Re: [9fans] 2c/2l make sense, but why 1c/1l?

I don't believe a 68000 compiler was ever released by the labs but there may have been one - some blit terminals had 68000s (and maybe gnots?) so its plausable. There was a port of the plan9 compilers to the VAX but I think its sourcecode was lost (jmk found an executable some years). -Steve ---

[9fans] sshnet and the go dns resolver

hi, the senerio - i have a plan9 terminal, a mac laptop. the laptop connects to a vpn. i write in go, and thus far i use sshfs to mount the mac’s filesystem and edit my code. i build and run the code on the mac. i thought i could use git9 via sshnet to work natively on plan9 most of this is f

The Go net package uses /net/cs and /net/dns. I see sshnet doesn't create /net/dns. That could be the issue. fhs On Tue, Feb 23, 2021 at 4:35 PM Steve Simon wrote: > hi, > > the senerio - i have a plan9 terminal, a mac laptop. the laptop connects > to a vpn. > > i write in go, and thus far i

Re: [9fans] sshnet and the go dns resolver

2021-02-23 Thread Jeff Sickel
I’ve noticed similar problems with go programs and resolving a lookup. There are go programs that explicitly look for “/etc/resolv.conf” to grab the nameserver to use, though it would be nice if the developer were using the default net package for lookups. > On Feb 23, 2021, at 3:34 PM, Steve Sim

tlaronde pointed me at the APL that shipped in the contrib directory in 4.3BSD. In hindsight I suspect that was the version I spun up at Athabasca U way back when (1989ish). I was quite surprised to see that a substantial chunk of it managed to compile 'out of the box' on OpenBSD 6.8 (albeit with

thanks all for the suggestions. digging through the source of sshnet.c and the go net library i think i understand. the plan9 runtime library assumes, and insists the string returned from /net/cs contains a valid ip address. the code in sshnet which serves a /net/cs does a local ndb lookup, a
