Hi, Gentlemen
I had subshell problem on AIX, which I fixed with the following patch:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/mc-devel/2002-April/msg00005.html
Everything was fine. But when I installed AIX 4.3.3 on my computer mc
started to hang from time to time.
So I found another way to fix the problem
- sources: mc-4.6.0-pre1 sources
- oslevel: 4.3.3.0
- gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release)
The origianl lines in subshell.c (started line 1130):
#ifdef HAVE_GETPT
/* getpt () is a GNU extension (glibc 2.1.x) */
pty_master = getpt ();
#else
strcpy (pty_name, "/dev/ptmx");
pty_master = open (pty_name, O_RDWR);
#endif
if (pty_master == -1)
return -1;
Were replaced with:
#ifdef HAVE_GETPT
/* getpt () is a GNU extension (glibc 2.1.x) */
pty_master = getpt ();
#elif IS_AIX
strcpy (pty_name, "/dev/ptc");
pty_master = open (pty_name, O_RDWR);
#else
strcpy (pty_name, "/dev/ptmx");
pty_master = open (pty_name, O_RDWR);
#endif
if (pty_master == -1)
return -1;
As for mc-4.6.0-pre1 sources, I also had to fix the ftpfs directory proble
as it was described in
