- In his note, Michael says:
-
- 'Ghostview failed as well:
- '# make
- 'gcc -fwritable-strings -fomit-frame-pointer -O2 -m386 -DNO_ASM
- -I/usr/X386/include -D_POSIX_SOURCE '-D_BSD_SOURCE -D_GNU_SOURCE
- -Dlinux -DFUNCPROTO=11 -DNARROWPROTO -DNON_BLOCKING_IO -DSELFILE
- '-DHOME_ON_DEMAND -c misc.c -o misc.o
- 'misc.c:61: conflicting types for `sys_errlist'
- '/usr/include/errno.h:8: previous declaration of `sys_errlist'
- 'make: *** [misc.o] Error 1
-
- I got exactly the same problems. I had to modify the files misc.c, line
- 61, (and another -
- I forget) as follows:
-
- #ifdef notdef
- (the offending sys_errlist declaration)
- #endif /* notdef */
-
- Then it compiled fine. As I said in my previous note, the result was a
- GhostView that
- comes up beautifully, but when I attempt to use it on an *.eps file, I
- get a "dynamic malloc"
- error with the info that I have insufficient memory (I think - I'm
- remembering.) However,
- my 8MB system with 16MB swap has NOTHING else running except for X.
-
- Another problem, as I said in a followup note -- make doesn'w work
- properly. It fails to
- detect that *.o files exist, and are newer than their respective source files.
- Further, make seems to ignore any make targets, such as "install" or "clean".
