LS and MORE -

I had the same problem, took the patches and the LS and MORE sources to work,
built patch on *REAL* unix (where the autoconfigure works like a dream),
patched the LS and MORE sources there, carried the resulting patched sources
back home, and compiled them on minix.  Three times around the barn to do
something simple, and requiring access to a *REAL* unix system to support
minix upgrade, but it worked.  The 1.5.0 LS which resulted still doesn't
work right, but that's another story.

DE and KERMIT -

I haven't been able to get DE or KERMIT running, though.

I get a bunch of unresolved references at link time with DE.

Minix asld runs out of memory with KERMIT, even if run direct from the
command line instead of under make and cc, even with the minix root on
/dev/hd3 instead of /dev/ram.  I don't have an easy way out of this one
by carrying it in to work.

Anybody have any suggestions on how to build minix DE and KERMIT on
minix?
