1. Euphoria 3.0.2 Release Candidate for Linux
I've uploaded a new unofficial 3.0.2 release for Linux:
http://www.rapideuphoria.com/uploads/euphoria.tar
It's a compressed .tar file, that you can unpack as usual with:
tar -xvz -f euphoria.tar
Please test it. If all goes well, I'll soon make a .tar file
for FreeBSD, and then I'll officially update the
RapidEuphoria Web site with 3.0.2 for Windows/DOS, Linux and FreeBSD.
Thanks,

2. Re: Euphoria 3.0.2 Release Candidate for Linux
To: Robert Craig
I have been trying to compile Euphoria from source on Linux (SUSE10.2 and
Mandriva 2007) and found the following problems (in 3.0.1). I have just
downloaded the tar for 3.0.2 and a quick check shows the code is unchanged.
Problem 1.
In be_machine.c "conflicting types for SetTColor" and "conflicting types
for SetBColor"
Solution:
I added function prototypes for SetTColor and SetBColor to "Declared Functions"
section in be_machine.c
Problem 2.
Compiling be_rterror.c gives error "curses.h : no such file or directory".
on line 15, plus errors for lines 140,141,142.
Solution:
I deleted line 15 and lines 139..143
It seems that ncurses is dead but it won't lie down!
Problem 3.
In be_execute.c, be_machine,c, be_main.c, compile.e complaints that
"CLK_TCK is undefined".
In /usr/include/time.h CLOCKS_PER_SEC is defined and a comment says
that CLK_TCK "is the obsolete POSIX.1-1988 name for the same constant".
Solution:
I replaced CLK_TCK with CLOCKS_PER_SEC throughout.
I am using GCC 4.1.1, it may be different in earlier versions.

Thank you very much. I don't see those messages on my system,
but I understand what you are saying, and
I'll make those changes for 3.0.2
Certainly there is no need to include curses.h anymore,
since Euphoria no longer uses ncurses.

That's odd...I thought I checked those changes in (well, not the ncurses
one)...

Sorry. I forgot to do an SVN update of my euphoria\source directory
on my machine. I'm still new to this stuff 
Thanks for your improvements.
I've updated now, and picked up your changes to:
be_w.c
MakeFile (new)
global.h
makefile.wat (new)
be_callc.c
be_machine.c
be_execute.c
etc.
Everything looks fine.
I'll rebuild/repackage everything for DOS/Windows/Linux,
then move on to FreeBSD. To avoid confusion, you might
want to hold off on any commits until 3.0.2 is official
(in a couple of days).

Yes, Matt's changes (that I've now updated to) fix that.

OK, I've fixed that now. Thanks.

As a test, I tried:
#include <time.h>
main()
{
printf("CLK_TCK %d\n", CLK_TCK);
printf("CLOCKS_PER_SEC %d\n", CLOCKS_PER_SEC);
}
On my Linux machine, I get:
CLK_TCK 100
CLOCKS_PER_SEC 1000000
On FreeBSD, I get:
CLK_TCK 128
CLOCKS_PER_SEC 128
I'm reluctant to mess with this right now (in the middle of a release).
Maybe by the next release we'll figure out what to do here.

OK, I see that Matt has addressed that issue as well in global.h
If CLK_TCK is not defined on your system,
he defines it as CLOCKS_PER_SEC. That looks like a
reasonable fix.
