I started doing the update from MINIX-ST 1.1 to MINIX-ST 1.5.0, and came
across some problems which I will describe here. The numbers refer to the
steps in Frans Meulenbroeks' update guide.

4)	'make' won't compile the first time under ST 1.1 since some include
	files are missing. I solved this by performing steps 14-19 before
	doing step 4. Step 14-19 describe the creation of a new /usr/include.
	Don't forget to create /usr/include/minix and /usr/include/sys with:
		cpdir /usr/oldinclude/minix /usr/include/minix
		cpdir /usr/oldinclude/sys /usr/include/minix
	The oldinclude/minix and oldinclude/sys directories can be removed
	now. Should there still be problems, then adding "-I/usr/oldinclude"
	to the CFLAGS macro in the appropriate makefiles does help. Maybe it's
	even better to move the missing includefiles to /usr/include, since
	the oldinclude directory is removed after the upgrade.
8)	I had to edit the makefile for 'patch' and changed .s into .o. Also
	added the line "#define NDEBUG" to common.h before assert.h is
	included. This prevents you from the message: "Undefined: ___assert"
11)	crc.c is somewhere in the PC 1.5.0 distribution...
        Get it from there, or use an older version.
20)	This should be: patch < lib.h.cdif lib.h (Thanks Jack!)
30)	In the directories ansi, posix, and other:
	- Save the original makefiles,
	- mv st_makefile makefile.
	In the directory atari:
	- edit makefile and add "-DATARI_ST -DACK" to the CFLAGS macro.
	In the directory posix:
	- edit getpwent.c and change PRIVATE to PUBLIC for the routines
	  get/set/endpwent().
	- edit getgrent.c and change PRIVATE to PUBLIC for the routines
	  get/set/endgrent().

Some of these tips/changes have been posted before by Jack Dunn, Kai-Uwe
Bloem, and others.

I didn't go any further, but I'll post any new experiences as soon as I have
them. Experiences, good or bad :-(, are always welcome!
