- Would it be easier to debug mint if the patches that are sent in are
- #ifdef'd into the code? So that you could compile with -DMEGA_PATCH
- -DEXCEPTION_PATCH or something, that way you can see which patch is breaking
- the system. Of course, a million #ifdefs is a pain and would probably
- solve more problems than it is worth.
-
- I compiled vconsoles today. The only thing I still miss about TOSWIN is
- the cut-n-paste stuff. I'm gonna recompile MiNT since bash likes to hang
- me and when I hit CONTROL-C it used to wake it up. Now, I get exit
- code : 512 and MiNT quits :-( Also, I got a crash where the ASSERT
- macro in proc.c failed. I wrote down the exact message and line number,
- but now I can't find the slip of paper. I finally got around to fixing
- zmodem. Just comment out about 3 lines and add in some lines to tell
- the mintlib to use binary mode for stdin and stdout and the rest works
- fine under the bsd compile (with some warnings). I haven't tested the
- speed yet, and since it doesn't report the speed its kinda hard to tell
- (i was gonna run it through a pipe to test).
-
- It's late, I'm rambling. Whoever wrote vconsoles did a GREAT job.
