[comp.unix.ultrix] RCS 5.5

mra@srchtec.uucp (Michael Almond) (01/10/91)

Anyone tried getting RCS 5.5 up and running under Ultrix 4.1?  There are
quite a few function definition conflicts (as usual) with the Ultrix header
files.

There also seems to be a problem in the rcsmerge, it uses diff.

I have it up and running here (UWS 4.1) and I'm quite happy with it. The only
glitch is the conflicting definition of "wait" in conf.h and /usr/include.
Either ignore this (ugly, but works), delete the wait declaration in
conf.h (even more ugly, but still works). I agree that is painful at
the moment where 2/3 of the header files already ANSI-fied and lead
to collisions with programs that try to provide their own, but then
fall apart when they hit on an old file that hasn't got prototypes
yet. I usually fix the header files... 

PS: Make sure to use GNU-diff (diff-1.15), or you will be in trouble.
    It's also a lot faster.
