[comp.sys.dec] XView2.0 to DECstation

dah@zoot.avgrp.cr.rok.com (Dave Haverkamp) (03/13/91)

   These are the problems I am having with building XView 2.0 on a DECstation
running Ultrix.  In general the following things existed on a SUN3.

1. svc_fdset -- On SUN this is declared as "extern svc_set svc_fdset;" in svc.h
2. svc_getreqset() -- On SUN
              #ifndef KERNEL
               extern  void    svc_getreqset(); /* takes fdset instead of int */
              #endif

3. foo  --- On SUN I found this in m68k_stack_dep.h
            foo = (ttkalign_t *) malloc( sizeof(sttkalign_t) *size);


 I did grep's for ( svc_fdset, svc_getreqset, & foo )  in the Ultrix includes.
None of them were found.  svc_fdset appears to be a global file descriptor that
is used by svc_getreqset.  "foo" seems to be used for byte alignment.  I'm not
a MIPs arch wizard so maybe someone could suggest a comparable thing for Ultrix.
I haven't been able to locate an description of the svc_getreqset in the SUN
manuals I have detailed enough for me to write the C code necessary for an
Ultrix version of svc_getreqset. ( The svc_fdset variable is used throughout
the XView2.0 code usage of it does not depend on any defines.)

Thanks,
