BSD tip builds and runs
Authored by: SlewSys on Oct 29, '04 09:17:43PM

For the curious - the FreeBSD tip(1) source builds and runs on MacOSX as is - just remove the FreeBSD macros `__FBSDID($FREEBSD$);' and use bsdmake(1). To attach to the modem, use `cu -l /dev/tty.modem'.

BSD tip builds and runs
Authored by: rgunzip on Oct 31, '04 09:14:48PM

I would absolutely love to recover my old cu utility, but I searched through the FreeBSD ports database and they don't have a specific "tip" port. Could you give us more details on how to get tip or cu to work on OSX (where to find the source, what to change in the code to get it to compile it, ect...).

I did try to compile UUCP a while back but I was never able to squeeze a binary out of the source code.

Thanks for the "TIP"

CU

;-)
