YAQ:(Yet another question) I managed to compile GNU-make 3.58, without any problems what so ever. And I can 'make' several items at a time. However, they all run at the same station. Has anybody added code to have 'remote' makes? Since a lot of time stations are just idling, because it's user is editing. Now if I can use this time to compile, Great! Are ther any patches available, or is this just a vacant item to be filled due time. I noticed code for RPC-bases remote makes, this will not run as is on an Apollo. Can this be changed? Or is it possible to use NCS for this? I've only looked very superflous to NCS before, so it would take up quite a lot of my time to even figure out how it would work. Anybody any clous?

If I remember correctly, the previous flurry of messages regarding PCNFS on the Apollos was resolved when it was pointed out the the source code for the Sun RPC library was readily available, and could be ported to SR10 with only minor work. I have located the source in the comp.sources.unix archive, volume 13, on uunet.uu.net (192.48.96.2 for those of you who have FTP access). It is contained in 15 compressed shar files in the rpc3.9 subdirectory. If you do not have FTP access, the netlib mail daemon on uunet will respond to mail messages that you send it by mailing the desired files back to you. If you are unfamiliar with "netlib", send mail to "netlib@uunet.uu.net", with the text of message being "send index". This should return the top level index of the archive along with the basic instructions on how to use netlib. Keep in mind that uunet.uu.net is pretty busy during normal working hours (9 am EST to 5 pm PST (that's Pacific Standard Time) ). Maybe if Jeff Allen is listening, he could re-post his notes on porting RPC to SR10 to refresh the memories of those who don't archive all the mail to this list. -- David Krowitz krowitz@richter.mit.edu (18.83.0.109) krowitz%richter.mit.edu@eddie.mit.edu krowitz%richter.mit.edu@mitvma.bitnet (in order of decreasing preference)
