Hello,
I compiled diff. I used gcc-3.4. I had to modify diffdir.c. These are
the changes:
@@ -18,6 +18,7 @@ struct dir {
short d_reclen;
short d_namlen;
char *d_entry;
+ char *d_name;
};
struct dir *setupdir();
@@ -172,7 +173,7 @@ setupdir(cp)
char *cp;
{
register struct dir *dp = 0, *ep;
- register struct direct *rp;
+ register struct dir *rp;
register int nitems, n;
DIR *dirp;
Go to the directory of diff (bin/diff) and $ CC=/usr/bin/gcc-3.4 make
There are some warnings, but you will get 2 ELF binaries: diff and diffh.
I used the compiled diff to see the differences of the file diffdir.c:
$ ./diff /tmp/orig/bin/diff/diffdir.c /tmp/modified/bin/diff/diffdir.c

hope it will help you.
