All of these errors are "the same" and stem from the fact that your
version of cnet, v2.0.9 I think, was built before the latest versions of
gcc (in FreeBSD and Fedora, among others) became more aggressive about
parameter type checking.
Two simple changes are necessary:
In the cnet header file, cnet.h, change to:
extern void CNET_exit(const char *filenm, const char *function, int lineno);
and in src/exit.c change to:
void CNET_exit(const char *filenm, const char *function, int lineno)
{
....
}
I've made these and a few other (overdue) changes in the distribution,
now v2.0.10, available from from:
http://www.csse.uwa.edu.au/cnet/index.html
Please feel free to distribute this email as widely as you need.
Comments and more bug reports welcome.
