- I just built mush(1) for HPUX 8.0 on an HP 700.
-
- It didn't quite build correctly out of the mush.7.2.3.tar.Z tape I
- got off of the net. In particular, several files needed to
-
- #include <sys/termio.h>
-
- in order to compile correctly and there were a couple of places where
- HPUX was closer to being BSD than SYSV for #ifdef purposes (these were
- minor tweaks). Also, mush(1) didn't compile with the current version
- of GCC as installed on our system. It isn't clear what the problem
- was with GCC.
-
- Overall, it built fairly easily despite the above problems. Mush(1)
- is frankly much better than the HP-supplied elm(1) mail user agent.
-
- However, mush(1) only works on the HP console or over a modem with
- my DEC vt220 from home. mush(1) will dump core "bus error" when run
- from a stock xterm under HPUX with X11R4.
-
- Has anyone seen any sort of xterm/mush problem before now ??
- Clues on where to look and what to test would be helpful.
-
- Thanks,
-
