puzzle will dump core if gcc-1.36 is used on a Sun3 running SunOS 4.0.3 To fix, use /bin/cc -- If I can get mail to you via a legally registered fully qualified domain name, you could be on Saturn for all I care. -- Bob Sutterfield <bob@MorningStar.Com>

To fix, use /bin/cc
Reason: puzzle calls sscanf() with a constant string argument.
Fix: use gcc -fwritable-strings.

If it means what I think it means, then the answer is: Compile the following with cc os/4.2bsd/oscolor.c dix/window.c ddx/mi/mifillarc.c ddx/cfb/cfbwindow.c Don't forget, for "real" optimization, specify -O2 on 680x0 machines.

This occurs on both Sun2 and Sun3 systems and the following versions of gcc: 1.36, 1.36.93, 1.36.94. Fix 1 to the server didn't affect this. The flags I have been using for compiling the server are: gcc -DNOSTDHDRS -fstrength-reduce -fpcc-struct-return -O I have found that it is the file 'ddx/mi/miwideline.c' that causes above mentioned problem, if I use cc -O4 for it everything works OK, but if I try to use gcc with any combination of flags the problem occurs. But the files namned by Kaleb Keithley haven't given me any problems. I think -fpcc-struct-return combined with running fixincludes solves most problems. If anyone have encountered any similar problem, and have found out Anything more about it Please let me know. In SunOS 3.2 The XDMCP code doesn'nt work, and in in SunOS 3.5 os/4.2bsd/xdmcp.c fails to compile with gcc (at least on Sun2 with a bit too old files created by fixinclude).

Proper fix: use a non-broken stdio that doesn't stamp on strings passed to sscanf(). (Finding such a stdio may not be entirely trivial, alas.) der Mouse old: mcgill-vision!mouse new: mouse@larry.mcrcim.mcgill.edu
