Re: [gccsdk] VFP vs FPA in library builds

Rhett,
I have found my work on that and I would be very happy if it saves you some time.
There is a file where I was keeping track of what I had done and what I wanted to get done.
I just zipped up the whole dir and bunged it here:
http://riscix.info/nettle12.tgz
There is a conflict in that you can't us this and the default build interchangeable as mine extends the book marks file format to hold the key name and the original version doesn't like this. I think I only extended the English template file correctly. That is any other languages will have English names for the extra fields.
I believe it was building and running on RISC OS 4.39 when I looked at it last about 2015, but I know it spat it when I tried it on a pi. Normally I just telnet a linux box and ssh from there so I just worked around the issue and never got back to it.

I also did some other work to make it more putty/iTerm2 like in that selected text is put on the clip board and adjust I think pastes.

Actually, support for keys is precisely what I'm after, so if there's
extant work I could carry on from, that'd be great! I'm also curious to
know what was keeping it from building for the Pi, since I'm using a Pi 2
as my RISC OS hardware at the moment. I'm fairly experienced with
low-level systems, but RISC OS and the gccsdk are very new subjects to me.

Best,
Rhett
