AROS ports + How to get back into C/C++

Hey Rodney,

Yes, libexpat has been ported already, you can find it in the contrib dir, indeed.

About the buffer overflow... what exactly do you mean? Is it an error the shell report? If so, then it must be because our shell doesn't handle paths longer than 256 characters (I know, this is a limitation which I always forget we have... need to find the time to fix it), and it might be that the current pathname lenght is longer than the maximum. Try renaming the contrib dir from its name to just "contrib", and see if things change.

It was in Zune, actualy, but i guess it all comes down to the shell!

Zune? Could you please tell me in detail what happened, then?

Thanks a lot.

Basicly i extracted the AROS-contrib-all bz2 archive under the AROS-linux directory. Once AROS loaded, which was damn fast! I'd open the system "drive" by double clicking it on the desktop/workbench and proceed to AROS-blablalbla-contib-all (this was before i renamed it) and double click on some of the demos. All of the ones i tried said "buffer overflow". That message was presented in a small window, possibly with an OK button or something.

Aaah, ok, then it was Wanderer... I'll have a look.

And no, libXpm has not been ported, AFAIK.
