Ok, that's a fair point. I've only been an elftoolchain committer for a few days, so I'll defer to the others on this. >>> on Linux, the instructions are wrong: just using pmake will not work, >>> you must invoke it as follows: >>> >>> $ NOGCCERROR=1 pmake >> >> What errors do you see if you do not? > > Some warning that turns into a build error; I can't recall as it has > been a while.

As far as I can tell this flag fixes the build by disabling -Werror. We should probably do two things here: fix the warnings that were promoted into errors, and also only enable -Werror on the platforms normally used by developers (i.e., in my case FreeBSD and Clang). > Again, I have not tried it for a while, so I no longer recall exactly, > but I tried using -I and -L in the obvious ways and some of your > internal includes didn't find each other.

Ok - I don't see these errors, so I won't be able to make any progress without details about what's failing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
