Here's part of an article I posted recently to gnu.g++. This is something that helped me bring up a number of packages more easily on 386/ix 2.0.2. If someone could check and see if this is valid for ESIX and 386/ix 2.2 I'd appreciate it. I just brought up emacs on ISC 2.0.2 a couple days ago. It was easier than I expected. I don't remember all that I did but here's a useful tip that should simplify building a number of different packages on these systems. Emacs and others want an include file called sys/sioctl.h which doesn't come with ISC Unix. So here's how to make it: First append the following line to /usr/include/sys/types.h: #define SYS_TYPES_H_DEFINED and then put the following stuff in /usr/include/sys/sioctl.h -----------------------------cut here--------------------------- #ifndef SYS_TYPES_H_DEFINED # include <sys/types.h> #endif #ifndef QENAB # include <sys/stream.h> #endif #include <sys/ptem.h> -----------------------------cut here--------------------------- after this, building emacs (and rn and less, etc.) was fairly easy. For emacs I mostly just used m-intel386.h and s-usg5-2-2.h and it went. -- Richard Foulk richard@pegasus.com

IMHO the better way to do this is to just modify sys/types.h as follows
#ifndef SYS_TYPES
<original file contents>
#define SYS_TYPES
#endif
This will have the same effect as your fix for sioctl.h (types.h will be
included twice, but the second time it will be an empty file), and avoid the
problem of finding all the places that might include types.h twice.

I guess I didn't explain well enough. It wasn't a *fix* for sioctl.h is was a creation of that file since it didn't come with ISC Unix. The handling of sys/types.h was just a peripheral issue. I did say that didn't I? -- Richard Foulk richard@pegasus.com
