Re: [Gcl-devel] Build failure with --enable-ansi

[Camm Maguire]

Greetings!

OK, for some reason the NEED_CONST test in configure failed.  If you
have an old binutils installed (like on some redhat boxes), CONST
needs to be defined.  configure was supposed to detect this and do so
if necessary.  Please post the configure output, and the config.log.
In any case, you can simply change the /* #undef NEED_CONST */ to
#define NEED_CONST 1 in h/gclincl.h and proceed.
