- Trying to build Cnews 02may92 ...
-
- set up user+groups news/news uucp/uucp
- mkdir /usr/spool (for symbolic link to /var/spool/news)
- mkdir /usr/spool/news
- chmod 1777 /tmp
- cd cnews/conf
- mkdir 0
-
- bash build
- include /usr/sbin and /sbin in path
- you can say `/usr/sbin/chown news.news file'
- 'yes' to all functions and header files questions
- don't use cnews' fast stdio library
- compiler flags -O -traditional (a guess)
-
- bash doit.root
- find .. -exec chown bin {} \;
-
- su bin
- bash doit.bin
- vi +33 ../include/libc.h
- delete: umask(),
- add line: extern mode_t umask();
-
- I get this far:
-
- + cd ../dbz
- + make u COPTS=-O -traditional DBM=
- make: don't know how to make u. Stop
- + exit 1
-
- during 'bash doit.bin', sed always complains about "Extra characters
- after command." After it there are lots of files with length 0, like
- all important Makefiles, most scripts and man pages.
- So without doing something about the sed calls there's no go.
- Or maybe it's still a {ba|a|}sh problem?
-
- I give up for now. Anybody?
-
- cheers,
- Joern.
