Well shucks  , I am still getting compiler errors (after fixing all previous 
mistakes)  

The IBM compiler never lies  ( we always use the IBM compiler as our final line 
of defense ) because it is the ultimate most absolutely strictest compiler 
Which absolutely enforces STANDARDS dotting every T and crossing every I

Hmmm  ,

I see, I missed this !!

  if test "$zOSUnix" = "yes"; then
    CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -W c,dll"
    LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS -W l,dll"
    X_EXTRA_LIBS="$X_EXTRA_LIBS -lSM -lICE -lXmu"
  fi

So again ,  please wait while I re-check   

I suppose the correct solution would be to use SED  to re-insert the required 
"escapes"  before the makfile is written

Subject: RE: configure script patches for IBM z/OS Build

OK,   thanks   

I will try my best 

I am new at this  (so please be patient )

These patches address three issues

The first change fixes the configure process

1) The configure script does not detect missing H files, I added the following 
option to fix this { haltonmsg(3296) }
2) The z/OS compiler use "()" for some compiler options.  Normally in an open 
command-line or in an open-makefile 
     The "()" must be "escaped"  , but configure uses { eval } therefore the 
escapes are not needed and do not work .
     This value { float\\(IEEE\\) }  produces a compiler warning error  
"invalid option float\ ".  I found this by examining the configure.log
     Therefore I changed it to  ",float(ieee),"  

Since the above options will only work correctly in the configure script the 
CFLAGS must be RESET  to values that Will work in the makefile so the last 
change sets the options that are to be used in the makefile

CFLAGS="-D_ALL_SOURCE -Wc,float\(ieee\)"

IBM has recently added a new compiler interface which is UNIX friendly  (the 
new -q options syntax)  but that may not Be backwards compatible 

But ,  Now after doing further research I have discovered that ( I need to use 
a completely different set of options )  and for sure these Options are not 
compatible with  older systems  ( how old or how far back should be supported 
is the current question I need to resolve )

Here is an excerpt  from  a motif sample makefile >>

So I need to use  >>

CFLAGS        = -D_ALL_SOURCE -Wc,dll,XPLINK,FLOAT\(IEEE\)       
LFLAGS        = -Wl,dll,XPLINK                                   

So please hold off  on these patches until I have time to do some more research

Can you please make context diffs, so that we can see exactly what changes?  
And please attach the diff, if you put it as the main text lines get wrapped.

It is also nice if you can give a short explanation what the patch fixes, 
otherwise we have to guess.
