Hi Phil,

This looks close, but needs a little adjustment.

Specifically, the configuration file should ALSO have a line which says:

SET QVSS ENABLE

This will enable the video device and if the operating system you run (VMS or Ultrix) has graphic device support (DECWindows, or something else) and that device support has devices for the QVSS (aka VCB01) device, then things should work reasonably well.  DECWindows under VMS has device support for this.

Hi Phil,

Dave suggested how DECWindows is started when the system boots, but it isn’t clear that you done everything else that might be necessary for that to be useful.

You mention libcbl-dev, but I’ve never heard of that.  Maybe you’ve mistyped something.

A little more information will be useful to help you:

1)      Please provide the output produced when you built the simulator you are working with.

2)      Please provide the configuration file you are using to setup and run your simulator

3)      Please provide the output produced when you enter SHOW VERSION at the “sim> “ prompt when running the simulator in question.

interestingly enough the pdp8 simulator seems fine. At least with rx devices

Same issue on my desktop.
I have used this very same process on older versions with my desktop
running an AMD FX processor, linux mint 18, and it has worked.
I went to the trailing edge page and went to the software kits section and
downloaded the 2 RSTS images.
I have looked in my archived copies if the kit, and the file sizes for the
disk images in my archived copy match the newly downloaded one.

this image I am using (rsts_full_rl.dsk) is newly downloaded from the kits
page on the
trailing edge site.

First, please follow the exact same steps (grabbing the same disk image),
using the same configuration file on any of your other favorite simh
hosts.  If this produces the same result, then it's not a platform problem.
In any case, precisely describe the steps, configuration file and source
of the disk image.
Let me know what you find.
  - Mark
Ok. So I switched to my tablet  (Samsung tab a) running 7.1.1 and things
built fine.  I pulled the software kit for rsts and when I tried to mount
the prebuilt rl0 the simulator errored.
RL0: non expandable disk rsts_full_r.dsk is smaller than simulated device
(2617KW < 2621KW)
File size according to ls -l is 5235200
Any ideas?
Skip the AltairZ80 for now.  The change that caused the redefinition was
done to potentially help the AltairZ80 author to fix the glob.h missing
issue.
Pull the latest and you should hopefully be able to build all but the
AltairZ80 simulator.

The github master branch code should now work under termux on Android for
at least Marshmallow on up.  I have tested Marshmallow and Oreo.  I would
1)      Install termux from the Google Play Store
    $ pkg install clang make git
    $ git clone https://github.com/simh/simh
    $ cd simh
    $ make vax
    $ BIN/vax
    sim> B
If you end up at the >>> prompt everything looks good.  If you did this
without a physical keyboard connected, you won’t be able to type Control-E
to get back to the sim> prompt.  Just enter B ZZZ which is an unknown
device and the boot ROM will halt returning you to the sim> prompt.
Once you get that far, all the other simulators should build fine and be
usable pretty much like on most other Linux environments.  Things which
require root access won’t work since termux doesn’t give you that.  It
would be interesting to know if NAT mode networking works for the VAX
simulators

I did a little digging and struggled with typing a whole bunch on my
phone.
The problem you’re seeing is due to the Linux OS environment you’re
running under doesn’t support ‘raw’ mode for terminal I/O.  When you
start a simulator the traffic to/from the simulated console device is
expected to be exactly the characters that the user types on the console
keyboard.  To achieve this, the current tt mode is gathered with
tcgetattr()
then those attributes are adjusted so that every character typed is
received
without any interpretation by the OS and output is also not translated
(i.e.
\n only sends a LF character instead of CRLF characters).  The error
message,
you seeing is due to the call a tcsetattr() failing.

Hi Phil,

Most likely cause is the X11 server (Xephyr ?) is not allowing connections from the emulated VAX (X11 client).
With any luck the X11 server will have a log file somewhere showing the connection attempt.

Also check that you can connect from the VAX to the X11 server, e.g.
$ telnet 192.168.42.130 /port=6003
If you get “no route to host”, “connection refused” or similar you have a basic TCP/IP issue between your VMS environment and the host PC.

Regards,

Jeremy Begg

Hi Phil,
This looks close, but needs a little adjustment.
SET QVSS ENABLE
This will enable the video device and if the operating system you run (VMS or Ultrix) has graphic device support (DECWindows, or something else) and that device support has devices for the QVSS (aka VCB01) device, then things should work reasonably well. DECWindows under VMS has device support for this.

Hi Phil,
Dave suggested how DECWindows is started when the system boots, but it isn’t clear that you done everything else that might be necessary for that to be useful.
You mention libcbl-dev, but I’ve never heard of that. Maybe you’ve mistyped something.
1) Please provide the output produced when you built the simulator you are working with.
2) Please provide the configuration file you are using to setup and run your simulator
3) Please provide the output produced when you enter SHOW VERSION at the “sim> “ prompt when running the simulator in question.

interestingly enough the pdp8 simulator seems fine. At least with rx devices

Same issue on my desktop.
I have used this very same process on older versions with my desktop
running an AMD FX processor, linux mint 18, and it has worked.
I went to the trailing edge page and went to the software kits section and
downloaded the 2 RSTS images.
I have looked in my archived copies if the kit, and the file sizes for the
disk images in my archived copy match the newly downloaded one.

this image I am using (rsts_full_rl.dsk) is newly downloaded from the kits
page on the
trailing edge site.

First, please follow the exact same steps (grabbing the same disk image),
using the same configuration file on any of your other favorite simh
hosts. If this produces the same result, then it's not a platform problem.
In any case, precisely describe the steps, configuration file and source
of the disk image.
Let me know what you find.
- Mark
Ok. So I switched to my tablet (Samsung tab a) running 7.1.1 and things
built fine. I pulled the software kit for rsts and when I tried to mount
the prebuilt rl0 the simulator errored.
RL0: non expandable disk rsts_full_r.dsk is smaller than simulated device
(2617KW < 2621KW)
File size according to ls -l is 5235200
Any ideas?
Skip the AltairZ80 for now. The change that caused the redefinition was
done to potentially help the AltairZ80 author to fix the glob.h missing
issue.
Pull the latest and you should hopefully be able to build all but the
AltairZ80 simulator.

I just got that error too and now after doing a make clean, I cannot
build anything.
I'm having issues compiling on the note 8 with android 8.
Getting glob.h not found on the altairz80 and most give a warning about
redefinition of *DIR_ENTRY_CALLBACK

Works fine for me - LineageOS 14.1 (which is basically Nougat 7.1) on a
Nexus 7 tablet.

The github master branch code should now work under termux on Android for
at least Marshmallow on up. I have tested Marshmallow and Oreo. I would
1) Install termux from the Google Play Store
$ pkg install clang make git
$ git clone https://github.com/simh/simh <https://github.com/simh/simh>
$ cd simh
$ make vax
$ BIN/vax
sim> B
If you end up at the >>> prompt everything looks good. If you did this
without a physical keyboard connected, you won’t be able to type Control-E
to get back to the sim> prompt. Just enter B ZZZ which is an unknown
device and the boot ROM will halt returning you to the sim> prompt.
Once you get that far, all the other simulators should build fine and be
usable pretty much like on most other Linux environments. Things which
require root access won’t work since termux doesn’t give you that. It
would be interesting to know if NAT mode networking works for the VAX
simulators

I did a little digging and struggled with typing a whole bunch on my
phone.
The problem you’re seeing is due to the Linux OS environment you’re
running under doesn’t support ‘raw’ mode for terminal I/O. When you
start a simulator the traffic to/from the simulated console device is
expected to be exactly the characters that the user types on the console
keyboard. To achieve this, the current tt mode is gathered with
tcgetattr()
then those attributes are adjusted so that every character typed is
received
without any interpretation by the OS and output is also not translated
(i.e.
\n only sends a LF character instead of CRLF characters). The error
message,
you seeing is due to the call a tcsetattr() failing.

As I wrote previously, it's likely the MIT Magic cookie.

See xhost and xauth man pages for info on what you need to do (on the
server) to allow the VAX to connect.

If you have a firewalled environment, you may get sufficiently
frustrated to do the dangerous

xhost +

(Which turns off authentication by the server.)

However, that's entirely at your own risk, and I never suggested it.

Post by Phil King
Hi Phil,
Most likely cause is the X11 server (Xephyr ?)  is not allowing
connections from the emulated VAX (X11 client).
With any luck the X11 server will have a log file somewhere showing the connection attempt.
Also check that you can connect from the VAX to the X11 server, e.g.
$ telnet 192.168.42.130 /port=6003
If you get “no route to host”, “connection refused” or similar you
have a basic TCP/IP issue between your VMS environment and the host PC.
Regards,
Jeremy Begg
