yes, it was committed in ASCII mode, so it is corrupt, I have corrected
it to be in binary mode, but did not commit a working file as I only
have a prerelease and I don't know how if at all it differs from the
intended suppl.tgz
You will also notice that there is reference to a file (regardless of if
the build option that enables it is choosen or not) that fails because
it was not committed to cvs either.
These are both known issues with FreeCom cvs sources.
Maybe a stupid question, but did you un-gzip it first, or does untar do
that automatically?
have a look at:
http://fdos.org/AutoIndex/index?dir=kernel/
and select a file (preferably the correct one)
Obviously I must have checked out FreeCOM from the stable tree as
freecom.HEAD.zip had everything I needed to build it. Thanks.
To the best of my knowledge, there is not a stable tree, only HEAD and
three major branches; of the three, one is documented as merged and
obsolete. I can not tell (haven't followed its development closely
enough) about the status of the other two branches other than they seem
merged as well???
The zip file you reference is the same sources you checked out with a
prerelease suppl library and the applied patches documented within; but
is probably the best one to proceed with.
