Well, I've finally gotten around to applying patch 3 to my version of Andrew, and it dies consistently in the build process on the Sun4. It is the usual kind of thing -- you type "make Install" in the atk/ness directory, and it comes back with the following: Checking Destination Directories.... touch install.time touch install.doc sh: 6141 Memory fault - core dumped *** Error code 139 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `Install' All of the actual code seems to be compiling OK, and right now I've got the compilation moving along nicely by using "make -k Install". However, I hadn't seen this bug reported for patch 3 (though I had seen similar ones for earlier releases) and it never happened to me before, so I thought I should report it. -- Nathaniel

Jim Fulton and I spent two days during the integration process rearranging andrew.rls to get rid of these problems, but as the system changes, they reemerge. Generally the work-around is to simplify the instructions to sh found in andrew.rls. Since we haven't a SUN4 to play with here, maybe someone who has can post a fix. FredH PS. It would help to know exactly which directory the failure occurred in. Checking patches.003, however, I can find nothing that should have affected the sh commands generated in the Makefile. Sometimes the SUN4 sh failure is non-repeatable.

Yep, I compiled just fine with patch003 installed (Sun-4/260, SunOS
4.0.3, CDEBUGFLAGS = -g).

When I compiled andrew with cc -O on the Sun-4, I too got what at first seemed like a crash in sh. The problem turned out to lie in /bin/as rather than sh. Sun is apparently aware of this problem. I had no such troubles when I compiled andrew with gcc-1.37: gcc -O -traditional -fstrength-reduce -fwritable-strings (I used the gnu assembler gas-1.34). We have been running a gcc compiled version of andrew on our Sun-3's and SPARCstation's now for about a month without any apparent problems.

Works for me now, too. How annoying. Sorry to bother people with it. -- NB
