I've been attempting to make some minor modifications to mined with an eye towards taking on the task of adding large file handling. However, I cannot get mined to recompile successfully using the Minix compiler. Perhaps someone can help me with my problems: 1) When I compile mined, I get many "Unsigned constant expression overflow" warning messages. I cannot tell if these warnings are the source of problem 2). 2) When I execute my newly created mined, I get an unending amount of "Unexpected trap 16h" messages (quoting from memory--you get the idea). The system is hung at this point; I have to hardware reset. Has anyone gotten mined to recompile sucessfully using the Minix compiler? I have a Sperry PC/IT with 640k memory. I have compiled many other programs, including the Minix kernel, successfully. -- Kevin Thomas UUCP: ...!rutgers!dayton!ems!minnow!kjt Unisys Corporation ...!ihnp4!meccts!ems!minnow!kjt Phone: +1 612 635 6042 CSNET: kjt%minnow@Alice.SP.Unisys.Com
