[comp.os.minix] ST - Problem With popen

karl@aicchi.UUCP (Ken Lightbody) (03/19/89)

In trying to link the clam shell I have noticed that popen contains two
references that are missing:

       '__exit'  and  '_fdopen'

 Does this mean that 'popen' is left over from the IBM version and was never
 converted.

This problem was in the PH release.  Yes it was not tested on an Atari.

to fix __exit, change its name to exit.
To fix fdopen, rewrite open, or get it from an archieve.

Regretfully, the problem you are experiencing is a common one in these 
distributions.  They are INCOMPLETE, and the Posters usually forget to 
use STANDARD libraries and STANDARD header files when they test.
Then anything that is missing, should be supplied locally; with the option
of the user moving items to libc or include.

It took me three iterations with beta testers to learn this lesson for the 
rs232 upgrade of the kernel.
