I'm pretty new to HURD, so I apologise if I've missed something obvious,
but..
While attempting to build OpenSSH on HURD 0.2, I came across some
'missing' definitions. I got around them by subistituting pretty standard
values, but I'd be interested if someone could tell me what the proper
values are/should be, and if my /include tree is missing some things it
shouldn't be.
Definition Value I used
---------------------------------------------------
MAXHOSTNAMELEN 64
PATH_MAX 1024
MAXPATHLEN PATH_MAX
It's pretty obvious I borrowed the values from GNU/Linux - I have no idea
if the values are supposed to work or not, though :)
On a slightly related note, OpenSSL builds fine for me, configuring for
'linux-elf' and replacing the -DTERMIO cc flag with -DTERMIOS. I was
wondering..is there a list kept somewhere of software that's known to
build/run okay with HURD, and any hints one might need for compilation? I
know it might not be a worthwhile suggestion, but I'm going to suggest it
anyway, in the hope that it might be :) - Considering how little concrete
documentation there is for HURD (or at least, how little there seems to
be), this might be something useful to help newbie HURD hackers get to
grips with the OS. Just a thought :)
If I've posted to the wrong list (or should forward this to additional
lists), again, I apologise :)
Any help/pointers/etc greatfully received.
Mo.
