[Zhcon-users] 0.2.6 compile error

[Yida Z. <yi...@gm...>]

Hi there,

When building the 0.2.6 version, after issue "make" command, I got the
following warnings and errors:

fblinear24.cpp in member function 'virtual void FBLinear24::RevRect(init,
int, int, int)':
fblinear24.cpp:139:63: warning: operation on 'dest32' may be undefined
[-Wsequence-point]
fblinear4.cpp: in member function 'virtual void FBLinear4::FillRect(init,
int, int, int)':
fblinear4.cpp:75:29: error: 'memset' was not declared in this scope
make[3]: *** [fblinearr.0] Error 1

Since I've built my linux system from source code following the "Linux from
scratch" book version 7.2 and my architecture is x86_64, is zhcon only for
32-bit platform? And for your reference, my kernel version is 3.5.2 and
frame butter support was included in the kernel.

It also looks to me that the variable declaration is missing, does this
mean that there are some header files wrong or missing?

Another guess is that the 'memset' were defined in fblinear24.cpp for
32-bit platform and because I'm having a 64-bit platform, it was not
defined. And this resulted in the consequence error reported in
fblinear4.cpp.

Thanks for your help.

Regards,
Yida Zhang

[Zhcon-users] Does zhcon support mono LED screen?

[Steven W. <nar...@gm...>]

Hi List,

We are developing a Chinese application on a arm based embedded linux
system, and we are thining about using zhcon to support Chinese
display ( Chinese inputing is not required ).

The screen is a mono LED which are supported by the OS as a normal
console/terminal hence transparent to application.

But I heard that zhcon does *not* support terminal without color
capacity. I can not understand that and hope I can get your
confirmation about if or no it is true.  If true, what do we do? Is
there any other method to help our project?

Thanks in advance.

[Zhcon-users] I cannot invoke zhcon in vim and cannot use zhcon input method as user

[myusernet <myu...@16...>]

   I hav two questions:
1) When I am using vim in console, I want to type some Chinese, and I invoke zhcon as usual (that means I can use zhcon in bash) but vim tells me error with code E29
2) I apt-get install zhcon and cannot invoke input method as common user, but root is OK. What is the problem?

[Zhcon-users] ANN: zhcon 0.2.6, bug fixed version

[ejoy <ej...@us...>]

Hello,
  Some people have found a bug in 0.2.5 release where a segfault is
caused by no zhcon.conf in /etc/.
This is because the location of zhcon.conf has been moved to
$prefix/etc/zhcon.conf which is /usr/local/etc/zhcon.conf by default.
I've prepared a new version 0.2.6 to address this problem. As this is
a small fix, only diff file is provided:
http://zhcon.sourceforge.net/zhcon-0.2.5-to-0.2.6.diff.gz
or
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/zhcon/zhcon-0.2.5-to-0.2.6.diff.gz?downl=
oad

To apply the patch:
> tar zxf zhcon-0.2.5.tar.gz
> cd zhcon-0.2.5
> zcat ../zhcon-0.2.5-to-0.2.6.diff.gz | patch -p1
patching file ChangeLog
patching file NEWS
patching file configure
patching file configure.in
patching file src/configfile.cpp
patching file src/display/vgadev.cpp

Hi

I'm using zhcon 0.2.3

I have tried to used the JIS encoding but it shows nothing but strange

When I use EUC-JP encoding it works - almost:
Double width characters are show correctly , but single width characters (
start byte = 0x8e ) are shown as two single byte "ASCII" characters

Where did I go wrong?

[Zhcon-users] FreeBSD console freezes

[Gandalf <ga...@ge...>]

 Hi All!

I'm using FreeBSD 5.2.1 with VESA support compiled. When I start zhcon, 
my console goes blank. Sometimes green and red lines appear on the screen.
However, I'm still able to start typing commands like

reboot

and it is working. I have tried this with an Intel video card and an 
nVidia TNT2 card, in two different computers, with the same results.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Re: [Zhcon-users] Need help with 'blank' screen (error found)

[Svend E. N. <se_...@ho...>]

Hi again

The error was caused by my program - sorry!
My application can handle multiple languages - and depending on the select 
language - different charactersets are loaded from within my application: 
Ex.: insmod nls_iso8859-05
So the system commands that the application issued to setup these drivers - 
caused the screen to go blank.

The workarond is to avoid these (and I don't need them when running zhcon) 
when running from within zhcon.

Best regards
Svend Erik

[Zhcon-users] Need help with 'blank' screen

[Svend E. N. <se_...@ho...>]

Hi

I'm using zhcon 0.2.1.
I have installed it on my test system and it works fine.

On my target system the the screen goes black/blank a few seconds after my 
applications starts.
I can get the screen back by swiching between consoles (CTRL-ALT-F2 and then 
back with CTRL-ALT-F2). After doing so the screen is ok again and stays ok!

zhcon har not been installed/compiled on the target system - but the 
binaries has been moved onto the target system from the system where the 
target kernel was originally compiled.
Target system: 100 MHz 486 / 32M byte RAM / disk 64 M byte DiskOnChip 
(readOnly file system) no swap file. Graphical chip HM86508 / 1M byte video 
memory (the cpu board is called Wafer 4823)
Kernel 2.24
Appiication uses ncurses and gpm. gpm has been patched.

Hope for some answers
best regards
Svend Erik Nissen

[Zhcon-users] zhcon 0.2.3 released!

[Zhang Le <ej...@us...>]

Hi all zhcon fans,
    I've prepared a new release of zhcon with version number 0.2.3.
    This version is a bug fixed version along with many enhancement
    targeted for FreeBSD system. Now this version can be built "out of
    box" on latest FreeBSD distribution 4.8 and 5.0. No patch is
    required any more ;-)

    A new command line argument is added which can be specified to let 
    zhcon run a program on start. For example:
    zhcon screen
    will run screen on start

    detail changes:
    * Fixed: build on FreeBSD 4.8 and 5.0
    * Fixed: show "FreeBSD" on startup 
    * Fixed: LC_ALL=zh_CN.EUC on FreeBSD
    * Fixed: BSD locale dir on /usr/local/share/locale

    Changes in patch 0.2.2 is merged in this version too.

    You can get it from:
    http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/zhcon/zhcon-0.2.3.tar.gz?download

    Have fun!

[Zhcon-users] patch for zhcon-0.2.2 released

[Zhang Le <ej...@pe...>]

Hi all zhcon fans:
    A patch that upgrades zhcon-0.2.1 to zhcon-0.2.2 has just been released.

    Though zhcon-0.2.1 works well on most Linux when it was released,
    many users found it refuse to work on Red-Hat 8.0 and MDK 9.0. This
    patch fixes that bug along with some minor changes.

    This is a bug fixed version from zhcon 0.2.1, no new features are
    added. You need *not* upgrade if zhcon already runs well on your machine.
    
    To save bandwidth, only a diff file is provided. You can find it at:
http://osdn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/zhcon/zhcon-0.2.2.diff.gz

    Tar ball may come later.
