[Code](https://code.9front.org/hg/drawterm).

## Linux

For audio to work under Linux without `/dev/dsp`, one can use `sndio`.
Install it with your favorite package manager, run `sndiod`, modify `Make.unix`:
change `AUDIO=unix` to `AUDIO=sndio` and add `-lsndio` to `LDADD`. Run `make CONF=unix`.
Sound should work now.

Since 9front is supposed to be used with three-button mouse, sometimes X11 (or Wayland)
gets in the way of that, especially on Thinkpads, by emulating mouse wheel scroll with
the middle trackpad button. It is advised to completely disable it. With sway
`input * scroll_button disable` needs to be added to the configuration.
With X11 `xinput` has to be used to disable mouse wheel emulation.

## OpenBSD
Run or add to your .xinitrc `xinput set-prop "/dev/wsmouse" "WS Pointer Wheel Emulation" 0`
to disable mouse wheel emulation.

## Android

Install [termux](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.termux)
and run there:

	# optional: pkg install unstable-repo && apt upgrade ### answer 'A' to all questions
	pkg install x11-repo
	pkg install clang python2 make libx11 xorgproto
	pip2 install mercurial
	hg clone http://code.9front.org/hg/drawterm
	cd drawterm
	make CONF=unix -j4

At this point you have a functional `./drawterm` that you can run with
`-G` to skip graphics.

`/mnt/term/root/data/data/com.termux/files/home` is where your Termux local
files are exposed.
