Subj: Re: Question regarding V4.0/V3.2 problem
Yup. And here's a summary of the problem and two solutions from Fred:
Needs to be fixed in all the 3.2 support pools.
__________
As you know I had trouble building a sandbox backed by hw6os.bl6 on
my workstation running V4.0. The errors were in three files:
src/kernel/src/mkdata/mkdata.c
src/kernel/src/mkeisadata/mkeisadata.c
src/kernel/src/mktcdata/mktcdata.c
The errors were caused by mixing and matching problems with the string.h
header file. These error should be fixed before UHS developers convert
their workstations to V4.0 and encounter them. There are two options
for fixing this:
1) Remove the #include of string.h and stdlib.h from the above files.
They build if these #includes are removed.
2) Modify the Makefile for the above .c files as follows:
41c41
< INCFLAGS = -I/usr/include -I../../include
---
> INCFLAGS = -I../../include -I/usr/include
Searching /usr/include first makes sure the compiler sees the matching
version of the header files (i.e., the ones from the build machine).
Option 2 seems cleaner to me.

| Hi -
|
| I'm running Digital UNIX V4.0 on my workstation, and am attempting to build
| a v32de2supportos sandbox on it backed against v32de2supportos.bightly. "bu
ild
| setup" fails as shown below. "build setup" runs OK on another workstation
| running V3.2C for a sandbox backed against v32de2supportos.nightly.
|
| Any idea what gives ? Looks like a compiler compatability problem. Don't I
| inherit the compiler from the tools associated with the backing tree, or is
| cc run locally from my workstation (which would explain it) ? A similar
| problem must have existed during V4.0 development. Is there a simple
| workaround ?
|
| Thanks for any help.
