First, I would like to thank all those who answered previous questions.
Now the latest iteration:
We are running Ultrix 4.1 on a DECsystem 5000 (RISC machine) and are
trying to build Nntp.1.5.11 on it. Since Ultrix 4.1 is a BSD 4.3
derivative, and since it supports ndbm, the following lines are in
common/conf.h:
|#undef BSD_42 /* 4.2 compatability code -- if this is defined, */
| /* DBM probably wants to be defined as well. */
|
|#define BSD_43 /* Define if you are running on BSD 4.3 */
|
|#define NDBM /* Use new-style (4.3) ndbm(3x) libraries */
|
|#undef DBM /* True if we want to use the old dbm(3x) libraries */
|
However, we run into this problem, which kills the build:
|
|cd xfer; make "LIBS=-ldbm" "CFLAGS=-O -I/usr/lib/dbz.o "
|cc -O -I/usr/lib/dbz.o -c nntpxfer.c
|ccom: Error: /usr/include/ndbm.h, line 70: syntax error
| } datum;
| ------^
|*** Error code 1
|
|Stop.
|*** Error code 1
|
|Stop.
|
This is /usr/include/ndbm.h. The typedef ending on line 70 in the
original (comment lines have been removed) looks fine (see datum below).
Any idea why this failed, or how to fix it? All help is appreciated.
