[Bug] VICE 1.8 does not compile on Linux

The information in this article applies to the following versions of VICE:

SYMPTOMS

Trying to compile VICE on a Linux box does not work.

CAUSE

There are a handfull of ^L located randomly within the files src/arch/unix/readline/editline.c and src/arch/unix/readline/editline2.c which do not belong there.

SOLUTION

Just remove every ^L (remark: This is not a Control+L, but really two characters, a circumflex "^" and an "L") from the files src/arch/unix/readline/editline.c and src/arch/unix/readline/editline2.c and compile again.

STATUS

The VICE team has confirmed this to be a problem in the VICE versions listed at the beginning of this article. It has been corrected in all subsequent versions.
