Off topic: Help with compiling an old C program
In fear of lynching, I didn't write this to alt.folklore.computers (a fav=
orite of mine.)
So, the problem goes something like this:
I have the C sourcecode a simulator for the IBM OS/390 MVS Job Control La=
nguage, which some of the people on this list might be familiar with. The=
only "errrk" here is that the bugger doesn't compile on my Linux box. So=
mething to do with an "extern" command in one of the headers, I gather, n=
ot to mention some stuff about filenames in the makefile which I successf=
ully kluged.
The whole shebang (some shell scripts, *.c files, yacc files, makefile an=
d such) is in a quite small-ish ~7kb tarball. I'd really appreciate if so=
me kind Linux wizard would take the time and see what is bothering the po=
or thing.
"What on earth is this guy going to do with a JCL simulator?" is somethin=
g that's probably on Your, the reader's, mind right now. The answer is a =
very simple one; I'm one of the sysadmin at my school, with the network c=
onsisting of god-knows-how-many win9x computers and two servers, an NT ju=
nk and our ancient Linux 486 wheeze-box. I admin the linux one, and get t=
icked off several times a day when some dimwit freshman goes and decides =
to blaspheme the hallowed Server by IRCing, MUDing or preforming other un=
-good actions. So, being a BOFH, I decide to replace the standard shell (=
bash) with the JCL shell I found. "Hey," I think, "if they can use JCL, t=
hey've EARNED the right to type three lines of smileys in IRC."
I figure I'd just leave a copy of the 315 page, 105,507 word "OS/390 V2R4=
.0 MVS JCL User's Guide" lying next to the keyboard, with the words "EVIL=
" scrawled on the first page in shaky letters.
