- In trying to put together a distribution of Source Code Management programs for
- our collaboration (in Physics, btw), I ran across a problem:
- I wanted to make sure that all packages compile and run properly on all platforms
- we want to support. One of these packages is GNU RCS. It compiled an runs fine on
- the SUNs, ut on our HP 700 series I couldn't make the "installtest" target
- properly. I understand that HP-UX 8.07 includes RCS, but I would still like to
- make it compile and run from scratch. I got the source from prep.mit..., and the
- only thing I changed is the Makefile to use gcc. The gcc is version 2.2.2 from
- iworks. I then contrinued to
-
- make conf.h
- make all
- make install (in a local -not system- directory)
- make installtest
-
- and that's where all the errors occured. Here is the output:
-
-
- [98] % make installdebug
- PATH=/u6/tmp/rcs/src:/u6/tmp/bin/.:$PATH sh rcstest -v
- + test -d RCS
- + rm -f a.11 a.12 a.3x1 RCS/a.c RCS/a.d RCS/a._
- + echo 1.1
- + echo 1.1.1.1
- + echo 1.2
- + diff -c a.11 a.3x1
- + echo #warning: diff -c does not work, so diagnostics may be cryptic
- #warning: diff -c does not work, so diagnostics may be cryptic
-
- >>>> (I don't understand this, GNU diff is installed in /u6/tmp/bin/ ???)
-
- diff=diff
- + rcs -i -L -ta.11 a.c
- RCS file: h·╙8h·╙Kh·╙Vh·╙a
- done
- + rlog a.c
- rlog: RCS/a.c:1: missing 'h·╨' keyword
- rlog aborted
- + echo #rlog failed on empty RCS file
- #rlog failed on empty RCS file
- + exit 1
- *** Error code 1
-
- Stop.
-
-
- Before I spend too much time on that, has somebody attempted what I am trying to
- do and can give me some hints?
