Is this a timing problem in cygwin.dll (the install script spits out a = lot of shells)? Any workarounds? Regards Karl ---------- From: Zachary S. Bedell Sent: Sonntag, 15. Dezember 1996 09:30 To: gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com Subject: What libs are these functions in? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hello!=20 I'm attempting to port the Tiny Fugue MU* client using gnu-win32 and = after=20 an hour or so of messing with the configure script have hit a few brick = walls. The script says it's unable to find a number of functions and that I = should=20 worry about it, but I tend to think that I need these functions... If=20 anyone could tell me what library I should include to get these = functions,=20 I'd be very grateful! connect gethostbyname h_errno hsterror srandom strcmpi stricmp Also, this program would prefer to use the termcap libraries. Are these = ported completely anywhere or should I just tell the thing to use = hardcoded=20 ANSI or VT100? Finally, as the program is compiling tty.c which is responible for the = low=20 level screen calls, it bombs on TCSETAF being undefined. =20 The code looks like: #ifdef USE_TERMIO /* with a few macros, this looks just like=20 USE_TERMIOS */ # ifdef hpux /* hpux's termio is=20 different. */ # undef USE_TERMIO # define USE_HPUX_TERMIO # include < # include < # include < # else # define USE_TERMIOS # include < # endif # define tty_struct struct termio # define insetattr(buf) (ioctl(0, TCSETAF, (buf))) # define ingetattr(buf) (ioctl(0, TCGETA, (buf))) # define insetattr_error "TCSETAF ioctl" # define ingetattr_error "TCGETA ioctl" #endif I'm relatively certain that these are some part of the tty specific=20 routines. The last time I tried this (back on b14) I just set them as=20 SOMETHING. It didn't work very well... Does anyone know what .h file = would=20 have this in it or what it should be defined as?
