I just installed v1.0.1 of the development system on my v1.1 ODT machine. I
originally installed the entire development system, but when this problem
occurred, I thought it might "go away" if I removed everything and installed
only the OS portion of it. After installing only the OS portion of the
Dev. System, the problem still persists.
I wrote a test program that simply writes "Hello World" to the screen (we've
all seen this before) just as a test to see if everything was installed
correctly before I transfer over all my source and begin my port from
SCO Xenix 386 to ODT Unix SVR3.2. Well, using either "make test.c" or
"cc test.c" I get the same message:
Compiler error : Floating point exception
That makes it sound as if the compiler (in pass 2 -- I tried "cc -d" for
debugging output and it got to "P2:" and was executing " /lib/386/p2_386"
when this message was printed) is crashing by itself, not because of
incorrect input.
This system is comprised of an Intel i80386 motherboard and a bunch of
other clone hardware. The ODT system itself runs fine including TCP/IP
and NFS and the server upgrade stuff and everything, so I can't
understand why this program doesn't work correctly. If this is a known
problem with the Dev. System release 1.0.1, I'd like to know how to
get an update.
HELP!

It sounds like something's wrong with either your FPU (if you have one), or your FP emulator. Make sure you're using the ms emulator (make sure that /etc/emulator is a link to /etc/emulator.ms). >If this is a known >problem with the Dev.

1. I noticed that you have Version 1.0.1 .. Version 2.0 is the latest and greatest and I'm sure that lot's is fixed .. 2. This is the response I got from SCO from an unrealated problem with Version 1.0.1. ************************************************************************ Organization: Cycare Systems Internet : drt%cysog@hbiso.ma02.bull.com UUNET: uunet!hbiso!cysog!drt Phone: (602) 224 0555 | FAX: (602) 224 0872 System: B.O.S.
