I have some questions about installing the V-system on a SUN.
We want to install V using a SUN 3/180 (with SUN OS4.0) as the V fileserver.
Because the Unix-Part of V is written for the VAX we can't use any of the
vax-binaries. 
1. If you know that someone else installed V with a sun server tell us,
please.
2. I managed to build  "build". The next thing I tried is to compile cc68
with our normal cc. 
Allthough I undefined LITTLE_ENDIAN for the SUN-Version the assembler (as68)
failed at least to compile ../V/libc/drivers/enet75.c. Enet75.b was 
283.000.000 Bytes, with gaps of course.
Compiling without -DStanford didn't work, because some include-files
were missing. There was a 8 in an octal digit in ../V/cmds/cc68/as/mi/mical.h. 
What does the option -DSymDesc mean ?
3. Even if the assembler works correctly we won't have any 
/usr/sun/lib/crt0.b . (We prefer the prefix /usr/local/V/ for all parts of 
the package, but that's no problem)
So I can only get *.b  files but cannot link them with ld68.
Can I get /usr/sun/lib/ctr0.b from my sources ?
And how can I be sure that the compiler works correctly ?
 
I hope you can can find the answer to my questions ...
Thanks for any help, your
