[comp.windows.x] Question on Openwin --> GNU C compatibility

hista@jetson.uh.edu (12/22/90)

Hello netters,

I am having some rather crazy problems with my recently installed GNU C
compiler on the Sun4 platform.  The installation and everything seems to have 
gone fine and the compiler works with regular ansi files like a charm.

But, when it comes down to files with inbuilt headers calling the xview
libraries, it messes up like mad.  The compilation throws out some warnings
and errors in linking.  After discussion with some of the other local hackers,
I have come to the conclusion that maybe the openwindows platform, i.e. header
files are not exactly ANSI-compatable.

I am sure there must be plenty of you out there who must be using GNU C
and its reputed ansi facilities in conjunction with the Xview libraries. I
would appreciate any suggestions to improve my situation.  Thanks in advance.
