Compiling xntp on a VAX 5810 works just fine until it gets to xntpd.
Then it tells me:
cd xntpd ; make xntpd
cc -O -DCONFIG_FILE=\"/usr/local/etc/ntp.conf\" -I../include -c ntp_config.c
ccom: Error: ../include/ntp.h, line 13: illegal type combination
typedef signed char s_char;
--------------------------^
*** Error code 1
Stop.
*** Error code 1
Stop.
Has anyone seen this before? I checked out <sys/types.h> and it
already defines s_chr. Could that be a problem? Advice and suggestions
welcome. Thanks.

I changed ntp.h like this to make it compile on Ultrix RISC v4.1: *** ntp.h.orig Thu Oct 26 14:17:36 1989 --- ntp.h Thu May 16 15:59:08 1991 *************** *** 7,17 **** --- 7,19 ---- * use it.
