i'm trying to get 18.55 up on unix sys V/386 3.2.2

when i run make in the /src directory, "sysdep.c"
i get "*** Error code 1"

the problem seems to be related to the TIOCGWINSZ variable, and in the
PROBLEMS file, the 1st thing is:

  * Error compiling sysdep.c, "sioctl.h: no such file or directory".

  Among USG systems with TIOCGWINSZ, some require sysdep.c to include
  the file sioctl.h; on others, sioctl.h does not exist.  We don't know
  how to distinguish these two kind of systems, so currently we try to
  include sioctl.h on all of them.  If this #include gets an error, just
  delete it.

i tried removing the #include, and then there were undefined
structures and it still didn't compile.

i created an empty "sysdep.o" file just so the make could keep going,
everything else complies except "alloca.c" which has all kinds of
errors: illegal class, syntax error, illegal register declaration,
etc.

can anyone help? these are probably simple problems if i knew what to
look for.

thanks,
