While make-ing Larry Wall's patch package (thanks, Larry!) on my 3B1,
ld complained that _assert.o was missing. Sure enough, <assert.h>
references _assert, but _assert.o is not in /lib/libc.a (assert.o
is in there). Nor is _assert referenced in /lib/shlib.ifile.
I worked around by extracting assert.o (ar -x /lib/libc.a assert.o),
renaming it to _assert.o, and updating the Makefile to link it into
patch. I also added _assert.o to the archive (using ar -q) in case
other routines might want to use assert, but I haven't decided what to
do about the shared libraries yet.
Somebody please tell me what I'm missing here!??!
BTW, I'm running 3.5.1.4.

Here's what I did to it and the Makefile: SRC = patch.c pch.c inp.c version.c util.c OBJ = patch.o pch.o inp.o version.o util.o assert.o ^^^^^^^^ Tacked this on here. all of the following was commented out. I uncommented the dependencies. # assert.o is now in the shared library, yeah! assert.o: ar x /lib/libc.a assert.o Whammo! The whole thing worked. -- Skate UNIX or go home, boogie boy...

[... no _assert.o when compiling lwall's patch program.]
That's strange. I just compiled patch this morning on my
3b1, and I didn't have any trouble. What patchlevel are you
at?? (I'm at level 4, though I'm getting the patches up to
11 soon).
