Hello there, Xenix Development System Hackers (SCO V2.2.1). I have the
following nasty error message when compiling PCOMM V1.1 with patches
1-4 faithfully applied. When I run the makefile, all the subprograms
compile without error, but when run thru the linker, I get the message
listed below. Can any more knowledgeable person help me identify and
solve this problem? Thanks in advance!

Stop.

Below is the relevent portion of the makefile that I'm using, basically
as included in the original Pcomm shell archives, but with the link
switches "-ltermcap -lcurses", as I am using the SCO XENIX 2.2.1
development system.

Ah yes, my favorite SCO bug !!! Here's the kludge to get around it: 1) extract signal.o from /lib/Llibc.a ("ar x /lib/Llibc.a signal.o") 2) compile the program again, but put signal.o in there as the first .o file ("cc -SEG 1000 -F 5000 -M2l signal.o admin.o chg_dir.o ... -lcurses") I encountered this problem several times before, when using signals in large programs (not that curses stuff uses signals). This fix always worked for me. Hope it solves your problem. Paul. -- |-------------------------- |debra@research.att.com | |uunet!research!debra | |--------------------------
