After banging my head against the wall for a few months, I finally
figured out why I couldn't get error message lookups with com_err to
work on MacAthena.
I'd like to commit the necessary patches to the Athena svn repo where
that's the canonical source. From looking at the repo, that would be
delete, discuss, libgms, and get_message (I'm not going to bother with
zephyr, since it's still krb4, and I'll probably submit a patch to
moiradev later).
The necessary patches are fairly straightforward - here's an example:
Index: athena/bin/delete/delete.c

initialize_del_error_table();
+#else
+ add_error_table(&et_del_error_table);
+#endif
#ifdef HAVE_AFS
gettimeofday(&tvp[0], (struct timezone *)0);
This shouldn't affect the behavior of anything on other Unices, but I
wanted to check before committing platform-specific code like that for a
platform that isn't supported.
So, any objections? I'll probably make the necessary commits sometime
this week if I don't hear otherwise.
