Has anyone been successful in getting ELM to compile on the IBM RS/6000?
I ported 2.3pl6 a while back, but I did it by editting all the files
that wouldn't compile (there were a lot!). Anyway, I'd like to rev up
to pl8 but don't look forward to doing all the edits again. The following
is what happens when I try the make:
% make
cd src; /bin/make - all
/bin/chmod u+w ../hdrs/defs.h
/bin/touch ../hdrs/defs.h
/bin/chmod u+w ../hdrs/headers.h
/bin/touch ../hdrs/headers.h
cc -I../hdrs -c addr_util.c
49 | char *strtok(), *strcpy(), *strcat(), *strncpy(), *index(),
*rindex();
1506-041: (S) Parameter list cannot contain fewer parameters than required by macro definition.
1254-004 The error code from the last failed command is 1.
Make Quitting.
1254-004 The error code from the last failed command is 1.

The problem appears to be that CC doesn't like the redeclaration of
'char *strok()' and all the rest. If you put in lines of code like:
char * someroutine();
char * someroutine();
it will error on the second declaration just like it does above.
Is there some compiler switch that will make the compiler accept this?

Yes, there is. Or several, actually. Look in /usr/lpp/bos/bsdport for the appropriate switches (ignoring -D_BSD and -lbsd). (You don't want to compile this bsd-ish; there are more headaches concerning the Berkeley line discipline as opposed to POSIX you don't want to deal with....) What I ended up doing is simply commenting out the redundant string declarations instead..... now that I've done it once, it's no big deal, and patch is smart enough to apply things one or two lines down without complaining much. <sigh> the '6000 is a great machine.... once you get used to porting to it. Hmm. P'raps I should dress up the code and supply diffs? am I going to get innundated with demand for that? :) -- Glenn R. Stone gs26@prism.gatech.edu, glenns@eas.gatech.edu (the '6000)

Not exactly the easiest method, here's the flags I used to compile it without any mods to the code: CCFLAGS = -D_NO_PROTO -D_NONSTD_TYPES -U__STR__ -D_MBI=void -- Managing a software development team | Mark Dapoz is a lot like being on the psychiatric | mdapoz%hybrid@cs.toronto.edu ward. -Mitch Kapor, San Jose Mercury | mdapoz@torvm3.iinus1.ibm.com -- Paul Pomes UUCP: {att,iuvax,uunet}!uiucuxc!paul Internet, BITNET: paul@uxc.cso.uiuc.edu US Mail: UofIllinois, CSO, 1304 W Springfield Ave, Urbana, IL 61801-2910

Yup, it is. You say you used this: >CCFLAGS = -D_NO_PROTO -D_NONSTD_TYPES -U__STR__ -D_MBI=void What does the -U__STR__ affect?

If you put in lines of code like: Not exactly. It's strcpy() that causes the problems. When you compile with -O, the compiler will try to inline strcpy() and strcmp(). To do this, it defines two macros strcpy() and and strcmp(), which conflict with the function declarations in the elm sources. >Is there some compiler switch that will make the compiler accept this? Yes. With the current version of the compiler, you don't want to use inlined strcpy()/strcmp() anyway, so you can disable this mechanism by adding the compiler option -U__STR__ to your makefiles. No editing of source files required. -- Herbert van den Bergh, Email: hbergh@oracle.nl, hbergh@oracle.com ORACLE Europe

Sure just use bsdcc (from the BSD porting document) and make sure that
the curses rather than the termcap library is linked in src/Makefile.
This question is old hat and has been answered numerous times.

Even though this is old hat, I'm sure that this question will be asked over and over again (possibly by me even). The reason I believe is that people don't have RISC6000's so they just skip the message, two or three months later, voila! a new RISC6000 in their office. I know for a fact I've been hitting 'n' for ELM on RISC6000 for months now, Monday I learned that we're getting a RISC6000 sometime next month. Oh well.
