Hi I am running Minix 1.2 on an Amstrad 1640. As suggested in READ_ME for the dist I re-built libc.a to include all the stuff that wasn't there originally. As suggested I used the shell script "run". It seems to build the library ok, but when I try to compile progs they always claim that there are unresolved references, in particular sendrec. I know sendrec is in the lib, so I can only assume that the library is not correctly ordered, despite the fact that I did as the READ_ME file suggested. Short of rebuilding the lib manually, can anyone suggest wha a solution to the problem might be ? Is the run shell-script broken ? Thanks in advance for any help.

I've just been doing the same thing with my 386sx running 1.2. How about starting a support group so we can cry on each others shoulder. >references, in particular sendrec.

I looked at the READ_ME and wasn't too impressed. I copied all the source onto the local MIPS computer, compiled the lot and did an lorder and a tsort on the resulting objects. The answer given was that a cycle was detected. So it seems that there is no correct order. Though if you're interested I'll mail you the order I've got so far. It seems good enough to enable me to recompile my kernel which I did today. >Short of rebuilding the lib manually, can anyone suggest wha a solution to the >problem might be ? Well manually isn't so bad if you use some clever shell scripts.
