Hello,
I have been trying to get MH-6.8 to compile for Linux. The
compilation goes pretty cleanly until it reaches some functions which
want to access the internals of struct FILE. Knowledgable people tell
me that there is no POSIX standard for FILE, only for stdio. MH claims
to "know" that FILE has structures like _ptr and _cnt while the linux
stdio.h throws up _gptr , _egptr etc. So my questions are :
1) Has anyone done the said port, or alternatively, were
similar problems faced for other OS's and how they were ironed out.
2) What is the correct mapping between the "standard"
FILE to the GNU implementation.
Answer via email/posting - I try to keep up with the groups
regularly,
Thanks,
Vishal
