1032.0. "V1.3 & V2.0 kernel build problem" by SMURF::FILTER (Automatic Posting Software - mail to flume::puck) Wed Oct 26 1994 18:23

Subj: 	V1.3 & V2.0 kernel build problem

Can any kernel build fold help with this?  It could be related to a
build environment backward compatibility issue.

Bill, what OS version are you running?

Note: your mail subject says V2.0 but your description says V1.3
(agosmaint = v1.3; agosminor = v2.0).

Hello,

	If I create a sandbox backed by agosmaint.bl6
	should I be able to build a vmunix kernel ?

	I created the necessary HOSTNAME config files, but
	it has a compilation error with ./data/tty_pty_data.c
	complaining about a zero size struct pt_data *pt_datap[0]; 
	where the 0 comes from NPTY count which is not required.

				Bill

Why do you say NPTY is not required?  That is the only way you can
login to the system.  I don't think those kernels have streams based
ptys.

The configuration file should have the following line in it:

/* 255 is the default */
pseudo-device pty	255
