I am having trouble bringing up news on an Altos 3068 running their version
of UNIX. The "rnews" and "vnews" programs seem to be the ones that break
during the make. Following is an error listing (short thank God!) from our
most recent stab at making this work:
cc -s -i readnews.o rfuncs.o rfuncs2.o rextern.o process.o rpathinit.o funcs.o funcs2.o getdate.o header.o ndir.o ftime.o visual.o virtterm.o -lcurses -o vnews
undefined first referenced
symbol in file
ROWS visual.o
botscreen visual.o
_junked visual.o
hasscroll visual.o
move visual.o
addstr visual.o
_amove visual.o
ushift visual.o
clrline visual.o
mvaddstr visual.o
addch visual.o
refresh visual.o
initterm visual.o
rawterm visual.o
cookedterm visual.o
ld fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to vnews
*** Error code 13
Stop.
It seems that all compiles well until the "vnews" line, then for some reason
we find all of the "UNreferences" in the visual.c file. I hope there is some
kind soul on the net who has seen this before, and has a fix.
Thanks in advance....

They are NOT found in visual.c but should be in the libraries. In looking at the libraries under SCO XENIX 2.2 they are found in the curses and also the terminfo libraries. Also be careful about any defines that may apply in the code. If you wish to examine which objects are in which library use the command "ar t name-of-library" and pipe it through more or less. My limited experience with Altos suggests that either these objects are not in the standard place or may not even exit. >It seems that all compiles well until the "vnews" line, then for some reason >we find all of the "UNreferences" in the visual.c file.

If you feel really stuck on this problem, feel free to email and I will try to help you further. Best of luck, -- Jack F.
