Linux problem (and feature idea)

new topic     » topic index » view thread      » older message » newer message

I recently installed Ubuntu Linux on one of our machines at work and tried to
install Euphoria today. Ubuntu uses the GNOME terminal as it's default terminal
emulator. However, Euphoria can not run in the GNOME terminal for some reason. It
will run fine in xterm but not in the GNOME terminal. I haven't tried Konsole
(the KDE terminal emulator) nor eterm yet so I don't know if it works with them
or not but from the error message it seems Euphoria requires xterm. This should
either be fixed or a message should be in the documentation about it since xterm
might not be in all Linux distros.

Also, a really good feature to add would be a true Linux/BSD console version of
the interpreter, one that will use STDOUT and not ncurses. People at work often
think my program crashes or doesn't work because their terminal will change when
displaying stuff. The Windows interpreter has exwc so exuc makes just as much
sense.
