Re: RTLinux 2.2 and mbuff 0.7.1

[Philip N Daly <pnd@noao.edu>]

OK,

After several suggestions from Tomasz and much re-compiling etc, I've
got RTLinux 2.2 and mbuff 0.6.6 to work. I'll try 0.7.1 "real soon
now" and report back.

I cannot say what the exact problem was but I did several things to
solve this and something worked:

1. Made sure mbuff.h mbuff.o was being picked up from the right
   directory and not the RTLinux one;
   
2. Re-compiled mbuff using the rtl.mk from RTLinux 2.2 (which had some
   different compiler flags from the original mbuff Makefile;
   
3. Modified the thread code in my Rmem mbuffex to correctly terminate
   the loop ... sometimes I was getting a loop index of -1 which would
   indicate an illegal memory address;
   
So, I'm satisfied. This version of mbuffex is available at

  ftp://orion.tuc.noao.edu/pub/pnd/mbuffex-0.6.6.tar.gz
  
Thanks Tomasz.
