When 'make' hits the line 'cc -c -O -I. mthreads.c', it gets: >"./mthreads.h", line 61: syntax error (ignore the -I., its for a workaround due to some missing routines) Line 61 of mthreads.h is: >void dont_read_data(int); The call to dont_read_data() in mthreads.c is: >dont_read_data( data_file_open ); data_file_open is defined as a char earlier in mthreads.c. In mt_read.c, the parameter for dont_read_data is defined to be an int. I'm not sure what to change, since C isn't my 'strong' language. Any suggestions ? Has this happened to anyone else ? Our environment: NCR Tower 700, System V C-News Trn 1.0.2 (patch just applied) A couple of missing routines mthreads needs borrowed from C-news.

All you have to do is wrap the "(int)" with the ANSI() macro at line
61 in mthreads.h. An apparent oversight by someone using an ANSI
compiler.

There is no need to be concerned over the apparently-char argument in the function call, since it is promoted to int. My guess is that your compiler does not support prototypes, and thus the appropriate declaration in mthreads.h should have been void dont_read_data(); Without looking at the code I have no idea why prototypes were being used.

I had the same problem, and it is due to an oversight in the declaration. It shoudl have read: void dont_read_data ANSI((int)) ANSI is a macro which either includes or omits the prototypes (compare the other declarations around the same area). -- Tony Mountifield. | Microware Systems (UK) Ltd.
