Hello
I am compiling the BSD 'calendar' in linux (OpenSUSE 11.1).
BTW, any idea why 'calendar' is not included in the base system ? Is
there an alternative ? I installed gcal (GNU cal), but despite it saying
in the man page "Gcal is a program similar the standard calendar programs
BSD-`cal' and `calendar'." it seems to me that it is only a replacement
for cal, not for calendar.
If you are not familiar with calendar, you can read its manpage here:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=calendar&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+7.2-RELEASE&format=html
The only problem that I could not solve yet is this error:
io.c: In function 'cal':
io.c:137: error: 'D_MD_ORDER' undeclared (first use in this function)
Line 137 is this one:
d_first = (*nl_langinfo(D_MD_ORDER) == 'd');
I searched in the internet and I found out that D_MD_ORDER means
"month or day order", which I understand to mean: should the day
or the month appear first ? That is, in English that call would
return 'm' while, for instance, in Portuguese it would return 'd'.
I think D_MD_ORDER should be defined in /usr/include/langinfo.h
but it is not there in linux (I currently don't have a BSD system
to check if that is the right place).
Can somebody confirm that D_MD_ORDER is in fact not implemented
(yet ?) in linux ? Or is it defined somewhere else ? (Where ?)
I am thinking of 'solving' the compilation problem with an
#ifdef D_MD_ORDER
d_first = (*nl_langinfo(D_MD_ORDER) == 'd');
#else
d_first = 0;
#endif
What do you think ? Any suggestions ?
BTW, when I finish compiling it for linux is there somewhere I can
send it, so that it might get included in the usual distributions ?

What base system? Different distributions include different stuff.
Suse evidently decided that they didn't want that particular program.

Debian already includes it. So do many other distributions.

You can probably extract "d_first" from scanning the date format
string for the language you can get using "nl_langinfo(D_FMT)".
