-
- Worked here too:
-
- 1. perly.fixer exposes SCO's egrep; use GNU egrep or
- re-write to use sed. (Maybe you can just ignore this?)
-
- 2. Run Configure.
-
- I specified -D_NO_PROTO and _DCRIPPLED_CC and used
- libs='-lc_s -lsocket -ldbm -lm -lx -lufc', and said
- that the standard C library was /lib/libc.a so that
- Configure sees the kernel stubs that are not in -lc_s.
-
- The -lufc is 'cos I am outside the USA and SCO doesn't
- ship crypt().
-
- When requested to supply the double alignment I said '4'.
- (The test program didn't compile.)
-
- Configure also reports errors for 'timeval' related stuff,
- but gets it right anyway (<time.h> and <sys/time.h> are
- needed).
-
- Configure fails to detect 'rewindir' -- on SCO Unix this
- is a macro. I defined it by editing config.sh and noticed
- no damage.
-
- 3. make depend
- make (not perfectly clean, but close)
- make test (all pass)
-
-
- My config.sh is available for anyone who wants it; if you don't have TCP/IP
- it would require some editing.
-
- Thanks to all,
-
