Bug Description

BSVC is a Motorola 68000 simulator for Linux and Windows using TCL/TK and C++, which is there from ten years ago. Since 2005 it's no longer mantained, but I have managed to compile it under Linux and even adapt it to compile under the Debian policies, and package it on a Deb file. Please, feel free to review new version 2.2, I'm still waiting for response from it's original author (my thanks go for him for this useful piece of code). I think it's not yet mature, please, test it, but it executes as a normal user, so it's not specially dangerous. You can consider this as a fork, until I get any response. I think many people could be interested on it, specially at Universities. I'm using it at Uned, in Spain.

First let me thank you for this code update on bsvc. When I tried last year, I gave up before I even got halfway through the installation. This time I only had two minor tweaks to make to compile and install it :

1) In src/Framework/Interface.cxx line 86, function strcat appeared undefined.

2) In src/sim68000/devices/M68681.cxx
and src/sim68360/devices/M68681.cxx function exit appeared undefined.

Adding the correct headers was enough for me, but I am not sure that I did it in a portable way (I am not a developper, I don't know much about policies).

This should be a bug report on the bsvc package, but since it is not packaged yet, I will leave it here for the moment.

summary: - [needs-packaging] BSVC Motorola 68000 simulator needs packaging.
