[comp.sys.next] Serial Port Problem and Shared Libraries

rvs@uunet.uu.net (Ronald V. Simmons) (06/29/91)

Has anyone out there found a place in the 2.0 documentation where it describes 
how to build your own shared library?  If not has anyone built their own?  Is 
it done the same way that other boxes, e.g. Sun, does it?  I'd appreciate any 
help I could get on this one. Reply via e-mail and I'll post a summary if 
appropriate.

Also, I recently noticed that periodically my serial ports "freeze up" for some 
unknown reason and that I can not uucp out or dial in from another site. I'll 
go for a month at a time, never touching anything and whammo, my news and mail 
feeds aren't happening and I'm dead. I've tried everything that I can think of, 
but the only thing that seems to clear this up is to reboot the machine.  Has 
anyone seen this behaviour?  It didn't seem to happen under 1.0.

You did not say whether your OS is 2.0 or 2.1; serial port behavior
onder 2.0 was, to say the leeast, unpredictable.
