[comp.os.minix] On fp and stdio.h

D1FRCMV0%EB0UB011.BITNET@cunyvm.cuny.edu (CMV) (05/02/91)

Dear Minixers,

After a little FTP'ing I have got fp.tar.Z, that's to say, Peter Housel's
Floating Point Library. Logically enough, I uncompressed it, untar it, and
began to compile it. I, first, compiled fpp. It worked fine. Secondly, I
compiled libfp.a, and here the problems started.

When the Makefile arrived to *printf*, it all started to be mismatched. I deci-
ded to have a look in the Standard Input/Output header. Certanly, the type of
all the *printf* files mismatch the ones in stdio.h

My question, obviously, is can I change the type of those functions? If so,
should I change something more?

I almost forget. When I elle'd stdio.h, I found the comment /* WRONG */
before all those functions.

I am using Minix 1.5.

Thank you for any help in advance. CMV    D1frcmv0 at eb0ub011.bitnet
