- Welcome to the BSDI ported software list! Its purpose is to give
- information about net software that has been ported to or that is known to
- compile without modificaton on the BSDI BSD/386 system. I am also attempting
- to list the current patches and enhancements that are available. This
- list will be posted on a bi-weekly basis unless the demand is greater.
-
- This list and some of the software packages or patches mentioned here
- are archived on bsdi.com. I have also been saving the postings to the
- beta list since it was started and have made them available too. See
- the archive section for specifics on the bsdi.com archive.
-
- The list is split into four sections. Section 1 describes the software
- packages from the net that have been ported to the BSDI system. These are
- packages that had to be worked with to make them functional under BSDI. The
- changes necessary are variable from "easy" on up. The second section is
- for software that compiles on BSDI without code modifications. It appears
- that several X applications fall into this area at the moment. Section 3
- will be for enhancements and patches written specifically for the BSDI
- system such as new drivers or BSDI system patches. Section 4 lists
- the current archive sites for public BSDI patches, ports and enhancements.
-
- Please contact me if you have any corrections, suggestions, or
- contributions to the list.

- SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: Bnews
- VERSION:
- DESCRIPTION:
- YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: thomasm@ingres.com
- AVAILABILITY:
- STATE OF PORT/CODE:
- REQUIRES:
- NOTES: Pretty straight forward. System is missing ftime, so a
- compatibility function had to be written.
- -----
- SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: elm
- VERSION:
- DESCRIPTION: Full screen mailing interface.
- YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: thomasm@ingres.com
- AVAILABILITY:
- STATE OF PORT/CODE:
- REQUIRES:
- NOTES: BSD toupper/tolower are broken. Elm supplies versions which
- can be used. Or you can fix the one's in libc like I did.
- -----
- SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: pcomm
- VERSION:
- DESCRIPTION: Communications package.
- YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: thomasm@ingres.com
- AVAILABILITY:
- STATE OF PORT/CODE:
- REQUIRES:
- NOTES: Some ioctl's had to be changed. Nothing big, if I recall.
- -----
- SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: xviewgl
- VERSION:
- DESCRIPTION:
- YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: thomasm@ingres.com
- AVAILABILITY:
- STATE OF PORT/CODE:
- REQUIRES:
- NOTES: Found a bug in libc.a in fgetpos. Once this was fixed
- everything worked fine.
- -----
- SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: SB Prolog
- VERSION: 3.1
- DESCRIPTION: Freeware Prolog interpreter with docs.
- YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: Doug Dyer/ddyer@afit.af.mil
- AVAILABILITY: Anonymous ftp via cs.arizona.edu for this version.
- STATE OF PORT/CODE: Everything works as far as I can tell.
- REQUIRES: I had to change a few things. I can send mail to anyone
- interested.
- NOTES: None
- -----
- SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: CLIPS (C Language Integrated Production System)
- VERSION: 5.0
- DESCRIPTION: A rule-based, forward-chaining expert system shell
- patterned after OPS 5, ART. CLIPS also includes the CLIPS
- Object-Oriented Language (COOL). CLIPS was developed by NASA/Johnson
- and is widely used.
- YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: Doug Dyer/ddyer@afit.af.mil
- AVAILABILITY: Oddly, it may be available via anonymous ftp (see note
- below). Otherwise, it is free to NASA, USAF, and their contractors.
- Others can purchase CLIPS in source form from COSMIC, NASA's
- commercial software developer.
- STATE OF PORT/CODE: Everything works as far as I can tell.
- REQUIRES: No brains, anyway. Changing a line or two in the makefile.
- NOTES: Recently, Brian Donnell at NASA posted the following news item:
-
- "If you are an employee of or contractor to NASA or USAF, you may obtain
- CLIPS ...<stuff deleted>... You may redistribute to NASA and USAF
- employees and <contractors>.
-
- Everyone else must purchase CLIPS from COSMIC. However, once you have
- purchased CLIPS, you may do anything you want with it, including redistribute
- it by posting it for anonymous FTP. Thus, a copy of CLIPS which can trace
- its ultimate origins to a copy purchased from COSMIC may be freely distributed.
- However, we at NASA are not allowed to do this."
-
- Therefore, it seems that anyone who has purchased CLIPS can
- effectively place it in the public domain.

- SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: bash
- VERSION: 1.12
- DESCRIPTION: FSF's `Bourne Again SHell', including everything but
- the kitchen sink.
- YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: grog%lemis@Germany.EU.Net
- AVAILABILITY: When I have the people at unido accept incoming uucp
- transfers, I'll put it there. Diffs also available for
- the asking.
- STATE OF PORT/CODE: I've been using it for 6 weeks, and have found no
- bugs.
- REQUIRES: (nothing special)
- NOTES: (none)
- -----

- STATE OF PORT/CODE: I've been using it for 6 weeks, and have found no
- bugs.
- REQUIRES: (nothing special)
- NOTES: (none)
- -----
- SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: iozone
- VERSION: 1.08
- DESCRIPTION: Displays neatly table of disk performance
- YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: pi@rus.uni-stuttgart.de
- AVAILABILITY: No. I'm not sure whether binaries or sources
- are more popular ? Or both ?
- STATE OF PORT/CODE: ready
- REQUIRES: -
- NOTES: Added an #define bsd4_2 to include sys/time.h
- -----
- SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: Screen
- VERSION: 3.2
- DESCRIPTION: Provides multiple sessions on one connection, works
- over almost any line. Replacement for missing virtual
- terminals.
- YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: pi@rus.uni-stuttgart.de, bsdi stuff was already defined
- AVAILABILITY: ftp.uni-stuttgart.de:/soft/kommunikation/news/tmp/screen*
- STATE OF PORT/CODE: works ok, has problems with characters missing etc.
- but is useable.
- REQUIRES:
- NOTES: It did not compile out of the box, some problems with signals.
- -----
- SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: elvis
- VERSION: 1.5
- DESCRIPTION: good replacement for vi
- YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: pi@rus.uni-stuttgart.de
- AVAILABILITY: no, same as above
- STATE OF PORT/CODE: I use it since two weeks, better then the older
- elvis, had to modify prsvunix.c (extern getpwuid
- is ansified and needs to be correct)
- REQUIRES: -
- NOTES: wonderful, the visual mark facility !
- -----
- SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: less
- VERSION: 170 (hmm, isnt it supposed to be 177 ?)
- DESCRIPTION: replacement for more
- YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: pi@rus.uni-stuttgart.de
- AVAILABILITY: no.
- STATE OF PORT/CODE: it works, better then the supplied more 8)
- REQUIRES: -
- NOTES: it requires to include <regexp.h> and define REGCOMP in search.c
- to work properly, but the linstall does not recognize this.
- I don't think the REGCOMP support was ever tested.
- [ Janet Jackson <janet@cs.uwa.edu.au> and thomasm@ingres.com
- (Tom Markson) both also report less compiled and working.
- Janet's notes follow below. ]
- REQUIRES: regex.c as provided by James da Silva <jds%cs.UMD.EDU>, if
- you want to use regexps. I compiled regex.c into a local library
- file in /usr/local/lib, which I included with -L in less's Makefile.
- NO CHANGES TO THE CODE OF less ITSELF.
- NOTES: when run on console using the standard terminal type (pc3, I think)
- less complains that the terminal can't scroll backwards. This complaint
- could probably be turned off by compiling with a lower level of help
- messages.
- -----
- SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: ISODE
- VERSION: 7.0, and 8.0
- DESCRIPTION: The ISO Developers Environment which provides upper
- layer support for OSI applications and includes an X.500
- implementation. ISODE can use the ISO and CCITT socket
- families if the appropreate hardware and drivers are
- installed in your system (this is untested).
- YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: huntting@glarp.com
- AVAILABILITY: The ISODE version 7.0 is P/D, bug quite huge.
- 8.0 is available from misc.glarp.com [128.138.240.101]
- STATE OF PORT/CODE: The diff's were minimal. I would have to pull
- the source off of backup tapes and run diff if anyone needs
- them. The compiled installation (libraries, include files,
- the 'quipu' X.500 server, SNMP agent, etc) can be made
- available easily.
- 8.0 fails some of the tests for psap echo and psap isode/echo
- but dish and quipu appear to work at first glance.
- REQUIRES: The encumbered version of lex is needed to compile the package.
- Flex chokes.
- NOTES [8.0]: When compiling, be sure to "unlimit" all resource limits
- related to virtual memory size. It takes alot of space to
- compile some of the pieces.
-
- Among these patches, are patches to the lex code which
- allow it to be compiled with "flex" (gnu version of lex)
- which is now the standard lex shiped with BSD.
-
- Since gcc pays meticulous attention to function prototypes
- it was nessesary to blast some of the redundant and errant
- external function delcaration statments.
-
- setenv() takes 3 arguments under BSD not 2. A #define
- solved the problem. Similarly, dirent(3) was disabled
- since it comes built in to BSD386.
-
- The file system queary calls in snmp/unixFs.c were adapted
- to the new 4.4BSD getfsstat() and fsstat() interfaces.
-
- A few incompatible tweeks were made. "mkdirhier" takes the place
- of "mkdir" in the top leval Makefile for making make-dirs.
- -----
- SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: PP
- VERSION: 6.0
- DESCRIPTION: A Message Transfer Agent capable of handling X.400,
- SMTP, and other protocols.
- YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: huntting@glarp.com
- AVAILABILITY: PP-6.0 is P/D
- STATE OF PORT/CODE: Like ISODE, there were minimal changes.
- REQUIRES: The encumbered version of lex may be needed to compile
- this package. ISODE-6.0 is also required.
- NOTES:
- -----
- SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME:
- MetaFont et al.
- TeX, LaTeX et al.
- bash 1.12
- dvips 5.47 (I think)
- emacs 18.58 (with X11 support)
- flex (dont know which version, latest from prep)
- ghostscript 2.4 + ghostview
- gtar 1.10
- kermit 5A(179) BETA (newer than the one in contrib)
- sc (spreadsheet)
- screen ("virtual console" via ptys)
- shar
- xcal (x calendar)
- VERSION: See above.
- DESCRIPTION:
- YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: Bernhard.Schneck@physik.tu-muenchen.de
- AVAILABILITY:
- STATE OF PORT/CODE:
- REQUIRES:
- NOTES: If you need more information about any of these packages drop
- me a mail.
- -----
- SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: minicom
- VERSION: 1.2pl1
- DESCRIPTION: Communications package.
- YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: smm@acd4.acd.com ( Steve McCoole )
- AVAILABILITY: Can do some limited mailing of diffs.
- STATE OF PORT/CODE: Working well, one real bug.
- REQUIRES:
- NOTES: There is a status indicator on the bottom of the screen. If
- the program thinks that the modem is on-line, scrolling does not work
- properly. I'm looking for the problem. The work-around right now is
- to use the hang up command as soon as you enter the program and it
- works fine after that. I had to comment out a SIG_IGN call for
- SIGTINT and initialize some variables before they were used in
- wkeys.c.
- -----
- SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: nethack
- VERSION: 3.0 pl 10
- DESCRIPTION: Character based adventure game.
- YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: smm@acd4.acd.com ( Steve McCoole )
- AVAILABILITY: Can do some limited mailing of diffs.
- STATE OF PORT/CODE:
- REQUIRES:
- NOTES: Had to put an int definition for sprintf in the nethack
- system.h file under BSD. Had to add the following define to
- unixtty.c:
- #ifdef bsdi
- #define GTTY(x) (ioctl(0, TIOCGETP, (char *)x))
- #define STTY(x) (ioctl(0, TIOCSETP, (char *)x))
- #endif
- The rest of the config was basically generic BSD.
- -----
- SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME:
- ImakeTeX (TeX 3.14 & LaTeX) and MetaFont from labrea
- xfig (R5)
- ghostscript 2.4 (X & epson)
- ghostview 1.1
- xdvi
- dvi2ps 2.31
- transfig ( from R5)
- zsh 2.2
- tcsh 6.01
- gnutar 1.09
- bison 1.14
- flex 2.3
- mg 2a
- gnu-fgrep 1.0
- VERSION: See above.
- DESCRIPTION: Various ported software.
- YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: pfp@xs0001.at (Peter Pflaeging)
- AVAILABILITY: I've got no Internet access (only UUCP) so it would be
- great to see an archive server (preferable in Europe) where I can mail
- my binary set.
- STATE OF PORT/CODE:
- I've got BSD/386 running since one week. This ported software
- are the tools I'm using normally. Though - I've compiled it and
- they work - but I don't know if they are really stable. I
- haven't seen a bug since the porting.
- REQUIRES:
- NOTES:
- Tips for people who want to port:
-
- Normally the software to port ask for an operating system:
- First hint is BSD4.3 or BSD4.4. One of the differences is:
- 386/BSD is POSIX compliant. Though look for the switch -D_POSIX_SOURCE
- One of the most amusing facts is that prototypes for library functions
- are in 386/BSD headers. Sometimes you must delete the prototypes from
- the source of the programs (a good way to look for software quality).
- X-software is very easy to port. Normally xmkmf -a produces a good
- Makefile.
-
- Problems:
-
- The only hard problem I've is: web2c from labrea doesn't work, because
- either lex or yacc are producing fals C-source. So I've made the first
- step (generating C-source) on an ULTRIX 4.2 machine. Then I compiled
- the suite under BSD/386. I will test this with flex and bison again.
- -----
- SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: ups
- DESCRIPTION: X11 based source level C debugger.
- YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: mtr@ukc.ac.uk (Mark Russell)
- AVAILABILITY: Soon - it is being tested by a few people now. I will
- make it available by anonymous FTP in the next week or so.
- STATE OF PORT/CODE: Alpha test - it has not yet been used other than by me.
- REQUIRES: Access to X server (either on the PC itself or elsewhere).
- NOTES:
- -----
- SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: tcsh
- VERSION: 6.02
- DESCRIPTION: a popular csh-derived shell with line editing and other
- bells&whistles.
- YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: John Kohl <jtkohl@kolvir.elcr.ca.us>
- AVAILABILITY: pick it up from tesla.ee.cornell.edu:/pub/tcsh/tcsh-6.02.tar.Z
- STATE OF PORT/CODE: complete.
- REQUIRES: disk space :-)
- NOTES: [ pfp@xs0001.at (Peter Pflaeging) also reports a working port
- of tcsh, but his version is 6.01 ]
-
- If you have X11 installed, you can just run this to configure it before
- building:
- imake -DUseInstalled -DConfigH="bsd4.4" -I/usr/X11/lib/X11/config
-
- Otherwise, edit as directed in README and select bsd4.4 as the system
- type.
-
- tcsh-6.02 compiles fine out-of-the-box, but to have a useful
- $HOSTTYPE you need to add the attached patch.

- SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: sc
- VERSION: 6.21
- DESCRIPTION: Spreadsheet calculator--your basic spreadsheet.
- YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: John T Kohl <jtkohl@kolvir.elcr.ca.us>
- AVAILABILITY: Pick it up from any comp.sources.unix archive, Volume 23
- (e.g. ftp.uu.net:/usenet/comp.sources.unix/volume23/sc6.8/*)
- STATE OF PORT/CODE: Runs fine. Just compile & install!
- NOTES: You'll need to configure the Makefile; should be straightforward
- (look at the stuff marked 'reno' for most of it)
- [ Bernhard.Schneck@physik.tu-muenchen.de also has this package
- working, version is not known. ]
- [ Janet Jackson <janet@cs.uwa.edu.au> has this package working at
- version 6.21, her notes are below. ]
- SC (spreadsheet) has a bunch of patches that you probably want to
- pick up with the sources. The details:
- Sc appears in comp.sources.misc as:
- v20i035-v20i041 sc/part01-7 original (Sc6.16)
- v22i095 sc/patch01a Patch01a/2
- v22i096 sc/patch01b Patch01b/2 (6.16->6.17)
- v22i104 sc/patch02 Patch02 (6.17->6.18)
- v23i035 sc/patch03 Patch03 (6.18->6.19)
- v24i020 sc/patch04a Patch04a/2
- v24i021 sc/patch04b Patch04b/2 (6.19->6.21)
- STATE OF PORT/CODE [Janet]:
- My machine has no math coprocessor. To cope with a floating-point
- emulation bug, I have made minor changes. Everywhere (I hope!) that
- 0.0 is used as a double, I have replaced it with (double)0,
- because 0.0 gets treated as NaN. This meant, for example,
- that a cell entered as "0.25" would become NaN!
- The only other bug I've noticed is that the row numbers are sometimes
- messed up when you scroll the screen.
- NOTES [Janet]:
- I had to configure the Makefile.
- I can supply my Makefile and patches for the C files if people want them.
- I have also written a thing called sc-extract (and sent it to the
- comp.sources.unix moderator, who has not yet processed it) for doing links
- between spreadsheets using sc's external function mechanism.
- -----
- SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: XLISP-PLUS
- VERSION: 2.1d
- DESCRIPTION: Common Lisp-like (getting closer!) interpreter.
- Originally developed by David Michael Betz for the PC, this version was
- significantly revised by Tom Almy and others.
- YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: ddyer@afit.af.mil
- AVAILABILITY: Original 2.1d sources are ftpable from
- glia.biostr.washington.edu 128.95.10.115
- bikini.cis.ufl.edu 128.227.224.1
- STATE OF PORT/CODE: I've not tested completely, nor eliminated all
- compiler warnings, but things I have tried work fine and the
- documentation is good.
- REQUIRES: Minor changes
- NOTES: I will respond to email if anyone has problems.
- -----
- SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: Gnu sed
- VERSION: 1.08
- DESCRIPTION:
- YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: Larry Jones <scjones@thor.sdrc.com>
- AVAILABILITY: [ This is one of the things that I'm looking to send to
- one of the archive sites if they don't already have it. ]
- STATE OF PORT/CODE:
- REQUIRES:
- NOTES:
- A number of people have complained about sed being defective. I finally
- got some time to look into it and fix it. In a nutshell, the way sed
- was handling subprograms ('{' and '}') was completely wrong. I've sent
- the fixes to GNU, but I thought people here would appreciate having the
- fixed version, so I'm sending this shar.
- -----
- SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: epoch
- VERSION: ??
- DESCRIPTION: Enhanced X only version of emacs.
- YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: RWALDRON@cs.tcd.ie
- AVAILABILITY: nic.funet.fi [ And most other gnu archives. ]
- STATE OF PORT/CODE:
- a poor executable, which does not do:
- a) save / dump to disk, so loadup.el has to run every time..
- b) fork processes (e.g. TeX on region) -> it dumps core
- REQUIRES:
- NOTES: Problems that I have not had time to track down yet.
- -----
- SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: gcc
- VERSION: 2.1
- DESCRIPTION: GNU C and C++ compilers
- YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: antsu@lajax.pp.fi (Antti-Pekka Virtanen)
- AVAILABILITY: nic.funet.fi
- ~pub/unix/386ix/bsd386/gnu
- STATE OF PORT/CODE: there are both ready to run binaries and sources.
- REQUIRES:
- NOTES:
- The bsd386 binary package contains also libg++-2.0 library binaries.
- I am sorry but I lost my libg++-2.0 sources due to an archive error, but
- at least the library seems to work okay. The compressed libg++.a file
- is the original one directly from the sources. The current library I use
- has a few bug-fixes which were needed to get InterViews 3.0.1 run.
- (I will provide my InterViews 3.0.1 binaries/sources if there is interest.)
-
- I hope these will make you happy! But ofcource I cannot promise anything
- to work and I don't provide any support. If you have fixes , please send
- them also to me.
- -----
- SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: InterViews
- VERSION: 3.0.1
- DESCRIPTION: X based document package, WYSIWYG editor and drawing
- package.
- YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: antsu@lajax.pp.fi (Antti-Pekka Virtanen)
- AVAILABILITY: nic.funet.fi
- [128.214.6.100] in directory ~pub/unix/386ix/bsd386/X11/InterViews.
- STATE OF PORT/CODE:
- I hope this is enough to make InterViews compile on your machine.
- I have only used doc document-editor so I cannot say if the other
- clients work. At least doc seems to work allright.
- REQUIRES:
- To compile this you will need Gcc 2.1 and libg++-2.0 or later
- which will have some fixes in the iostream library. You can
- use the Gcc 2.1 and libg++-2.0 binaries available in nic.funet.fi
- under ~pub/unix/386ix/bsd386/gnu.
- NOTES:
- There has been some questions of what this InterViews is...
-
- You will find attached some information which I cut out from
- one document (you can find the full papers in interviews.stanford.edu)
-
- I myself use only the sample client "doc" which is a simple
- WYSIWYG document editing tool. It stores it's files as LaTeX-like
- format and outputs postscript for printing. You can also include
- pictures and draw them with the sample application idraw.
- It is very nice for writing little documents!
-
- Also, there is ibuild, an interactive interface builder ( which
- I haven't even tried ) which let's you design your user interfaces.
