[comp.windows.x] Building the Toolkit with GNU gcc 1.30

earle@mahendo.Jpl.Nasa.Gov (Greg Earle) (11/11/88)

If anyone has built R3 with gcc 1.30, please get in touch with me.

I'm having the following problem:

Most of the contents of lib/Xt/fd.h are replicated (on SunOS 4.0, anyway) in
the Sun /usr/include/sys/types.h file.  In fact, I found something which might
be important for Sun386i users; here's the only differences in the two files:

fd.h:

#ifndef __fd_set
#define __fd_set
#ifndef NBBY
#define NBBY    8               /* number of bits in a byte */
#endif

Sun <sys/types.h>:

#define NBBY    8               /* number of bits in a byte */

fd.h:

typedef long fd_mask;
#define NFDBITS (sizeof(fd_mask) * NBBY)        /* bits per mask */
#ifndef howmany
#define howmany(x, y)   (((x)+((y)-1))/(y))
#endif

Sun <sys/types.h>:

typedef long    fd_mask;
#define NFDBITS (sizeof(fd_mask) * NBBY)        /* bits per mask */
#ifndef howmany
#ifdef sun386
#define howmany(x, y)   ((((u_int)(x))+(((u_int)(y))-1))/((u_int)(y)))
#else
#define howmany(x, y)   (((x)+((y)-1))/(y))
#endif
#endif

I am using gcc 1.30 for CC with options -traditional -fcombine-regs 
-fstrength-reduce -fwritable-strings -W -m68020.

If I leave `#include "fd.h"' in InitialI.h gcc complains about the
redefinition of `fd_set', whereas `cc' does not.  This causes errors in
the make (particularly for nooptTMparse.c).

If I comment out the `#include "fd.h"', it causes gcc to get a parse error
further down in InitialI.h when processing 

	typedef struct 
	{
		Fd_set rmask;
		Fd_set wmask;
		Fd_set emask;
	int     nfds;
	int     count;
	} FdStruct;

I've been able to (with slight modifications) apply the Purdue speedups to
the server, and am working on the Donahue patches (albeit more non-trivial
to do).  I'm really looking forward to being able to compile everything with
gcc, but I'm not sure what to do about this situation.

Any pointers and suggestions welcome ... (Spaf, are you out there?)
