- I have retrieved xf-1.4 from barkley.berekeley.edu and am trying to
- compile (?) it on the IBM RS-6000. I have tk2.3 and tcl6.4 compiled
- and working just fine on the IBM. However, when the makefile for
- xf gets to "installing: makexf", I get a raft of errors:
-
- installing: makexf
- "xf.sh", line 1.1: 1288-218 (W) Unknown preprocessing directive !.
- "xf.sh", line 2.3: 1288-218 (W) Unknown preprocessing directive This.
- "xf.sh", line 8.3: 1288-218 (W) Unknown preprocessing directive configure.
- "xf.sh", line 10.3: 1288-218 (W) Unknown preprocessing directive where.
- This seems to be a problem with your cpp (or my installation routine
- :-). If you have an alternative cpp (like gnus cpp) please try this
- one. Edit the Makefile target: "makexf". Just replace /lib/cpp with
- the alternative cpp command.
-
- Then, one it gets down to making misc, it says "don't know how to make
- misc" - checked the makefile and it looks fine (e.g., it's there) and
- looks the same as the other targets.
- Jup. This is a small bug in the Makefile. There is a patch named
- xf1.4-patch, that should be available at the site where you grabbed
- xf. You can also change this by hand. Just remove the "; \" at the end
- of the target: "BuildAbout" (right before the target: "misc").
