I am trying to port a program, namely "checkinstall", to my 64-bit
Alpha. Working remotely through ssh.
The OS is the port to Alpha of Fedora Core 5. The compiler is
gcc version 4.1.1 20060525 (Red Hat 4.1.1-1)
There are, of course, compiler warnings and errors. The messages are
hard to understand because variable names are quoted using smart left
and right single quotes.
The terminal emulator that I am using to read the compiler diagnostic
output can not cope with these quotes. It is gnome-terminal 2.7.3 on
one of my local systems and gnome-terminal 2.16.0 on the other. The
visible rendering of the symbols is different on the two terminal
emulators, but equally hard to read.
For what it's worth, a left quote is hex e2 80 98 and a right quote
is e2 80 99
I can read the messages by sending them to a file and then using "gedit".
Can anyone think of a reason why gcc was made to do this? Or have
some idea of when it happened? Or suggest something better in the way
of a terminal emulator?
