If a machine is not known, abort.
- Emulate "mkdir -p" for Old "mkdir" programs on some host OS's.
- Add "-a" option to provide MACHINE_ARCH explicitly (for MACHINEs
that are capable of having more than one MACHINE_ARCH, such as sh3
and sparc64)
- Where "getopts" is not available in the shell, try using "getopt".
It's not whitespace compatible, but works in most cases.
- Rename "bmake" to "nbmake" per suggestions.
- When building nbmake, create a temporary directory for the purpose
of holding host compiler objects that might be created in the cwd.
Delete this directory if aborted via sh's "trap".
- Create a wrapper script in $TOOLDIR/bin called "nbmake-$MACHINE",
which can be run by hand for building parts of a cross tree easily.
Use this script when finally starting the build.
for broken builds is to fix the relevant Makefiles as was done for sparc.
This was done in the interest of simplicity of the system build (and the
fact that there may be a need to descend into these directories in the
near future).
If we get a completion status of RQCS_QUEUE_FULL, it means
that the internal queues are full. Other QLogic boards set
the QFULL SCSI status. But *nooooooooooo*, not the 2300.
but lacks the podulebus completely; this might be a good starting point for
small memory machines.
Most stuff is disabled but commenting it for easy adding.
csh: Permission denied
csh: Trying to start from "/var/log"
message.
This was caused by the
su -m uucp -c "uustat -a"
line being executed in a directory not readable by uucp. The login
shell implied by -m is of course root's shell, /bin/csh, which doesn't
like not being able to read the dir it is in, and thus the errors. By
temporarily cd'ing to /tmp the problem is fixed.
What is really needed, of course, is a way to tell su what shell you
want to use explicitly, especially for use in scripts where the
vagaries of which shell the login executing the script uses should not
be depended on. No such method exists. One should be added.
Indeed, it might also be nice to have a way of telling su to directly
execute a command with -c rather than using a shell to interpret the
command.
I cannot find any standards documents that specify su at the moment,
though. SuSv2 is silent on su(8).
