From: vince@halcyon.com (Vince Skahan) Subject: C-news on 096c/gcc2.2.2 seems to work... Date: 14 Jul 1992 06:11:08 GMT
I have the end-of-1991 version of C-news compiled and running locally
here with 096c and gcc 2.2.2 and it sure seems to work fine
(and in fact waaaaaay faster than the $25,000 workstation at work).
This is the current version, without the May-92 'optional speedups'.
For newsreading, I have tin1.1pl4 and/or waffle 1.65b10 running and
everything is acting perfectly.
Can anybody tell me if the past reported problems with fseek() in
old versions of gcc are now fixed ? I have C-news configured to
use their fast dbz package, but I'm not using their replacement stdio
stuff. I don't want to turn on the newsfeed if the history file is
going to either get wasted or not work.
As I recall, the only thing I had to edit in the code was to hard-code
the max number of open files to 20 in libc/closeall.c - I got that
guesstimate from limits.h (is that right?)
Lastly, if nobody's done so, I'd be happy to provide by build.def
as a template config file folks could use. You should be able to
basically edit the hostname/pathnames and run build.
