Terminal.app and current GNUstep

[Andreas Höschler]

Hi all,

I have just downloaded the current GNUstep sources (svn co
http://svn.gna.org/svn/gnustep/tools/X/trunk/ X)  and started to
rebuild all the desktop apps. TextEdit.app and Affiche.app do work
again. However, I have trouble with Terminal.app. The sources compile
after doing the usual

        #import <AppKit/NSFontManager.h>

patch, but the app does not work correctly. I can only see the bottom
two pixels of the commands I type!? This must be due to a recent change
in AppKit. Can anybody confirm that  or has a patched version of
Terminal.app that works on the current GNUstep? I  have not built
Etoile yet. May be that makes a difference!

Thanks a lot!

Regards,

   Andreas

The current version of Terminal.app which contains this fix and others is available in the GAP project at:

http://gap.nongnu.org

Click on the "Project Page" link and do a checkout of the repository.  The application hasn't been released yet, but it is there with the current fixes.

Thanks a lot! I was able to download the sources with the above
command. After the usual fixes for Solaris

        cp forkpty.h forkpty.c /usr/src/Terminal

        pico GNUmakefile

+Terminal_C_FILES =  forkpty.c
+Terminal_LDFLAGS = -liconv
-Terminal_LDFLAGS = -lutil

        pico TerminalView.m

-#include <pty.h>
+#import "forkpty.h"

this app builds fine and works like a charm again.

Thanks,

   Andreas
