- You have to have the NSE6.2 (Network Service Extensions). These
- provide sockets --- and header files [perhaps even complete ?] ...

- You may buy a X11R4 from Motorola ..... Or you buy yourself a
- brand new workstation .. works and is by far cheaper ;-<<<<<<<<<
-
- Serious:
- 1) A running GCC (presumably 2.3.3, its underway. Eikil and I do it)
- required for xmkmf and other tools. "cc" will not do it.
-
- 2) LOTS of disk space.
-
- a) latest GNU-make to be able to execute the generated Makefiles,
- "make" by Motorola is definitely broken.
- b1) GNU-Emacs to have a comfortable environment.
- b2) a working debugger --- we made a GDB-3.5 for sysV68R6.2
- c) an output device (Xserver).
- You may buy a MVME390 - MVME393, but these cost more
- than 2 small Sparcs ;-<<<<<<<<<

- You have to buy the NSE anyway, indepenent of actual revision number.
- Network support is _NOT_ part of BOS (Basic Operating System).
-
- SysV68R7.[01] seems to have an unbelievable bug concerning signal
- handling and debugging. Watch my post.
