- I had the same problems when I loaded emx 0.8f but the solution was just to
- take a little while to build make again. Unzip make and the sources. Go into
- the source subdirectory and issue a make command. Once it has stopped doing
- anything, you need to enter a control-c (to break make) and then issue a
- make again. It will take you about 15-30 minutes to do this and I believe
- there is an error in the source to one of the c files. It wants to use a
- function int max(int a, int b) which is not defined anywhere. Simply add it
- it in (2 lines of code) in the appropriate file and you should be set.
