I picked up mgr from uunet and tried to install it over the last
couple of days. There are problems. First, make sure you read
all the README files and do the fixes they specify. They are:
* fix up all the control characters (see README.FIRST)
* cat src/copyright.h.[123456] > src/copyright.h
* cat lib/scribe.c.[1234] > lib/scribe.c
* uudecode the fonts
There are, however, two other bugs which bit me (i.e. they cause
make to fail):
1: sys/kbd.c has this silly line (line 23):
# include "<sys/termios.h>"
This should probably be:
#include <sys/termios.h>
2: There is supposed to be a file called doc/usrman.out
It doesn't exist. I made an empty one to get make over it,
assuming that mgr would run without whatever this document
is supposed to be.
Make complains of many errors while installing mgr, even with
these fixes. All of them are reported with something like:
"*** Error code 1: (ignored)"
Some of them do look ignorable, but there are mysterious things
which look more serious. e.g.: "mv mgr _mgr" fails because the
file mgr doesn't exist. "ln mgr mgr" also fails.
Thus, even though I got make to run all the way through, mgr was
probably in a bad state. This seemed to be indicated further by
the fact that running mgr causes a segmentation fault. It will
run with -v or -V and print version information, but otherwise it
dies without touching the screen.
Has anyone out there got fixes for mgr? I would like to try it
out (as, I am sure, do many others on the net). An informed
posting to the net would be reasonable at this point. Email to
me would be appreciated, but perhaps less helpful to other lost
soles.
BTW, I tried putting mgr on a SUN 3, running SunOS 4.0. I don't
believe this is an oddball system.

So is MGR a SUN only tool? ie should I even bother trying to bring it up on HP-UX? The original poster mentioned that it was ported to the Mac is 2 days or somesuch. Is this port available for ftp from somewhere? I'd appreciate an Internet address please! -Thanks, David

I finshed building MGR. It tries to run just fine, but nothing displays on my 3/60. I built the color version and have tried both -S/dev/cgfour0 and the default of /dev/bwtwo0. It does start up windows, but I never see a thing.... Sigh... Any ideas? -tank- #include <disclaimer.h> /* nobody knows the trouble I .... */

Try running the set_colormap program first. This sets the colormap up so that
text doesn't come out as black on black.

On a 3/60, remove /dev/bwtwo0, and MAKEDEV bwtwo1 viz. cd /dev ./MAKEDEV bwtwo1 (On a 3/110, you need bwtwo0) This won't affect X11.

Thanks for the advice, but I don't think this solves the problem for the original poster. It definitely doesn't solve it for me. It does make it so that you can read the menu items (hmmm, a major win!), but it does nothing about the hung windows situation. The windows can be opened up, but they just sit there. If you do a "ps" you will only see defunct processes where you expect to see shells or whatever for the windows. It is not a case of just not being able to see the text. You can see the text cursor, but it never leaves the top left corner of each window. This is on a diskless color SUN 3/60 running SunOS 4.0. Anybody have a cure? -- -- Bill Carpenter att!ho5cad!wjc or attmail!bill
