Hi!
I just installed svgalib to my zipslack 7.0 (slackware without GUIs on a
DOS partition) laptop linux box and have a problem. I got a very basic
console pixel graphics program compiled (gcc -O3 -o testvga testvga.c -lvga)
and executed, so I suppose it works and is installed correctly.
The problem is with security. I could not get this to comiple unless I
switched to supervisor rights. Also, the compiled program would not execute
unless I had su rights. I tried what you suggested in the dox with 'chmod
u+s testvga' but this only changed the permissions from -rwzr-xr-x to
-rwsr-xr-x when listing the directory. The program would not run.
Also, what I want to do with this is give my AP Computer Science students
a graphics library to play with (we're using g++ primarily), so giving them
su rights is not a good idea!
Please help,
