xcalpr.c:89:21: error: initializer element is not constant
static FILE *fout = stdout;

Everything I'm reading says that hasn't been valid C since before ANSI standardization way back in the '80s.

Oh, duh. The Debian package page has a diff file downloaded separately, and some of them are patches to the C files fixing the compiler error I'm getting. Guess I should read it, edit the source, and re-diff them.

The latest date in xcal's CHANGES file is 1995-09-13.

I don't. Using cpp6 installed by the gcc package works.

@ticky Ruby's decisions about how to encode strings and when the default encodings are overridden mystify me. The String and Encoding class docs barely help me at all.

If a native HDBF VM exists and GCC is ported to it, then it's all over.

... I'm afraid to write hello-world in it.

@nev 1. IDK. It feels like half the Web decided using CMSs reinventing the HTML wheel in JavaScript was only slightly less bad than reinventing it in Flash, thus A-OK and the way to go.

2. You're right, but without choosing to trust that their JS won't do funny things to my browser, I have no way of knowing whether or how much they detract from the story instead of help it.

Note: I disable JavaScript just about everywhere, and since Medium uses JS instead of HTML to embed images, that means I haven't seen any in the story.

I don't know if I need a version of gcc so old, but I'm wearing out.
