- P L E AAAAAAA S E
- P L E A A S S E

- 1. READ THIS DIATRIBE
- 2. TALK TO US IN DETAIL BEFORE EMBARKING ON EPIC HACK-A_THONS
- 3. USE CONTEXT DIFFS WHEN COMMUNICATING CHANGES
- 4. UPDATE THE DOC TOO!
- 5. FOLLOW THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD AND HAVE FUN!!!
- Generally, you'll HAVE to have (or construct a replacement for)
- 1. nap() or -DUSE_SELECT if you have a working select()
- 2. ftime() or -DUSE_GETTIMEOFDAY if you have gettimeofday()
- 3. SVR3 termio or -DUSE_TERMIOS if you have POSIX/SVR4 termios
- 4. termcap- or terminfo-based curses (ecu_curses.h and
- Make.src/Makefile LDLIBS hackery)
- 5. HDB ASCII-style lock file conventions or -DUSE_DECIMAL_PIDS
- if int-sized values are to be used.
- Configure, config.c and Make.src conspire to pass these
- configuration #defines to ECU:
- #define identifier defined if
- --------------------- ----------------------------------------------
- CFG_BinaryUucpPids UUCP lock files have int pids not ASCII
- CFG_FionrdRdchk If you lack rdchk() but have ioctl(FIONREAD)
- CFG_GettodFtime If you lack ftime() but have gettimeofday()
- CFG_MmapSHM If you lack SYSV shm, but have mmap()
- CFG_SelectNap If you lack nap() but have select()
- CFG_TermiosLineio If you lack termio but have POSIX termios
- CFG_UngettyChown If want ecuungetty to manage tty ownership
- CFG_UseUngetty If you want and have ported ecuungetty
- CFG_ScreenLinesMax maximum number of screen rows (config.c default=50)
- CFG_ScreenColsMax maximum number of screen columns (config.c default=80)
- CFG_SemWithShm DO NOT TURN THIS ON
- There are more (this list is incomplete).
- There are other dragons not so easily compartmentalised. Study config.c.
- Again,
- PPPPPP L EEEEEEE A SSSSS EEEEEEE
