Hi there folx,
I have this problem with running my favorite
binary from SCO , which is cscope , under FreeBSD.
The thing is source code browser,which I have been
using for a few years already. I find it _very useful
when 1 want's to take a dive into source code,especially
big chunk of it written by some1 else.
But , the thing doesn't work a 100% under FreeBSD. It
does start, builds cross-reference table and whatever
files it needs to work, but behaves _very wierd when
I try to control it ( it uses termlib).
No matter what I type at the prompts, as soon as I
press enter , the chars I typed just dissapear and
looks like cscope itself sees none of my input,which
makes it pretty much useless.
I do have a valid /usr/lib/termlib/*/* file for my
TERM type and I beleive SCO entries in /dev/*.
Program doesn't complain about no errors - just
flushes down the toilet everything I type :((
The same program does work 100% under BSDI 2.1, but
I need it on my WS which runs FreeBSD. What could
be the problem here ?
I tried ^J instead of enter - with same results.
Played with stty cs* and stuff - no luck there
as well.
It does recognize some commands though - for example
"?" , shell escape .
When I try to "tee" it, I can see some message about
IBCS2: 'ioctl' fd=2, typ=106(j), num=5 not implemented
