make-3.75

gcc-2.7.2.3 ./configure --enable-languages=c

cpplib.c:

1. ifndef errno

extern int errno;

1. endif

gcc-2.95.3: FAILS needs CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/bash SHELL=/bin/bash --enable-languages=c --disable-nls --disable-multilib

fix Makefile. remove c++ from LANGUAGES libiberty: size_t is declared in <stddef.h> mkstemp.c | size_t setenv.c | size_t, NULL undefined

failes with internal compiler error 4

gawk 3.0.6 protos.h typedef int mode_t; config.h:

1. undef STRTOD

---

NEWS-OS doesn't know about struct dirent

---

NEWS-OS has buggy tolower() and topper().

tin-2.4.4-snapshot:

./configure --enable-nntp-only --with-domain=pcde.inka.de --with-nntp-default-server=news.akk.org --disable-nls --enable-broken-system-fix m68k-sony-newsos3.3 --with-shell=/usr/local/bin/bash --with-editor=/usr/local/bin/vim --with-domain=pcde.inka.de

include/autoconf.h

1. define DECL_FREE 1
2. define DECL_MALLOC 1
3. define DECL_REALLOC 1

add to pcre/pcre_globals.c:

extern void *malloc(size_t); extern void *realloc(void *, size_t); extern void free(void *);

pcre/dftables.c: NEWS-OS3.3 fopen() doesn't understand argument "wb", but fails silently, rather then giving an error message. Change to "w+"

also needs tolower and toupper fixes.

make-3.77:

1. define NULL 0

typedef int size_t; doesn't work

make-3.76.1: works

grep-2.4.2 edit src/system.h to undef HAVE unistd.h SEEK_CUR needs to be defined. lseek lives in <sys/file.h> NEWS-OS doesn't have strcoll() doesn't work

grep-2.2: works

m4-1.4.5: FAIL NEWS-OS doesn't know about MB_CUR_MAX doesn't work.

m4-1.4.3: works

top-3.3: NEWS-OS doesn't have pid_t typedef int pid_t;

vim-4.6:

add

1. include <sys/file.h>
2. ifndef SEEK_SET
3. define SEEK_SET 0
4. endif

1. ifndef SEEK_END
2. define SEEK_END 2
3. endif

to: fileio.c memfile.c memline.c

also needs strstr() use libmissing

NEWS-OS doesn't have dirent.h. Replace #include dirent.h with sys/dir.h in ctags/ctags.c

won't compile ctags. don't use ctags. vim alone works.
