Configuring the FWTK Source before compiling

You should read the README file which comes with the source code, as well as the other documentation. __________________

Next you will need to edit the file Makefile.config to use gcc[see note] and you also need to add the -posix flag.

# Your C compiler (eg, "cc" or "gcc")
CC= gcc -posix

__________________

By default, FWTK tries to compile-in support for X-Windows. Unless you have a developer set of X-Windows tools, you will need to edit the Makefile document in the top level of the source code.

Original:
DIRS= smap smapd netacl plug-gw ftp-gw tn-gw rlogin-gw http-gw x-gw

Change to:
DIRS= smap smapd netacl plug-gw ftp-gw tn-gw rlogin-gw http-gw

__________________

The final change is actually a little bit tricky. You have to make up for the lack of strdup and the usual trick of adding -Dstrdup=NXCopyStringBuffer to cc does not work.

You need to use this code:
 

#include <stdio.h>

*/
char *strdup(str)
char *str;
{
char *p;
extern char *malloc();
extern char *strcpy();

if ((p = malloc(strlen(str)+1)) == NULL)
return((char *) NULL);

(void) strcpy(p, str);

return(p);
}
 

 

Finally, you need to edit http-gw/Makefile to use the strdup.o you just created.

Find the code below in the Makefile and add strdup.o where indicated
 
 
 

http-gw: hmain.o http-gw.o ftp.o gof2html.o auth.o gio.o noproxy.o\
error.o internal.h icons.o ver.o ../libfwall.a \
../libauth.a strdup.o
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(LDFL) -o $@ hmain.o http-gw.o ftp.o gof2html.o \
auth.o error.o icons.o gio.o ver.o noproxy.o \
../libfwall.a ../libauth.a $(AUXLIB) strdup.o

That should be all it takes. One final note: there is unsupported software in the tools directory. Of the admin, client, and server software, only the admin compiled cleanly. If anyone ports the client and/or server, please let me know.
 

Notes:

[1] I had to use gcc to get the package to compile. Using the regular cc program caused this error:
/NextDeveloper/Headers/bsd/i386/varargs.h:10: &ltvarargs.h> should not be included in an ANSI C program.
My thanks to Rex Dieter for his help in figuring all this out. And to Scott Anguish, from whom I have always stolen HTML (although never very well) from my first web page on....

Also my thanks again to Arthur C. Kyle whose Big Green CD Set includes an archive of Usenet postings to the comp.sys.next.* groups, which keeps me from being a bigger pain to the NeXT programmers out there. It is an invaluable resource... like a personal Dejanews of the NeXT newsgroups.
