- I'm trying to compile a program called "unsit" under NeXTStep 2.1
- on an '030 cube. This is a program that allows you to un-stuff
- Macintosh StuffIt archives (from StuffIt version 1.5.1 and before)
- under UNIX. I have a NeXT binary that was compiled long long
- ago (under NS1.0!) that still works, but the source was lost
- in a disk crash. I grabbed what I *think* is the same source
- code ("unsit-15.shar") from the net (an "archie" search turned
- up several dozen sites that had the same file, and nothing
- newer, so I think this is the current version, even though
- it's dated nearly 3 years ago now). I tried to re-compile it
- but the resulting executable reports checksum errors on StuffIt
- archives that I *know* to be valid -- archives that the old
- binary un-stuffs without problems. Have I run afoul of some arcane
- bug in the compiler or a library? This program has been in circulation
- for years now; I can't believe that I'm the first person to try to
- use it on a NeXT.
-
- I would be deeply grateful if someone who has had experience with
- this program (successful or otherwise) would get in touch with me.
- I'd appreciate email -- the volume of traffic in these groups is
- huge -- but I'll also try to monitor the groups for a few days.
-
- If someone wants source or executables or a sample archive that
- illustrates the problem, let me know; I'll be happy to send them.
-
- Thanks in advance for any assistance.
