RE: Error in libfetish.a

[John D. Ballentine III]

OK, I tried again from a fresh unpack of the tar file.

And, as suggested before, the HP make failed with yet another interesting
series of messages:

  -g -O2 -c `test -f 'human.c' || echo './'`human.c
human.c: In function `adjust_value':
human.c:111: parse error before `l'
human.c:114: `u' undeclared (first use this function)
human.c:114: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
human.c:114: for each function it appears in.)
human.c: At top level:
human.c:117: parse error before `return'
*** Error exit code 1

Stop.

So, I am trying to get the GNU make and use that...  This is an interesting
experience, but starting to get a little annoying.  I appreciate the offer
of a pre-compiled binary, but now I am getting stubborn enough to want to do
this myself... :)

(Of course, the web site directory is down right now.)


OK, got "make", made it without any hassle.  Question:  Where should it
live?  I have just tried running it from my home directory (on the coreutils
package) and got the following error:

gcc -DLIBDIR=\"/usr/local/lib\" -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I.. -I.    -g
-O2
-c `test -f 'human.c' || echo './'`human.c
human.c: In function `adjust_value':
human.c:111: parse error before `l'
human.c:114: `u' undeclared (first use this function)
human.c:114: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
human.c:114: for each function it appears in.)
human.c: At top level:
human.c:117: parse error before `return'
make[3]: *** [human.o] Error 1

And, of course, tail still won't compile... :)
