Hi all,

I noticed that you cannot use a pipe in a select() statement.

Is this an error or a limitation?

The code in postgreSQL allocates a couple of pipes for stats data
collection and then attemtpts to use the pipe handle in select(). This
returns a -1 error with a message of "invalid parameter". 

I adapted the win32 work around for the equivalent problem to OS/2 to 
avoid the error. The work around consists of allocating a couple of
sockets to 127.0.0.1 to act as pipes.

Subject:   CC1.EXE & SYS3176

Has anyone come across a SYS3176 before?


I got a couple of them earlier with a popup which said:-

A program executed an illegal instruction at 000ce116
CC1.EXE 0001:000be116

I don't currently have the POPUPLOG.OS2 info at hand.

This is CC1.EXE from EMX/GCC 2.8.1.

Could this be hardware related? I've been re-assembling an old machine 
which made be showing signs of ageing. It's also a MCA/PCI hybrid which is 
bound to trip up a few programs at some point.

That's an illegal instruction right?

Could be spotty RAM that is causing the problem or the
compiler is actually using an instruction the CPU does not support

Sure I've got a bunch in popup.log, all related to imake trying to fork when built with 
innoteks libc. Also those sigils are also an illegal instruction.

Most likely is hardware related. Try reseating everything and running memtest or 
perhaps ramtest.zip that someone uploaded to Hobbes incoming just for you <gr>

Hi,
I have a look around for a good guide for installing GCC and related
tools - there seem to be a few. Can someone suggest which is the most
'correct' and useful?
Thanks,
Jeremy Harbinson =20

You could try running UX2BS which provides you with a full build system.

It's currently based on EMX/GCC v2.8.1 but is pretty useful and does allow 
you to build quite a lot of apps.

There is no support for gcc 3.3.5 just yet but that is being worked on and 
may become available if/when Perl is buildable with it.

You can find more details about UX2BS by subscribing to the UX2BS mailing 
list:-

http://os2ports.com/mailman/listinfo/ux2bs 

If you are particulary adventurous and have a spare drive with around 1GB 
of free spaces you could build and install the whole thing by running this 
command:-

wget ftp://unixos2: at 213.152.37.92/pub/unixos2/build_system/lib/ux2_bootstrap.cmd

and then running ux2_bootstrap.

I ran RAMTEST but everything checked OK.

I've also just got a system trap:-

Exception in device driver:
TRAP 000e

It doesn't mention which device driver which is strange. Was it a 
particular kernel which started providing more useful information?
I'm currently using Int. rev. 14.062_W4 on the machine having problems.
