[comp.os.minix] V1.2-V1.3 upgrade problems

PILLAY.KDA@EXETER.AC.UK (02/01/90)

Our network at Exeter was down for a couple of days and I might
have missed any replies, if any, reagarding my inquiry on updating
from V1.2 to V1.3. Here is the message again.

Dear Andy,

Hassles! I have been upgrading minix from V1.2 to V1.3 and I have had
problems re-compiling the library sources, namely files ttyname.c
times.c, getcwd.c . They can't find include files , types.h, times.h and dir.h
from directory /usr/include/sys . The inlcude directory on Disk 1 of
the V1.3 distribution does not contain any sub-directories and the h
directory on Disk 2 V1.3 does not have the missing files either.

So far I had to create the sub-directories minix,sys,fs under
/usr/include and decompressed/unarchived the inlcude.a.Z file into
directory /usr/include . I then copied all the *.h files from the
V1.3 sources found on disk 2 in h/h.a.Z into /usr/include/minix dir ;
all the *.h files from fs into /usr/include/fs and
copied stat.h from h/h.a.Z into /usr/include/sys. I set up the links as
suggested in Section 25 of V1.3 documentation.

It seems that the V1.3 distribution missed out the sub-directories
under the /usr/include directory etc..
My ISBN number for V1.3 is 0-13-584723-0

I would be very grateful if you could get me out of my misery.

Thanks Ken.
