HI,
I have an ibmpc-rt running generic BSD 4.3, the so called Academic Operating
System, dated 1987. Since BSD has been upgraded so much, & 4.4 is also out,
there is a lot of Public Domain software that uses new versions of "make",
"cc", "/usr/include", "/usr/include/machine", "/usr/include/*" files.
I have the source of the BSD 4.3 1987 copy, but I would like to upgrade it
so that I can install new softwares. The trouble is: there are some files
that should be in new 4.3/4.4 that are machinedef, under /usr/include/machine,
which is not available for any specific machine, eg. ibmpc-rt from ftp
sites of bsd 4.3 sources.
I would like to rebuild at least the system utilities, applications
if not the kernel, like the new 386bsd distribution. Can anyone tip
me as to where I can ftp those missing include files for compilation
of eg. /usr/src/{etc, ..... ucb,bin} ..... In short how to rebuild my
BSD system with new BSD sources!!
Thanks for any INFO!
