Hi,
I recently downloaded the diffs for minix 1.5 to 1.6 from
ftp.thp.uni-koeln.de. I then ran Appdiffs and it created a new
directory /src1.6 and applied all the diffs which took a bit of work.
They all have the right crc's and that has seemed to work{ However,
I do not seem to be able to make anything, I assume you use the
xenix_to_asld shell to all of *.x files. I can't find libc.A, I assume
I make it with all the libs, but some seem to only compile with the
old includes and some with the new. I am confused, any assistance
would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Neal

I cam using the new compiler all the time (to test it thoroughly), and haven't tested 1.6.16 with the old one. You certainly have to do the following: 1. Convert the assembler files to asld format. 2. Use the ctype.h and stdio.h headers from 1.5, but the rest from 1.6.16 3. Edit the makefiles a little bit. Maybe other things. If somebody could make a guide to doing all this stuff and send it to me, I can put it in the READ_ME file on the star. Sorry for the inconvenience. Andy Tanenbaum (ast@cs.vu.nl)
