I used even to be able to run the GNU configure script to generate the header file containing most of the macros that ZA presumably painstakingly coded by hand. Lately, however, configure fails because it can't find a z/OS equivalent of getmntent().
I've coded what I think is an alternative getmntent() using interfaces available on z/OS, and even put it in a .a file. But here my skills fail me: I have no idea how to marry it to GNU configure. (Might be easier in Minnesota or Rhode Island, this month.) -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
