Has anyone successfully made the revised version of cppmake for 1.5.10 which Earl Chew released to the net on Nov 15th? I've unpacked it, and all of the files seem to be ok, but when I do either a "make -f makefile.min all" under regular Minix 1.5.10 or a "make -f makefile.bcc all" under Minix-386, I get the same error, which is: cppmake.c:" 1151.27 (macro level 1): x undeclared make: Error code 256 -- John W.

I don't remember the exact details right now and my Minix system is at home, but if you grep to see which file defines the macro used in the line 1151 you'll instantly see that there is an 'x' where there should be an 's'. It took me ages to find this, mainly because Minix is now so robust that I don't expect to find this kind of problem. Cheers, Andrew

The problem seems to be that your cpp gives up collecting macro arguments at \n just after "PROCESS *, p,". The reason the code is written this way is to allow ANSI-style argument declarations while allowing compilation under old-style compilers, and also using varargs.h *or* stdarg.h. The strange parenthesis nesting allows me to still use '%' in vi to match parentheses. Try running cpp only on the file to see whether it's because your cpp gives up the the \n. I have compiled this successfully using ack, bcc, gcc, Pyramid cc and Sun cc.
