Ah, you did a 'make clean' BEFORE building everything? Okay, that makes sense; our 'clean' target removes sbr/dtimep.c. The comment in the Makefile.am says: ## automake 1.12.6 on FreeBSD 9 needs the sbr/dtimep.c. That was added by David Levine so 'make distcheck' succeeded. Normally we don't expect anyone to run a 'make clean' after running configure (I'm trying to figure out why you would want to do that). However ... the resulting problem is not, I believe, our fault. If you do a 'make clean' or otherwise remove sbr/dtimep.c, it is generated by lex or flex (probably flex) that is shipped on _your_ system. In your case, the resulting output was not able to be compiled by the compiler that exists on your system. I don't really see how we could be expected to fix that, nor do I even know how we COULD fix that. Personally I think it's rather unfriendly for a tool like lex/flex to generate C99 comments, but clearly they didn't ask me. --Ken _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
