[comp.sys.hp] gcc, elm, rn :compiling software

mikes@ncsuvx.ncsu.edu (Michael Steele) (07/14/89)

	I am trying to compile GNU C and elm on an HP 9000/360 under 6.5 of
HP-UX.  In gcc I get errors in the rtl.h file included in the toplev.c file.
I have heard of people compiling gcc without any problems.  It is version 1.35 
of gcc and I got it from the MIT machine and as far as I can tell I did all
of the configurations properly.  Any help would be appreciated.

	With elm I had no problems with the compile and it works correctly
on my workstation, but I need for it to work accross the network. I was
wondering if anyone has had experience in configuring this application to
run on a network (150 machines).

	With rn I haven't started yet, but thought I would garnish some
information first.  I need a program that will allow users on the network to
read news and information stored on one fileserver without haveing to mount
that fileserver to all of the workstations.  Will remote news handle this or
should I use another application?

Anyone who has any input on these questions can reply to me directly or post
a message here.  Thanks in advance!!

Most likely the problem is that <sys/param.h> defines "FLOAT" and rtl.def uses
"FLOAT" as the names of an enum.  A workaround is to #undef FLOAT after the
include of <sys/param.h>.
