Re: [Bug-apl] svn version

[Juergen Sauermann]

Hi,

the only thing I changed was to fix the compiler warning. Nothing related to UTF8 or locales (and the build
process should be locale-independent as well, but who knows?).

I could imaging that setting locales or incorrectly can cause some terminal programs to not properly
display APL characters.

I normally use this setting:

LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=
LC_ALL=

Hi  Juergen, 

Setting LC_ALL=C  back to LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8" fixed my apl char keyboard problem  (I changed it to LC_ALL=C after upgrading to bash 4.3.33)
locale charmap         gave the problem away    it should have said UTF-8   but with LC_ALL gives ANSI_X3.4-1968

after doing the LC_ALL change I got the 705 and it compiled and works great       ⍴⍳10      gives the correct result still :)

Don't know if it was my LC_ALL fix or your 705 svn fix

Did you do anything with UTF-8 in the 705?   I got errors on 704 trying to continue the make and with make distclean it gave errors and then with a new configure and make it gave different errors

The same make distclean problem happens with 705 and in order to get a good compile i had to redo the svn download.
If you have the time it would be nice to know if this make distclean problem is in the code or from something wrong on my system

If you didn't do anything in 705 with UTF-8 then LC_ALL=C (locale charmap -> ANSI_X3.4-1968) breaks your make.

To make the libapl.so    is there any coding issue with   runing a configure --libapl   in same src as was used to make the apl binary?

THANKS for GNUAPL!!

Hi,

interesting message (and slightly bogus because my g++ can deal with it).
And, as far as I understand,  UTF8_string is NOT a variably modified type,
(it consists of two integers and one pointer).

Maybe fixed in SVN 705.

Hi

All a sudden my apl keyboard chars stopped working after a year or so .. and couldn't find the problem - so i decided to reinstall all from scratch

Hence ...
