jimmer wrote: I completly agree with you on the compatibility thing. But when I ran `make sgi` out of the box the compile failed. I then checked Makefile.sgi and there were strange things. first of all only -O optimisation. then a -DSGI which doesn;t appear in the source anywhere. It should have been -DSGI_CUSTOM. When I looked into the error I was getting, it seemed some new code in the nedit malloc stuff from 2015 was the culprit. On a hunch I changed the cc to c99 and the compile completed flawlessly.
jimmer wrote: yes. and that one malloc call also is cast to (char *) which as i recall isn;t needed given that malloc returns (void *)

HP was looking to replace its aging PA-RISC with a modern 64-bit server chip that could run legacy OSes like Unix.
