[comp.sources.bugs] nn for Xenix 386

fischer@netmbx.UUCP (Axel Fischer) (06/29/89)

I have compiled nn for Xenix 386 with less modifications but nn does not
finds any news.
In the "Problemes" file exactly that problem is described, does anyone
has a patch for that or could point me to the problem ?

Please mail I summarize and post.

It is no longer necessary to help me out with nn, I've helped myself :-)

To install nn under SCO XENIX 386 2.3.2 you have to do the following:

copy s-usg3-1.h to s-xenix.h
and edit the line
#include <dirent.h>
to #include <sys/ndir.h>
and
typedef struct dirent Direntry
to
typedef struct direct Direntry

and now it works (at leat on my system :-)
before that nn has always prompted me with "No News" but now it runs
fine - I think I like it better than rn but I will see ..
