From 50e19489387774bab3c4a988397d0d9c7a142a46 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lasse Collin Date: Mon, 6 May 2024 20:45:34 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] Update INSTALL about MINIX 3 The latest stable is 3.3.0 and it's from 2014. Don't mention the older versions in INSTALL. 3.3.0 ships with Clang already. Testing with 3.4.0beta6 shows that tuklib_physmem works too so omit comments about that from INSTALL. Visibility warnigns weren't a problem either. Thus it's enough to mention the need for --disable-threads as configure doesn't autodetect the lack of pthreads. --- INSTALL | 20 +++++++------------- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) diff --git a/INSTALL b/INSTALL index 37c40055..ba187bbb 100644 --- a/INSTALL +++ b/INSTALL @@ -90,21 +90,15 @@ XZ Utils Installation 1.2.3.
