Re: Trouble executing example translator from Hurd Hacking Guide

[Andrew Eggenberger]

Thanks Samuel,

It's working now, with a few small tweaks. Both putting #define
_FILE_OFFSET_BITS 64 and switching the offset type in the read function
to loff_t caused the translator to output what appears to be the
contents of some memory instead of a string of '1's. But compiling with
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 worked.  There's also a small bug in the program
itself. Instead of assigning the char '1' in the for loop, it's
assigning the int 1, causing it to output the character with the ascii
code 1.
