okay so i'll give 4.3.1 a try.
I doubt that will make a difference.
according to the first answer i got somebody made an almost 4.3.2
version compile so i thought 4.3.1 might be a good bet.
What you need to figure out is why
the building of the signames.c file failed. The make rules are this
(taken from Makemod.in):
signames.c: signames1.awk signames2.awk ../config.h @SIGNAL_H@
$(AWK) -f $(sdir)/signames1.awk @SIGNAL_H@ >sigtmp.c
$(CPP) sigtmp.c >sigtmp.out
$(AWK) -f $(sdir)/signames2.awk sigtmp.out > $@
rm -f sigtmp.c sigtmp.out
sigcount.h: signames.c
grep 'define.*SIGCOUNT' signames.c > $@
My generated Makemod file has "/usr/include/bits/signum.h" in place of
the @SIGNAL_H@ value. Those awk and cpp commands should generate a file
named signames.c that should have a define for SIGCOUNT in it, e.g.:
#define SIGCOUNT 31
It should also define an array named sigs[], e.g.:
char *sigs[SIGCOUNT+4] = {
"EXIT",
"HUP",
"INT",
[...]
Perhaps your awk didn't work right? Or perhaps the SIGNAL_H file wasn't
chosen correctly?
Once the signames.c file gets built right, then the sigcount.h file
should end up with two lines in it. Mine is this:
#define SIGCOUNT 31
#define sigmsg(sig) ((sig) <= SIGCOUNT ? sig_msg[sig] : "unknown signal")
At that point, the build errors you cited should go away.
okay, thanks so far.
