I'll try this post again,


Hello Net,

I am now using  /pub/Minix/common-pkgs/mxuupc.tar.Z from bugs.nosc.mil
as my uucp package.  I have seen a lot of messages about uucp for minix
so here is what I did to get this package running(one of the better
packages I have ftp'd).

I am using standard minix 1.5 from PH with a few extras.

1) The Makefile references dirent.h as being in /usr/include/sys but it
   is in /usr/include.
2) For me the receive buffer for send and expect was too small.  I changed
   the define of MAXR from 300 to 1500 in dcpsys.c.
3) This problem is in about all the packages I get.  I added the include of
   <sys/types.h> to dcputil.c uuc.x mail.c(I suppose the standard header
   files that came with minix are incorrect, is sys/types.h really needed
   could someone post a response).
4) The reference to the modemcap file in mgetent.c refers to
   /usr/etc/modemcap, mine is in /etc/modemcap.
5) newgpkt.c has a bug in it, see cdif below.  Also whoever maintains
   the mxuucp package please update it with this fix.
6) Follow the README file, I renamed dcp to uucico.
7) I use u-mail and w-mail for the mail system and can't remember where I
   got them.

Hope this helps,

Michael Temari                              temari@ecamv1.dnet.ge.com
