Hi !
Anyone got any luck with libvt on xtc68 ? I get Undefined Symbol: '___ANSICONF__' when trying to compile using -lvt. I know that libvt was written for C68, but....
I´m going nuts trying to find some kind of equivalent to a conio-like library.
Anyone solved this ?

Probably stupid question, but did you include "ansicondef.h" in your source?

Yes, of course. Otherwise I’d get error instead...

xtc68 uses the exact same libraries as C68 - No problem.
Can you give the command line you used to build your program?

Put the "-lvt" to the end of the command line and you should be fine.
Linker command lines are sensitive to the order of options. "-lvt" at the beginning tells the linker "first look for any unknown symbols in libvt_a and resolve all, then compile and link test.c with the standard libraries". At the point "-lvt" is done, there are no unknown symbols (yet, because test.c is compiled later), thus nothing from libvt is actually pulled into your program.

Hi,
I was going to port ncurses to C68, do you think this would be of any use?
