- I built GNUtar (yes, that's tar-1.11.1.tar.Z) the other day. No
- problem at all: unpack the distribution, cd tar-1.11.1, run the
- included configure script, type make and that's it. This is for 3.0 -
- the problems posed for some stuff by the new location of the includes
- didn't turn up at all. Probably that's because I had just made and
- installed gcc-2.3.1, which also compiled out of the box (only problem
- I encountered was the need to change a couple of // style comments in
- an include file to /* */ style to correct an "unterminated constant"
- error). Whether gnutar would go through as well with the 3.0 version
- of cc I don't know.
