It does not compile.

I get this error while compiling:

It's tied to a specific, old FBInk version, and not actually using it as a library but directly merging tweaked bits and pieces in the code. Don't expect this to work anywhere else than the author's hardware without some more work.

IIRC, previous issues may have gone into more details.

Yeah, I did got it too compile after a lot of trouble. It works okay, but for it to be practical this program really needs some love (as NiLuJe estbalished in a previous issue, it interfaces with FBInk really weirdly, see https://github.com/kisonecat/fbpad-eink/issues/1).

A real bummer btw, because I would absolutely adore to have a decently working terminal on my kobo. If anyone knows an alternative, be sure to let me know!

There's https://github.com/llandsmeer/inkvt now ;).

Yess, thanks for the suggestion!
