* patch to allow you to compile JNOS 2.0f4 in '64 bit' ...
*
* This is a PATCH - ONLY install on top of JNOS 2.0f4 (last beta) !!!
*

 ***  USE AT YOUR OWN RISK - this is experimental ***

A) Introduction
   ============

I recently upgraded my Optiplex 745 to Scientific Linux 5.2 - I could
still compile JNOS 2.0f4 using the makefile that comes with it, but I
noticed some odd occurances after running JNOS and doing some tests.

For example, if I entered 'bbs' at the console, it would come back
with a failed telnet to 127.0.0.1, errno 97 (address family not
supported).

Another example, if I telneted to JNOS from linux side, it would connect
by nothing would be displayed to me. If I typed carefully I can do things,
just never see the results of what I did.

I'm willing to bet there are other issues that I have yet to find.

ANYWAYS ... it would seem that this particular release of SL is now
compiling in the true sense of a '64 bit' environment. As an interim
solution, I have come up with a 'quick' patch that seems to resolve
the problems that I ran into.

In the long run I will have to tooth and comb the JNOS code and start
seriously thinking about making it more '64 bit friendly' - this seems
inevitable, just like the setjmp() issues of a few years ago :(

B) How to get this patch
   =====================

Download the following file (use 'wget' or 'curl' if you want) :

  http://www.langelaar.net/projects/jnos2/J20f4/lp64.tar.gz

Put the file into your JNOS 2.0f4 source directory.

Change into the JNOS 2.0f4 source directory.

Do a 'gunzip lp64.tar.gz', followed by a 'tar xvf lp64.tar'.

This will extract 7 files.

C) How to compile
   ==============

* BEFORE YOU COMPILE - you have to edit your makefile

Add -DUSE_LP64 to the end of the 'PATCHES' directive.

Enter the command, 'make clean', followed by 'make'.

*** Don't panic if you see compile warnings, just ignore them ***

This generates a 'jnos' binary.

Put the 'jnos' binary into the '/jnos' runtime directory.
