  • UCB Logo on Ubuntu

    From Bill Gunshannon@21:1/5 to All on Tue Oct 9 13:04:04 2018
    IS anyone running UCB Logo on current Ubuntu (18.04)?
    I grabbed the tarball but it won't build. Finding
    problems with mathcalls.h right off the bat and then
    more problems later. Is it possible it won't build
    in a 64bit environment?

    I haven't used Logo in years but with my grandson
    growing fast I may want to introduce him to it before
    too long.

    Hi Bill,

    There are at least two options to get UCBLOGO running on your Ubuntu 18.04 system

    Option 1:
    There is UCBLOGO 6.0 in Ubuntu 18.04 (for several platforms including x64) repository, so this should just work:
    $ sudo apt-get install ucblogo
    or use your favorite package manager to install the package (Synaptic etc.).

    Option 2:
    If your prefer pre-WxWidgets version with Emacs Logo-mode included, you can download adapted for building on UBUNTU 16.04 UCBLOGO 5.5-3 tarbal from:

    https://packages.ubuntu.com/source/xenial/ucblogo

    and build it manually. It can be built without any problems on Ubuntu 18.04.

    Personally, I prefer option 2, but for you particular purpose option 1 seems to be more suitable.

    Regards,
    Alexey

    Thank you, I chose option 1: :-)

    I wonder why the UCBLOGO page didn't mention using apt-get
    for linux users. Oh well, now I can play. Let's see how
    much I can actually remember after a more than 20 year
    hiatus from Logo.
