I think this is the right place to post this; I'm only beginning to work on some porting to the sparc.
While compiling some packages for the sparc (a recent fileutils and bsdgames), I came upon this error: phantglobs.h:67: macro `strcpy' used without args phantglobs.h:68: macro `strncpy' used without args make[2]: *** [main.o] Error 1 What this looks like in the .h file is a function prototype: extern char *strcpy(); extern char *strncpy(); The problem is, /usr/include/bits/string2.h has some macros in it for strcpy and strncpy. The function prototypes get expanded into the macros, which was never intended to happen. Fixes for this include - 1 commenting out the function prototypes (shouldn't hurt anything), but will probably impact a fair number of packages. 2 compiling without -O2, which disables the macros. 3 fixing the include files somehow (one way is to just remove the macros, of course, but that may slow things down, they appear to be optimized). I guess option 3 is best, if it's doable. -- see shy jo -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
