I'm trying to get smail3 up on my Unix 386 box, but Wollongong's network library calls alloca(), which is nowhere to be found on my system. Do you have a version for 386 Unix you'd be willing to share? I'll get there eventually, but I'm not much of an assembly hacker, and it's slow and painful.

There is usually an alloca() in libPW.a, so try a -lPW. -- Conor P. Cahill (703)430-9247 Virtual Technologies, Inc., uunet!virtech!cpcahil 46030 Manekin Plaza, Suite 160 Sterling, VA 22170

Unless I'm mistaken, on SysV alloca() is over in libPW.a If you can't find it on any of your standard libraries you'll find one somewhere in the GNU software. The Emacs distribution if I remember right... Yes, I just checked on one of our SysV machines. Add -lPW to your cc line. -- <- David Herron, an MMDF weenie, <david@twg.com> <- Formerly: David Herron -- NonResident E-Mail Hack <david@ms.uky.edu> <- <- Sign me up for one "I survived Jaka's Story" T-shirt!

I believe that libPW was only present in SVR3 in order to build SCCS. In the most recent SVR4 load that I have sources for, libPW has been renamed mpwlib and moved into /usr/src/cmd/sccs/lib. It doesn't seem to get installed into /usr/lib, so unless you have source, it appears that you'll be SOL in SVR4. -- Steve Alexander, Software Technologies Group | stevea@i88.isc.com INTERACTIVE Systems Corporation, Naperville, IL | ...!{sun,ico}!laidbak!stevea

No, it doesn't. True, but not particularly helpful. alloca() is in /usr/ucblib/libucb.a. You'll get it if you run /usr/ucb/cc (which just invokes regular cc with BSDish options and libraries), or you can add it explicitly. -- Dick Dunn rcd@ico.isc.com -or- ico!rcd (303)449-2870 ...Reality is neat!
