Can somebody help please.
In trying to compile dragon i've come to a problem. When linking I get an
error saying that `initstate' is an undefined external. This statement
only occurs in board.c as follows :-
/*--Set up the random number generator. */
{ extern char *initstate();
static char data[32];
#if 0
(void)initstate( (unsigned)time((long*)0), &data[0], sizeof(data) );
#endif
(void)initstate( 123456, &data[0], sizeof(data) );
}
Not actually being fluent in `C' i'm not entirely sure, but shouldn't there
be another procedure defining initstate. If so where is it because I haven't
got it.
Thanks in advance.
