6.1: Do I need separate installations of ORCA/C for use with GNO and ORCA/Shell?
Description
This article is from the Apple II GNO FAQ, by Devin Reade with numerous contributions by others.
6.1: Do I need separate installations of ORCA/C for use with GNO and ORCA/Shell?
A#6.1: At least partly, yes, although it is possible to reduce duplication
to a minimum.
GNO requires modifications to some header files and libraries,
as well as the additions of others that don't come with ORCA/C.
The remaining questions in this section of the FAQ explain how
to set up such a split installation. This will allow you run
both GNO and ORCA/Shell (but not concurrently). The latter is
necessary when submitting bug reports to the Byte Works. Mike
Westerfield (quite rightly) does not generally accept bug reports
about programs that fail under GNO but run correctly under
ORCA/Shell.
CAVEAT: For the methods explained in this section to work, you must
be using occ v1.14 when doing compilations with ORCA/C
v2.0.x. This is because occ v1.14 will allow older versions
of ORCA/C to #include the 13/orcacdefs/defaults.h file which
is automatically included by ORCA/C v2.1.x.
If you are using ORCA/C v2.0.x but not occ, you will have
to use the #pragma path directive in all of your sources.
Failure to do so may result in compilation errors or
unexplained crashes.
Any version of occ may be used when compiling with ORCA/C
v2.1.x.
These methods are not quite error-free. See Q#11.11 for
details.
The information in this section has been used to set up combinations
of GNO v2.0.4 and GNO v2.0.6 with ORCA/C v2.0.3 and ORCA/C v2.1.x.
