 Note that most archives will unpack to /usr/local, so you need to add directories like /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/sbin to your path if you want to execute them without explicitly specifying the location of the files (ie: instead of make you would have to do /usr/local/bin/make if /usr/local/bin is not in your path). Note that most archives will unpack to /usr/local, so you need to add directories like /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/sbin to your path if you want to execute them without explicitly specifying the location of the files (ie: instead of make you would have to do /usr/local/bin/make if /usr/local/bin is not in your path).

 +
 +gcc 2.95.3 — fails on 2.03, with gcc 2.7.2.3, collect2 has unresolved symbols (forget which, sys_sig.h?)
 +
 +binutils 2.15 — no m68k-cbm-sysv4 target for gas or ld, makes this useless pretty much
 +
 +apache 2.x — compilation failure
 +
 +mysql 4.x — compilation failure
 +
 +lynx 2.8.x — compilation failure, assembler takes a dump
 +

 +
 +GNU readline — nyet (last tested on 2.03, integrated readline on bash 3.0 compiled fine on 2.1)
 +
 +UNIX top 3.5.1 — Can get it to compile, but only displays one process (init), free mem is wrong, and crashes on update.
 +
 +wm2 — Wants ANSI C headers. Man, just ask for the world why dontcha?
 +
 +**IN PROCESS**
 +
 +WindowLab 1.32
 +Add -lnsl and -lsocket to EXTRA_LIBS in Makefile
 +Comment out defines for shape extension in top of Makefile
 +Change XROOT to /usr/X
 +Change snprintf() in menufile.c to use sprintf(), remove "sizeof" parameter (Buffer overflows? What buffer overflows??).
 +Rename windowlab.1x to windowlab, compress with compress and move to /usr/man/1X
 +HOLY SHIT A WINDOW MANAGER COMPILED ON AMIX
 +
 +**CHANGES NEEDED**
 +changes needed for successful compilation on AMIX
 +
 +bash 3.0 Needed to edit some stuff for libintl to compile...will redo this and add the info later
 +
 +GNU tar 1.14 Need to #include stdlib.h in src/xheader.c and src/incremen.c to provide free
 +
 +GNU patch 2.5.4 Edit argmatch.c, change strncasecmp call to strncmp
 +
 +lynx 2.7.2 Add "-DNO_BCOPY" to defines in Makefile for svr4
 +
 +coreutils 5.2.1 Added #define S_ISLNK(m) (((m) & S_IFMT) == S_IFLNK) to lib/fts.c
 +
 +Perl 5.005_4
 +Compiled only standard extensions, shared objects
 +Link gcc-2.7.2.3 cpp to /usr/local/bin/cpp to prevent use of ancient /usr/public/bin/cpp before running Configure
 +Use my own malloc, do not use Perl malloc
 +
 +openssl 1.0.0d
 +perl5 needed for compilation
 +svr4 unsupported, run ./Configure gcc instead of ./config
 +Define NO_STRINGS_H in Makefile CFLAGS
 +edit crypto/o_str.c to change strings.h ifdef to use NO_STRINGS_H
 +include sys/types.h in crypto/bio/bss_bio.c, replace all instances of ssize_t with size_t
 +ifdef NO_STRINGS_H apps/apps.c
 +add -lnsl -lsocket to EX_LIBS in apps/Makefile and in test/Makefile to fix lots of missing symbols
 +
 +prngd 0.9.29
 +Oh dear, one of these where you edit the Makefile and config.h manually, and oh generic sysv4 isn't supported so I have to make my own defines...
 +Defined AMIX, copied SYSLIBS from NCR sysv4 entry
 +AMIX doesn't have ssize_t is has size_t, many files need to be edited (add ifdefs later)
 +AMIX closelog requires ()
 +made AMIX entry in config.h, provided file locations for entropy collection
 +borrowed Solaris 7 prngd.conf file, need to fix it but it will work for now
 +Seems to work, but will dump core if you fail to provide a socket to run on. Provide that socket...
 +
 +openssh 3.9p1
 +Proceeding well, now that I realize ldd expects to find everything in /usr/lib and/or /usr/ccs/lib and cannot be changed (permanently) without a recompile, and gee we don't have the sources for that guy
 +Commented out include of shadow.h in auth.c and auth-shadow.c since it caused redefinition of struct spwd. This allowed compile to continue but I wonder if I'll be able to log in
 +Compilation finished, now recompiling since AMIX doesn't have /dev/random and I need to use prngd for entropy...binaries seem to work otherwise
 +Add #define PRNGD_SOCKET /var/run/egd-pool and #define PRNGD_PORT 708 to ssh-rand-helper.c so ssh actually uses prngd
 +Works now but only root can login...others get setuid error...think I found a fix, add to config.h: #define SETEUID_BREAKS_SETUID 1, #define BROKEN_SETREUID 1, #define BROKEN_SETREGID 1
 +
 +rhapsody 0.25b
 +REQUIRES ncurses from DRASTIC UPGRADES file gallery
 +add #define bzero(b, n) memset(b, '\0', n) to src/defines.h
 +add #define strncasecmp(a, b, c) strncmp(a, b, c) to src/defines.h
 +add #define strcasecmp(a, b) strcmp(a, b) to src/defines.h
 +comment out #include strings.h in: src/screen.c, src/ctcp.c, src/dcc.c, src/main.c, src/config.c, src/comm.c, src/misc.c
 +in main.c change #include <sys/signal.h> to #include "/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/m68k-cbm-sysv4/2.7.2.3/include/sys/signal.h"
 +
 +**WANT-TO-BUILD**
 +
 +ANY modern window manager for X — Please
