Has anyone built kerberos on a sequent symmetry running Dynix? If so
how? I have tried with the the file bones.tar.Z from MIT but it fails
for a number of reasons which are all to do with Dynix and Sequent.
The Sequent make command fails for no apparent reason. The imake program
is run about 15 times at the start of the build but on just one occassion
it fails. When that breaks down I can type the command by hand and it works!
The ultrix version works fine needless to say. The sequent C compiler fails to
compile if the output file spcified on the command line has the same
name as the default. eg
cc -c try.c
works but
cc -c try.c -o try.o
fails even though the output file it would have written would have been
called try.o. This must be the stupidest error I have ever seen. Perhaps
not come to think of it perhaps it is the error which Sequent's make emits
sometimes. GNU C deals with this correctly and all the other compilers on
other hardware deals with the -o option properly.
Anyway the point is that there are hundreds of these make files and Imake
files in kerberos so if someone else has sorted them out I would be grateful.
The alternative is to junk sequent's make and sequent's C compiler and use
the GNU ones because I am sure they will work but for various reasons I
can't do that yet.
Anyone got any other ideas apart from junking the Sequent. We are doing
that as soon as we have the money to buy DECs or Suns:-)
If anyone can help could you send mail to

Thanks.....
