I just got this ascii graphics library at the recommendation of a
friend (who I later found out cannot program; he merely saw the BB
graphics demo).
As was stated in README, I also got the VGA lib and the TEXT lib, both
of which I was able to compile with a simple "make" command. When I
got around to compiling AAlib itself however (using "make -f
makefile.dos") I find that the file "stdin" requires "gpm.h".
Copied direct from the dos box:
>C:\DJGPP\programs\aalibtst\aalib-1.2>make -f makefile.dos
>gcc -O2 -m486 -fstrength-reduce -ffast-math -fomit-frame-pointer -I../text -Wall
> -c aastdin.c -o aastdin.o
>aastdin.c:9: gpm.h: No such file or directory (ENOENT)
>make.exe: *** [aastdin.o] Error 1
>C:\DJGPP\programs\aalibtst\aalib-1.2>
Three questions: did I decipher the error message correctly? Where can
I find the gpm library for dos? (I already know its an integral part
of linux) And finally, does anyone else here know/use the AAlib ascii
art library?
In case anyone is interested, the homepage for the project is
