Inferno on Ubuntu Noble Numbat

[Caerwyn Jones]

Hi,

Running into an issue with compiling and running inferno on ubuntu noble.  Has anyone else ran into this and know of a workaround?

emu/port/alloc.c defines its own malloc and free.

LibX11 in this ubuntu version now  calls  XInitThreads() in  the startup constructor for the dynamic library.  So it gets called before main() during the C runtime setup. XInitThreads() calls malloc() which uses the emu/port/alloc.c version, which I'm guessing is not ready to be called yet.

If I use the GNU linker's wrap feature for malloc and free, I'l later get X11 errors when calling free() that it's been passed an invalid pointer.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Caerwyn

You probably need this for Linux too now:
