- Hello people,
-
- OK, I'm reformed. I now carefully check to see that the patches applied
- through scripts take. One of the reasons I have had trouble with this
- update is that I didn't make certain that all my sources were clean
- original 1.5.10 Minix sources. Some of the diffs did not take and
- then I compounded the problem by making further changes on my own to
- try and fix the problems. Now I've gone back to basics and checked all
- the include files ( /include, /include/sys, and /include/minix ) against
- the 1.6.16.crc listing to be certain everything is as it should be.
- I've done the same with /src1.6.16/kernel and everything matches perfectly
- with the exception of the Makefile; I made small changes reflecting my use
- of the ANSI compiler. When I 'make dummy', which is what must be done to
- compile the kernel, all compiles well, but the link fails because
- the functions "sigaddset, sigemptyset, and sigismember" are not present.
- I encountered this problem before and recall that I was easily able to
- figure out what these functions did and replace the code, but I again
- will end up with "unofficial code" that will make life difficult when
- I try future updates from 1.6.16. Were these functions ommitted, or
- am I still overlooking something? Were some patches for this created that
- I missed? Any suggestions are welcome.

- Thanks,
