I got it to compile. Basically all you have to do is rip matherr out of unix.c
and declare it void or some such thing. Its been a while, so I've forgotten.
If you are trying to compile it with 2.2.2 don't. It will dump core and give
floating point exceptions when you try to do some of the sample files. If you
are using 2.2.2d you are in luck, even the X11 part compiles correctly. If
there is enough interest I can upload the binaries to either tsx-11 or sunsite,
(binary actually), but it pretty much compiles right out of the box. I have the
ionic5 image as my root window image. Nice picture.
ObLinuxQuestion:
In the SLS 0.98 release of ps is there any way to list the actula command
like the 0.96/0.97 version did? like instead of listing just kermit as
the command, it would list kermit -i -l/dev/modem -pe. I used to use the ps
listing to tell if I made a mistake and I kind of miss it. Also, is there
a way to get free to recognize the swap device. I had to do /bin/swapon
manually in the rc rather than putting it in /etc/fstab file. Would that
cause it to not see the swap partition when I type free -s ? Thirdly and
finally, what is the correct definition for inet_proto_ops as found in the
file sock.c ?(for tcp sockets) I grabbed the protocols.h file, and it still
gives that error. I'm hoping to use some programs that require tcp and I
need that in the kernel. Thanks everyone for such a wonderful operating
system!
