Re: [Bug-apl] GNU APL port for OpenBSD

[Juergen Sauermann]

Hi Giuseppe,

thanks for submitting the patches. I have included them into SVN 1001.

The first patch is now in Makefile.am as opposed to configure. That suggests that you
are using an older version of the GNU APL sources. Maybe the one from the GNU APL
home page at gnu.org or a gnu mirror. The "official" GNU APL releases happen quite
rarely (like every one or two years) and therefore they quickly become outdated. If you
are porting GNU APL then it is better to check out the latest version from SVN.

Regarding your web link below, I wonder how persistent it is? If the link is supposed to
last for a longer period, then we could point to it from out community web page
http://www.gnu.org/software/apl/Community.html and/or mention it in our README-6-porting
file.

Best Regards,
/// Jürgen Sauermann

Hi list,
I have ported GNU APL to the OpenBSD operating system, and I kindly ask
you to consider the possibility of merging the following changes to the
source tree, in order to enable a better support for the OS. As you can
see, only few lines are needed.

Also, I recollected some info about the steps needed to configure
the environment (fonts, keyboard), not necessarily addressed
at users of this OS but of any Unix-like system in general:
