Did anyone else used to do this? Any way I can make ANSI art on my o2?

emacs?

Hmm, is that similar to aciddraw? Just kidding. I have avoided learning emacs for so long it would be a shame to start now.

after 23 years i can't do with anything else :)

If I recall correctly or IIRC as I've just recently learned there is a open source ansi editor similar to AcidDraw that is called DuhDraw.

I too would also be interested in having duhdraw compiled for irix. I would also like to recommend you Ansi lovers out there to check out this nifty little frontend to various music players.

i had the luck to compile a gcc mips-3 duhdraw. mipspro version always segment fault.

Edit. requires neko_ncurses.

How did you do it? I kept getting:



This is with ncurses 5.4 - which I compiled /w gcc - perhaps my ncurses libs are no good?

I've haven't tried compiling this so my observation is just academic - but is there a reason you have to use ncurses? Most things will let you link against the system curses library instead ( -lcurses ).

yes, i can confirm it works with -lcurses.

to use ncurses, i made some modifications to the Makefile (added -I and -L for nekoware ncurses) and changed #include <ncurses.h> to #include <ncurses/ncurses.h>. You can check the differences by comparing the source in my tarball with the original source.

Really how about with -lcurses? What does your makefile look like? I am getting another segfault. How can I debug ld32 segfaults?

thanks for the bin this should be a fun app to use

miunk, maybe you are right. duhdraw segfaults with -lcurses. just the viewer ansi works fine with -lcurses.

the beginning of my Makefile to use ncurses looks like this

I also changed #include <ncurses.h> to <ncurses/ncurses.h>, as mentioned above.

Thanks - adding the ncurses/ncurses.h was the key. I can run the program but the "splash screen" displays all jumbled - do I need to configure my winterm?

winterm (xwsh) wont work. you also need a capable font. i am using rxvt as term program, and vga font, set term=vt100 or vt220. i remember i got the font here. search the forums to see if you can find anything.

Much closer.

Fonts:

Downloaded the fonts, downloaded and compiled rxvt. I execute it from a xwsh winterm via:



If I run the ansi program on one of the provided ansi files it looks great. When I start up the application it looks bad, but different than before (perhaps it is just a really bad splash screen?).

The major problem now is that the function keys (F1, F2, F3, etc.) don't work in the rxvt terminal duhdraw. Anyone know if this is a setting I can modify? Would I have better luck with aterm?
