Subject: Problem with v32c build?

Hi Josh,

I completely removed my v32csupportos.nightly sandbox just to make
sure, and rebuilt it from scratch, but I still can't build the
kernel.  The problem seems to be with a symbol in some code I haven't
worked on.

I don't see any other errors in the build.  Is this something wrong with
my stuff or is there a problem with v32c?

Dick

rm -f vmunix vmunix.sys
loading vmunix.sys

Subj: 	Re: fwd: v32c support kernel build problems

I had a little trouble trying to trace this in that this is another case of 
repointing a link, in this case from 

/share/inr/build/v32support.dsk6
to
/share/inr/build/v32csupport.dsk6

And old links aren't getting removed. At least mine wasn't. Once I blew away 
the bad link and replaced it I was able to make a sandbox and use cscope. That 
symbol, pts_cdev only exists in two files:

1 conf.c <global>       2150 dev_t pts_cdev = makedev(6,0);
2 pty.c  <global>        255 extern dev_t pts_cdev;


Did you happen to touch either of these? If not perhaps your link is wrong 
too. Can you cd to /usr/sde/osf1/build/v32csupportos.nightly and see the tree?

Here's my current odemount: 	
inr: 	/share/inr/build/v32csupport.dsk6             5358312     2240789

	3029320    43%    /share/inr/build/v32csupport.dsk6

which appears to be correct.

I found those two files also, but they are nothing I have touched.  They
are links to whatever is in the backing tree.

I completely removed and rebuilt my whole v32c sandbox just to eliminate
any possibility that I had something wrong in it, so this is a plain
vanilla sb.

Do you get the same error when you build the kernel?
