Now I've got a situation where it is just flat out horrible, with no room for argument, and I'd like to plead for a change. We have a big timesharing system here that an increasing number of people are using via X terminals, many to run Andrew. Guess what? Using "help" in the obvious way, only one of them gets a help window. The rest of them are told that their help request is being sent to an existing window, leaving them to roam the hallways in search of their help. This is NOT considered a friendly thing for the help program to do! At the very least, this feature should be either sensitive to the DISPLAY variable (one help window per DISPLAY) or configurable so that you can turn it off via the AndrewSetup file. Right now, I have to tell everyone to use "help -new" which seems like a really ugly thing to do... Could this be fixed in a future patch?

Lowery" , Steve Rohall \begindata{text,2503816} \textdsversion{12} \template{messages} There seems to be a bug in AMS/ATK that causes a reproducible core dump in Messages. After looking at the code a bit, I'm pretty sure it is really an ATK bug. I'll describe the bug here. To reproduce the bug: \leftindent{1. Run messages. From within messages, open a mail sending window and start composing mail. 2. Go back into the message-reading window and choose "Send/Post Message". You'll find yourself back in the sending window with a dialog box that asks if you want to erase the message you were composing. 3. Choose "NO." Now look very carefully: Your input focus is gone! That's right, there is now \bold{\italic{no view with the input focus}}. Very interesting, huh? 4. Now just start typing. Given that there's no input focus (though the \italic{user} can't be expected to notice this), your input doesn't show up where you might expect it. On sun3 and sun4 platforms, at least, you get a core dump. } Now, I can imagine fixing this in AMS, but I think that's the wrong place. It seems to me that the dialog box should always make sure to restore the input focus to where it was before it started. It also seems to me that the toolkit should not dump core when you start typing without there being any input focus! But at any rate, it should be fixed somewhere....

However, upon further reflection, I think I need to send more information about our configuration. The things are set up now, we don't have an internet connection. We dial up to uunet.uu.net for our outside mail, and dial up to a machine called "ole" to get our external bboard messages. The mail from uunet (as well as all internal mail) gets appended to a file on the user's home machine called "/usr/spool/mail/". The bboard messages get parcelled out to the directory structure described in my first post on the machine connected to the modem.

I noticed that there is already code there to do something similar in \typewriter{helptxtv.c}, the problem is it doesn't get invoked. I noticed that in \typewriter{frame__GetHelpBuffer}, the line \typewriter{buffer = buffer_Create(bufferName, NULL, "text", NULL);} creates a \italic{text} object that is used to store buffer names, filenames, etc. in. I was trying to find out which view was getting hooked to this. It defaults to \italic{textview}. Down a little in \typewriter{frame__SetHelpBuffer}, there is the line: \description{\typewriter{\leftindent{self->DialogBufferView = buffer_GetView(buf, &inputFocus, &targetView,"helptextview"); }}} Seems like this would set the view to \italic{helptextview}, but it never reaches this statement. I created a dummy subclass of \italic{text} called \italic{helptext}, replaced "text" with "helptext" in the \typewriter{buffer_Create} line, and \underline{\bigger{poof!}} I could now select items out of the help buffer. This works nice for completing filenames and buffer names for \bold{Visit/Switch File} and \bold{Visit Buffer}. Just type a ? at the message prompt, click on one of the names listed and hit return. I like this. Any chance for this to be the default behavior? -- Dave P.S. List Buffers would have to be fixed since it will also place the selected name on the message line (which is useless).

Whether they have an Internet connection or not is essentially immaterial. AMS as it comes out of the box should be configured about right for your configuration, as far as exchanging mail goes. You may wish to look through the help file on AndrewSetup (under $\{ANDREWDIR\}/help/setup.help, if your ``help'' program is disfunctional) to check on the various configuration options; certainly before deploying AMS widely, you'd want to check that. What Nathaniel's message discussed was simply the mechanism by which AMS interfaces deal with netnews messages as stored in their native format, under /usr/spool/news/... . His reply pertains to that option only; the rest of AMS works fine under the circumstances you describe. That is, there are options in AMS to read native trees of messages under netnews, but they are expensive options. The alternative is to make an AMS-format copy of all the netnews articles, which works fine, but costs a lot of disk space. Does that clarify a little?

From: Jim Donahue Last week I tried installing the Andrew distribution from the X11R4 tapes. With only a little work, I was able to get ez, chart, bush, ... running. However, I have two problems that have me stumped: 1. I made and tried to run the amsdemo. It puts up a nice window announcing the Andrew Message System, displays a message that says something like "Initializing Andrew Message System...", waits about 30 seconds and then dies (the window disappears). I have set what I thought were an appropriate set of defaults in both AndrewSetup and preferences, but I get more or less the same behavior whatever I try. (I am not running AFS and have set the default to not use white pages.) Any simple things I can try to find out what's going on? 2. I can get a typescript window into which I can type. However, when I hit return after typing a command, nothing exciting happens. Indeed, the window behaves a lot like an emacs window -- when I type "^X-^C" the window vanishes. Another general question. I built the examples and they all seemed to build without difficulty. Now, what can I do with them? The documentation in the README files doesn't say much, and I haven't found anything in the help documentation that gives me any pointers.

The second notices that on an hpux system, pgrp is never set. I am sending this patch to this forum so that other people who actually use tm, can confirm that this patch works.

My recommendation is that the documents be done in smaller chunks (as you would with other document preparation environments.) Then produce a root file, and use datacat -i to produce the final large document from the parts. Quoting from the datacat help page: \leftindent{When given the \bold{-i} flag, datacat will search through the files it is passed for lines of the form @include(filename) }\leftindent{Datacat \bold{-i} will interpret all of the instances of this and include the named files in its output. The \bold{-I} flag does the same as the \bold{-i} flag, except that it will also look for @include lines in the included files themselves. } So you would have a root file that consisted of entries like this: @include(chap1.ez) @include(chap2.ez) I hope this helps, -wdc \enddata{text,1924908} \enddata{text822, 73975} \begindata{text822, 76521} Return-path: X-Andrew-Authenticated-as: 0;andrew.cmu.edu;Network-Mail Received: from po3.andrew.cmu.edu via trymail for info-andrew+@andrew.cmu.edu (->+dist+/afs/andrew.cmu.edu/usr0/ak99/dists/info-andrew-nostrip.dl) ID ; Thu, 20 Jun 91 10:07:47 -0400 (EDT) Received: from po3.andrew.cmu.edu via qmail ID ; Thu, 20 Jun 91 10:05:35 -0400 (EDT) Received: from thumper.bellcore.com by po3.andrew.cmu.edu (5.54/3.15) id for info-andrew+; Thu, 20 Jun 91 10:05:29 EDT Received: from greenbush.bellcore.com by thumper.bellcore.com (4.1/4.7) id for info-andrew+@andrew.cmu.edu; Thu, 20 Jun 91 10:04:59 EDT Received: by greenbush.bellcore.com (4.12/4.7) id for stef@ics.uci.edu; Thu, 20 Jun 91 10:08:57 edt Received: from Messages.7.14.N.CUILIB.3.45.SNAP.NOT.LINKED.greenbush.mouseclub.sun4.40 via MS.5.6.greenbush.mouseclub.sun4_40; Thu, 20 Jun 1991 10:08:51 -0400 (EDT) Message-Id: Date: Thu, 20 Jun 1991 10:08:51 -0400 (EDT) From: Nathaniel Borenstein To: info-andrew+@andrew.cmu.edu Subject: Andrew to text format -- help? Cc: Ned Freed , stef@ics.uci.edu References: <4214.677389369@nma.com> (This is sort of halfway between an Andrew and an nroff question, but I think it is of interest to Andrew users in general.) I've recently had need to convert an Andrew-format document to a plain text file for people to read all over the Internet, and the results are still slightly glitchy. I've figured out 2/3 of what I did wrong, but would like advice on the last point. First of all, I chose not to use the "ezview" program to simply strip out all formatting, the way the mail system does, because I wanted to end up with pagination, numbered page headings, table of contents, etc. So instead, I did the following: ezprint -c -t $1 | nroff -Tlpr The addition of the "-Tlpr" took care of most of my problems in the first pass, such as embedded escape characters and weird page lengths. However, I am left with one undesirable oddity: several things are underlined with the ^H_ convention, which is not what I would consider plain text. Does anyone know how to tell nroff not to do this?

Another possibility (perhaps more distant) is to make an AMS bboard suite for Northware (maybe just for some parts of it), and non-Messages users could run VUI or BatMail or CUI to respond to questions.

Thanks. GDB 3.5 comes standard with a separate set of modifications to deal with dynamically-loaded code; I think it can cope with stuff loaded with ATK's private dynamic loader. I have some patches to GDB 3.5 that can cope with SunOS 4.x's dynamic loader; it handles both shared libraries and stuff loaded at run-time with "dlopen()" under 4.1[.x] (although, as with the GDB support for private dynamic loaders, you have to tell GDB to suck in the symbol tables for stuff loaded at run-time; for stuff loaded with "dlopen()", though, you don't have to tell it *what* to load, nor tell it where it was loaded - it grovels through the run-time loader's data structures to find that out). GDB is presumably available from any reasonable archive of GNU stuff, by anonymous FTP or UUCP or whatever; I think you can also get it on a tape from the FSF. \enddata{text822, 94323} \begindata{text822, 96757} Return-path: X-Andrew-Authenticated-as: 0;andrew.cmu.edu;Network-Mail Received: from po5.andrew.cmu.edu via trymail for info-andrew+@andrew.cmu.edu (->+dist+/afs/andrew.cmu.edu/usr0/ak99/dists/info-andrew-nostrip.dl) ID ; Thu, 20 Jun 91 19:42:46 -0400 (EDT) Received: from po2.andrew.cmu.edu via qmail ID ; Thu, 20 Jun 91 19:40:17 -0400 (EDT) Received: from ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU by po2.andrew.cmu.edu (5.54/3.15) id for info-andrew; Thu, 20 Jun 91 19:39:52 EDT Received: by ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU (5.63/1.42) id AA12304; Thu, 20 Jun 91 16:33:10 -0700 Received: from USENET by ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU with netnews for info-andrew@andrew.cmu.edu (info-andrew@andrew.cmu.edu) (contact usenet@ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU if you have questions) Date: 20 Jun 91 22:48:24 GMT From: auspex!guy@uunet.uu.net (Guy Harris) Organization: Auspex Systems, Santa Clara Subject: Re: Building andrew on a sparc 1+ Message-Id: <8441@auspex.auspex.com> References: <1991Jun6.180410.26043@milton.u.washington.edu>, Sender: info-andrew-request@andrew.cmu.edu To: info-andrew@andrew.cmu.edu >RESOLVELIB is kind of broken on SunOS 4.1 and 4.1.1. >It seems to have a funny format which upsets dynamic loading. Actually, it may depend on whose dynamic loading you're talking about. :-) The 4.1 "libresolv.a" appears to be filled with position-independent ".o" files; while that may mean they contain relocation directives that ATK's private dynamic linker can't cope with, it means that the dynamic linker built into SunOS 4.x may actually like them *better*, because they don't require relocation. I.e., the intent was that the "libresolv.a" stuff could be put into a modified "libc.so.X.Y" that, instead of using NIS to look up host names, used the resolver, so that dynamically-linked programs would magically start using the resolver. You *could* link with "-lresolv" - as I assume is done, in effect, with ATK programs - but I don't think that was the primary way Sun expected it to be used. When patch 10 comes out, this problem may go away, as ATK's private dynamic loader isn't used for ".do" files in patch 10 under 4.1[.x]; instead, "doload()" is built atop the routines in "-ldl" (present in SunOS 4.1[.x], SVR4, and perhaps in 4.4BSD). \enddata{text822, 96757} \begindata{text822, 99268} Return-path: X-Andrew-Authenticated-as: 0;andrew.cmu.edu;Network-Mail Received: from po5.andrew.cmu.edu via trymail for info-andrew+@andrew.cmu.edu (->+dist+/afs/andrew.cmu.edu/usr0/ak99/dists/info-andrew-nostrip.dl) ID ; Thu, 20 Jun 91 21:07:20 -0400 (EDT) Received: from po3.andrew.cmu.edu via qmail ID ; Thu, 20 Jun 91 21:05:55 -0400 (EDT) Received: from alpha.xerox.com by po3.andrew.cmu.edu (5.54/3.15) id for info-andrew; Thu, 20 Jun 91 21:05:40 EDT Received: from holmes.parc.xerox.com ([13.1.100.162]) by alpha.xerox.com with SMTP id <12092>; Thu, 20 Jun 1991 18:05:33 PDT Received: by holmes.parc.xerox.com id <33026>; Thu, 20 Jun 1991 18:05:21 -0700 Received: from Messages.7.14.N.CUILIB.3.45.SNAP.NOT.LINKED.holmes.parc.xerox.com.sun4.40 via MS.5.6.holmes.parc.xerox.com.sun4_40; Thu, 20 Jun 1991 18:05:11 -0700 (PDT) Message-Id: <4cMJ37oB0KGWM1irMh@holmes.parc.xerox.com> Date: Thu, 20 Jun 1991 18:05:11 PDT Sender: Bill Janssen From: Bill Janssen X-Andrew-Message-Size: 266+0 Content-Type: X-BE2; 12 If-Type-Unsupported: send To: info-andrew@andrew.cmu.edu Subject: messages bug in excepting from marked messages Cc: irwin@parc.xerox.com \begindata{text,2819296} \textdsversion{12} \template{messages} If I send a message from \bold{messages}, then mark a couple of messages, then choose "Excerpt All" from the "Send/File Marked" menu, the marked messages are excerpted into the sending window, but the previously sent message is not cleared first.

In other words, if the message is just sitting around after a successful delivery, and then you do an excerpt (or excerpt all), perhaps it would make sense to clear it out first.

And now a special round of applause to Tom Neuendorffer, who has put a lot of effort into ATK over the years, and into patch 10 as well. I'll turn the floor over to Tom for a minute to let him tell you about a recent change in the ATK group: ____________________________________________________________ \leftindent{\heading{A Change at the Helm.} As many of you know, I have been managing a small but very productive ATK group at the ITC since January 1990. In that time we have been putting out ATK patches on a semi-regular basis containing bug fixes and many backward compatible enhancements. I believe we have been fairly successful in our support of ATK. One of our users commented to me that we have been more responsive to bugs and complaints than the commercial vendors he has been dealing with. Recently the ITC has begun work on a new project called TACTUS, whose goal is to see what support at the toolkit level can be provided to programmers interested in creating real- time objects, such as music, video, and animation. The project is being headed by Roger Dannenberg, and several researchers, including myself, have joined in this effort. In order to devote more time to this new work, I am turning over my position as manager of the ATK group to David Anderson, who has been working on toolkit architectural issues with Andy Palay for several years and has expressed to me his interest in taking over the helm. I wish him him good fortune in his new endeavor, and I expect to see him lead the group to new successes. For my own part, I plan to remain active in the ATK community. Meanwhile, I would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank those who have worked with me on ATK. Thanks to Gary Keim for his ability to track down and fix bugs, and his deep dedication to the users of ATK. Thanks to Susan Straub and her superb work as point-person for the group. Thanks to our part-timers: Rob Ryan and Stephan Greene for their work.

Thanks > in advance. -- Nathaniel If u have nroff available, u should find "col" around as well. col is designed (I gather) to buffer nroff output and stop printers from jumping off the table as they attempt reverse line-feed and such 4th, but its -b option should get rid of your back-spacing problem. Incidentally, I assume you really mean that your output is of the form "_^Hchar_^Hchar" rather than "char^H_char^H_" (at least I hope it is) .... col's -b option effectively overwrites all back-space sequences with the last character of the sequence, so if you're really getting the underscore last in the sequence, this won't work.

Eventually, I added in a "?E=" (for things dependent on environment variables) because the predefined things like machine type & name were just not enough. I'm not sure you want to enumerate all the desired possibilities, either. Instead, one possibility is a more general mechanism in which a command is executed and its exit status determines whether or not the preference should be read. For example: ?X=/u/nsb/bin/iscolor: some-preference would execute the /u/nsb/bin/iscolor program and have some-preference take effect only if it returns a non-zero value. You might also want to hardwire some of the more common ones, like the ones Mike mentions, but there will be a never-ending stream of them. However, this is (obviously) not very efficient. But why do we need any changes at all? You can do the "right thing" today, with no code changes, if you really want. Add the code to .xinitrc that checks whatever you want and sets an environment variable, e.g. if (big-hairy-test) then setenv ISCOLOR 1 else setenv ISCOLOR 0 endif and then have preferences of the form ?E=ISCOLOR=1: whatever I believe that this approach will work for you today, without going any further down the slippery slope of hard-wired preference options.... -- Nathaniel \enddata{text,2532856} \enddata{text822, 146322} \begindata{text822, 150114} Return-path: X-Andrew-Authenticated-as: 0;andrew.cmu.edu;Network-Mail Received: from andrew.cmu.edu via trymail for info-andrew+@andrew.cmu.edu (->+dist+/afs/andrew.cmu.edu/usr0/ak99/dists/info-andrew-nostrip.dl) ID ; Mon, 24 Jun 91 14:54:43 -0400 (EDT) Received: from po3.andrew.cmu.edu via qmail ID ; Mon, 24 Jun 91 14:53:29 -0400 (EDT) Received: from sun2.nsfnet-relay.ac.uk by po3.andrew.cmu.edu (5.54/3.15) id for info-andrew; Mon, 24 Jun 91 14:53:05 EDT Received: from doc.imperial.ac.uk by sun2.nsfnet-relay.ac.uk via JANET with NIFTP id <20803-0@sun2.nsfnet-relay.ac.uk>; Mon, 24 Jun 1991 18:39:21 +0100 Received: from Messages.7.14.N.CUILIB.3.45.SNAP.NOT.LINKED.swan.doc.ic.ac.uk.sun4.40 via MS.5.6.swan.doc.ic.ac.uk.sun4_40; Mon, 24 Jun 1991 17:38:13 +0000 (GMT) Message-Id: Date: Mon, 24 Jun 1991 17:38:13 +0000 (GMT) From: N J Williams X-Andrew-Message-Size: 2092+0 Content-Type: X-BE2; 12 If-Type-Unsupported: send To: info-andrew@andrew.cmu.edu Subject: compiling patch10 on sun4, sunos4.1.1 Sender: njw@doc.imperial.ac.uk \begindata{text,2125224} \textdsversion{12} \template{messages} Well, here we go.

From the top-level README: \subsection{1.2.7 Notes on Installation on a MIPS system} The MIPS compiler tools have a notion of a global area into which small data items are allocated. This allows the compiler to generate small-offset addresses for these items, which gives better performance. By default, any item eight (8) bytes or smaller gets allocated into this area. Unfortunately, the global area mechanism clashes horribly with the way dynamic loading works. The problem is that the global area is fixed in size at link time and cannot be expanded at run time. Therefore if a dynamic object (.do file) contains any data that must go in the global area, the object cannot be loaded. In order to get around this problem, all code that goes into .do files must be compiled with the "-G 0" switch. For source code shipped in the Andrew distribution, this is not really a problem, since we just compile everything -G 0. However, one must also provide -G 0 versions of certain system libraries as well. In particular, the following libraries are needed in -G 0 form: libc.a libm.a libX11.a All of the AFS libraries, if AFS_ENV is set. On some systems, these libraries will be available in the same place as their -G 8 couterparts, but with _G0 appended to their names (e.g. libc_G0.a instead of libc.a). On other systems, one must compile these libraries from source. Once the appropriate libraries are collected, they must be made known to the build process. At present, this is done in a somewhat ad-hoc fashion. There is a make variable MIPSLIBC_G0 which should be set in config/site.mcr to the path of one's -G 0 libc.a, sans the trailing ".a". For example: MIPSLIBC_G0 = /usr/andrew/lib/mips_G0/libc This macro is used in overhead/class/machdep/dec_mips/Imakefile . The rest of the libraries must be placed in a directory that will be searched by the makedo shell script. By default, this directory is $(BASEDIR)/lib/mips_G0/ . This can be changed by editing the path following the -L on the following line in overhead/class/machdep/dec_mips/makedo.csh: ld -L$\{libdir\}/mips_G0 -r -o $\{outfile:r\}.dog $filelist $\{libdir\}/libcx.a | egrep "ld:" If a dynamic object contains some non -G 0 code, makedo will print an error message and exit, thereby stopping the build. -end- Furthermore, there use to be a collection of some important G0 libraries in the ftp directory, but they seem to have gone away. I'll investigate where and why?

I think that the first block can be removed. John, can you do this and see if things roll? or, you could define WHITEPAGES_ENV (of course). Gary Keim ATK Group Upon further reflection, it does appear that that it is necessary to define WHITEPAGES_ENV if you also define AFS_ENV. From the \italic{white-pages} help file: \section{What Uses the White Pages }\leftindent{ Applications that make use of the WP are called ``clients''. Some WP clients that you probably use include the Andrew Message System ( \italic{AMS }), the Andrew File System ( \italic{\bold{AFS} }), and the \italic{ls } , \italic{login }, and \italic{finger } programs. You can also write programs of your own that use either the site WP or some other WP that you create. } It could very well be that this is a \bold{bold-face lie}, but I was looking through some code in overhead/util/lib that had quite a bit of mixing of AFS and WP calls. Maybe Craig Everhart can give us the real poop on this matter. \enddata{text,270355692} \enddata{text822, 171061} \begindata{text822, 175397} Return-path: X-Andrew-Authenticated-as: 38;andrew.cmu.edu;Susan Straub Received: from po3.andrew.cmu.edu via trymail for info-andrew+@andrew.cmu.edu (->+dist+/afs/andrew.cmu.edu/usr0/ak99/dists/info-andrew-nostrip.dl) ID ; Tue, 25 Jun 91 00:41:51 -0400 (EDT) Received: from andrew.cmu.edu via qmail ID ; Tue, 25 Jun 91 00:39:16 -0400 (EDT) Received: from hamburg.andrew.cmu.edu via qmail ID ; Tue, 25 Jun 1991 00:37:46 -0400 (EDT) Received: from hamburg.andrew.cmu.edu via qmail ID ; Tue, 25 Jun 1991 00:37:42 -0400 (EDT) Received: from cui.2.0.CUILIB.3.45.SNAP.NOT.LINKED.hamburg.andrew.cmu.edu.rt.aos4 via MS.5.6.hamburg.andrew.cmu.edu.rt_aos4; Tue, 25 Jun 1991 00:37:41 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: Date: Tue, 25 Jun 1991 00:37:41 -0400 (EDT) From: Susan Straub To: Info-Andrew , fernwood!lia!steve@uunet.uu.net (Stephen Williams) Subject: Re: Patch 10 Cc: In-Reply-To: <1991Jun24.224440.8644@lia> References: <1991Jun24.224440.8644@lia> Stephen, You can get a copy split and mailed to you by sending mail to andrew-service@andrew.cmu.edu.

Certainly it says that AFS_ENV implies WHITEPAGES_ENV in the file Gary quotes. It is an oversight that this implication isn't in the README file. I suppose, though, that if you wanted to turn off AMS_ENV entirely, you wouldn't need WHITEPAGES_ENV, even if AFS_ENV were defined. We never designed for AFS_ENV being defined without WHITEPAGES_ENV also being defined. I expect that if you try to build the world this way, you'll encounter link errors, and if you solve them, you may encounter run-time errors. Why not build with WHITEPAGES_ENV on? It's simple enough.

This is the first patch that would work on our sparcs so far, or at least that I've done.) But, any program that tries to create an X window will give the following: Starting help (Version 7.2, ATK 17.0); please wait... Could not open the display; this program will not run without a window system. help: failed to create new window; exiting. Exit 1 Does anyone know what would cause this? We are using X authority here, and I was running as myself, so it's not the simple problem of not being able to write on the display. I even tried xhost +'ing, but still the same problem.

I see a few possible solutions to this: 1. Remove the module containing gethostbyname() from libresolv. I think this is called 'gethost' or 'getname' or something like that. This is probably the optimal solution, if it works. 2.

"/usr/lib/libdl.so.1.0" is, indeed, a placeholder to keep "ld" happy. The run-time loader checks, quite specifically, for a shared library with the name "/usr/lib/libdl.so.1.0" (yes, it really does a "strcmp" on the name of the library and that string) and, if that's the library being loaded, uses the symbols from the run-time loader itself as the symbols for that library, rather than the symbols from that library. The routines in that library just print out "stub interception failed" complaints. This also means that you must *not* use a "-L//usr/lib" line (as gets generated for some Makefiles if you've said the X libraries are in "/usr/lib") when linking "runapp", for example. Yes, the above is the wrong way to handle "-ldl"; I don't know if SVR4 does it the same way or not. \enddata{text822, 238761} \begindata{text822, 241160} Return-path: X-Andrew-Authenticated-as: 0;andrew.cmu.edu;Network-Mail Received: from po5.andrew.cmu.edu via trymail for info-andrew+@andrew.cmu.edu (->+dist+/afs/andrew.cmu.edu/usr0/ak99/dists/info-andrew-nostrip.dl) ID ; Sat, 29 Jun 91 05:57:10 -0400 (EDT) Received: from po2.andrew.cmu.edu via qmail ID ; Sat, 29 Jun 91 05:55:02 -0400 (EDT) Received: from ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU by po2.andrew.cmu.edu (5.54/3.15) id for info-andrew; Sat, 29 Jun 91 05:54:44 EDT Received: by ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU (5.63/1.42) id AA04418; Sat, 29 Jun 91 02:45:56 -0700 Received: from USENET by ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU with netnews for info-andrew@andrew.cmu.edu (info-andrew@andrew.cmu.edu) (contact usenet@ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU if you have questions) Date: 29 Jun 91 06:30:23 GMT From: mojo.eng.umd.edu!cross@mimsy.umd.edu (Chris P.

It used the Nameservice stuff in our libc. } If you define RESOLVER_ENV on SunOS4.x plaforms, and you set RESOLVLIB to nil, you still end up using the resolver. It may not have been necessary to do this but, we create our own shared resolver library and install it in $\{BASEDIR\}/lib. With dynamic loading, we can't have multiple copies of the resolver getting into a single process (runapp). Using the shared library informs the run-time linker that the resolver is needed, and it is then up to ld.so to do things right. If you look in andrew/atk/apps/Imakefile you'll see that we link against -lresolv to get the shared resolver for the SunOS4.x platform. There are a few other places that link against the shared resolver, as well. Unfortunately, we also link regular programs with the non-shared resolver. I think that you want to #undef RESOLVER_ENV in site.h and rebuild for the Sun4. If the Sun3 you referred to is not a SunOS4.x box, that explains why the current configuration works on that machine-- no native dynamic loader, or shared resolver, getting in the way.

The pertinent stuff: SunOS 4.1.1 SPARCstation IPC X11R4 server (Xsun) on a color (cgtree) monitor There are several problems. First, with compiling: When compiling tabs.do, the doindex command fails with the message doindex: indexing tabs.do ...ld.so: map heap error (9) for /dev/zero It is interesting that I can run doindex on all the individual .do files and I get no errors. I have the same trouble with the console tool: /local/andrew/bin/doindex -d /local/andrew/dlib/atk consolea.do doindex: indexing consolea.do ...ld.so: map heap error (9) for /dev/zero So I go without the console and I try some of the tools. The first problem I notice is that when I try to use a menu, the cursor (the -> cursor) is wrong. It is displayed as a white box with a transparent arrow. It seems that the X cursor mask bits are reversed. Last problem (for today): typescript doesn't work. It didn't work before patch 10, but patch 10 at work (4.1 on a SPARCstation 1) does work. The symptoms are the same as before patch 10: The child process (usually /bin/csh) dies immediately (sometimes after printing the prompt. I am having none of these troubles on a SPARCstation with the X11R4 server (Xsun), a monochrome monitor, and SunOS 4.1. I am frustrated.

I had exactly the same problem and spent about 12 hours banging my head against a wall until I realized that the top level Makefile hadn't been generated on a Sparc. Look at the top level Makefile, and if the first three macros aren't SYSTEM_H_FILE = sun4_41/system.h SYS_IDENT = sun4_41 SYS_OS_ARCH = sun_sparc_41 then you will need to recreate it - the bogus values were be enshrined since the top level Makefile installs system.h. imake -Timake.tmpl -I. -I./config -DTOPDIR=.

Lowery" , Steve Rohall \begindata{text,2503816} \textdsversion{12} \template{messages} There seems to be a bug in AMS/ATK that causes a reproducible core dump in Messages. After looking at the code a bit, I'm pretty sure it is really an ATK bug. I'll describe the bug here. To reproduce the bug: \leftindent{1. Run messages. From within messages, open a mail sending window and start composing mail. 2. Go back into the message-reading window and choose "Send/Post Message". You'll find yourself back in the sending window with a dialog box that asks if you want to erase the message you were composing. 3. Choose "NO." Now look very carefully: Your input focus is gone! That's right, there is now \bold{\italic{no view with the input focus}}. Very interesting, huh? 4. Now just start typing. Given that there's no input focus (though the \italic{user} can't be expected to notice this), your input doesn't show up where you might expect it. On sun3 and sun4 platforms, at least, you get a core dump. } Now, I can imagine fixing this in AMS, but I think that's the wrong place. It seems to me that the dialog box should always make sure to restore the input focus to where it was before it started. It also seems to me that the toolkit should not dump core when you start typing without there being any input focus! But at any rate, it should be fixed somewhere.... Have a nice day! -- Nathaniel \enddata{text,2503816} \enddata{text822, 265745} \begindata{text822, 268812} Return-path: X-Andrew-Authenticated-as: 0;andrew.cmu.edu;Network-Mail Received: from andrew.cmu.edu via trymail for info-andrew+@andrew.cmu.edu (->+dist+/afs/andrew.cmu.edu/usr0/ak99/dists/info-andrew-nostrip.dl) ID ; Tue, 4 Jun 91 15:58:37 -0400 (EDT) Received: from po2.andrew.cmu.edu via qmail ID ; Tue, 4 Jun 91 15:56:59 -0400 (EDT) Received: from relay2.UU.NET by po2.andrew.cmu.edu (5.54/3.15) id for info-andrew; Tue, 4 Jun 91 15:56:45 EDT Received: from uunet.uu.net (LOCALHOST.UU.NET) by relay2.UU.NET with SMTP (5.61/UUNET-internet-primary) id AA16771; Tue, 4 Jun 91 15:56:36 -0400 Received: from sgihbtn.UUCP by uunet.uu.net with UUCP/RMAIL (queueing-rmail) id 153441.1398; Tue, 4 Jun 1991 15:34:41 EDT Received: from snomas by sgihbtn.

However, upon further reflection, I think I need to send more information about our configuration. The things are set up now, we don't have an internet connection. We dial up to uunet.uu.net for our outside mail, and dial up to a machine called "ole" to get our external bboard messages. The mail from uunet (as well as all internal mail) gets appended to a file on the user's home machine called "/usr/spool/mail/". The bboard messages get parcelled out to the directory structure described in my first post on the machine connected to the modem. Given all of the above, I guess my first question should have been: Is it possible to use the AMS under this configuration? If not, what do we need to change?

I noticed that there is already code there to do something similar in \typewriter{helptxtv.c}, the problem is it doesn't get invoked. I noticed that in \typewriter{frame__GetHelpBuffer}, the line \typewriter{buffer = buffer_Create(bufferName, NULL, "text", NULL);} creates a \italic{text} object that is used to store buffer names, filenames, etc. in. I was trying to find out which view was getting hooked to this. It defaults to \italic{textview}. Down a little in \typewriter{frame__SetHelpBuffer}, there is the line: \description{\typewriter{\leftindent{self->DialogBufferView = buffer_GetView(buf, &inputFocus, &targetView,"helptextview"); }}} Seems like this would set the view to \italic{helptextview}, but it never reaches this statement. I created a dummy subclass of \italic{text} called \italic{helptext}, replaced "text" with "helptext" in the \typewriter{buffer_Create} line, and \underline{\bigger{poof!}} I could now select items out of the help buffer. This works nice for completing filenames and buffer names for \bold{Visit/Switch File} and \bold{Visit Buffer}. Just type a ? at the message prompt, click on one of the names listed and hit return. I like this. Any chance for this to be the default behavior? -- Dave P.S. List Buffers would have to be fixed since it will also place the selected name on the message line (which is useless).

Whether they have an Internet connection or not is essentially immaterial. AMS as it comes out of the box should be configured about right for your configuration, as far as exchanging mail goes. You may wish to look through the help file on AndrewSetup (under $\{ANDREWDIR\}/help/setup.help, if your ``help'' program is disfunctional) to check on the various configuration options; certainly before deploying AMS widely, you'd want to check that. What Nathaniel's message discussed was simply the mechanism by which AMS interfaces deal with netnews messages as stored in their native format, under /usr/spool/news/... . His reply pertains to that option only; the rest of AMS works fine under the circumstances you describe. That is, there are options in AMS to read native trees of messages under netnews, but they are expensive options. The alternative is to make an AMS-format copy of all the netnews articles, which works fine, but costs a lot of disk space. Does that clarify a little?

From: Jim Donahue Last week I tried installing the Andrew distribution from the X11R4 tapes. With only a little work, I was able to get ez, chart, bush, ... running. However, I have two problems that have me stumped: 1. I made and tried to run the amsdemo. It puts up a nice window announcing the Andrew Message System, displays a message that says something like "Initializing Andrew Message System...", waits about 30 seconds and then dies (the window disappears). I have set what I thought were an appropriate set of defaults in both AndrewSetup and preferences, but I get more or less the same behavior whatever I try. (I am not running AFS and have set the default to not use white pages.) Any simple things I can try to find out what's going on? 2. I can get a typescript window into which I can type. However, when I hit return after typing a command, nothing exciting happens. Indeed, the window behaves a lot like an emacs window -- when I type "^X-^C" the window vanishes. Another general question. I built the examples and they all seemed to build without difficulty. Now, what can I do with them? The documentation in the README files doesn't say much, and I haven't found anything in the help documentation that gives me any pointers.

My recommendation is that the documents be done in smaller chunks (as you would with other document preparation environments.) Then produce a root file, and use datacat -i to produce the final large document from the parts. Quoting from the datacat help page: \leftindent{When given the \bold{-i} flag, datacat will search through the files it is passed for lines of the form @include(filename) }\leftindent{Datacat \bold{-i} will interpret all of the instances of this and include the named files in its output. The \bold{-I} flag does the same as the \bold{-i} flag, except that it will also look for @include lines in the included files themselves. } So you would have a root file that consisted of entries like this: @include(chap1.ez) @include(chap2.ez) I hope this helps, -wdc \enddata{text,1924908} \enddata{text822, 328704} \begindata{text822, 331252} Return-path: X-Andrew-Authenticated-as: 0;andrew.cmu.edu;Network-Mail Received: from po3.andrew.cmu.edu via trymail for info-andrew+@andrew.cmu.edu (->+dist+/afs/andrew.cmu.edu/usr0/ak99/dists/info-andrew-nostrip.dl) ID ; Thu, 20 Jun 91 10:07:47 -0400 (EDT) Received: from po3.andrew.cmu.edu via qmail ID ; Thu, 20 Jun 91 10:05:35 -0400 (EDT) Received: from thumper.bellcore.com by po3.andrew.cmu.edu (5.54/3.15) id for info-andrew+; Thu, 20 Jun 91 10:05:29 EDT Received: from greenbush.bellcore.com by thumper.bellcore.com (4.1/4.7) id for info-andrew+@andrew.cmu.edu; Thu, 20 Jun 91 10:04:59 EDT Received: by greenbush.bellcore.com (4.12/4.7) id for stef@ics.uci.edu; Thu, 20 Jun 91 10:08:57 edt Received: from Messages.7.14.N.CUILIB.3.45.SNAP.NOT.LINKED.greenbush.mouseclub.sun4.40 via MS.5.6.greenbush.mouseclub.sun4_40; Thu, 20 Jun 1991 10:08:51 -0400 (EDT) Message-Id: Date: Thu, 20 Jun 1991 10:08:51 -0400 (EDT) From: Nathaniel Borenstein To: info-andrew+@andrew.cmu.edu Subject: Andrew to text format -- help? Cc: Ned Freed , stef@ics.uci.edu References: <4214.677389369@nma.com> (This is sort of halfway between an Andrew and an nroff question, but I think it is of interest to Andrew users in general.) I've recently had need to convert an Andrew-format document to a plain text file for people to read all over the Internet, and the results are still slightly glitchy. I've figured out 2/3 of what I did wrong, but would like advice on the last point. First of all, I chose not to use the "ezview" program to simply strip out all formatting, the way the mail system does, because I wanted to end up with pagination, numbered page headings, table of contents, etc. So instead, I did the following: ezprint -c -t $1 | nroff -Tlpr The addition of the "-Tlpr" took care of most of my problems in the first pass, such as embedded escape characters and weird page lengths.

Another possibility (perhaps more distant) is to make an AMS bboard suite for Northware (maybe just for some parts of it), and non-Messages users could run VUI or BatMail or CUI to respond to questions.

Thanks. GDB 3.5 comes standard with a separate set of modifications to deal with dynamically-loaded code; I think it can cope with stuff loaded with ATK's private dynamic loader. I have some patches to GDB 3.5 that can cope with SunOS 4.x's dynamic loader; it handles both shared libraries and stuff loaded at run-time with "dlopen()" under 4.1[.x] (although, as with the GDB support for private dynamic loaders, you have to tell GDB to suck in the symbol tables for stuff loaded at run-time; for stuff loaded with "dlopen()", though, you don't have to tell it *what* to load, nor tell it where it was loaded - it grovels through the run-time loader's data structures to find that out). GDB is presumably available from any reasonable archive of GNU stuff, by anonymous FTP or UUCP or whatever; I think you can also get it on a tape from the FSF. \enddata{text822, 349070} \begindata{text822, 351506} Return-path: X-Andrew-Authenticated-as: 0;andrew.cmu.edu;Network-Mail Received: from po5.andrew.cmu.edu via trymail for info-andrew+@andrew.cmu.edu (->+dist+/afs/andrew.cmu.edu/usr0/ak99/dists/info-andrew-nostrip.dl) ID ; Thu, 20 Jun 91 19:42:46 -0400 (EDT) Received: from po2.andrew.cmu.edu via qmail ID ; Thu, 20 Jun 91 19:40:17 -0400 (EDT) Received: from ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU by po2.andrew.cmu.edu (5.54/3.15) id for info-andrew; Thu, 20 Jun 91 19:39:52 EDT Received: by ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU (5.63/1.42) id AA12304; Thu, 20 Jun 91 16:33:10 -0700 Received: from USENET by ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU with netnews for info-andrew@andrew.cmu.edu (info-andrew@andrew.cmu.edu) (contact usenet@ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU if you have questions) Date: 20 Jun 91 22:48:24 GMT From: auspex!guy@uunet.uu.net (Guy Harris) Organization: Auspex Systems, Santa Clara Subject: Re: Building andrew on a sparc 1+ Message-Id: <8441@auspex.auspex.com> References: <1991Jun6.180410.26043@milton.u.washington.edu>, Sender: info-andrew-request@andrew.cmu.edu To: info-andrew@andrew.cmu.edu >RESOLVELIB is kind of broken on SunOS 4.1 and 4.1.1. >It seems to have a funny format which upsets dynamic loading. Actually, it may depend on whose dynamic loading you're talking about. :-) The 4.1 "libresolv.a" appears to be filled with position-independent ".o" files; while that may mean they contain relocation directives that ATK's private dynamic linker can't cope with, it means that the dynamic linker built into SunOS 4.x may actually like them *better*, because they don't require relocation. I.e., the intent was that the "libresolv.a" stuff could be put into a modified "libc.so.X.Y" that, instead of using NIS to look up host names, used the resolver, so that dynamically-linked programs would magically start using the resolver. You *could* link with "-lresolv" - as I assume is done, in effect, with ATK programs - but I don't think that was the primary way Sun expected it to be used. When patch 10 comes out, this problem may go away, as ATK's private dynamic loader isn't used for ".do" files in patch 10 under 4.1[.x]; instead, "doload()" is built atop the routines in "-ldl" (present in SunOS 4.1[.x], SVR4, and perhaps in 4.4BSD). \enddata{text822, 351506} \begindata{text822, 354019} Return-path: X-Andrew-Authenticated-as: 0;andrew.cmu.edu;Network-Mail Received: from po5.andrew.cmu.edu via trymail for info-andrew+@andrew.cmu.edu (->+dist+/afs/andrew.cmu.edu/usr0/ak99/dists/info-andrew-nostrip.dl) ID ; Thu, 20 Jun 91 21:07:20 -0400 (EDT) Received: from po3.andrew.cmu.edu via qmail ID ; Thu, 20 Jun 91 21:05:55 -0400 (EDT) Received: from alpha.xerox.com by po3.andrew.cmu.edu (5.54/3.15) id for info-andrew; Thu, 20 Jun 91 21:05:40 EDT Received: from holmes.parc.xerox.com ([13.1.100.162]) by alpha.xerox.com with SMTP id <12092>; Thu, 20 Jun 1991 18:05:33 PDT Received: by holmes.parc.xerox.com id <33026>; Thu, 20 Jun 1991 18:05:21 -0700 Received: from Messages.7.14.N.CUILIB.3.45.SNAP.NOT.LINKED.holmes.parc.xerox.com.sun4.40 via MS.5.6.holmes.parc.xerox.com.sun4_40; Thu, 20 Jun 1991 18:05:11 -0700 (PDT) Message-Id: <4cMJ37oB0KGWM1irMh@holmes.parc.xerox.com> Date: Thu, 20 Jun 1991 18:05:11 PDT Sender: Bill Janssen From: Bill Janssen X-Andrew-Message-Size: 266+0 Content-Type: X-BE2; 12 If-Type-Unsupported: send To: info-andrew@andrew.cmu.edu Subject: messages bug in excepting from marked messages Cc: irwin@parc.xerox.com \begindata{text,2819296} \textdsversion{12} \template{messages} If I send a message from \bold{messages}, then mark a couple of messages, then choose "Excerpt All" from the "Send/File Marked" menu, the marked messages are excerpted into the sending window, but the previously sent message is not cleared first.

In other words, if the message is just sitting around after a successful delivery, and then you do an excerpt (or excerpt all), perhaps it would make sense to clear it out first.

You can pick up a copy of the entire tree from the file andrew.010.tar.Z via anonymous ftp from emsworth.andrew.cmu.edu (128.2.30.62) in the top level directory; the patch is split in the ./patches directory as patch.010aa, patch.010ab, patch.010ac and patch.010ad. You should apply them individually, starting with aa through ad. Many thanks to all of the contributors who are making this possible. Especially to Andy Palay, who had his fun fixing a lot of the little details of text before moving on to his new position at SGI. Thanks also to Bill Cattey of Project Athena at MIT, Curt Galloway of SCO, Jean Gascon of HP, Guy Harris, Charles Hayden of Bell Labs, and all the others whose contributions are of great importance to the continued success of ATK. Here's an overview of what's new in patch 10: Contributed code: \description{\leftindent{Contributed code from MIT, including transient window support and header & footer object Contributed (untested) code from SCO w/ port to SCO Unix Port to HP RISC machine (HP-UX 7.0), contributed by BellSouth and HP }\description{Improved SunOS4.x support, including contributed code to use SunOS4.x native dynamic loading Contributed code from Bell Labs including vi-style editing } }New ITC work: \description{\leftindent{Motif style menu emulation, with optional pop-up menus Motif style scroll bar option Motif style dialog box option Motif style buttons }} Changes to existing components: \leftindent{\description{Improved Animation object that doesn't block while animating Improved Adew application builder w/ ability to create true insets (some of the new Adew features are not yet documented; contact Tom Neuendorffer (tpn+@andrew.cmu.edu) for more information) Improved text scrolling code that allows partial scrolling of insets Improved typescript completion code Improved tabs support (from MIT with some modification) Better support for handling ~ in file names (esp. w/ AFS) Improved RS6000 support, including working typescript Color text support, including support for setting color styles in lookz Improved style editor, including ability to bring up lookz in a separate window }Interline/Interparagraph spacing in text (and lookz) Improved style model, including ability to control styles with keystrokes Improved hyperlink, including 2 new button styles Raw mode reading of files and templates ^U handling now in interaction manager AFS 3.1 support Support for running under Sun OpenWindows *Lots* of small improvements } \bold{Important note}: The change to tabs requires a change to ctext templates. The default ctext template has been changed accordingly; if you have your own, add the line attr:[Flags TabsCharacters Int Set] as an attribute of the global style. And now a special round of applause to Tom Neuendorffer, who has put a lot of effort into ATK over the years, and into patch 10 as well. I'll turn the floor over to Tom for a minute to let him tell you about a recent change in the ATK group: ____________________________________________________________ \leftindent{\heading{A Change at the Helm.} As many of you know, I have been managing a small but very productive ATK group at the ITC since January 1990. In that time we have been putting out ATK patches on a semi-regular basis containing bug fixes and many backward compatible enhancements. I believe we have been fairly successful in our support of ATK. One of our users commented to me that we have been more responsive to bugs and complaints than the commercial vendors he has been dealing with. Recently the ITC has begun work on a new project called TACTUS, whose goal is to see what support at the toolkit level can be provided to programmers interested in creating real- time objects, such as music, video, and animation. The project is being headed by Roger Dannenberg, and several researchers, including myself, have joined in this effort. In order to devote more time to this new work, I am turning over my position as manager of the ATK group to David Anderson, who has been working on toolkit architectural issues with Andy Palay for several years and has expressed to me his interest in taking over the helm. I wish him him good fortune in his new endeavor, and I expect to see him lead the group to new successes. For my own part, I plan to remain active in the ATK community. Meanwhile, I would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank those who have worked with me on ATK. Thanks to Gary Keim for his ability to track down and fix bugs, and his deep dedication to the users of ATK. Thanks to Susan Straub and her superb work as point-person for the group. Thanks to our part-timers: Rob Ryan and Stephan Greene for their work. Thanks to David Anderson, Bob Glickstein, Fred Hansen, John Howard, Dave Mattis, Mike McInerny, Andy Palay, Adam Stoller, and the other ITCers outside of the ATK group who have made their contributions to ATK over the last 15 months. Thanks to ex-ITCers Craig Everhart and Nathanial Borenstein for their continued work on AMS.Thanks also to those others offsite who have 'aided and abbetted' this work, including Bill Janssen, Dick Orgass, Andy Arhelger, Bob Oesterlin, the patch 10 contributers listed above, and all those who contribute to this newsgroup. Thanks to your work ATK is a viable working system at many sites around the world.} Tom Neuendorffer ____________________________________________________________ Your bug reports are welcome; send them to info-andrew-bugs@andrew.cmu.edu and we will periodically post a status report to info-andrew. --David Anderson, ATK manager Information Technology Center Carnegie Mellon University +1 412-268-5791 // 412-268-6787 (fax) **: A note from Gary & Susan: As we've been waiting for the OK on this released for some time, David Anderson has both had a bouncing baby daughter and closed on his house.

Thanks > in advance. -- Nathaniel If u have nroff available, u should find "col" around as well. col is designed (I gather) to buffer nroff output and stop printers from jumping off the table as they attempt reverse line-feed and such 4th, but its -b option should get rid of your back-spacing problem. Incidentally, I assume you really mean that your output is of the form "_^Hchar_^Hchar" rather than "char^H_char^H_" (at least I hope it is) .... col's -b option effectively overwrites all back-space sequences with the last character of the sequence, so if you're really getting the underscore last in the sequence, this won't work.

Eventually, I added in a "?E=" (for things dependent on environment variables) because the predefined things like machine type & name were just not enough. I'm not sure you want to enumerate all the desired possibilities, either. Instead, one possibility is a more general mechanism in which a command is executed and its exit status determines whether or not the preference should be read. For example: ?X=/u/nsb/bin/iscolor: some-preference would execute the /u/nsb/bin/iscolor program and have some-preference take effect only if it returns a non-zero value. You might also want to hardwire some of the more common ones, like the ones Mike mentions, but there will be a never-ending stream of them. However, this is (obviously) not very efficient. But why do we need any changes at all? You can do the "right thing" today, with no code changes, if you really want. Add the code to .xinitrc that checks whatever you want and sets an environment variable, e.g. if (big-hairy-test) then setenv ISCOLOR 1 else setenv ISCOLOR 0 endif and then have preferences of the form ?E=ISCOLOR=1: whatever I believe that this approach will work for you today, without going any further down the slippery slope of hard-wired preference options.... -- Nathaniel \enddata{text,2532856} \enddata{text822, 401075} \begindata{text822, 404867} Return-path: X-Andrew-Authenticated-as: 0;andrew.cmu.edu;Network-Mail Received: from andrew.cmu.edu via trymail for info-andrew+@andrew.cmu.edu (->+dist+/afs/andrew.cmu.edu/usr0/ak99/dists/info-andrew-nostrip.dl) ID ; Mon, 24 Jun 91 14:54:43 -0400 (EDT) Received: from po3.andrew.cmu.edu via qmail ID ; Mon, 24 Jun 91 14:53:29 -0400 (EDT) Received: from sun2.nsfnet-relay.ac.uk by po3.andrew.cmu.edu (5.54/3.15) id for info-andrew; Mon, 24 Jun 91 14:53:05 EDT Received: from doc.imperial.ac.uk by sun2.nsfnet-relay.ac.uk via JANET with NIFTP id <20803-0@sun2.nsfnet-relay.ac.uk>; Mon, 24 Jun 1991 18:39:21 +0100 Received: from Messages.7.14.N.CUILIB.3.45.SNAP.NOT.LINKED.swan.doc.ic.ac.uk.sun4.40 via MS.5.6.swan.doc.ic.ac.uk.sun4_40; Mon, 24 Jun 1991 17:38:13 +0000 (GMT) Message-Id: Date: Mon, 24 Jun 1991 17:38:13 +0000 (GMT) From: N J Williams X-Andrew-Message-Size: 2092+0 Content-Type: X-BE2; 12 If-Type-Unsupported: send To: info-andrew@andrew.cmu.edu Subject: compiling patch10 on sun4, sunos4.1.1 Sender: njw@doc.imperial.ac.uk \begindata{text,2125224} \textdsversion{12} \template{messages} Well, here we go.

From the top-level README: \subsection{1.2.7 Notes on Installation on a MIPS system} The MIPS compiler tools have a notion of a global area into which small data items are allocated. This allows the compiler to generate small-offset addresses for these items, which gives better performance. By default, any item eight (8) bytes or smaller gets allocated into this area. Unfortunately, the global area mechanism clashes horribly with the way dynamic loading works. The problem is that the global area is fixed in size at link time and cannot be expanded at run time. Therefore if a dynamic object (.do file) contains any data that must go in the global area, the object cannot be loaded. In order to get around this problem, all code that goes into .do files must be compiled with the "-G 0" switch. For source code shipped in the Andrew distribution, this is not really a problem, since we just compile everything -G 0. However, one must also provide -G 0 versions of certain system libraries as well. In particular, the following libraries are needed in -G 0 form: libc.a libm.a libX11.a All of the AFS libraries, if AFS_ENV is set. On some systems, these libraries will be available in the same place as their -G 8 couterparts, but with _G0 appended to their names (e.g. libc_G0.a instead of libc.a). On other systems, one must compile these libraries from source. Once the appropriate libraries are collected, they must be made known to the build process. At present, this is done in a somewhat ad-hoc fashion. There is a make variable MIPSLIBC_G0 which should be set in config/site.mcr to the path of one's -G 0 libc.a, sans the trailing ".a". For example: MIPSLIBC_G0 = /usr/andrew/lib/mips_G0/libc This macro is used in overhead/class/machdep/dec_mips/Imakefile . The rest of the libraries must be placed in a directory that will be searched by the makedo shell script. By default, this directory is $(BASEDIR)/lib/mips_G0/ . This can be changed by editing the path following the -L on the following line in overhead/class/machdep/dec_mips/makedo.csh: ld -L$\{libdir\}/mips_G0 -r -o $\{outfile:r\}.dog $filelist $\{libdir\}/libcx.a | egrep "ld:" If a dynamic object contains some non -G 0 code, makedo will print an error message and exit, thereby stopping the build. -end- Furthermore, there use to be a collection of some important G0 libraries in the ftp directory, but they seem to have gone away. I'll investigate where and why?

I think that the first block can be removed. John, can you do this and see if things roll? or, you could define WHITEPAGES_ENV (of course). Gary Keim ATK Group Upon further reflection, it does appear that that it is necessary to define WHITEPAGES_ENV if you also define AFS_ENV. From the \italic{white-pages} help file: \section{What Uses the White Pages }\leftindent{ Applications that make use of the WP are called ``clients''. Some WP clients that you probably use include the Andrew Message System ( \italic{AMS }), the Andrew File System ( \italic{\bold{AFS} }), and the \italic{ls } , \italic{login }, and \italic{finger } programs. You can also write programs of your own that use either the site WP or some other WP that you create. } It could very well be that this is a \bold{bold-face lie}, but I was looking through some code in overhead/util/lib that had quite a bit of mixing of AFS and WP calls.

Certainly it says that AFS_ENV implies WHITEPAGES_ENV in the file Gary quotes. It is an oversight that this implication isn't in the README file. I suppose, though, that if you wanted to turn off AMS_ENV entirely, you wouldn't need WHITEPAGES_ENV, even if AFS_ENV were defined. We never designed for AFS_ENV being defined without WHITEPAGES_ENV also being defined. I expect that if you try to build the world this way, you'll encounter link errors, and if you solve them, you may encounter run-time errors. Why not build with WHITEPAGES_ENV on? It's simple enough.

Help! }\description{2. Invoking spell under ez gives a core dump. I don't have a debugging version built yet, so I can't give more info. We have ispell installed (/usr/local/bin/ispell). No message is printed. It just dies. The same thing happened with the compile object. I rebuilt all the objects in 'atk/extensions' with debugging, reinstalled the objects and both compile and spell work fine.... They just break when built without debugging. 3. Requesting the function \bold{compchar-compose} returns "Could not load procedure" This happens whether compchar is built with debugging or not. Don't know how to fix this. 4. When built with the definition to use the standard ISO fonts as opposed to the andrew supplied fonts, the icons (for example as used by messages) are not available. After manually invoking 'mkfontdir' on the X11fonts directory, this was fixed. 5.

"/usr/lib/libdl.so.1.0" is, indeed, a placeholder to keep "ld" happy. The run-time loader checks, quite specifically, for a shared library with the name "/usr/lib/libdl.so.1.0" (yes, it really does a "strcmp" on the name of the library and that string) and, if that's the library being loaded, uses the symbols from the run-time loader itself as the symbols for that library, rather than the symbols from that library. The routines in that library just print out "stub interception failed" complaints. This also means that you must *not* use a "-L//usr/lib" line (as gets generated for some Makefiles if you've said the X libraries are in "/usr/lib") when linking "runapp", for example. Yes, the above is the wrong way to handle "-ldl"; I don't know if SVR4 does it the same way or not. \enddata{text822, 493514} \begindata{text822, 495913} Return-path: X-Andrew-Authenticated-as: 0;andrew.cmu.edu;Network-Mail Received: from po5.andrew.cmu.edu via trymail for info-andrew+@andrew.cmu.edu (->+dist+/afs/andrew.cmu.edu/usr0/ak99/dists/info-andrew-nostrip.dl) ID ; Sat, 29 Jun 91 05:57:10 -0400 (EDT) Received: from po2.andrew.cmu.edu via qmail ID ; Sat, 29 Jun 91 05:55:02 -0400 (EDT) Received: from ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU by po2.andrew.cmu.edu (5.54/3.15) id for info-andrew; Sat, 29 Jun 91 05:54:44 EDT Received: by ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU (5.63/1.42) id AA04418; Sat, 29 Jun 91 02:45:56 -0700 Received: from USENET by ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU with netnews for info-andrew@andrew.cmu.edu (info-andrew@andrew.cmu.edu) (contact usenet@ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU if you have questions) Date: 29 Jun 91 06:30:23 GMT From: mojo.eng.umd.edu!cross@mimsy.umd.edu (Chris P.

It used the Nameservice stuff in our libc. } If you define RESOLVER_ENV on SunOS4.x plaforms, and you set RESOLVLIB to nil, you still end up using the resolver. It may not have been necessary to do this but, we create our own shared resolver library and install it in $\{BASEDIR\}/lib. With dynamic loading, we can't have multiple copies of the resolver getting into a single process (runapp). Using the shared library informs the run-time linker that the resolver is needed, and it is then up to ld.so to do things right. If you look in andrew/atk/apps/Imakefile you'll see that we link against -lresolv to get the shared resolver for the SunOS4.x platform. There are a few other places that link against the shared resolver, as well. Unfortunately, we also link regular programs with the non-shared resolver. I think that you want to #undef RESOLVER_ENV in site.h and rebuild for the Sun4. If the Sun3 you referred to is not a SunOS4.x box, that explains why the current configuration works on that machine-- no native dynamic loader, or shared resolver, getting in the way.

The pertinent stuff: SunOS 4.1.1 SPARCstation IPC X11R4 server (Xsun) on a color (cgtree) monitor There are several problems. First, with compiling: When compiling tabs.do, the doindex command fails with the message doindex: indexing tabs.do ...ld.so: map heap error (9) for /dev/zero It is interesting that I can run doindex on all the individual .do files and I get no errors. I have the same trouble with the console tool: /local/andrew/bin/doindex -d /local/andrew/dlib/atk consolea.do doindex: indexing consolea.do ...ld.so: map heap error (9) for /dev/zero So I go without the console and I try some of the tools. The first problem I notice is that when I try to use a menu, the cursor (the -> cursor) is wrong. It is displayed as a white box with a transparent arrow. It seems that the X cursor mask bits are reversed. Last problem (for today): typescript doesn't work. It didn't work before patch 10, but patch 10 at work (4.1 on a SPARCstation 1) does work.
