[news.software.b] Can't compile 2.11 news

kimi@ablnc.ATT.COM (Kimiye) (07/07/89)

I am trying to compile news software 2.11 (no fixes) on a 3B2/310 with
System V, Rel. 3.2 and C Language Issue 4.2.  I get the following
errors.  I know very little about C (took a class four years ago).  Help?

virtterm.c: 983: extra tokens (ignored) after directive
"virtterm.c", line 831: unknown size
"virtterm.c", line 836: ws_row undefined
"virtterm.c", line 836: member of structure or union required
"virtterm.c", line 837: ws_col undefined
"virtterm.c", line 837: member of structure or union required
"virtterm.c", line 955: unknown size
"virtterm.c", line 960: ws_row undefined
"virtterm.c", line 960: member of structure or union required
"virtterm.c", line 961: ws_col undefined
"virtterm.c", line 961: member of structure or union required
*** Error code 1
Stop.

Do I need this module of vnews at all if I plan to compile rn later?
Where can I get the fixes to 2.11?  I have only uucp (no ftp) and
keep failing at attempts to request newer source from places like utzoo.
Should I give it up and try to get the Cnews code?
