ntp 4.2.6p5

    1: 15.7.1993
    2: xntp3 compiles now again on AIX. I have disabled prototyping and added
    3: the switch -D_NO_PROTO which disables prototyping in the system include
    4: files.

    8: Xntp version 3 now support the cc compiler for AIX.
    9: The Config.aix will now use cc by default.  You can still compile xntp
   10: with the bsd compiler by changing "COMP= cc" to "COMP= bsdcc" and
   11: and removing the "-DSTUPID_SIGNAL" option from the "DEFS" option.
   12: 
   13: xntp and tickadj was also modified  so that the value of tickadj is read
   14: form the kernel and can be set by tickadj.  For now I would not set 
   15: tickadj below 40 us.

   21: This is a modified version of xntp version 3 for the RS6000. It works for
   22: AIX 3.2 and these are the same changes as have been applied tothe version 2
   23: implementation of xntp. It works fine for us but I have not tested all of
   24: the features, especially the local clock support for the RS6000 is not tested
   25: at all.

   31: Here the original README.rs6000 for the version 2 implementation:
   32: 
   33: A hacked version of xntp for the IBM RS/6000 under AIX 3.1 can be found
   34: in xntp.rs6000.tar.Z. [ if still available at all - Frank Kardel 93/12/3 ]
   35: 
   36: This will not work on older versions of AIX due to a kernel bug;  to find
   37: out whether you have the kernel bug, compile and run testrs6000.c (see
   38: comments in the code for instructions).
   39: 
   40: xntp and testrs6000 require "bsdcc" to compile.  This is simply another
   41: entry point into the xlc compiler with various options set for BSD
   42: compatibility.  If your system does not have bsdcc, do the following:
   43: 
   44: link /bin/bsdcc to /bin/xlc
   45: 
   46: put the following into /etc/xlc.cfg:
   47: 
   48: * BSD compatibility
   49: bsdcc:  use        = DEFLT
   50:         crt        = /lib/crt0.o
   51:         mcrt       = /lib/mcrt0.o
   52:         gcrt       = /lib/gcrt0.o
   53:         libraries  = -lbsd, -lc
   54:         proflibs   = -L/lib/profiled,-L/usr/lib/profiled
   55:         options    = -H512,-T512, -qlanglvl=extended, -qnoro, -D_BSD, -D_NONSTD_TYPES, -D_NO_PROTO, -tp,-B/lib/
