Notes on AUIS 6.3a2 on free Net2/386 derived UNIX's

		 NetBSD-0.9, NetBSD-current, FreeBSD



Status:

	FreeBSD-1.1	Not tested, it could work
			Minor OS fixes needed


	NetBSD-0.9	Tested.
			Minor OS fixes needed


	NetBSD-current	Tested.
			Requires a patch to be applied to AUIS-6.3



Preparation:

	o	Bug in /bin/csh

		Found in: NetBSD-0.9
		Fixed in: NetBSD-current(I hope) FreeBSD-1.1

		Free's memory area's when it shouldn't. A patch is
		below

		bash$ diff -c src/bin/csh/dir.c.dist src/bin/csh/dir.c

	o	Bug in /usr/bin/make

		Found in: NetBSD-0.9 and FreeBSD-1.1
		Fixed in: NetBSD-current

		An action with null arguments vis:

			command ""

		Looses the null arguments.  eg:

			/usr/andrew/bin/cregister /usr/andrew "app.do" "app.o" ""
			usage: cregister ANDREWDIR class.do \"objs\" \"libs\"

		You can either use GNU make or try to apply the patch


		To get arround this problem you can either install
		and use gnu-make or try to apply the patch below.
		(The patch came from NetBSD-current).

NetBSD-current:

	To build AUIS-6.3 on NetBSD-current additional changes to
	the AUIS source tree are required.  These changes were
	found to late for consideration to be integrated into
	AUIS-6.3 so instead an additional patch file is included:

		ossupport/i386_bsd/NetBSD-current.diffs

	is included.

		$ cd auis-6.3
		$ patch -p -s < ossupport/i386_bsd/NetBSD-current.diffs

	These patches address problems described below.  AUIS 7.1, as
	a consequence of being rewritten in C++ expects to address them
	properly.


	o	AUIS assumes:
			extern char *sys_errlist[].
		While NetBSD-current declares:
			extern const char *const sys_errlist[].

		The patch changes this to be:
			SYS_ERRLIST_TYPE sys_errlist[];


	o	AUIS assumes off_t is 32bits.  While NetBSD-current
		now has it set to 64bits. (see ftruncate(2))

		The patch changes those files so that they include
		<unistd.h> and hence make a prototype for ftruncate()
		visable.



What should be used in #ifdef's?

	Before looking to change conditional code check the table below:

	     Symbol	i386(2) __386BSD__ __NetBSD__ __FreeBSD__ bsdi(1)
	bsdi    	  y                   		            y
	386BSD-0.1	  y 	    y
	NetBSD-0.9	  y 	    y	       y
	NetBSD-current	  y 	               y
	FreeBSD-1.1	  y 	    y		           y

	(1) The C/C++ standard police would argue that __bsdi__ should
	    be used.  Too late..

	(2) Last time I looked NetBSD-current (at least) didn't define
	    __i386__.  People will be having words with that group :-)

	Given this table was completed after the code was frozen,
	your going to notice some sillyness in come of the #ifdef's.
