1. EXU mouse ??
Is the gpm mouse being compiled into the exu binary ?
Where is EGPM turn on in the source ?

Bernie,
I was trying to look at the build system to see if there was a flag or not. I
see plenty of #ifdef EGPM's in .c source and in globals.e I see constant EGPM=0
I then went to the Release Notes and for version 3.0.0, I see:
http://www.rapideuphoria.com/relnotes.htm
"Also, the use of libgpm (console mouse support) has been dropped on Linux. (It
was never supported by Euphoria on FreeBSD)."
In the section with dropping ncurses.
Sorry, I don't know what more to do.

Does that mean that no user can use a mouse with the exu code ?
Boy that's going to impress the Linux users.

Not sure, sounds like it. I am not sure why it was removed. It does say that it
never worked in FreeBSD. I do not think libgpm works in FreeBSD, so that was not
a fault of Euphoria there.
I do not know all the decision logic that went into removing it. Maybe someone
else knows here on EUforum?

I use the mouse all the time with euphoria in linux. Just not in the console.
But I don't think I ever use a mouse in the console. Is this really a
common thing?

Bring back ncurses? Just exactly what was/is the great benefit
of Euphoria sans ncurses? A little speed increase, a relatively modest
size increase?
Ed.ex since 3.0 in my experience has been practically unusable under
SUSE 10.0 32bit Linux and SUSE 10.3 64bit Linux. I think that for
Linux an ed.ex keyboard setup utility program is needed to tune the
ed.ex key codes to the user's specific terminal.

Matt:
I am trying to find a way to use the mouse in frame buffer programming.
I have everything working except for access to the mouse.
Since Euphoria is not a compiler I have no other way of building or using
mouse control into Euphoria code.
You are using the mouse because it is built into code other than Euphoria
that is compiled.

I'm not going to say it's common, but I use it occasionally. Even over SSH. Not
in a Euphoria app, because I have not written any real console app in Euphoria.

IIRC, the debate revolved around the need for external dependencies. Not
every Linux installation includes ncurses or libgpm by default. Since the
functionality for both libs is available via .so, the argument went that
those users who required either ncurses or gpm functionality could simply
tap into the appropriate .so. It also resolved the issue of which VERSION of
ncurses and gpm would be supported, since not every distro follows the best
practice of linking the versionless file to the versioned file.

Yes, I know how I'm using the mouse.
Have you tried wrapping libgpm?

I'm not sure I understand the question. I don't really know anything about
gpm itself. What are they? Functions? Variables? What do they do?

I guess the short answer is: define_c_var
