- A couple things had to be changed to get this to compile under Linux.
- Basically, when you run 'doit.bin' it will fail in several places complaining
- about a problem with 'atol' or 'atof', etc. In these cases, find the line
- that mentions 'atol' (or whatever, usually as an extern) and comment it out.
- Then run 'doit.bin' again.
-
- You'll also run into a couple other places where something will bomb out
- failing to find some functions. You'll notice that these lines all have
- '-ldbm' in them. Find the directory with the source files mentioned in the line
- that fails, and execute the command yourself moving '-ldbm' to the end of the
- command instead of the middle. Type carefully, or use selection.
-
- The Cnews executables were placed in /usr/lib/newsbin and /usr/bin.
- The configuration files were placed in /var/lib/news. The news articles
- will go under /var/spool/news.
-
- Good luck!
