Description
This article is from the Apple II GNO FAQ, by Devin Reade with numerous contributions by others.
6.8: GNO with ORCA: What libraries are used for the combination ofGNO v2.0.4 and ORCA/C v2.1.x?
A#6.8: You must have the following libraries in the sequence given:
/lib/lcrypt (GNO v2.0.1)
/lib/lregexp (GNO v2.0.1)
/lib/lstring (GNO v2.0.1)
/lib/ltermcap (GNO v2.0.1)
/lib/libc (GNO v2.0.4) [rename to "nlibc" for HFS]
/lib/OrcaLib (ORCA/C v2.1.x)
/lib/PasLib (ORCA/Pascal v2.1.x, required if and only if
you use ORCA Pascal)
/lib/SysFloat (ORCA/C v2.1.x)
/lib/SysLib (ORCA/C v2.1.x)
Note the OrcaLib should be the one shipped with ORCA/C v2.1.x.
You can use it provided that you apply the va_end fix described
in Q#11.1.
You should also install the list of recommended libraries listed
in the latter part of Q#6.7.
Some people believe the ORCA/C v2.1.x library won't work properly
with pipes. This has neither been demonstrated nor disproved.
If you find hard evidence either way, please contact Devin Reade
at the address at the top of this FAQ.
If you need pipes, you can try the libraries that shipped with GNO
v2.0.1, but you will not get any of the Byte Works bug fixes. Also,
it has been reported that the GNO modifications introduced stdio
bugs that weren't in the original version (no details available).
Note that you must keep the versions of OrcaLib, SysFloat, and
SysLib consistent; you cannot use some from OrcaC v2.0.x and others
from OrcaC v2.1.x. You may run into problems from unexpected
behavior to memory trashing.
