Thanks. That sounds great. Israel wrote: > We have stuff on both github and launchpad. I'm Israel- on github I did see your github archive. Liked your FLTK applications there. One of the things that looked interesting about ToriOS was its use of FLTK programs. I think I downloaded fladduser but didn't have time to look through the code. Looked like a really useful program. I like that it's written in C++ with FLTK rather than being written in an interpreted language like some other options out there. It should work a lot better and be more responsive on low resource machines. I started putting some of my patches and build scripts online. You can find them if you follow the archive link on this page: http://www.distasis.com/cpp/lmbld.htm As far as FLTK based programs, I think I've only uploaded the build scripts and patches to rendera (graphics program) at this time. Some of the patches were written by me and some were written by one of the FLTK developers. I've been investigating which FLTK programs will work with the new FLTK 1.4 coming out. I've also patched several older Open Source FLTK programs to get them to work with the current version of FLTK (like flcalc, fltkmm, fltdj, xdiskusage, apcstudio, etc.) I'm also adding SDL 2.x support to some of the SDL 1.x programs I use. Will be uploading more build scripts and patches as I have time. At present, I'm mainly interested in useful, lightweight, cross-platform FLTK, SDL, console and pdcurses applications. I'm using pdcurses with a SDL (1.x or 2.x) backend. I've also been looking into using SDL and FLTK applications in framebuffer mode for better performance on low resource hardware. I'm experimenting with SDL using DirectFB and FLTK with nano-x. I prefer cross-platform applications when possible because we use Windows at work. It's nice to be able to run the same software at work and at home. Would be interested to hear more about what you're working on with fladduser and what you want to change. I like the Open Group reference when I look up POSIX related functions: http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/grp.h.html If you're interested in the kernel level, check out the musl C library and how it implements some of the standard C and POSIX functions. I definitely hope to look through the code for fladduser when I have some more free time. Would also be interested to hear about some of the other lightweight programs you or other ToriOS users/developers are working on. If you run across other interesting lightweight applications or currently have some favorites you want to share, would love to hear about them. Thanks.
