We have been using PATCH here at BNL for quite a while with great success. Today, I attempted to apply patch #10 and failed. Our system is Ultrix2.0 running on a VAX 11/780. After unsharing the patch and running Config, 'make' barfed. #<8> make cc -c -O patch.c "./common.h", line 154: redeclaration of sprintf "patch.c", line 291: warning: illegal combination of pointer and integer, op = *** Error code 1 Stop. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lines 151-155 of common.h look like: #ifdef CHARSPRINTF char *sprintf(); #else int *sprintf(); #endif Config said "Your sprintf() returns (char*)", so why did common.h try to redefine sprintf at line 154? Hmmmm...config.h.SH has the following: /* CHARSPRINTF: * This symbol is defined if this system declares "char *sprintf()" in * stdio.h. The trend seems to be to declare it as "int sprintf()". It * is up to the package author to declare sprintf correctly based on the * symbol. */ #$d_charsprf CHARSPRINTF /**/ The offending line in patch.c is: char *s = rindex(rejname,'/'); Does anyone have any ideas as to why Make is barfing? Any help will be much appreciated. -- INTERNET: abrams@bnlux0.bnl.gov BITNET: abrams@bnlux0.BITNET UUCP: ...philabs!sbcs!bnlux0!abrams

I had the same trouble, until I noticed that I had an old config.h lying around. Config doesn't rebuild it from config.h.SH (since its not in the MANIFEST file) if there is already one there. Try removing the old one, then Config, then make. It worked for me. Scott Sutherland scott@bu-ma.bu.edu Boston University Math Department

Patch 11 is considered a part of patch 10. Both should be installed
and Configure re-run before you try building.
