This file contains information about compiling the programs from Chapter 5 of UNIX Systems Programming. Under Solaris: no changes needed. Under Linux: Compiling the programs under Linux typically requires that the constant _GNU_SOURCE be defined. Run the convertlinux program once to modify the makefile use this constant. Under Mac OS X: The dirent.h include file needs the stdlib.h include file. Run the convertmac program to modify the following files to include stdlib.h before dirent.h: shownames.c, printaccesstest.c, printaccessmodtest.c, printaccessmodbadtest.c If you run the programs on another system and need to make modifications to make them work, please send email to authors@usp.cs.utsa.edu to let us know what you did.
