Yesterday I installed MacMinix on my 2MB MacPlus. *THANK YOU* Joe Pickert for
the "10 Easy Steps to Macintosh Hard Disk Nirvana" - the pain you saved me...
(And, thank you for MacMinix!)
So for my first project, I decided to install Clam which I scarfed from
plains.nodak.edu. I had to make a couple of changes to the files (which I
will post as soon as clam works) to get a clean compile and link. Howsumever,
clam exits prematurely with an unhelpful message "assert failed in
lib/malloc.c" and core dumps. So,
(1) What do I do with a core dump? No adb. No sdb. No mdb. Find "*debug*"
and "*dbg*" are silent. "*db*" returns matches against "badblocks".
That leads to the following question,
(2) How does one debug in MacMinix? (No, no, not printf... please.)
Now, I know that I can compile clam with debugging turned on, but I'd rather
not. (Understandable, nah?)
Finally, as a last resort,
(3) Are there some ftp sites with a clam which will compile with ACK on
MacMinix?
Thanks.

I would guess that it is 1.3.3. If so, ftp to ccadfa.cc.adfa.oz.au [131.236.1.2] and pick up the files clam1.4dif.Z and clam1.4new.Z. These are patches to 1.3.3 that bring Clam up to the latest version (1.4.1). I believe that this version will compile under 680x0 Minix versions with ACK. Let me know if not!
