AAlib-1.4rc5

Installation of AAlib

Fix a minor problem with the included m4 file:

sed -i -e '/AM_PATH_AALIB,/s/AM_PATH_AALIB/[&]/' aalib.m4

Change the default X11 font from Xorg Legacy Fonts to Xorg Fonts:

sed -e 's/8x13bold/-*-luxi mono-bold-r-normal--13-120-*-*-m-*-*-*/' \
    -i src/aax.c

Fix an overuse of some ncurses internal data structures to allow building this package with ncurses-6.5 or later:

sed 's/stdscr->_max\([xy]\) + 1/getmax\1(stdscr)/' \
    -i src/aacurses.c

To allow building this package with GCC-14 or later, add some missing #include directives and fix a bad return statement to make the code C99-compatible. Then regenerate the configure script to ensure the C code for probing system features is C99-compatible as well:

sed -i '1i#include <stdlib.h>'                            \
    src/aa{fire,info,lib,linuxkbd,savefont,test,regist}.c &&
sed -i '1i#include <string.h>'                            \
    src/aa{kbdreg,moureg,test,regist}.c                   &&
sed -i '/X11_KBDDRIVER/a#include <X11/Xutil.h>'           \
    src/aaxkbd.c                                          &&
sed -i '/rawmode_init/,/^}/s/return;/return 0;/'          \
    src/aalinuxkbd.c                                      &&
autoconf

Install AAlib by running the following commands:

./configure --prefix=/usr             \
            --infodir=/usr/share/info \
            --mandir=/usr/share/man   \
            --with-ncurses=/usr       \
            --disable-static          &&
make

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the root user:

make install
