Date: 21 Nov 1994 19:38:45 GMT Organization: SOCS, McGill University, Montreal, Canada Lines: 53 Distribution: world Message-ID: <3aqt05$7tf@homer.cs.mcgill.ca> NNTP-Posting-Host: binkley Hey everyone. Uhrm... I posted earlier about having some problems rebuilding the NetBSD-1.0 system from /usr/src... I think I have gotten around a number of problems, by following the directions in the FAQ for upgrading to -current (although I'm still not sure why, but I guess I should have done that in the first place...). However, two BIG questions remain, now: a) /usr/src/gnu doesn't want to build... if I % cd /usr/src/gnu; make && make install the make pukes up some problems with redefinitions and conflicting types. For instance, /usr/include/stdio.h and /usr/include/g++/stdio.h seem to have some fundamental differences - functions that return long ints in one, return short ints in the other version, and so on... The same holds for some things in both versions of unistd.h (?). Uh, so my question is, what have I done wrong? What is happening here, and how can I fix it? b) Neither cu nor tip like me anymore, even after I applied the patch to common_sources/conn.c... cu insists on bailing out with a read/write error or something to that effect, and tip doesn't seem to seize the port (/dev/com1) properly.. I retooled /etc/remote for tip, (I used to always use cu), but still no dice.. As such I cannot dial out... It is a very strange feeling, to not be able to SLIP my machine into the local net here... Suggestions? Comments? Clues? Patches? I would be extrememly grateful for any advice I can get here... Thanks in advance.
