Greetings,
I have been trying to compile 1.11.1p1 under OpenVMS 7.2-1.
Rex Jolliff says he has been successful with 1.11.
Maybe I should be using 1.11 and not 1.11.1p1 at this time but I will share what I have
found so far because it could help others.
In 1.11 the following .com files are present:
./build.com
./diff/build_diff.com
./lib/build_lib.com
./src/build_src.com
./vms/build_vms.com
./zlib/Make_vms.com
./zlib/build_zlib.com
In 1.11.1p1 the following .com files are present:
./build.com
./diff/build_diff.com
./lib/build_lib.com
./src/build_src.com
./vms/build_vms.com
./zlib/Make_vms.com
The build.com is identical on 1.11 and 1.11.1p1 containing:
$ set def [.zlib]
$ @build_zlib.com
$ set def [-.diff]
$ @build_diff.com
$ set def [-.vms]
$ @build_vms.com
$ set def [-.lib]
$ @build_lib.com
$ set def [-.src]
$ @build_src.com
Since 1.11.1p1 does not have a ./zlib/build_zlib.com I copied build_zlib.com from 1.11
to 1.11.1p1 and did a build. My other option is to change build.com to use
./zlib/Make_vms.com; I also am trying this option and discuss it later.
-------------------------------------
getdate.c does not build with the "#if defined (VMS)" test that included
# include <types.h>
so I hard coded
# include <sys/types.h>
# include "xtime.h"
and it compiles without errors. I do get information warnings such as the following in
diff/io.c, lib/getdate.c, and src/patch.c:
if (Year < 0)
........^
%CC-I-QUESTCOMPARE, In this statement, the unsigned expression "Year" is being compared
with a relational operator to a constant whose value is not greater than zero. This
might not be what you intended.
at line number 616 in file USER$DISK:[USERS.CM.TOOLS.CVS.CVS-1_11_1P1.LIB]GETDATE.Y;1
return Start == -1 ? 0 : Start;
...........^
%CC-I-QUESTCOMPARE1, In this statement, the unsigned expression "Start" is being
compared with an equality operator to a constant whose value is negative. This might
not be what you intended.
at line number 977 in file USER$DISK:[USERS.CM.TOOLS.CVS.CVS-1_11_1P1.LIB]GETDATE.Y;1
The build resulted in 2 undefined symbols:
ANNOTATE from main.obj and CVS_TEMP_FILE form cvslib.olb
With these results I tested cvs from the VMS client using a cvs client v1.11 on a DEC
ALPHA (OSF1 cmp V4.0 878 alpha).
So far I have not been successful with cvs login but have been successful with the
cvs -d :pserver:name@node:/cvsroot method.
For testing I copied an existing ,v from the repository into VMS/TESTIT,v and have been
able to cvs checkout, edit the file, cvs diff, cvs commit, cvs diff revisions, cvs log,
and cvs status the file under VMS.
The cvs annotate failed. I added "CC annotate.c" to the build_src.com and rebuilt cvs
and then "cvs annotate" worked.
I am not sure why annotate.c was not in the .com file, it should be.
--------------------------------------
Using the other option of altering the build.com to use ./zlib/Make_vms.com instead of
copying the ./zlib/build_zlib.com from v1.11 to v1.11.1p1 I found the following::
zlib/Make_vms.com builds a libz.olb instead of a zlib.olb that zlib/build_zlib.com
builds.
This causes a problem because the src/build_src.com file looks for a zlib.olb and not
the libz.olb that Make_vms.com uses.
I used egrep "zlib.olb|libz.olb" on all the .com files in 1.11.1p1 and 1.11 to help
identify the mismatch, results are shown for the .com files that contain zlib.olb or
libz.olb:
cvs-1.11.1p1:
----- ./src/build_src.com -----
[-.zlib]zlib.olb/lib,[-.diff]diff.olb/lib,[-.lib]gnulib.olb/lib
----- ./zlib/Make_vms.com -----
$ CALL MAKE libz.OLB "lib/crea libz.olb *.obj" *.OBJ
$ call make example.exe "LINK example,libz.olb/lib" example.obj libz.olb
"LINK minigzip,libz.olb/lib,x11vms:xvmsutils.olb/lib" -
minigzip.obj libz.olb
cvs-1.11:
----- ./zlib/Make_vms.com -----
$ CALL MAKE libz.OLB "lib/crea libz.olb *.obj" *.OBJ
$ call make example.exe "LINK example,libz.olb/lib" example.obj libz.olb
"LINK minigzip,libz.olb/lib,x11vms:xvmsutils.olb/lib" -
minigzip.obj libz.olb
----- ./zlib/build_zlib.com -----
$ library/create zlib.olb adler32.obj,-
----- ./src/build_src.com -----
[-.vms]openvmslib.olb/lib,[-.zlib]zlib.olb/lib,[-.diff]diff.olb/lib
So I decided to alter src/build_src.com to look for libz.olb instead of zlib.olb.
This goes along with the idea that UNIX libraries by convention start with lib and the
Makefile.in and Makefile.am create zlib/libz.a libraries.
Doing the build using libz.olb I still get the undefined symbol of CVS_TEMP_FILE.
Using CVS client with pserver on a VMS processor is challenging because of the need to
double quote strings so that the case is use. For example: cvs -H add does not
work,
but cvs "-H" add works.
Some more examples:
DIPSD->cvs checkout alpha/fcs/Makefile
cvs server: cannot find module `alpha/fcs/makefile' - ignored
cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot expand modules
DIPSD->cvs checkout "alpha/fcs/Makefile"
U alpha/fcs/Makefile
DIPSD->dir
Directory USER$DISK:[USERS.CM.MILLER.CVS_STAGE]
ALPHA.DIR;1 DIPS.DIR;1 VMS.DIR;1
Total of 3 files.
DIPSD->cvs status alpha/fcs/Makefile
===================================================================
File: no file makefile Status: Needs Checkout
Working revision: No entry for makefile
Repository revision: 1.32 /sdhs_mnt2/cvsroot/alpha/fcs/Makefile,v
DIPSD->cvs status "alpha/fcs/Makefile"
===================================================================
File: Makefile Status: Up-to-date
Working revision: 1.32
Repository revision: 1.32 /sdhs_mnt2/cvsroot/alpha/fcs/Makefile,v
Sticky Tag: (none)
Sticky Date: (none)
Sticky Options: (none)
I have found that rtag -F -r HEAD current module must be done as
rtag "-F" -r "HEAD" current
I have also found that if I create a .cvspass file manually that cvs login does not
error.
I also have found that CVSROOT should be a symbol and not a logical.
Bottom line I changed the following three files in v1.11.1p1:
BUILD.COM
LIB/GETDATE.C
SRC/BUILD_SRC.COM
The VMS diffs of my changes are:
DIPSD->diff build.com
************

What affect does the undefined symbol of CVS_TEMP_FILE have?
