followup to problem report 17

followup to problem report 17

[John A. Turner]

I recently submitted problem report 17 via gnats.

There doesn't seem to be a way to add followup info via gnats, so I'm
doing so here.

I worked around the failure orig reported by fixing the filenames
defined in gdb/Makefile variable NATDEPFILES to use dashes rather than
underscores, i.e. changed line 309 from:

	proc_api.o proc_events.o proc_flags.o proc_why.o
to:
	proc-api.o proc-events.o proc-flags.o proc-why.o

the build then fails with:

gcc -c -g -O2 -W -Wall    -I. -I. -I./config -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I./../include/opcode -I./../readline/.. -I../bfd -I./../bfd  -I./../include -I../intl -I./../intl -I./tui -DGDBTK   proc-api.c
proc-api.c:39: sys/user.h: No such file or directory
gmake[1]: *** [proc-api.o] Error 1

I can't find a user.h anywhere, so I'm calling it quits for the time
being. 

Thanks in advance for any advice anyone might have...

What platform are you building on?

Do you have the full complement of files in /usr/include?

sorry, that info was entered in the gnats report I referred to, 17, so
I didn't include it again in my mail msg

is the gnats database used, or should I just bypass that and send prob
reports directly to the list?

anyway, it's Irix 6.5.6m, Insight version 20000126

as far as I know - haven't had other problems with SGI's compiler,
which is version 7.3.1.1m, but I'm using gcc 2.95.2 to build Insight

there's definitely no /usr/include/sys/user.h, though

To the best of my knowledge, the gnats database is used.  (OTOH, I
know very little about this database, so I could be wrong.) Anyway,
the reports sent to it don't show up in my mailbox, so I didn't even
know that you'd submitted a bug report.

Presumably, other developers watch this database?  (This latter
question directed at other developers, not at John.)

I know very little about Irix, but on one of our Irix 6.3 machines,
I see the following:

bash$ ls -l /usr/include/sys/user.h
-r--r--r--    1 root     wheel      11728 Aug  5  1997 /usr/include/sys/user.h

except that (and I'm really not trying to be a jerk...) my msg to the
list started:

interesting... and I should have looked around on our other Irix
machines, since we do have several flavors at the moment

yep, looks like it was there in 6.2 and 6.3, but disappeared in 6.4
and later, since it's not on any of our 6.4 or 6.5 machines - I don't
know enough about this to suggest a fix, unfortunately
