.1 Make utility
|
|
||||||
----------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Use 'gmake'. (This is the default 'make' under QNX 4.23+). [The old 'qmake'
|
|
||||||
cannot handle the makefiles in the mc-source.]
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1.2 Configuring
|
|
||||||
---------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you don't have an installed TCP/IP development kit, you have to 'hide'
|
|
||||||
the library file 'socket3r.lib' (can be installed by e.g. Watcom C 10.6)
|
|
||||||
in /usr/lib or /usr/watcom/10.6/usr/lib, because the existence of this file
|
|
||||||
will confuse 'configure': it will erroneously assume you have the complete
|
|
||||||
TCP/IP development kit (with headers) and will enable compiling of the
|
|
||||||
network-related VFS code (not only tarfs).
|
|
||||||
[A patch would be required in the configure-script to check the existence
|
|
||||||
of the TCP/IP-related headers also...]
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Use '--disable-nls' option, if you don't have the binary utilities of
|
|
||||||
GNU 'gettext' package (e.g. 'msgfmt'). ['--with-included-gettext' doesn't
|
|
||||||
really work in 4.1.33, there are configuration/compiling problems...]
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1.3 Compiler
|
|
||||||
------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
It is advised to use Watcom C 10.6+ to compile the source, because older
|
|
||||||
compilers (e.g. 9.52) do not support some convenient/required features.
|
|
||||||
[e.g. 'ar'-compatible 'wlib',...]
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1.4 "No prototype found for '<function>'" warnings
|
|
||||||
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
It is advised to use high warning level (e.g. 'CFLAGS="-w4" ./configure'),
|
|
||||||
when compiling the source, because Watcom C uses a special parameter passing
|
|
||||||
convention for functions with fixed number of arguments only. So if the
|
|
||||||
compiler doesn't see the correct prototype of a function with variable
|
|
||||||
number of arguments (like printf()), it will produce a warning about the
|
|
||||||
missing prototype, but generates function call code according to the special
|
|
||||||
parameter passing convention, not the required CDECL convention (it is used
|
|
||||||
by default for functions with variable number of arguments). So the calling
|
|
||||||
convention of the function call code and the function code itself will not
|
|
||||||
match! So you MUST provide the correct prototype for function with variable
|
|
||||||
number of arguments! (Or you can force using the stack-based calling
|
|
||||||
convention as a default, if you have the stack-call-conv version of all of the
|
|
||||||
required libraries ('<name>3s.lib')...[Watcom C 10.6 required!])
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
[The latest release version (4.1.33/qnx) is checked against these types of
|
|
||||||
missing prototypes...]
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1.5 Tested configuration
|
|
||||||
------------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
QNX 4.24
|
|
||||||
Watcom C 10.6 (release version, no newer beta patches)
|
|
||||||
Photon 1.12
|
|
||||||
no TCP/IP development kit (-> VFS: tarfs only!)
|
|
||||||
mc-4.1.33, mc-4.1.34
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
2. Running 'mc' under QNX
|
|
||||||
-------------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Using 'qnx*' terminals:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You cannot use your keyboard correctly, if you disable the "Full 8 bits
|
|
||||||
input" feature in the 'Options|Display bits...' dialog.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
On 'qnx*' terminals 'mc' will run in black and white mode by default,
|
|
||||||
because these types of terminals use non-ANSI-compatible color sequences.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Accessing remote nodes via the native QNX-network:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
[The problem exists under the older versions of 'mc' only...]
|
|
||||||
If directory panels cannot handle '//<node-id>' prefix in directory names,
|
|
||||||
use directory links in order to access remote nodes on the native QNX
|
|
||||||
network:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
mkdir /net
|
|
||||||
ln -sf //1/ /net/1
|
|
||||||
...
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Extension and menu files:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Default 'tar' uses 'stderr' (and not 'stdout' as its 'normal' output with
|
|
||||||
'-t' option.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Default 'tar' is not a GNU 'tar', so does not understand '-z' option.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Special key-mappings:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Restrictions of the META-? as Alt-? functionality:
|
|
||||||
[META-? as ESC-? will always work!!!]
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Alt-TAB -> Ctrl-TAB (Alt-TAB reserved in Photon [1.12+])
|
|
||||||
Alt-ENTER -> Ctrl-ENTER ('qnx*' terminals only)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Alt-<uppercase letter>: doesn't work
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
'qansi*' terminals:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Problem [QNX 4.23+ only]: screen corruption (strange line-drawing character
|
|
||||||
set handling) on 'qansi*' terminals, if linked with mc/Slang/terminfo
|
|
||||||
terminal management. (Older versions of QNX and Slang/termcap not affected.)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This problem is solved, see the comments in slang/sldisply.c about
|
|
||||||
SLTT_TRANSP_ACS_PATCH and QNX_QANSI_SLANG_COMPAT_ACS!
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
other terminals:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
I have tested 'mc' under QNX on 'qnx*' and 'qansi*' terminals only.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
toggle panels on/off (CTRL-o):
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Currently not supported, but could be implemented later...
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
3. List of modifications on mc-4.1.33/mc-4.1.34
|
|
||||||
-----------------------------------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
edit/
|

|
||||||
syntax.c: (4.1.33 only, fixed in 4.1.34)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
line 100,191: WCC 10.6 doesn't like "<label>: }" construct ("no statement
|
|
||||||
after the label"), modified to "<label>: /*nop*/; }".
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
lib/
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
mc.menu:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
'Z' on 'tar.Z' and 'tar.z' files: '%f' -> '$1'.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
mc.ext.in.qnx.diff:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
QNX: modified 'mc.ext.in'. [tar -t: output to stderr,...]
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
(No automatic install implemented: patch must be applied before
|
|
||||||
running 'configure' [->mc.ext.in.qnx.diff!]; this patch can be not
|
|
||||||
only QNX-specific...)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Makefile.in:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
'mc.ext.in.qnx.diff' added to DISTLIB.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
slang/
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
sldisply.c:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
SLTT_TRANSP_ACS_PATCH dependent code:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The problem: some terminals (e.g. QNX/qansi*) map the whole upper half of
|
|
||||||
the ASCII table to the lower half, when alt-char-set is activated with
|
|
||||||
the smacs/as string-sequence. This means, that if 0 <= ch < 128 written
|
|
||||||
to the terminal, it will be translated to (ch+128) automatically by the
|
|
||||||
terminal: so not only the line-drawing characters can be written, when
|
|
||||||
the alt-char-set is activated. It implicitly means, that space, NL, CR,
|
|
||||||
etc. characters (exactly: anything besides the "standard" line drawing
|
|
||||||
characters) cannot be written directly to the terminal, when the
|
|
||||||
alt-char-set is activated, because writing these characters doesn't cause
|
|
||||||
an implicit/temporary switching-back to the standard char-set!
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The original code in SLang assumes that space, NL, CR, etc. can be
|
|
||||||
printed when alt-char-set is activated. If SLTT_TRANSP_ACS_PATCH is
|
|
||||||
defined, the modified code will not use this assumption.
|
|
||||||
[Remark: the patch-code is not the most exact solution, but works...]
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
QNX_QANSI_SLANG_COMPAT_ACS_PATCH dependent code:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
A more OS/terminal-specific solution for the problem mentioned above
|
|
||||||
(->SLTT_TRANSP_ACS_PATCH).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If QNX_QANSI_SLANG_COMPAT_ACS is defined, the default smacs/sa, rmacs/ae,
|
|
||||||
acsc/ac [and sgr/sa, if it would be used!] command sequences will be
|
|
||||||
replaced internally with the "old style" (pre-QNX 4.23) sequences in case
|
|
||||||
of QNX/qansi terminals. Using these optional command sequences the terminal
|
|
||||||
remains compatible with the original SLang code (without using the
|
|
||||||
workaround-code enabled by defining SLTT_TRANSP_ACS_PATCH).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Remark:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Currently SLTT_TRANSP_ACS_PATCH is not auto-configured by 'configure'.
|
|
||||||
(Must be manually defined...)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
There is some (QNX-specific) auto-configuration hand-coded in the source:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
#ifdef SLTT_TRANSP_ACS_PATCH
|
|
||||||
# if defined(__QNX__) && defined(QNX_QANSI_SLANG_COMPAT_ACS)
|
|
||||||
# undef SLTT_TRANSP_ACS_PATCH
|
|
||||||
# endif
|
|
||||||
#else
|
|
||||||
# if defined(__QNX__) && !defined(QNX_QANSI_SLANG_COMPAT_ACS)
|
|
||||||
# define QNX_QANSI_SLANG_COMPAT_ACS 1
|
|
||||||
# endif
|
|
||||||
#endif
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
slutty.c:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
"newtty.c_iflag &= ~(ECHO | INLCR | ICRNL);"
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
ECHO(0x08) is a c_lflag bit, it means PARMRK(0x08) in c_iflag. (!?!)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
src/
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
file.c:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
'do_reget' can be extern if (ENABLE_VFS && USE_NETCODE), not if (ENABLE_VFS).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
find.c:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
search_content():
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
variable 'i' "must be" 'int', not 'char'. ["i == -1": (buggy?) WCC 10.6
|
|
||||||
doesn't convert automatically (int)(-1) to (char)(-1) (GCC does), so
|
|
||||||
"comparison result always 0" warning produced. It is cleaner to define
|
|
||||||
'i' as 'int', than cast '-1' to 'char', because 'read()' returns 'int'.]
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
key.c:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
init_key():
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Call load_xtra_key_defines() and clear 'use_8th_bit_as_meta' by default
|
|
||||||
under QNX, if a 'qnx*' terminal detected. (A saved config file (mc.ini)
|
|
||||||
can override it later...)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
key.h:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Declare load_xtra_key_defines().
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
keyxdef.c:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Provides a method to define some platform-specific additional key
|
|
||||||
mappings. (e.g. QNX terminals can handle most of META-? combinations as
|
|
||||||
ALT-?...)
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
|
|

layout.c:
|

TIOCGWINSZ must be available (<sys/ioctl.h> included), because window-

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
main.c:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
print_usage(): reserved name in the QNX run-time library!
|
|
||||||
print_usage() -> print_mc_usage()
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
mouse.c:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
QNX: ncurses 1.9.8a ported to QNX doesn't provide the 'SP' pointer as a

global symbol in the library, so the keyok() emulation currently cannot
|

be used under QNX (4.24 & Watcom C 10.6 release version).

4. TODO
|
|
||||||
-------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Because of limited time and resources now I can define a 'wish list' only:
|
|
||||||
(maybe somebody in the QNX community can help...)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
subshell support with panel switch on/off ?
|
|
||||||
mouse under Photon (with qnxm, qansi-m terminals) ?
|
|
