[comp.os.minix] Upgrading from 1.3 to 1.4a and having CC puke on CONST

LANCER%GACVAX1.BITNET@cunyvm.cuny.edu (Lance A. Brown) (09/18/89)

Hi all,

        I am currently upgrading from the stadnard PH distribution of MINIX 1.3
to 1.4a and am having problem compiling som eof hte new library routines.

        Specifically the compiler is CRASHing out on the keyword CONST.  I
gather that the 1.3 cc doesn't support this feature.  What do I need to do
or get in order to compile these routines without hacking each files
seperately.

Thanks,


Lance A. Brown

It shouldn't crash.  Hmm.  In any case, try cc -DCONST= -DVOIDSTAR=(char*) f.c
