15.7.1993 xntp3 compiles now again on AIX. I have disabled prototyping and added the switch -D_NO_PROTO which disables prototyping in the system include files. Matthias Ernst maer@nmr.lpc.ethz.ch -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Xntp version 3 now support the cc compiler for AIX. The Config.aix will now use cc by default. You can still compile xntp with the bsd compiler by changing "COMP= cc" to "COMP= bsdcc" and and removing the "-DSTUPID_SIGNAL" option from the "DEFS" option. xntp and tickadj was also modified so that the value of tickadj is read form the kernel and can be set by tickadj. For now I would not set tickadj below 40 us. Bill Jones jones@chpc.utexas.edu ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a modified version of xntp version 3 for the RS6000. It works for AIX 3.2 and these are the same changes as have been applied tothe version 2 implementation of xntp. It works fine for us but I have not tested all of the features, especially the local clock support for the RS6000 is not tested at all. Matthias Ernst, ETH-Zuerich, Switzerland - maer@nmr.lpc.ethz.ch -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here the original README.rs6000 for the version 2 implementation: A hacked version of xntp for the IBM RS/6000 under AIX 3.1 can be found in xntp.rs6000.tar.Z. [ if still available at all - Frank Kardel 93/12/3 ] This will not work on older versions of AIX due to a kernel bug; to find out whether you have the kernel bug, compile and run testrs6000.c (see comments in the code for instructions). xntp and testrs6000 require "bsdcc" to compile. This is simply another entry point into the xlc compiler with various options set for BSD compatibility. If your system does not have bsdcc, do the following: link /bin/bsdcc to /bin/xlc put the following into /etc/xlc.cfg: * BSD compatibility bsdcc: use = DEFLT crt = /lib/crt0.o mcrt = /lib/mcrt0.o gcrt = /lib/gcrt0.o libraries = -lbsd, -lc proflibs = -L/lib/profiled,-L/usr/lib/profiled options = -H512,-T512, -qlanglvl=extended, -qnoro, -D_BSD, -D_NONSTD_TYPES, -D_NO_PROTO, -tp,-B/lib/
