Hints for building under Minix 2.0 (Contributed by Terry R. McConnell, + <tmc@barnyard.syr.edu>) + + The version of /bin/sh distributed with Minix is not up to the job of + running the configure script. The easiest solution is to swap /bin/sh + with /usr/bin/ash. Then use chmem(1) to increase the memory allocated + to /bin/sh. The following settings are known to work: + + text data bss stack memory + 63552 9440 3304 65536 141832 /bin/sh + + If you have problems with make or yacc it may be worthwhile first to + install the GNU versions of these utilities before attempting to build + bash. (As of this writing, all of these utilities are available for the + i386 as pre-built binaries via anonymous ftp at math.syr.edu in the + pub/mcconnell/minix directory. Note that the GNU version of yacc is called + bison.) + + Unless you want to see lots of warnings about old-style declarations, + do LOCAL_CFLAGS=-wo; export LOCAL_CFLAGS before running configure. + (These warnings are harmless, but annoying.) + + configure will insist that you supply a host type. For example, do + ./configure --host=i386-pc-minix. + + Minix does not support the system calls required for a proper + implementation of ulimit(). The `ulimit' builtin will not be available. + + Configure will fail to notice that many things like uid_t are indeed + typedef'd in <sys/types.h>, because it uses egrep for this purpose + and minix has no egrep. You could try making a link /usr/bin/egrep --> + /usr/bin/grep. Better is to install the GNU version of grep in + /usr/local/bin and make the link /usr/local/bin/egrep -->/usr/local/bin/grep. + (These must be hard links, of course, since Minix does not support + symbolic links.) + + You will see many warnings of the form: + warning: unknown s_type: 98 + I have no idea what this means, but it doesn't seem to matter. |
