I'm trying to make C News on the Apollo. We're primarily a sys5 (usg) site.
I first tried running doit.bin from an Apollo at SR10.2 but this failed
looking for include files stddef.h and sys/stdtypes.h in hdrdefs.c.
These 2 files are apparently included in Apollo's SR10.3 release or at
least the version of C that comes with 10.3. On a 10.3 node I restarted
doit.bin from the point it failed on 10.2 and it ran to completion
(successfully, I think).
I didn't like the idea of some programs compiled/linked at 10.2 and
others at 10.3, so I started the whole process over on the 10.3 node.
This time the compiles failed with a multiple declaration of "daylight"
in getdate.y. As best as I can tell, it's picking up the declaration of
"daylight" from time.h (it's in an '#ifdef _INCLUDE_XOPEN_SOURCE'). I
have no idea how to turn off the declaration, or what harm I might do by
doing so.
Has anyone successfully built C News on the Apollo (sys5 rather than
bsd)? If so, how do I get around these problems? I'm open to using
either SR10.2 or 10.3, which ever works best for C News.
We are currently running bnews and are *really* bogging down (we
continuously have about a 40mb backlog of unbatched news), so we're kind
of desperate to get C News running. If anyone has any suggestions I
would really appreciate the help. Since we do have this large news
backlog I'd prefer responses via email.
Thanks.
