I'm trying to install B news version 3, patchlevel 6 (I'm a beta tester,
supposedly, but I've never been able to get the stuff to compile) under
System V/AT. I just installed version 2.4 of the software development
stuff in order to fix this problem, but no soap.
The situation:
The configuration stuff builds a copule of shell scripts and a couple of
header files. You then issue a "make -f Makefile.dst firstmake" command
to build the makefiles with all the variables set. The firstmake section
reads:
# On the first make, generate Makefile once just to set $(DIRLIST) properly,
# then force a re-generation so GenerateMake will attach correct prefixes
firstmake:
./GenerateMake; touch Makefile.dst;
make makefiles
And the makefiles section:
makefiles:
make Makefile
for x in $(DIRLIST); do (cd $$x; echo "$$x:"; $(MAKE) -f Makefile.dst Makefile); done
Makefile: Makefile.dst
$(MAINDIR)/GenerateMake $(DIRLIST)
The "make makefiles" statement blows up with a "termination code 139".
HELP!!!
No, I don't have Microport's $149 "support" contract, so I haven't tried
calling them with this one.

It compiles and makes OK under Microport V/386 -- that's : what my development box runs. Anybody know what his make termination code 139 : means? Probably a segment violation, as in 128, a bit meaning "core dumped" to the wait(2) function, + 11, the signal number for segment violation. Sounds like a bug in the make, though it is possible that a process called by make died and make just passed the return code along. --- Bill { uunet!proxftl | novavax } !twwells!bill
