Hi!
I was trying to install an unpatched version of CAP60 (Columbia AppleTalk) on
Solaris 2.5. This comes with 197 patches, and ALL of them have to be applied
inorder for this to work. Support for Solaris 2.x is provided only in patch 196.
Luckily, partially patched distributions are available, so only a few patches
need to be applied.
NOTE: Make sure you use GNU or other patch from the net. Solaris 2.5 comes
with a *broken* version as /usr/bin/patch.
You can get patched Cap60 version though 175 and just apply the remaining
patches. I am told you can make your own modifications to CAP. For instance
you may use shared libraries so the executables are smaller. So after you run a
patch, from the top level directory do:
patch -p < cap60.patch197 then do a
find . -type f -name '*.rej' -print
to find all the files you will need to hand edit.
A version built up to 192 was being made available from ftp.uoregon.edu. But
I believe they have closed down their anonymous ftp service. So, try from
ftp.cs.orst.edu:/localsrc/macintosh/cap60-pl175.tar.Z
ftp.funet.fi:/pub/mac/cap/cap60pl175.tar.Z
I also was getting errors saying "R_OK" undefined. I'm told R_OK is in
unistd.h which should be included if solaris or a System V type OS is
selected. You should get to this point if you patch everything and then try
and configure your system.
You can get more help is comp.protocols.appletalk.
When patch 200 is released there will be a new tar file with all 200
patches applied. This hasn't appeared yet :-(
Thanks to so many people for helping me out, esp. to Roy Rapoport who made
available to me the entire patched distribution, and provided lots of help
and moral support! ;)

Hi!
I'm trying to install Columbia AppleTalk 60 on a Solaris 2.5.
When I tried to "make libsmade", I got the following errors:
cc -O -DNORECVMSG -DNOSENDMSG -DTAB=\"//local/sparc/misc/etc/atalk.local\"
-DCONFIGDIR=\"//local/sparc/misc/etc\" -c atalkdbm.c
"atalkdbm.c", line 282: undefined symbol: R_OK
cc: acomp failed for atalkdbm.c
*** Error code 2
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `atalkdbm.o'
Current working directory /localdisk/src/cap60/lib/cap
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `libsmade'
I went to munnari.oz.au hoping to see if I could find some relevant patches,
but there are SO MANY of them (about 200). How do I figure out what I need? I
do not relish the thought of going through the whole thing manually. I did try
to use Larry Wall's patch (patch -p) to try and apply patch197, but it
failed.
Can anyone help me, please?
Thanks much,
Rasana
PS: I have NO experience with Macs or AppleTalk, but have been asked to
install anyways....
