You *do* have rdchk(); that function is a "Xenix-specific" enhancement, and as such, isn't in the /lib/libc.a archive -- it's in /lib/libx.a. Therefore, you need to add a "-lx" to the final cc command line in the Makefile. I don't have my Mush sources on-line (hey, I only have 110Mb of disk space!) so I don't have a list of all the changes I made to get Mush to compile. I know I had to use the "-+" cc option (uses 32 char function/variable names instead of 7) which is only on the 3.2 compiler. Tod, email me for details. - paul -- INTERNET: paul@devon.lns.pa.us | If life's a bitch, then UUCP: ...!rutgers!devon!paul | we must be her puppies.

I think this message is of somewhat general interest so I'm forwarding it to the newsgroup. I have no familiarity with the tandy-6000 or the xenix that runs with it, so maybe someone out there can help. --- Forwarded mail from Tod D.

Romo (ecor1 administrator) <uunet!ecor1!todr> To: argv%island@sun.com Subject: Mush 6.5.6 (soon 7.x) on a Tandy Mr. Heller, I apologize for adding clutter to your probably already cluttered mailbox, but I felt this wasn't worthy of a "netwide" comp.mail.mush posting. I am trying to compile Mush (6.5.6) on a Tandy 6000 running Xenix. I am compiling as SysV. Everything appears to be fine, other than a few include files being missed or looked for in the wrong place. When I try to run it and hit ^D, it sends the mail but puts me into the shell and tells my I can't "pipe to a command." I noticed that you have an ifdef for 'M_XENIX' in 'curs_io.c' to use a command 'rdchk()'. I do not have this in my libraries and cannot find any information on it. My hunch/hope was that this was the problem, since in order to compile I commented out that segment. I would greatly appreciate any comments or suggestions you have on compiling Mush for the Tandy or on the function of "rdchk()". Thank you. -- Tod D.
