I was wondering if anyone has ever been able to build and use BSD 1 on Research Unix v7 (pdp-11)?<div><br></div><div>I&#39;ve installed the Keith Bostic tape, and I&#39;ve been fighting the floating point and some other weird stuff....</div>
<div><br></div><div>I&#39;ve configured my PDP-11 like this:</div><div><br></div><div><div>set cpu 11/70</div><div>set cpu 2M</div><div>set cpu idle</div><div>set rp0 rp06</div><div>att rp0 rp06-0.disk</div><div>att tm0 xx.tap</div>
<div>boot tm0</div></div><div><br></div><div>but I&#39;m lost on the install guide, as it mentions for floating point...</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div>Floating Point</div><div><br></div><div>     UNIX only supports (and really  expects  to  have)  the</div>
<div>FP11-B/C  floating  point  unit.   For machines without this</div><div>hardware, there is a user  subroutine  available  that  will</div><div>catch illegal instruction traps and interpret floating point</div><div>operations.  (See fptrap(3).) To install this subroutine  in</div>
<div>the  library,  change  to  /usr/src/libfpsim and execute the</div><div>shell files</div><div><br></div><div>                compall</div><div>                mklib</div><div><br></div><div>The system as delivered does not have this code included  in</div>
<div>any  command, although the operating system adapts automati-</div><div>cally to the presence or absence of the FP11.</div><div><br></div><div>     Next, a floating-point version of  the  C  compiler  in</div><div>/usr/src/cmd/c should be compiled using the commands:</div>
<div><br></div><div>        cd /usr/src/cmd/c</div><div>        make fc1</div><div>        mv fc1 /lib/fc1</div><div><br></div><div>This allows programs with floating  point  constants  to  be</div><div>compiled.   To  compile floating point programs use the `-f&#39;</div>
<div>flag to cc(1). This flag ensures  that  the  floating  point</div><div>interpreter is loaded with the program and that the floating</div><div>point version of `cc&#39; is used.</div></div><div><br></div><div><br></div>
<div>The library doesn&#39;t actually build a libfpsim.a but rather it hooks into libc?  And the fc1 command won&#39;t build as there is no libfpsim....</div><div><br></div><div>Maybe I&#39;m doing something obviously wrong?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Any hint would be appreciated.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Jason</div>
