Thanks for the tip, John.
My getopt man page states that getopts is preferred, so I have
modified the source to use getopts instead. I am re-running make but,
as you may have guessed, my sun workstation is a little s-l-o-w! ...I'll report back when its finished.
Nonono. That is the shell utility getopts vs getopt. Do "man 3 getopt" to get the page for the C library routines.
And there you find:
SYNOPSIS
int getopt(argc, argv, optstring)
int argc;
char **argv;
char *optstring; extern char *optarg;
extern int optind, opterr;So what you need actually is a definition for optind, that seems to be missing:
Add somewhere in main() or outside it the defintion:
extern int optind;
What I do not know exactly is why gcc doesn't complain on other OSes about the missing declaration. (in amanda.h I find the definition for getopt and optarg, but not for optind; actually you better add the definition there.)
