Are there any know problems trying to install InterViews 3.0 (Beta) on a SPARCstation running SunOS 4.0.3? In my first attempt (using Saber-C++) several files did not compile due to "cpp" segmentation faults or bus errors (weird). I'm in the process of trying it using the Sun C++ compiler instead. Anyone seen this weirdness?

From my experience,
1. for cpp's segmentation fault, add +i option to C++ driver(CC) .
2. in 4.0.3, waitpid() is lacking, so you cannot link ibuild.
I tried to substitute with wait4(), but ibuild dies when I try to
execute the produced code, so this might have been wrong.

In my first attempt (using Saber-C++) several files did not compile due to "cpp" segmentation faults or bus errors (weird). Just two days ago, somebody else posted that if you added +i to CCDriver in your local.def, Saber C++ would be able to compile 3.0-beta. Nobody's reported a similar problem with Sun C++, probably because Sun C++ uses its own cpp. We haven't encountered this problem with AT&T C++, but we're running SunOS 4.1 so 4.1's cpp is probably better than 4.0.3's cpp. -- John Interrante / interran@lurch.stanford.edu

GNU's version. Or call Sun and ask for the latest version, which they claim will support 64 nested #includes -- I can't verify the limit of 64, but it did solve a similar problem for me. -dms

Anyone seen this weirdness? I had this problem, but the new Sun cpp (which comes with SunOS 4.1.1) fixed it. The cpp that comes with Sun C++ 2.0 also works properly, as does gnu cpp and several others. -greg +----------------------------------------------------+ Greg Brail Internet: gjb@cs.brown.edu BITNET: gjb@browncs.bitnet UUCP: ..uunet!brunix!gjb Home: (401)273-1172
