Hi, I cross-compiled glibc and the Hurd and installed them over Marcus' freeX Hurd distribution. Strange behaviour results:
1. gnumach from CVS can't do color display (that's okay, but I'd like to know how the freeX gnumach.gz was generated!). 2. passwords are displayed on screen; every command is also echoed after being submitted. 3. commands can be used as usual (e.g. ls works etc...), but as soon as non-dumb screen capabilities are needed (including pipes!), I get the following error message: bash [36: 1] tcsetattr: (ipc/mig) server type check failure The error is not only from bash, but from other programs as well, e.g. vi: ex/vi: Error: tcsetattr: (ipc/mig) server type check failure Every time this error occurs, the program is stopped by bash and resuming it with 'fg' results in the same error again. I tried to set TERM from mach-color to dumb, but the error remains. What's going on? P.S.: I'm running the Hurd on a ufs (FreeBSD ffs) partition mounted with ufs.static.
