Does anybody have a current version of rsync built on an OSR
5.0.5 system? I no longer have a SCO system this old around, and
the rsync-2.3.1 on this machine doesn't like to talk to newer
versions (rsync-2.6.6 is the most recent I have built on an OSR
5.0.6a system to which I'm trying to use it).

The 5.0.5 system doesn't have a compiler, and I don't have a
working copy of gcc for a system that old either.

3.0.0

http://www.aljex.com/bkw/sco/#rsync
or
ftp://pcunix.com/pub/bkw/rsync.tar.bz2

If you need bzip2:
ftp://pcunix.com/pub/bkw/bzip2.tar.Z
I myslf prefer to install gwxlibs and gnutools and use the bzip2 that comes in one of those, but the tar exists exactly for cases where downloading and installing large things like that are not convenient or wise.
There is also and older, perfectly fine one in skunkware too.

The rsync binary above needs oss646c

I just compiled 3.0.0 on a 5.0.7 system.
Ldd says usr/local/bin/rsync needs:
libiconv.so2 => /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so2
/usr/lib/libsocket.so.2
/usr/lib/libc.so.1

I'm sending rsync.lzma directly to you.

Whoops. I have that, but this machine doesn't have it installed, is old
and fragile, and I'm afraid to start messing with custom on it. It has
already died once, and I am in the process of putting together a backup
machine to be ready in case this one dies.

FWIW: I tried building rsync-2.6.6 on my 5.0.6a box as a COFF
binary, but it refuses to see -lresolv so has lots of unresolved
references.

OK, I just built you a COFF binary of rsync 3.0.0 on OSR 5.0.7, and I've
put rsync.coff.lzma in celestial's incoming ftp directory.

Thanks JP for building a COFF version of rsync-3.0.0 for me.

After I learned what lzma is, and built it on my ftp server, I
was able to uncompress the file, and it seems to work a treat.

Would not mind a copy of that rsync especially for sco 5.0.7

It's a fast compile, so just roll your own.
