Will some kind soul please provide some insight into the following
questions? Maybe I can learn something new;
I am trying to make rn on an AT&T 3B2/600 with AT&T UNIX sys V 3.2.
While going through the rn Configure program, it asks the question;
*On some systems the default C compiler will not resolve multiple global
*references that happen to have the same name. On some such systems the
*"Mcc" command may be used to force these to be resolved. On other systems
*a "cc -M" command is required. What command will force resolution on
*EOM
* $echo $n "this system? [$dflt] $c"
What is the proper answer for the standard AT&T compiler? I have been
into the manual, but maybe am not looking in the proper places.
Next, while attempting to compile rn, the following occurs;
cc -c -O ngdata.c
"ngdata.c", line 179: syntax error
"ngdata.c", line 186: dirp undefined
"ngdata.c", line 189: warning: illegal pointer/integer combination, op =
*** Error code 1 S T O P.
The source code line is in this block of file ngdata.c;
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
/* scan a directory for minimum article number greater than floor */
ART_NUM
getngmin(dirname,floor)
char *dirname;
ART_NUM floor;
{
register DIR *dirp; <<<=== Line 179, SYNTAX error ???
register struct direct *dp;
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I could use some help decoding this error. Is it complaining that
DIR is not defined in a header file? Or is the problem in using this
as a register pointer?
So far I have learned that AT&T Sys V does not have libndir or dbm.
Where do I learn what these do, and where they come from?
Any guidence or advice would be sincerely appreciated.
