I had the same thing happen on my SCO Xenix 286 2.3.2. It turns out
that build creates doit.bin like this:
( many lines of stuff ) >doit.bin
The shell barfs on that much stuff in parentheses (to make a subshell)
and dumps core. The solution is simple. Just split it so that it
looks like this:
( about half the stuff ) >doit.bin
( the other half ) >>doit.bin
Other things you will want to watch out for:
- most everything will compile fine in small model, but make sure
that you give cc/ld the -i flag to split the I&D or a few programs
won't work.
- expire needs to be compiled under large model to work. After
you've compiled the whole thing, you will have to recompile the
libraries as large model and then recompile expire as large model.
I've got cnews working just fine on my system now. Anybody who wants
advice can feel free to send me mail.
