[net.sources.bugs] Problems with larn on 3B2

eric@helm.UUCP (Eric Hyman) (08/19/86)

As it was posted on the net, Larn 12.0 will not compile on an At&t 3B2
Several Minor changes need to be made to make it work:

 o There are two calls to the ioctl with the BSDism FIONREAD to determine the
   Number of Chars pending on read, these are in tok.c the first block
   should be removed entirely, and the second (in flushall) should be
   replaced with an ioctl(0, TCFLSH, 0); NOTE this will effectively
   remove any mporvemnts for type-a-head removal

 o Due to a bug in the Assemble on the 3B2,(R2 V1) you must remove the
   -O optimization switch from the CFLAGS or you will get some errors

 o you Must remove all the `"",' 's on line 121 of signal.c otherwise
   you will get a to many initialzers message (who knows why they were
   there in the first place!)

With these minor pathces you should be able to compile and run larn 12.0
on your 3B2.
