Porting the almost-portable: Some UNIX(TM) system software hints.
01 January 1987
Most UNIX(TM) system software can be easily moved from one machine to another, re-compiled, and run without difficulty. This paper addresses the rest of the cases: programs that resist any attempts at compiling because of system or machine differences. Ways to convince, coerce, or deceive stubborn software are discussed. A more-than-casual familiarity with UNIX(TM) system and it's tools is assumed.
