VM OpenEdition Ported Packages

Packages to Download

General Notes

The archive files are in a format similar to that you would find on the VM packages page: i.e. a VMARC file containing:

<package> ABSTRACT
<package> DESCRIPT
<package> TAR

The TAR files are usually GZIP compressed so you will need the GZIP package first (which is not GZIPped!!).

The archives contain both source, object, and executable code. However, in some cases the object code has been created using the hwopts(string) compiler option. Therefore, you will have to have the string assist instructions on your processor. You'll soon tell if you have it or not by attempting to execute the programs which use it.

In most cases you should not have to run the auto-configurator programs that come along with most of these packages as the configuration files have already been built. If you do run it you will probably have to manually alter files such as Makefile and config.h.

Neale Ferguson

Note: I strongly suggest you install the following packages in this order:

LIBXPG4
GNUMAKE
GZIP
SYSLOGD
INETD

These packages will allow you to build and run all the others. If you are going to modify code then RCS should also be amongst the first.

Porting Progress

Here's what I am or have been working on recently:

SAMBA Version 2;
Perl 5.005 - the latest with thread support: now passes 85% of regression tests (I should be able to hit 95%). The VM changes have been accepted into the _53 level of the language;
Patch - utility to take a diff file and apply it to source code;
byacc - a yacc substitute (perl5 needed so I had to port it);
Samba - continuing to improve nmbd and domain logon processing;
hostname - simple command to return host name of VM system;
domainname - simple command to return domain name of VM system.

Download the ANALOG VMARC file from the webserver and upload it to your VM system using a BINARY upload. Then access an installation or T-disk as E and do PIPE < ANALOG VMARC A \| fblock 80 00 \| > ANALOG VMARC E and then decompress the VMARC file by doing VMARC UNPK ANALOG VMARC E * * E If the unpack is successful, you can discard ANALOG VMARC A. Then follow the instructions in the file README INSTALL.
