Regarding large-file support on VMS, I haven't looked
closely at this, but specifying "F" to the builder will get
the C macros _LARGEFILE_SOURCE and _LARGEFILE defined.
Whether that does anything useful for, say, CK_OFF_T is
another question.
Regarding HTTP support on VMS, defining NOHTTP seems to have
little if any effect:
$ if vms_ver .lts. "VMS_V62" then cln_def = cln_def
+",NOHTTP,NOCMDATE2TM"
Defining only IKSD causes problems. Adding IKSDCONF does not
help much. Adding CK_LOGIN reveals that, for example,
"inserver", "isguest", and "local" are all "not declared", and
don't appear in any header files. I did find some loose
"extern" declarations scattered around in the ".c" files, but
I figured that these couldn't be serious.
Regarding VAX builds, there are some suggested changes in:
http://antinode.info/ftp/kermit/v9r0_299_2010-02-01/
Patches and notes are in "notes_2010-02-01.txt". Loose before
and after files are also in that directory. With these
changes, I could get the following VAX builds to work with no
warnings (and fewer informationals than before):
VMS V5.4, VAX C V3.1-051, UCX V1.3
@ CKVKER.COM FLIS D "NOCONVROUTINES,INTSELECT,OLDFIB"
VMS V5.5-2, DEC C V4.0-000, UCX V3.1
@ CKVKER.COM FLIS D "BUGFILL7,INTSELECT"
VMS V6.2, DEC C V6.0-001, UCX V4.0
@ CKVKER.COM FLIS D
VMS V7.3, Compaq C V6.4-005, TCPIP V5.3 - ECO 4
@ CKVKER.COM FLIS D "CK_SSL,OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT"
I didn't do any serious testing with the resulting
executables, but none of the changes should wreck any working
code (I claim).
