There appears to be a big problem in the makefile for the 1.5.3 ibm directory: There are at least 4 or 5 assembly source files in the directory, that the makefile blithely deletes! To wit: all: @rm -f portio.s peekpoke.s @ls *.s >tmp.1 @sed <tmp.1 >tmp.2 '/.*/s//& >\/tmp\/&/;/^/s//libpack </' @sh tmp.2 @rm tmp.? @ls *.c >tmp.1 @sed <tmp.1 >tmp.2 '/\.c/s///;/^/s//make f=/' @rm -rf tmp.1 *.s *.bak ### WHOA, NICK!!!! YOU BE TOO DESTRUCTIVE!!!! @sh tmp.2 @rm tmp.? I hope not too many people had to restore from backups because of this! AND ANOTHER THING! What is this? 56449 474 /home/top/ast/minix/1.5.3/lib/ibm/prtso.s I don't have one of these! Is it important? -- Kent Williams "We're One! All One!
