|    gno & orca    |

      From: justliketomsthumbsblues@gmail.com              So I bought Gno/ME 2.0 in 1994, came with a hand written receipt for $89 and       apparently I updated it to 2.0.4 though I don’t remember doing it; 28 years       and I have trouble with yesterday; so now I see v2.0.6 and downloaded that and       installed it as per        instructions to /gno and /gno-hfs.              I’m familiar with and use linux and mac os x terminal and prefer gno to       orca shell but I have a problem using C. In gno 2.0.4 I’ll use vi to create       foo.c but cant cmpl it because the subtype is set as txt. I don’t know how       to set the language or        set a file’s subtype with gno shell. I can run orca and “change foo.c       cc” but that pretty much defeats the purpose of using gno. I feel I must       have something setup wrong; 2.0/2.0.4 installer sets things up after answering       yes to orca installed.              As for 2.0.6, so, it installs orcacdefs and orcalib in /lib but also       /lang/orca with empty languages, shell, utilities, libraries directories. I       populated the shell, languages and utilities directories from 2.0.4 /ORCA.gno       and left the libraries        directory empty. I created an “alias cc /usr/bin/occ” and can create foo.c       and compile it issuing “cc -o foo foo.c” and if it’s a simple hello       world or uses %d in a printf works okay, compiles and runs. If I then use %f       it will crash every time.        I mean the replacements are appropriate for the given variables. The source       in question is anexample from K&R that prints a Fahrenheit - Celsius table. It       works everywhere but compiled under gno 2.0.6 so I moved and saved 2.0.6 /lib       and replaced it with        2.0.4 /library and now occ produces an exe that works, first tried replacing       orcacdefs but that didn’t work.              So now 2.0.6 “cc -o foo foo.c” works also “cmpl foo.c keep=foo” but I       can’t accept that. 2.0.4’s orcalib is 59K and 2.0.6’s is 29k; 2.0.4       ORCAInclude is 156k, 2.0.6 154k and 2.0.4’s ORCADefs is 496k and 2.0.6’s       orcadefs is 451k so there        is a lot going on there.              Anyone have any insight as how to properly setup gno 2.0.4 and 2.0.6, for use       with orca/c? Preferably the latter but both would be nice or just any comments       or thoughts.              This works in 2.0.6 “out of box”       #include |
