I recently downloaded the etc01 distribution, and wanted to build a pile of the programs it comes with. However, I noticed that a lot of them die on errors because they can't find libcompat.a. So, I went and looked around to see if there was any place that had the compat lib source, and I found it in /usr/othersrc/contrib/isode/compat (which had to be renamed /usr/obj/contrib/isode/compat because a lot of programs were dying on that...). I tried to run a make, but it died on the error "Do not know how to make target manifest.h". Manifest.h is one level up in the subdirectory h. So, I changed the makefile to include the -I ../h directory in all the Compiles. However, when I did this, the compiler barfed massively on sprintf errors in one of the header files it was gettin from the ../h directory. Has anybody had this problem before, and if so, what can be done to fix it...? Thanks a bunch! toodlepip! marc 'em . -- storm@cs.mcgill.ca McGill P.O.W Camp "Oh crap---It's not Marc Wandschneider Montreal, CANADA random enough" Any opinions expressed are not mine, but those of the Demon Lord Yeegeheeegenogohugu who possessed me whilst I munched on Raisin Bran.
