I added the two functions that treat the float as a long. This worked
between FreeBSD and SunOS 4.1.4. (no surprise).
Then I tried the:
s = xdr_getpos( &xdrs );
function, which failed to compile. The first time was under CC, then
under cc. Both times the error was too many args to function. In the
xdr.h is a 'getpos' macro that expands to a function call within the XDR
structure.
u_int (*x_getpostn)();/* returns bytes off from beginning */
Unfortunately, the function definition is defined to take no
parameters! This is probably a left over K&R definition.
Trying to downshift to K&R, I tried the -traditional switch, but that
caused other errors.
My solution is to modify /usr/include/rpt/xdr.h. But that only lasts
until I install 2.0.5 . Maybe fixed in 2.1?
