[comp.sys.sun] RCS for SunOS 4.1?

haynes@ucscc.ucsc.edu (Jim Haynes) (01/03/91)

Wondering if anybody has ported RCS to Suns running SunOS 4.1.  The first
problem I ran into is that Sun defines

	void (*signal())

while the RCS source that I have is looking for a return value.

Assuming you have RCS 4.2 or 4.3, see the comments about SIGNAL_TYPE in
rcs/src/Makefile.  On a Sun, edit the makefile to let SIGNAL_TYPE=void.

RCS 5 will figure out SIGNAL_TYPE on its own, thank goodness.
