Chronological & intermittent log of porting experiences

June 1995, Bob Jacobsen

HP-UX: Neil Geddes at RAL/UK does _not_ report the problem with
        long filenames, but does have a problem with linking in
        stdhep. Its needs to have +ppu as a f77 option, so this
        was added to the stdhep (and only stdhep) GNUmakefile. Should
        it have been in standard.mk?

OSF1:  Neil also needed the gnbase -W,l, whatever added back to
        get the linker to pull together bbsim

HP-UX: (@LLNL)
	"ar" seems to only remember 14 characters of filename, which means
	that gmake is remaking lots of stuff, and the ar files are
        growing very fast.

        g++ 2.5.7 has trouble with Quarrie's template
        instantiation

	Here, its "remsh", not rsh

OSF1V3: (@UCSB)
        g++ 2.6.0 has trouble with the XDR header files, clockid_t
        ends up undefined.  Upgrade to 2.6.3 fixes this.

        "getopts" not available in sh - changed _all_ scripts 
        to getopt, which does seem to be available

	uname in SRTstartup.csh needed to take 2 characters

        compress/uncompress for tar transfers seems to occasionally
        give truncated files.  I had to remove this, which will be
        a problem for our UK friends

SunOS5 @ LBL
	The Tcl files are in a really inconvenient place - the standard
        seems to be   
		TCL_INC = /usr/local/include
   		TCL_LIB = /usr/local/lib
        but the module system has really screwed us up. Eventually
        LBL & SLAC will have to have BFSITE defined...
