which error messages?

This might have corrupted your lib files. These two lines are only meant as
templates to replace some files in your archives, that is lib[12], if necessary.
But replacing an object file is necessary only if you changed the corresponding 
source file and recompiled it.

Here are the files supposed to be in lib1:
# ar t lib1
main.o
alloc.o
iget.o
prf.o
rdwri.o
slp.o
subr.o
text.o
trap.o
sig.o
sysent.o
clock.o
fio.o
malloc.o
nami.o
pipe.o
sys1.o
sys2.o
sys3.o
sys4.o

>Undefined:
>_end (defined by ld if successful)
>_edata (same)
>_iinit (from alloc.c)
>_iget (from iget.c)

replace lib1 and lib2 with the original files and it should work!

You might want to consult

for help installing V6.

[pups] V6 kernel compile help

[filter]

Hi All

I need help with the V6 kernel compilation. I read the Unix setup guide
and the
file /usr/sys/run. I've seen one problem so far with the /usr/sys/run
file. That is
that the two lib files (lib1 & lib2) did not contain any symbols.

When I ran:
# ar r ../lib1
and
# ar r ../lib2

I got a string of error messages from ld.

But after I did this:
# ar r ../lib1 *.o
and
# ar r ../lib2 *.o

I have these missing symbols
# ld -x l.o m40.o c.o ../lib1 ../lib2
Undefined:
_end
_edata
_iinit
_iget
_update
_schar
_namei
_maknode
_access
_itrunc
_iput
_alloc
_uchar
_closef
_getf

Can anyone help me with this?
(I saw that MIT athena  has a  V6 repository with a  Makefile in it
But I cannot access it at all. (-_-) )

thanks
