The advertisingdept is compiling now?? ack!

You can usually just get rid of the malloc.h include. It is obsolete. The <sys/malloc.h> header is for kernel development only. > >Problem 2) semi-solved >compile error >stream.h:30: header file 'openssl/ssl.h' not found > >Since openssl is required to compile, I install fink's openssl. >The file still won't compile because it is expecting the file in a >different location. > >I cheat again and make a symbolic link to the Fink location for openssl > #ln -s /sw/include/openssl /usr/include/openssl This is also wrong, bad. :) Usually you set your CFLAGS to be -I/sw/include to get the proper include directory in there, like: setenv CFLAGS -I/sw/include ./configure --prefix=/sw make should (usually!) do the trick. > > >Problem 3) >compile error >cc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -DSYSCONFDIR=\"/sw/etc\" -g -O2 -c >buffer.c -Wp,-MD,.deps/buffer.TPlo -fno-common -DPIC -o .libs/buffer.lo >/usr/include/curses.h:107: illegal external declaration, missing `;' >after `*' >cpp-precomp: warning: errors during smart preprocessing, retrying in >basic mode >In file included from tn5250-private.h:93, > from buffer.c:22: >/usr/include/curses.h:107: parse error before `0x13' >make[2]: *** [buffer.lo] Error 1 >make[1]: *** [all] Error 2 >make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 When you get "cpp-precomp" warnings, you can usually get rid of them by adding -no-cpp-precomp to your CFLAGS. So your CFLAGS now should be: setenv CFLAGS "-I/sw/include -no-cpp-precomp" You should probably take the time to learn about how all this works, by reading the autobook at http://sources.redhat.com/autobook/ . A newbie should be able to understand enough of it to be dangerous, if not all of it. :) good luck, -Ben -- http://homepage.mac.com/bhines/ _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas -- http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
