Re: Any OpenSSH for sunos4?

I've been working on building some version of OpenSSH (hopefully
one that supports v2) on sunos4.1.4. I've managed to install
all of the dependences, but am at a dead end when it comes to
the most important part.

The newer versions, 4.x and 3.x, hang silently for several
minutes on the configure script and finally tell me that my C
compiler cannot create executables (even though a working gcc is
at the head of my PATH).

There were reports of 3.7x being able to be built on SunOS 4.1.4
with some mods: http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=735

Those mods were included in 3.8x, so if nothing else works then I'd
try 3.8.1p1.

Anyway, does anyone know of any version of OpenSSH that has been
tested on sunos4? Any tips at all would be appreciated.

Take a look in config.log and see why it's the compiler isn't working.
My guess would be it hits a recursive #include loop and and runs in
little circles until it hits a memory limit.

If the problem with current versions is fixable and the fix isn't too
onerous then it would probably be accepted for the main tree.

Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
