This file contains information about compiling the programs from Chapter 15 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: Mac OS X does not support the programs in this chapter. Run the convertmac program once eliminate all programs from the default compilation. 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.
