It has come to my attention that the NetBSD 1.3 distribution is missing
some of the standard GNU C header files. I've been trying to get to the
point at which I can help Karl Maftoum (k.maftoum@student.canberra.edu.au)
with the port of DOOM he has been doing for the pmax. During the make
process I have found that the following header files are missing from the
system:
errnos.h
values.h
alloca.h
features.h
Karl indicated that all of these headers are part of the standard GNU C
distribution and should be part of the NetBSD distribution. Karl has sent
me copies of values.h and alloca.h which he copied over from his Linux
system. Each time I add a missing file it uncovers yet another missing
header.
I am wondering if the best course of action is to build and install GCC
2.8.0. I wanted to make sure that there weren't any incompatibilities with
NetBSD before I went ahead and did so.
Does anyone know why the above mentioned headers are not included with the
distribution? Thanks for whatever help you can provide,
Rob Mohr
