[Info-vax] Looking into C-include files on VMS

[Joerg Schilling]

Hi,

I am currently trying to make compiling cdrtools a bit more automated.

I received a login for 

OpenVMS XXX 0 V7.2 VAX_7000-720 VAX

First a question: is this the same as a HP 9000/720?

The machine I have access to has a GNV installation from March 2005 which is 
obviously not the latest version.

There are several problems:

-	The filesystem only supports one dot "." in filenames which would
	require modifications in "configure"

-	cc always exits with exit code 0 even in case of errors. This
	causes many configure tests to fail

-	cc -E t.c | grep something hangs infinitely
	This causes most of the other configure tests to fail

-	OpenVMS 7.0 should support a POSIX compliant struct stat.st_ino
	but I cannot make this work.

	**********************
-	I cannot see the ful content of the system include files.
	Could someone help me with hints on how to do this?
	**********************


I am currntly trying to compile "smake" and use a static hand made 
configuration that was created by Mr. Heuser but I need to find a way to
run commands via bash. What is the best way to do this? THere seems to be no
fork() but vfork(). Will vfork()/exec() work?
