Re: Minix support, part 1

[Thomas Cort]

Hello Bruno,

I'm just getting your e-mails now. I haven't read through them
completely yet, but I have some important details to add. Recently, in
the past month or so, Minix has replaced it's C library with a port of
the NetBSD C Library. Many function prototypes and definitions have
changed. A lot of work arounds are no longer needed. The NetBSD based
C Library is available in Minix 3.2.0. Also, the system compiler cc
(ACK) is going to be removed eventually. We are moving towards
clang/gcc (available in our pkgsrc repository). Also note, to get the
right functions and definitions included, you should have CPPFLAGS set
to "-D_NETBSD_SOURCE -D_MINIX -D_POSIX_SOURCE -D_COMPAT_MINIX" and
LDADD set to "-lcompat_minix -lminlib"

I'll go through your e-mails in detail and reply as needed. Thanks for
working on this. It will save us from having to patch the same code in
several packages.
