Is there any quick way to test if sound is working? I have a couple sound-using games that should suffice. https://661.org/proj/if/uninvited/uninvited.zblorb https://661.org/proj/if/oldcode/soundtest.blb The first is a reimplementation of Uninvited (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uninvited_(video_game)) and the second is intended to quickly and easily test all of Frotz's audio capabilities. > What about that ncursesw thing? I think it is NetBSD-specific? It might be. The distinction between old BSD curses and ncurses has been a source of problems over the years. I'm puzzled as to why it would complain there because I went over curses stuff repeatedly with all the BSDs prior to releasing 2.50 and it still compiles fine outside of the ports system. >> How is this patch supposed to be applied? > > Just like as you did.

I updated it with Subversion. After fixing them by hand, I noticed that the patch zeroed out patch-src_curses_ux__audio__oss.c instead of deleting it. That caused a complaint from the ports Makefile. After manually deleting that, I got the same error you did. So, now we're sort of on the same page. I'll prod at this over the next couple days. NetBSD already has 2.50 commited.
