[comp.protocols.appletalk] Rutgers Sun compiled KIP code

ronr@TANK.UCHICAGO.EDU (Ron Rusnak) (02/14/90)

Has anyone gotten the Rutgers kip code to compile and 
run on a Fastpath-2?  I compiled in on a Sun 3/180 using
gcc.

I notice for one thing, that N_DATOFF is not defined in my normal
/usr/include/a.out.h, thus dl68.c wouldn't compile.  I inserted the
following define to fix that problem.

#define N_DATOFF(x) \
        /* data table */ \
        (N_TXTOFF(x)+(x).a_text)

When I load the gw.srec on my kbox, I get a stack dump.

Opinions anyone?

We compiled it using gcc 1.35. Note also that you should use the dl68
supplied at the top level rather than the dl68 in etc/. The supplied
make file for GCC (Makefile.GCC) is the one you want to use when
building it.

We use it on KFPS-2s and I have tested it and it does run on the
KFPS-4 as well (although there is not any real reason to run it on
a KFPS-4 since K* is better and takes advantage of the extra memory).

I used the dl68 at the top level.  Can I get a copy of your gw.srec
and gw.out to try compare?  I really don't get it.  I used to use the
MIT portable compiler, which I had ported to a Pyramid.  We got rid of
the Pyramid and mostly we have Fastpath-4s running their code.
However, we have a few old Fastpath-1 and 2s which I would like to
salvage.

I can't really make much out of the stack trace, but I don't think it gets
get very far into the code before it panics.

Thanks for answering,
