[ announces patchlevel 9 real soon ]
Well, I guess I won't finish getting PL8 to work.
The problem I'm having is that I get cpp errors, complaining about
"too much defining". I'm running on an AT&T 3B2, so I'm using
short int for schar, uchar, and xchar, and I've got STUPID_CPP
definined. I've also tried -DDUMB in the Makefile, but it didn't help.
I remember having this problem with Patchlevel 7 aso - there were a
couple of #include files that I was able to get rid of by extracting
the couple of useful definitions from them, but it was a real pain.
Has anyone else encountered this problem?

Stuff removed included MAIL and MAILREADER and the option for smaller screens. Just keep ripping out stuff like that 'till it gets past cpp. It doesn't take a much at all. -- brad@slammer.UUCP (Brad Isley) +1 404 841-4169 Work +1 404 925-9663 Home

[discussion of preprocessor on 3b1 barfing on nethack] In the programs that wouldn't compile, there was often a system include file that was brought in for very little reason. For instance, one had a #include <ctype.h>, just so that the one call to toupper() would work...or was it isupper()...anyway I just made my own macro and removed the system include. David
