[RP] ratpoison on Irix

[Pawel Kaczor]

Hello everybody,
I'm curious if someone succesfuly compiled and run ratpoison on Silicon 
Grahics hardware and Irix 6.5?
I own quite old Silicon Graphics machines (O2 and Octane) and they look 
like perfect systems for ratpoison. (currently I use ratpoison on my 
FreeBSD old Pentium III laptop).

I compiled RP on Irix (using gcc) but when I run it as my default WM (from 
.xsession), ratpoison can't interprets bindings from .ratpoisonrc.
I can redefine Escape key to windows_key (escape Super_L) but this is the 
only option set from .ratpoisonrc. No aliases, no binds.

I'm unable bind key to command from within ratpoison. When I hit Escape + 
: (Escape and colon) and put 'bind x exec xterm' into the editor window, 
it doesn't work. When I check bindings (Escape + ?) I can see this new 
bindings but the whole string after the key (in this case 'x') is a 
strange looking two chars string instead of 'exec xterm'.
I'm able to make new bind hitting Escape + :, then I have to put 'bind', 
hit Return, when ratposion asks 'Key: ' I hit key ('x') and Return, then 
ratposion asks 'Command: ' and I can put my 'exec xterm' string. That 
works perfectly and Escape + ? lists this new binding.

During compilation I noticed few warnings:

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.      -g -O2 -Wall -O2  -c `test -f 
editor.c || echo './'`editor.c

editor.c: In function `editor_forward_word':
editor.c:188: warning: subscript has type `char'
editor.c:189: warning: subscript has type `char'
editor.c: In function `editor_backward_word':

editor.c: In function `editor_backward_kill_word':
editor.c:292: warning: subscript has type `char'
editor.c:293: warning: subscript has type `char'

and:

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.      -g -O2 -Wall -O2  -c `test -f

format.c || echo './'`format.c
format.c: In function `format_string':
format.c:113: warning: subscript has type `char'


I will try to investigate this problem on my own but maybe someone could 
help me?

p.s. Ratpoison is the best WM I ever used! Thanks for it, Shawn.


Cheers,
paczor
