[VANILLA-L:29] Re: [VANILLA-L:25] make install error

I had the same error when i compiled it myself. The problem is, that when
the .global file is negative, it won't create it the right way.
The problem is in the convert.c file.
I added some lines to it. Let me find the right things..

Okay, do the following:

Change from line 70 to:

    printf("Writing new global\n");
    if(glfd<0) {
       fprintf(stderr,"No existing .global found - creating a new one.\n");
       glfd = open(Global, O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0744);
    }
    
    if (glfd >= 0) {
        (void) lseek(glfd, (off_t) 0, SEEK_SET);
        (void) write(glfd, (char *) &status, sizeof(struct status));
    } else {
        fprintf(stderr,"Oops, glfd is negative!!\n");
    }
    close(glfd);
    return 0;           /* satisfy lint */
}


This will create a good .global file.
