(I believe some people did collect fixes/changes that they had made to the R3 distribution - but these were people outside of the ITC and I don't think we have any record of them) We have since worked much harder on organizing things like this, so that when the R4 release is made (December? January? -- ask MIT) we will be able to provide patches for it. Sorry. --fish

I just picked up XR4 and I'm trying to compile andrew 3. I looked on expo and emsworth.andrew.cmu.edu for patches but they were gone. What happened to them? greg

What > happened to them? > greg The new Andrew has no bugs, so there is no need for patches !-) :-) (sigh) Actually there bugs. Indeed two problems are severe enough to prevent compilation on some machine types. These fixes will be included in an imminent patch: >> overhead/class/pp/class.c. I changed the declaration of 'errorhandler' to void to eliminate a compiler warning on the SPARC. Unfortunately some other compilers give a fatal error for this type. The type needs to be omitted. >> config/allsys.h: ANDREW_MALLOC_ENV is now defined for all systems. For a few systems it should be undefined because there are symbol conflicts. The patch will be to modify the system.h files in config/ps_aix11/ and config/rt_aix221/ to have #undef ANDREW_MALLOC_ENV #undef DEBUG_MALLOC_ENV If there are other systems for which this change is necessary, please let me know.
