[comp.sys.sgi] Getting Kermit to run on a 4D

rpaul@dasys1.UUCP (Rodian Paul) (06/04/88)

Having problems porting kermit to the 4D? Here's a
hack that works TO AN EXTENT.

I was getting core-dumps any time I tried to "connect"
with kermit, and dbx just pointed at fork() as the
culprit. I found out how to get around the problem
but not how to fix it. 

My .kermrc looked like this

	set 	modem 	hayes
	set	line	/dev/ttyd6
	set	speed	1200
	set	flow	none

Take out the line "set flow" and everything worked fine.

The following two files are from the 2000-3000 series
machines and should be placed in the source directory.

You then need to edit the files:	

	ckufio.c 
	ckutio.c

Replace the given lines in both files:

replace line: #include <types.h>
        with: #include "types.h"

replace line: #include <dir.h>
        with: #include "dir.h"

Thanks to frobinso@cirm.northrop.com for help on this one.

Compile with "make sys3nid".

You'll still get compiler warnings but otherwise you'll
have a working version of kermit.
