[TUHS] A patch for compiling vtserver under linux ...

[asbesto]

Compiling vtserver gave me an error:

asbesto at gemini ~/pdp11/vtserver $ cc vtserver.c -o vtserver

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
asbesto at gemini ~/pdp11/vtserver $ 

This due to the way errno is now used; errno.h has to be 
included. 

Here's a patch to compile vtserver 2.3a-20010404 under linux:

maybe this can be included in ftp://minnie.tuhs.org/pub/PDP-11/Vtserver
and maybe the version of vtserver has to be changed :)

p.s. i'm not so good in C, i quit programming many years ago, i
hope this can work ok  :)))))

hope all this can help.

Thanks Asbesto and also congratulations on getting your system to
boot.  Fred van Kempen has taken over maintenance of vtserver, but
I don't have a working e-mail address for him. Does anybody know
how to contact him?

Thanks,
	Warren

I'm surprised the patch is even necessary.  vtserver builds on my
redhad development environment unchanged...
