quoting fix for aalib.m4

2005-04-27T09:28:43Z

automake-1.8 and newer want an argument quoted and
produce
a warning if it isn't quoted -- the patch fixes the
problem.

Btw, any chance there'll be a aalib-1.4 release
sometime? :)

I also tried sending this to the author, but got:

Link to libcaca

2005-02-04T01:53:24Z

I found this project as derived from AA-lib. Maybe you from AA-lib
could link to that project, or, maybe, help the author in some way
(*if* the author needs help).

libcaca - Colour AsCii Art library

Thanks!

P.S.: I tried to send this message to hubicka@paru.cas.cz, but this
address isn't valid.

DOS Text mode libs don't compile

2004-11-02T17:49:04Z

I'm trying to compile vga.zip and text.zip with
mingw/msys and it fails because I need go32.h and other
includes.
Then I tried with djgpp, where the includes come from,
using gcc 3.42 and it fails with many errors in the
inline assembly.
I fixed some, but I can't fix them all, so I was
wondering if binary versions of these libraries exist
somewhere.
I already compile mplayer for Windows with aa support,
however I can't use it and I suppose it's because of
the lack of these libraries.

Help on enabling BOLD, DIM and all that

2002-11-02T22:08:08Z

Hi!

I just hacked SDL a little, and tried several ways to
enable BOLD, DIM, etc. All of them work, however they
have no effect. (Setting the mask in default, setting
the masks in a seperate setting, setting the number to
AAMASK_DIM | OR | SOMETHING using the whatsit function
on the contect)

How should I properly set these values so that it works?

I copied the code almost straight from BB, so I really
expected it to work.

AAlib looks garbled in text mode!

2002-11-02T15:14:23Z

Hello

I use aalib with mplayer. It works fine in X11, but the
whole point is being able to use it in text mode.

Unfortunately in text mode, every other line is filled
with blank spaces and one character on the end of the
line. I've tried increasing and decreasing the number
of rows and cols in the picture, and this leads to
distortion.

At this rate I can't use AAlib in textmode!

What should I do to make it work? On my old Linux
system AAlib worked over SSH, but not in the console.
But now it only works in its own X11 window.
