inferno on android. linux-dev-names

i suggest do not embed names of Linux devices to source code, but use a configuration file to read it at boot
time. for example, i not have /dev/fb0, but have /dev/graphics/fb0 on my moto droid2 (perhaps there are
other differences. i don't have environment to rebuild now).
in any case, it is not very convenient - recompile for each device for a pair of strings.

thanks

on Inferno that used to be available at caerwyn.com site are not
available now. Is the archive available at some other site?

Inferno OS

Hi

I am new to Inferno OS.  I have it running on a hosted Linux machine.  My
question is how can I in inferno, ie running emu, list what devices is available
for me to mount.  For example, if I connect up a SD disk via usb.  On the hosted
OS say I can see the device as /dev/sdd.  In inferno, how can see this? Or is
this possible. 

Thanks

Regards

Ignore the last post

It comes out that insertion at front is ok, append is problematic..

Limbo query?

   l : list of (int, string);	(1)
   l = (23, "Joe") :: l;		(2)

1 is accpted by Limbo bu it barfs at 2 with:
   cannot :: (23, "Joe") to of type (int, string)

So how to build a list of tuples?

isnan is a macro on Linux, and should be #undef'ed before declaring

Hi,

I was compiling latest Inferno from hg when the compiler complained
about syntax error at include/mathi.h:59. The line reads "extern int
isnan(double);", and it turns out that isnan is a macro on Linux [1]
defined in math.h, and I worked around that by adding "#undef isnan"
above that line. I considered adding that line to
Linux/*/include/lib9.h, below the '#include "math.h"' line, but that's
more tedious.

I suppose this issue is common to all Linux hosts, so you may to fix this.

The mk log was (cc links to clang on my box. clang wasn't able to
compile *with* this bug fixed, but that's another issue.):

Patch to fix building with pthread

Hi all,

I was unable to build inferno for SYSHOST=Linux and OBJTYPE=spim.
Compiler complained about duplicate definition of getup(). Apparently
this was caused by the latest move of adopting pthread, and I've made
a quick fix to Linux/mips/include/emu.h, as attached. Very likely
there are other targets affected, but I didn't bother to fix them all.
