Hi. I am trying to compile cron for the 3b2-400 and 3b2-700
and am apparently missing required libraries. The reason is
on the 3b2-400 after boot up it complains there is corruption
in the crontab for every user lp, sysadm, root and so on.
# make cron
cc -O cron.c -o cron
undefined first referenced
symbol in file
el_add cron.o
el_delete cron.o
el_empty cron.o
el_first cron.o
el_init cron.o
xmalloc cron.o
el_remove cron.o
num cron.o
days_in_mon cron.o
days_btwn cron.o
ld fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to cron
*** Error code 13
Stop.
Does anyone have these libraries? Thanks.

At first I thought the el_ code was editline code but that doesn't make
sense in cron, but then I found the General-Purpose Event List Manager.
See
https://www.tuhs.org/cgi-bin/utree.pl?file=SysVR4/cmd/cron/elm.c
and
https://www.tuhs.org/cgi-bin/utree.pl?file=SysVR4/cmd/cron/funcs.c
Does your cron source come with this other code?
By the way, how to browse the SysVR4 code at TUHS?

I forgot to mention it is running System-5 r3 not r4..

One thing that would INCREDIBLY help people trying to help you is find
where the symbol is used, look up the variable types in the function call,
and create a prototype. For example, both of these are valid xmalloc
instances:
char *xmalloc(int size);
char *xmalloc(int size, unsigned char fillvalue)
Seeing the use in the code you are trying to compile will help avoid wrong
answers.
People already likely gave you the answers, but a little leg work on your
own before posting will help.

If you're building on SVR3, cd /usr/src/cmd/cron && make -f cron.mk should
suffice, all four variations on SVR3 sources I have have a cron.mk included.
Curiously, my SVR3.2 for 3B2 sources are missing elm.c and some other bits, and actually
wouldn't build, if you've specifically snagged SVR3.2, you might try sources
from another revision, if we pulled from the same source you're probably also missing
elm.c in that specific revision. There's also an M68k version of SVR3.1 floating
around out there somewhere that appears to have the necessary bits, I can't imagine
there's anything platform specific in cron.
Finally, there's always good old "grep -r 'el_add' /usr/src" and
"find /usr/src -name elm.c"
Best of luck!
