[Linux-ham] attempting to compile BPQtermTCP on Raspberry PI

[Tadd Torborg]

I found a program called BPQtermTCP that is just wonderful on MSWindows.  It gives a nice keyboard entry area while showing the echo of things that have been sent with <ENTER> as well as any incoming traffic on the BPQ node.  

This site explains how KB8PMY got it to work on Linux and provides the source code

This site has the source code

I put it on the PI and attempted to make it.  It called out libraries.  

CC = gcc

CFLAGS = -Wall			 	\
	-DG_DISABLE_DEPRECATED 	 	\
	-DGDK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED 	\
	-DGDK_PIXBUF_DISABLE_DEPRECATED
	
TermTCP: TermTCP.c 
	$(CC) TermTCP.c -o TermTCP $(CFLAGS) `pkg-config gtk+-2.0 --cflags --libs` 

Clean:
	rm -f *.o TermTCP
	


So.. I did this:
sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev
I found a comment on the web about GTK lib and it suggested this:  So I did this.  
sudo apt-get install glade


and then make
which seemed to generate an output file even though giving warnings.  But then the program won’t run.  It says
pi at dewvil ~/bpqterm $ make
gcc TermTCP.c -o TermTCP -Wall -DG_DISABLE_DEPRECATED -DGDK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED -DGDK_PIXBUF_DISABLE_DEPRECATED `pkg-config gtk+-2.0 --cflags --libs` 
TermTCP.c: In function ‘get_fontname’:
TermTCP.c:886:5: warning: passing argument 2 of ‘strcpy’ from incompatible pointer type [enabled by default]
/usr/include/string.h:128:14: note: expected ‘const char * __restrict__’ but argument is of type ‘struct PangoFontDescription *’
pi at dewvil ~/bpqterm $ ls
Makefile  TermTCP  TermTCP.c  TermTCP.c.tar
pi at dewvil ~/bpqterm $ ./TermTCP

(TermTCP:11942): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: 


I’m not a very good linux hacker, yet.  This may be trivial for all I know.  What next?

Thanks.
