[Klone-users] fork() check failing on uClinux build

[Steven Dorigotti]

Hello Eduardo,

   have you already seen the following thread? http://koanlogic.com/pipermail/klone-users/2008-April/000252.html

   It gives two solutions for building klone under uclinux: by using  
iterative server mode or by applying a patch to KLone 2.0.2 which uses  
vfork instead of fork.

   If you are still having trouble with the makl_checkfork function  
please try changing "fork" into "vfork" in the file ./build/ 
makl_checkfork, or at worst commenting the line starting with  
"makl_checkfork" in the ./configure script.

Let us know - cheers,
sd
