I am unsure exactly which group should receive this question. If I have guessed wrong, please accept my apologies and, if possible, direct me to the proper place by mail. I am currently trying to install news 2.11, patch level 14, on an NCR Mini-Tower running a binary copy NCR's port of Sys V (rel 2 or rel 3). I have my set up my localize.sh based on a copy of localize.usg with the following modifications: Makefile: HOME set to "" LIBDIR and HOMEDIR set to local values UUXFLAGS omits -z defs.h: ROOTID to local value HISTEXP to 2*WEEKS /* I am a leaf off a single system */ TMAIL undefined DFTXMIT omits -z UXMIT omits -z -c INTERNET defined UUNAME defined and set to local value DOXREFS defined MYORG to local value NICENESS defined I have successfully executed the script and verified that the changes were executed properly. Most notably for the following, MKDIRSUB remains undefined. When I run make, ld dies on inews with an undefined symbol, mkdir, first referenced in inews.o. I looked at the source code, and frankly I became more than a bit confused. Whereas I am willing and able to write such a subroutine to try to get up and running, I am also wondering if I have done or omitted something stupid, or if someone else has experienced this problem and can give me some pointers. If practical, please respond by mail. My news access is currently on what will be my upstream site, and due to various factors my ability to read and post is somewhat limited until I get my site up and running.
