- Hi there.
-
- Has anyone managed to get the TNET source posted a few days ago to work on
- Minix for the Atari ST?
-
- I am running version 1.5 (with M-Kernel) and I managed to compile everything
- with gcc (with a bit of trouble as some of the function prototypes are
- wrong). I also put in the OS patches, except the ones relating to ptys
- because my kernel already has ptys and the select() system call.
-
- What happens, for example, when I run the finger program, is that tnet
- forks and execs fingerd as required, and then (according to ps) both fingerd
- and finger block on XPIPE.
-
- Can anyone see what is going wrong?
-
- Thanks,
-
