I just tried to build sh-utils 2.0 and 2.0f on a DECstation 5000 running
Ultrix V4.3 and ran into a couple of problems:
* lib/readutmp.c didn't compile since <sys/types.h> needs to be included
before <sys/stat.h> for various type definitions. This is included in
the patch below.
* With this fix, pinky and who failed to link with strdup undefined. It's
used in lib/canon-host.c, but no replacement is provided if it's
missing. sh-utils 2.0f has a replacement, so the problem is avoided
here.
* sh-utils 2.0f README-alpha should probably use the new bug reporting
address [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of the old [EMAIL PROTECTED]?
* Running 2.0f configure with the native /bin/sh gives a warning:
/bin/sh: �: not found
WARNING: `:' is needed, and you do not seem to have it handy on your
system. You might have modified some files without having the
proper tools for further handling them. Check the `README' file,
it often tells you about the needed prerequirements for installing
this package. You may also peek at any GNU archive site, in case
some other package would contain this missing `:' program.
configure: warning: `missing' script is too old or missing
If I rerun configure with CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/sh5 in the environment, it
works without problems.
* As Bj�rn Fischer has reported before for Digital UNIX V4.0, many date
tests fail if TZ is set to UTC, but pass with :UTC. E.g.,
LANG=C TZ=UTC ../../src/date -d '1997-01-19 08:17:48 +0' +'%c'
yields
Sun Jan 19 09:17:48 1997
while
LANG=C TZ=:UTC ../../src/date -d '1997-01-19 08:17:48 +0' +'%c'
gives the expected
Sun Jan 19 08:17:48 1997
When I made this change to tests/date/Test.pm, running make in a build
directory (i.e. a VPATH build) failed since perl couldn't find that file
in $(srcdir). The patch below to tests/Makefile.am.in fixes this.
* There's one further test failure in seq:
-: test eq-wid-2: stdout mismatch, comparing eq-wid-2.1 and eq-wid-2.O
Running this test (seq -w -.1 .1 .1) manually gives
-0.1
0.0
0.1
instead of the expected
-0.1
00.0
00.1
I haven't investigated further.
Regards.

* tests/Makefile.am.in: Invoke perl with -I$(srcdir) for VPATH
builds.
* tests/date/Test.pm ($Test::env_default): Set TZ to :UTC to avoid
test failures on Compaq Tru64 Unix and Ultrix.
* lib/readutmp.c: Include <sys/types.h>, Ultrix V4.3 <sys/stat.h>
needs it for dev_t.
