Hello,
I've installed PCLU for Linux/ELF (thanks to Dorothy Curtis
for making it available!)
To use it, just add PCLU or 6.035 then use PCLU.
(If you have a RedHat Linux/ELF system, your @sys value MUST be i386_linux2.
You can check with "fs sysname").
Old a.out systems (with `fs sysname` == "i386_linux1") will still get
the old version of PCLU so as not to break them. New ELF machines
(with `fs sysname` == "i386_linux2") will get the new version (which
is still alpha or beta until it gets fully tested).
It seems to work on old a.out machines, old mixed a.out/elf
machines (which use the old version), and on new RedHat 3.0.3
machines.
To support this file /mit/6.035/arch/i386_linux[12]/bin/PCLU got
removed and replaced with a symlink to
/afs/sipb.mit.edu/project/linux/lockers/PCLU/bin/PCLU (which is in
turn a symlink to the a.out or ELF version depending on the @sys
value). In addition, /mit/6.035/arch/i386_linux[12]/bin/clucc
has been replaced with a symlink to:
/afs/sipb.mit.edu/project/linux/lockers/6.035/bin/clucc
/mit/6.035/arch/i386_linux2 should probably become a directory
rather than a symlink, containing ELF versions of things.
After people have a chance to test this and verify that it
works, I'll send out email.
Send bug reports about how PCLU is installed to linux-dev@mit.edu.
Cc: reports of bugs in PCLU (but not bugs about how it's installed) to
dcurtis@lcs.mit.edu.
