Since Peter Easthope pointed out the existence of the acme [Wirth inspired] editor for Linux, I've eventually opened the canOworms to try to install it. I didn't know that these days you can't just fetch the 'advertised' *.tgz. Everything is restricted and controlled by M$ & google ! So any non-main-stream usage is made painfull & perhaps I'm the last person using ETH-Oberon? Since the author of the Wirth-concept-editor writes: > The author is moved almost to tears of frustration using > many other editors; I'm wondering if/how the Win-users manage to 1. write a report, 2. about the captured error messages, 3,4,5 related to the contents of the 3 'Mafefile/s', 6,7...which reference various sources; without having an editor which can cutNpaste between 6 or more simultaneously visible text frames. This thing's [I'm trying the smaller, 'wily' version of acme] configure/make,/compile..etc. C complex compiling system, shows errors in a source near: ] extern GC _getfillgc(Fcode, Bitmap*, unsigned long); ] extern GC _getcopygc(Fcode, Bitmap*, Bitmap*, int*); ] extern GC _getgc(Bitmap*, unsigned long, XGCValues *); Since I don't know C/C++, does this mean: call 3-arg function _getgc, which is "defined in an external module named GC"? Would 'GC' be a system-module ? How do you see the system-module list ? Have you seen the manual for the gcc compiler, with a zillion options! TIA, == Chris Glur. PS. sometimes V4 is more convenient than S3 under linux, since it automatically opens the text-files in Oberon or Linux, depending on the type. I patched its EditTools.StoreAscii to do Unix instead. Imagine the drama needed for a C-system to make a little patch.
