[comp.os.minix] 1.5.3 upgrade

phil@unicorn.WWU.EDU (Phil Nelson) (02/23/90)

I have continued to work on getting 1.5.3 working.  I never got 1.5.0 working
due to all the problems I read about and a lack of time.  I presume some of
my problems may be due to trying to do my compiling/making using 1.4.  The
following is a list of things with which I have had a problem.

  a)  commands/indent/indent.pro - I have a different crc

  b)  commands/indent/mined1.c - I have a different crc (even from the one
      Andy posted recently.)

  c)  peekpoke.c and portio.c  are listed to be in two different places.  In
      the file ibm.crc, they are listed as in that directory.  In the crc
      given in the first posting of 1.5.3 they are listed as in lib/other.

  d)  I could not find any file that claimed to be  etc/gettydefs.

  e)  I had a different crc for etc/message, etc/passwd, and etc/rc.  I hope
      this will not cause any problem.

  f)  The man pages talk about a file  /usr/doc/bawk.doc but I could not find
      one in the 1.5.0 postings or the 1.5.3 postings.

  g)  sed (version 1.4) did not like the sed stripts in the lib make files.


One final request.  If you post any of these files, please put them in a 
shell script or uuencode them.  A file posted directly makes it harder to
recover the original due to header material etc.  Thanks.

(I still have not gotten 1.5.3 working but some of these seemed important
to post now instead of later.  (missing bawk doc ...))

You were warned.

Add a line feed at the end.  It is missing.

There is a bit of junk there as Frans pointed out.  Sorry.

They now go in lib/ibm
