[comp.sys.apollo] Sendmail 5.61 run time bug

cosc4fp@jetson.uh.edu (09/08/90)

I fixed the compile bug in daemon.c (#if def apollo if the wrong place) and I
got it to compile.  Now when I run sendmail in a sys5.3 environment, I get
signal error #19 (Apollo-specific fault)  [Sendmail 5.61].  If I run it via
bsd4.3 environment it works fine     [when I issue a sendmail -q command]

I compiled with both run and sys type set to bsd4.3 and linked with systype set
to any and runtype set to sys5.3.   Anyone have any ideas where to proceed?

That's almost guaranteed to fail.  You'll get sysV system call semantics,
but you compiled with the Berkeley include files, so you'll get all kinds of
argument mis-matches.

If you don't know what you're doing, it's best not to try to override the
default setting of systype and runtype.
