Hi to all ibcs2 users
I'm using the ibcs2 emulator to run some of our database and LVS tools
oroginally written for INTERACTIVE UNIX. Works fine !
My problem came when I switched to kernel 1.3.x.
It's impossible to compile the stuff. It exits with
In file included from coff.c:40:
../include/ibcs/ibcs.h:32: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype
coff.c: In function bcs_exec':
coff.c:163: warning: ' might be used uninitialized in this function

make: *** [all] Error 2
This is ibcs-1.2-950413.tar.gz with the applied patch
ibcs-1.2-950413.patch1
Any idea ?
The same code worked perfectly for months !

I had the same exact experience. I posted a similiar question and got no
answer. Something is broke in the ibcs code with kernels > 1.2.11 I hope
someone fixes it and I will go ahead with the 1.3+ kernels.

Most of the fixes are straight forward, and I have it running on 1.3.4 here,
but I'm not completely comfortable since I couldn't use the do_signal part
and commented it out in the signal.c code until I get to locating more info
on it. I will say this though, if you wish to compile it, look at the error
codes, you need to include a different file to get the correct I think it's
the following include;
#include <asm/dma.h>
Then another problem is a couple of additional structures changed, and the
way I fixed it was to look in the linux/include directory for the
definitions of that call or structure, and modify the ibcs code to use it
instead.
Since the kernel source code is available, I'm sure my last question of the
do_signal is answered there, somewhere...
I bet Brandon has the answers, he's usually on top of things...

do_signal was taken out of ksyms.c in 1.3. We only need it because we used
our own version of sigsuspend rather than making the system call. To change
to use the system call you need to do it in the same way that we handle
fork() in coff.c. Don't worry, it'll be in the next release any day now :-).
