Subject: Change to Vask, ESC and RET do not work in winterm on IRIX

Platform: Irix
grass obtained from: Trento Italy site
grass binary for platform: Downloaded precompiled Binaries
GRASS Version: 5.0.0pre5

this is just to remind of the bug that on IRIX the ESC and RET do not work in
the winterm (standard terminal).
Reason may be that something in the vask library etc. has changed. 
See the communication on the grass5 list for details.

In the latest CVS version the Esc and Return keys are now working. All the 
keys on the right hand numeric keypad work, however the arrow keys don't (and
they did before) but this is a minor inconvenience compared to the Esc and 
Return now working.

Subject: pre compiled binaries for IRIX does not work

Platform: other
grass obtained from: Trento Italy site
grass binary for platform: Downloaded precompiled Binaries
GRASS Version: 5.0.0pre5


The precompiled binaries installed just fine, however when you run grass it does
not
recognize the <esc> <enter> sequence.

I have tried to run it from the origin2000 console and O2 workstation and a PC
running the XWin32 program.

We have no problem with the precompiled binaries for version 5.0beta11 as it
runs fine.

This bug has been fixed in the current CVS version (although the arrow
keys now do not work, but that is a minor inconvenience).

The workaround is not to start GRASS from an IRIX winterm, but from an
xterm or other terminal emulator.
E.g. type
xterm&
and in the new window that opens, type
grass5

The Esc and Enter keys will work in the xterm.

This is exactly the same as bug number 1240

This is getting even more strange.

The recent changes to the vask library disable the use of keypad() if
configure fails to detect that function. If keypad() is detected, it
will be used. If the system doesn't provide that function, then I
would have expected that the original code would simply fail to link,
rather than resulting in problems at run-time.

The changes were actually made in response to a problem with MacOSX,
reported on GRASSLIST by Michael O'Dell [GRASSLIST:4655]. There, any
programs which used vask failed to link due to an undefined symbol
error for keypad.

Hi,

does this bug still apply to GRASS 6.1?

I think it probably does, although I'm not really in a position to test 
GRASS on IRIX any more. I used to maintain a locally-modified version to 
avoid the problem. Or you can use an xterm rather than an IRIX winterm as 
mentioned above. In any case the bug appears to be in the IRIX winterm 
rather than GRASS so there isn't much need to worry about it, and now that 
the TclTk startup is the default rather than text-based, it is less likely 
to be a total block to people just starting with GRASS (if they even get so 
far as to compile it on IRIX... :P).

Just a footnote to this:
That comment from guest (which was actually me) is not correct as that was a
temporary bug in the CVS version (config.h wasn't #included somewhere IIRC).
When it was fixed properly Esc-Enter didn't work again! See bug 1364 for 
more comment.
