I joined this list mainly for the purpose of asking that question (a couple of weeks ago) and haven't had any response. Just for anyone who might hear of such a thing: there are at least 2 of us who want to know. (I have a mixed bunch of source: the latest (AFAIK) gtak release, and the various support files, like tape stuff, from an ancient 16-bit version. I have no plans to do a conversion or anything, having avoided all knowledge of the accursed x86 architecture since about 1983. OTOH if anyone could just get the object code for the stuff that's not in the gtak source release, one could have a lot of fun making necessary fixes to the part that has source available.) -- Dan Drake dd at dandrake.com http://www.dandrake.com/ **= Email 6 ==========================** Date: Fri, 31 May 2002 13:09:20 +0000 From: "Lyn St George" Subject: Re: Perl v5.8.0 On Fri, 31 May 2002 09:54:52 +0100, John Poltorak wrote: > >I managed to build Perl v5.8.0 from this snapshot:- > > >http://www.iki.fi/jhi/perl at 16866.tgz > >It didn't need any patching or anything else, just compiled straight out >of the box using:- > >sh Configure -Dusedevel -des -D prefix=c:/usr/lib/perl > >where sh.exe is from PDKSH. > >I'd like to know if anyone else has any success building it... The previous one, perl at 16816.tgz, died a horrible death. Trying this one, I've just run into this problem again: "f:/usr/bin/sh.exe: ./try: Not enough memory The program compiled OK, but exited with status 1. You have a problem. Shall I abort Configure [y] Ok. Stopping Configure." The machine currently has 28Mb freed up (after stopping Apache and perl) and it appears to be filehandles rather than memory causing this problem. Config.sys has: SET emxopt=-c -n -h6072 -!0x800 threads=3047 The only cure I currently know is to reboot, which is stupid.

Try using this to log the results:- Configure -Dusedevel -des -D prefix=c:/usr/lib/perl 2>&1 | tee configure.log > The machine currently has 28Mb freed up (after stopping > Apache and perl) and it appears to be filehandles > rather than memory causing this problem. > Config.sys has: > SET emxopt=-c -n -h6072 -!0x800 > threads=3047 > > The only cure I currently know is to reboot, which is stupid. > Is there anything else I can do to cure this?

Checkini and cleanini are both on Hobbes and work well. Perhaps just resetting the WPS would fix Lynns problem.

I've been wanting an update to GTAK for quite a while, as have a number of other people, but the supplied source has bits missing, although I heard that there was a very old version which was buildable. I've never come across such a version myself, but if it does exist, it may be somewhere to start... > -- > Dan Drake > dd at dandrake.com > http://www.dandrake.com/ -- John
