I have had much problems getting install to work on an old ncr_tower
running AT&T SysV R2. The problems are centered around dir funtions (opendir,
readdir, etc.). The system only had the old directory structure with
fixed-length file names and none of the dir functions defined. My original
attempt got stuck compiling sv.c with error in sv.h line 256 (DIR *
xio_dirp).
Andy Dougherty(doughera@lafcol.lafayette.edu) suggested forcing a
definition using -DDIR=int. Below are cuts from Configure and make trying
that; as you can see, it doesn't work. I finally installed the ndir from
Doug Gwynn that Andy happened to mention (got it from gnu - dirent.tar
library), and that solved the problems; thanks for the hint, Andy !
Might I suggest that it be included in the install kit, or has anyone got a
better idea for a fix?
Any additional cc flags?
[-W2,-Sl,1500 -W0,-Sp,350,-Ss,2500 -Wp,-Sd,30 -DDIR=int]
Let me guess what the preprocessor flags are...
