Hi there, I’m developing for TOS with Vincent’s cross-compilers and automatically this uses mintlib. I’ve encountered a problem which causes output redirection to break in a situation where parent application (using mintlib) Pexec’s a child application and child application tries to redirect con to aux (Fforce(1,2)). This seems to be caused by mintlib/main.c calling Fforce(2,-1) /* if stderr is not re-directed to a file, force 2 to console * (UNLESS we've been run from a shell we trust, i.e. one that supports * the official ARGV scheme, in which case we leave stderr be). */ if(!*_argv[0] && isatty (2)) (void) Fforce(2, -1); This doesn’t seem to be valid for TOS machines because -1 (BIOS) handle is only available on MiNT and Magic. For some reason this call makes further calls to redirect handle=2 ignored? This in itself is probably not desired but I’d argue that mintlib shouldn’t be doing that in the first place under plain TOS. Or I’m missing something and there’s another way of redirecting con to serial? Regards Mariusz |
