Has anyone used Larry Walls patch program with NetBSD m68k ?
I want to use cap and took the advise of the notes and have been trying
to compile patch for the last few days... H E L P...please.
When using "sh Configure" I do not know the real answer to:-
On some systems the default C compiler will not resolve multiple global
references that happen to have the same name. On some such systems the
"Mcc" command may be used to force these to be resolved. On other systems
a "cc -M" command is required. What command will force resolution on
this system? [cc]
I cannot find any reference to "multiple global references" in the man
pages
so I am entering "gcc"
is this the correct command?
Next...
running "make" I get
hill# make
gcc -c -O patch.c
In file included from patch.c:71:
common.h:137: conflicting types for `sprintf'
/usr/include/stdio.h:250: previous declaration of `sprintf'
common.h:139: conflicting types for `lseek'
/usr/include/sys/types.h:90: previous declaration of `lseek'
*** Error code 1
Stop.
What is wrong?
I have trawled the web and found a referece to the same problems but on
BSDI as follows:-

Larry's configure script goes to great lengths to seek out trouble that
just doesn't exist on proper compilers. The supplied cc on BSDI will do
just about anything you need, and apparantly, you've hit a bug in the
configure script here. As I said, I see no need for building patch at all.

This is normal. BSDI has correct prototypes for things, and patch tries to
solve problems for elderly OS's here by defining those prototypes. You can
just remove 'm.

Can someone please tell me in detail from where i "just remove 'm" or
what I need to do.
Thanks in advance
a reply by mail would be most help.
