A lot of PD stuff has come through lately (UUCP, plplot, yacc, etc)
that was set up for Lattice C. Alas, I am fortunate in that I have
Manx (nothing implied here :-). Can anyone comment on what things
I should look out for when getting these compiled under Manx?
Specifically, I'm having problems translating lines of the form
system ("ls -l mydir");
into the manx
fexecl ("ls","-l","mydir");
or, the seemingly equivalent
fexecl ("ls","-l mydir");doug@xdos.UUCP (Doug Merritt) (01/16/90)

For starters, use the "+p" compiler option and link with "-cl32" (and "-ml32" if math is used). That'll at least give you the same compilation model that Lattice uses. Also the "edlib" functions posted last year provide a number of useful library routines available in Lattice/Unix libraries that aren't supported by Manx. Not all of them, though...anyone know another source for Lattice/Unix compatible library routines beyond what's in edlib? >Specifically, I'm having problems translating lines of the form > system ("ls -l mydir"); >into the manx > fexecl ("ls","-l","mydir"); For this particular example it would suffice to use the AmigaDos function: Execute("ls -l mydir", 0L, 0L); This even supports '<' and '>'.
