Hi there. I recently upgraded from Minix-ST 1.1 to 1.5.10, and things have been going pretty smoothly. However, I've been compiling quite a few utilities lately (such as uucp, and a mail transport agent) and I've been getting some strange errors. After staring at page after page of code, I can't seem to find anything wrong. Does anyone know if there's a list of known compiler (includes and library stuff too) bugs out there for the version I'm running? I probably missed something, but I figured I'd ask before I pulled my hair out. :-) -Steve ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Usenet: sgerakin@hawk.ulowell.edu | SteveNet: GENESIS:Steve2 | | UUCP: ...!harvard!swan!sgerakin@hawk | "My kingdom for a smoke!!!" | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

What compiler do you use? There are problems with GNU gcc:
All library moduls using open() must be recompiled with a fcntl.h
adapted for MINIX 1.5.10.

I noticed that a newer version of MINIX ST is out. I never had any luck with minix ST 1.10. I bought it used from a person in California, so I guest that I cannot get an update wihtout re-purchasiong the whole thing again. My main problem was that I was never able to get it to install onto the my hard drive. I guess I need to change some of the source code, but I don't what to change. I am using a Supra Drive (on of the earlier ones) but I heard that there was a fix for it. I did try it on another hard drive, and the same interrupt discarded message appear on that drive (with an IDS, I think controller). Anyways, what I was wanting to know was how to get the updates, and if the updates (1.5.10, I think) might include the hard drive updates. Any comments are appreciated.
