Well, after some fixing I was able to compile and install svgalib-1.4.3 (shipped in slackware 11).
Also I was lucky enough to find (and fix) bug in it. (Couldn't believe it at first)
Al problems were caused by line 1956 in vga.c where
had to be replaced with
That small "misprint" was causing false "mmap error rrr" alerts all the time. It's said in documentation that in case of failure mmap() returns -1, not "something less than zero" (which could be valid address)
The other compilation issues were fixed by disabling et6000 driver which tried to include
<pci.h> that (in turn) was leading to an "parse error" due to __u16 and __u32 types...
I'll make and post a patch later (there were some other small fixes to make this thing work)...
I must say that some programs using svgalib were not working with version 1.9.25. (wich compile easily).
--added--
here is the patch (for the original svgalib-1.4.3 shipped with slackware 11 in /source/l/svgalib/svgalib-1.4.3.tar.gz) to make it compile (and work). Hope it will help someone...:
