If NeedFunctionPrototypes is not set, then
  dvi-draw.c has void set_char (cmd, ch) wide_ubyte cmd; wide_ubyte ch; { ... }
  xdvi.h has void set_char ();

If NeedFunctionPrototypes is set, then
  dvi-draw.c has void set_char (wide_ubyte cmd, wide_ubyte ch) { ... }
  xdvi.h has void set_char (wide_ubyte, wide_ubyte);

Can you please check if adding
  -DNeedFunctionPrototypes
fixes your problem?

a problem compiling on Solaris/SPARC 7, gcc 3.1

[Boris Aronov]

Trying to compile on Solaris/SPARC 7, under gcc-3.1,
in xdvik get:

etc and compile fails...

I took an (extremely brief) look at the stuff and it appears that
dvi-draw seems to try declaring a function of typedef set_char with
four parameter, whule set_char has been typedef'ed to have two
parameters...  Sigh...

Any comments?  What am I doing wrong?  Should not be using gcc 3.1 at all?

Is any more data needed to identify a problem?
