[comp.lang.icon] Installing Icon on Sun3 with SunOS 4.0.3

hildum@ntmtv.UUCP (Eric Hildum) (01/19/90)

I have just installed Icon 7.5 on a Sun 3/60 with SunOS 4.0.3 and have a
couple of issues.

First, I have to change the -m68020 switch to -sun3 to get correct
compiliation.  This seems to work just fine; is this change going to
be made to the installation available on arizona.edu?

The new default for the cc compiler is to use software floating point,
rather than the switch option.  Would it be reasonable to change the
default sun3 installation to include the -fswitch option?

The Header file now requires almost 12000 bytes. Is this reasonable?


Other than these issues, everything went well, and all the tests
passed.
