Hello,
I have some questions regarding the port of Khoros to Linux.
I got the original source and system files plus the patches by Wolfram Gloger.
My current version of Linux is 0.99pl12, I use gcc 2.4.5 and f2c-1993.04.2.8.
I applied the patches against the Khoros source and system files, however
I failed to compile the program. After some work I was able to compile Khoros
but I had to rewrite linux.cf file to implement my system configuration
(Wolfram uses SYSV and I like BSD).
Most of the Khoros' programs seem to work fine (I tested editimage, putimage,
xprism3, xprism2, animate, many "vroutines"). However, there is a problem with
cantata. I get zombies every time when executing the routine (it gets pretty
bad after a while of using it :-( ). It seems that neither Wolframs patch to
src/xvroutines/Lib/xvforms/signal.c (replacing kill(pid, 0) with waitpid(...) )
nor the original version (I tried both) work for me.
Does any one have idea what can be done to fix this problem?
I tried to contact Wolfram Gloger at wmglo@dent.med.uni-muenchen.de (regarding
his Linux patch) but the e-mail gets bounced back.
Any form of help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
