Hello! This might be something strange, but nevertheless nice to look into.
After building a rather recent version of Minix we get : # uname -a Minix minix 3.4.0 Minix 3.4.0 (GENERIC) i386 # cc --version clang version 3.6 (branches/release_36 237755) Target: i386-elf32-minix Thread model: posix This compiler is indeed a little old and Minix 3.4.0 is a version that has not been released (yet?). Then some walking in circles because most of the library dependencies need to be built by hand: # /usr/opt/sn/bin/openssl version OpenSSL 3.0.0 7 sep 2021 (Library: OpenSSL 3.0.0 7 sep 2021) Note, that I was unable to run the test suite of OpenSSL 3, because it was not compilable at all. After some more dependencies, this was the curl config command line : minix# ./configure --prefix=/usr/opt/sn/ --with-nghttp2=/usr/opt/sn/ \ --with-ca-bundle=/etc/ssl/cacert.pem --with-zlib=/usr/opt/sn/ \ --with-openssl=/usr/opt/sn/ --with-libidn2=/usr/opt/sn/ \ --enable-gopher --disable-silent-rules --disable-pthreads \ --disable-threaded-resolver --enable-shared 2>&1 | tee \ ../curl-7.80.0.config.003.log Note that I hand-edited the configure script inspired by : https://git.minix3.org/index.cgi?p=pkgsrc-ng.git;a=blob;f=www/curl/patches/patch-zz-minix-a;h=ae4197f5aea409ffd7db2474edf2e70f6f8e95f9;hb=refs/heads/3.4.0 Otherwise, it would generate static libraries only. (See links for patch underneath) Compilation and installation went fine, a simple smoke test succeeded as well.

I don't know what the return code 28 is, but I suspect it is a timeout since it takes quite some time for each of these to fail and leave a zombie process behind.

Please tell me if you need more information. Note that debugging things on Minix with gdb is to my understanding not possible, because bfd doesn't have any support for it. I haven't looked at lldb yet, though I do not expect it to be very pleasant either. Hints on where to start are appreciated :-) Regards, Nico aka. herrhotzenplotz -- Sent from triton / FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE Nico Sonack <nson...@outlook.com> -- Unsubscribe: https://lists.haxx.se/listinfo/curl-library Etiquette: https://curl.haxx.se/mail/etiquette.html
