John,
First off, let me apologize if I sent this to the wrong address. I remember
that you prefer AFS-related mail to one address, but I don't remember which
address that was! :-(
I have a co-worker trying to load the AFS-3.3 client code onto a NetBSD/amiga
machine. When it tries to load, we get a whole bunch of "_spl0 undefined
symbol" messages.
Some further investigation reveals that on some 68k ports, spl0 is a
proper function (the Mac is one). But on other 68k ports like the Amiga
and Sun3, spl0 is #defined to spl() with special arguments.
So it looks like the different m68k architectures aren't completely compatible
on a kernel level. Anyway, so it looks like we'll need to compile the AFS
client code on the Amiga.
I figure that you probably have an easy kit already set up to built the
client code, so I'd be willing to snag that from you. We have the AFS
source here, so that's not an issue. If you want to shove it on the Transarc
Source-contrib area, that would be way cool. But if you would rather build
it yourself on the Amiga system in question, we can arrange that as well.
Please let me know,
--Ken
