Would you try adding a subdirectory 'sqafix' (without the quotes) at the same level that the squish, slib, util, etc. (typically .../maximus/sqafix ) already
exist in your source code tree and try running your CVS update again? I suspect that you may have a user ID issue with creating sub-directories in the location where you are compiling the code and updating from CVS. :( Let me know what happens.

Thanks.

i just looked at my logs of my update sessions and my
last log ends with an attempt to change into the sqafix
directory which is nonexistant on my box...

here's my update script...

===== updatemax =====
echo updating from cvs
cvs up 2>&1 > 1.log
echo configuring... hit enter...
./configure --prefix=/opt/max 2>&1 > 2.log
echo running make build
make build 2>&1 > 3.log
===== end =====

the above terminates with the following...

=====
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/opt/maximus/msgapi'
/bin/sh: cd: sqafix: No such file or directory
cd sqafix && /usr/bin/gmake
/bin/sh: cd: sqafix: No such file or directory
make: *** [sqafix] Error 1
=====

unfortunately, my redirections aren't grabbing the
/bin/sh lines or the make: line and directing them into
the logs as desired... i had it working like that at
one time and had to recreate the script and forgot how
i did it before... enlightenment?

thanks...

added the directory with the same results... running everything as root so that
should not be a problem... ended up removing everything and reinstalling maximus-3.03-etc.tar.gz and running

cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymoys@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/maximus co maximus

(instead of cvs up)

and then cd into the maximus directory and run ./configure and then make build with a similar error... my redirection logging isn't working as i'd like but the screen output without redirection ends like so...

That's only warnings which doesn't help a lot by debugging..

Please netmail me the whole make sequenze or so.

Would you try adding a subdirectory 'sqafix' (without the quotes)
at the same level that the squish, slib, util, etc.

Another question.
Does sqafix sources exist in original Pete's package? I know it can be compiled
with Watcom, but CVS doesn't have original makefiles.

If anybody can send me these sources, please write to <stro@isd.dp.ua>

Appologies for the long delay in replying..... Unfortunately, it's not going to get better over the next 2 months.....

Ok. Someone is going to have to dig into DoDumpArea and DoRunManualMode calls and see what's up. I am guessing that I'll find a define or macro definition isn't correct for your platform. :(

For original sources, please contact Pete. He is registered on on the Maximus Sourceforge page, and I think e-mail to his sourceforge accout does get to him.
If you do get source from Pete, please make sure you keep what is on the sourceforge site legal under the GNU public license.

The main problem with the original SqaFix code was a couple of copyrighted source files that Pete had. From memory, I had to replace four files. One file was the CRC-16 / CRC-32 calculation. That file was believe to be PD, but I didn't have clear knowledge of that. So, I replaced the CRC calculation with
one from another GNU package. The current CRC code should be OK with the Watcom compiler, but I haven't tried it yet. The (two or) three other files contained Borland copyrights if I remember correctly. So, if you had the appropriate Borland C(?) compiler, you could use the code..... I wouldn't be supprised if at least part of the Borland code has been released for public consumption, but I didn't have the time to track it down. From memory, these files dealt with OS issues, such as file name / directory issues, etc. Bo and I had to replace these files with other code or new code, and that new code was
only tested in a Linux / Unix based environment. I'm sure there will be some changes needed in those (two or) three files to get the code to compile again for a Win32 / OS/2 / DOS target.

And I did drop a few files from being checked in to the SqaFix subdirectory on sourceforge from Pete's original code because I didn't have a way to use or check the file's contents. I think the Watcom IDE's control files (i.e. make stuff) was part of that.

Take care.....

that's what i've ended up doing... i guess it does make it easier to see the errors ;-)

Hmmmm......

Thanks for the note. If you find a solution, let me know.

hopefully you've read my other messages by now... i did finally get a complete compile... seems that there are some ^Ms in a couple of the sqafix files and my
compiler doesn't like lines that continue on subsequent lines with a \... i've had to recombine all those onto one line as use tr to change the ^Ms to spaces...

try 'program 1>name.log 2>name.err'... Unfortunately, that will
seperate stderr from stdout lines.....

It can be used as 'program 1>>name.log 2>>name.log', and you'll have it in timing order, but you cannot recognize, which line is stderr.
