Re: [MiNT] Issue with Mint 1.19 and Litchi (maybe solved)



I yet have to verify and test.

As Vincent pointed out in 1), it's bad design. I use Fselect(1,...) because it seemed elegant from what I read, but I misunderstood the purpose at the first time and forgot to fix it after. In STinG API, this function does not exist, so you have to be at 100% and compute the timeout yourself.

So keep MiNT's behavior as it is now, I will spend this evening and tomorrow for tests and release fixes instead of working on the new Troll. I'm not happy right now, but it will pass.

PS@JFL: I don't mind, my GFA code is old, and I consider my programs as crap.

Cheers,

Raj

Finally, I think we should consider to revert the Fselect() change in
FreeMiNT, since it broke old software, and it is no more useful for new
binaries...
I'm not sure Pierre and Olivier will appreciate their current
developments being called "old software" :-)
