Re: Build failed on latest ELKS

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

This problem (with possible workaround) was reported in:

http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-8086/msg00675.html

The problem is that keymap tables use "extended ascii" characters,
this is, codes greater than 127, and current "make" don't like it. For
example, accented a is written as 'á' and should be written as'\341'.

This include files are C code and should use plain ascii. However,
this is a lot of work.

Juan
