[comp.os.minix] 1.4a lib source files - not compiling

michaelb@vms.macc.wisc.edu (Michael Bloxham) (10/10/89)

I am having a lot of problems compiling the lib files in the 1.4a postings.
Some of these files are closedir.c bcmp.c bcopy.c index.c rindex.c.....
Most of these files have lines such as:

bcopy(src, dst, length)
CONST char *src;
char *dst;
int length;
{
   	extern VOIDSTAR memcpy();

	(void) memcpy((VOIDSTAR)dst, (CONST VOIDSTAR)src, (SIZET)length);
}

ERRORS INCLUDE:
	non-empty formal parameter pack
	illegal initalization of function
        (warning) old fasioned initalization, insert =
       	CONST undefined
	CRASH check-ival

This is a very typical error for about 23 files that will not compile.
Since there are no include files, what is wrong with these files?
ANY suggestions?

This site didn't receive any 1.4a postings!

Could someone please mail them to me?

Thanks,
