[Pnet-developers] pnetC: mman.h & co.

[Mario D . Santana]

Hi, all.

I'm finally going to have some uninterrupted time to work on the 
pnetCizing of the MACS client library.  I've still not been able to 
compile pnetC on OS X, so I'll be working on my linux box. Most of 
libmacs compiles as is with cscc.  The two missing bits seem to be 
sockets and expat.

I tried tackling expat first and hit some errors.  Looks like it needs 
stuff from sys/mman.h so I grabbed glibc and started figuring that all 
out.  But the glibc stuff for mman.h (grep PROT_READ) seems to be 
platform-dependent and, having never implemented a C library before, I 
wanted to get some direction before I borked up the platform-dependent 
bits of pnetClib.  I also hit some syntax errors I'll submit as bugs to 
savannah.

Meanwhile, I'll go try and tackle the socket stuff.  (So you may hear 
from me again real soon.)

Cheers!
