    Hello netlanders,
    Due to a project I'm working on (in minix), I'm interested in the posix standard definition. Could somebody please point me to a (preferably) machine-readable format of the latest posix rules? Ftp-sites would be
    nice.
    As an aside for all using gcc on minix - the new version (1.40) has been
    out for some weeks, and I decided to test what needed to be done to get
    it working on minix (1.37.1, which is the version you can get from
    plains is nice, but 1.40 is better :-). To my surpice, the answer
    turned out to be - NOTHING! Gcc-1.40 compiles as-is on minix386 (with
    old gcc-1.37.1), with no need to change source files (I changed the
    Makefile and some paths, but that's it!). As default this results in a compiler that uses floating point insns, but if you'd rather not,
    changing 'toplev.c' to define DEFAULT_TARGET from 1 to 0 (this is from
    memory - I'm not at my minix-box) will handle that too. Don't make the
    libs, use the old gnulib&libc.a. I have successfully compiled 1.40 with itself, and everything works fine (I got the newest versions of gas and binutils at the same time, as I've heard of bugs with older versions of ld.c). Makefile needs some chmem's (and gcc2minix if you're still using
    it).

    PS. Could someone please try to finger me from overseas, as I've
    installed a "changing .plan" (made by your's truly), and I'm not certain
    it works from outside? It should report a new .plan every time.
    wow
