[comp.os.minix] Update of problems ...

BLS7@psuvm.psu.edu (07/17/90)

I got the PC files to uncompress.  Happens that I had corrupted files because
of the transfer but, I have found a way in which to get these files
uncorrupted.  But here is the complete list of problems that I have so far:

   1)  Compiling the new make.  Step #4 in the ST upgrade kit.
       Files missing which are needed:
          utime.h
          strchr.c (library function)
          strrchr.c (library function)
   2)  Compiling patch.  Step #8 in the ST upgrade kit.
       Files missing which are needed:
          assert.h
   3)  Compiling crc.  Step #11 in the ST upgrade kit.
       Ok, where is this one hidden?  I unpacked comm5 like it said to and
       <poof> I couldnt find a file named crc.c to compile *anywhere*.
   4)  The include libraries:  Step #18-19 in the ST upgrade kit.
       I really didn't expect to have problems with this but:
           Missing files for which I have .cdif's for (even tho i can't apply
           them yet :-( )  Meaning I have the .cdifs but *no* original.
           (I was using the files include.0[0-1].Z from plains.nodak.edu which
           was in the /pub/Minix/updates/1.5 directory.)
              utime.h
              assert.h  (Oh, joy!  I have the cdif of the file that I need to
                         be able to make patch with.)
              fcntl.h
              limits.h
              string.h  (I also assume one would need the library .c files also
                         for this, unless they're all macros.)
              unistd.h
              utmp.h

Well that's all that I looked for last night.  Hope *someone* can at least find
the includes and library functions.  Cause if I have those I don't (*at this
precise moment*)  see many other major problems since most of the problems that
i'm having are with include files and the library.

In the ST 1.5.0 directory is a shar file named "missing.Z" - crc.c is in
there. Unfortunately, I don't think anything else you listed as missing
is in that archive. Oh well.
