[comp.unix.ultrix] Kermit on a DECstation 3100

kerm@mcnc.org (Cary E. Burnette) (10/20/90)

Hello:

I just down-loaded the kermit distribution from Columbia
to compile on my DECstation. I was able to compile the
package without any changes, but received a few warnings.
The software seems to run fine, but I was wondering if
the warnings shown in the following log-file are going
to cause me any problems in the future? If they are, 
does anyone know of a patch to fix the problems. The Make
log-file is as follows:


make wermit "CFLAGS= -DBSD4 -DDEBUG -DTLOG"

cc -DBSD4 -DDEBUG -DTLOG -c ckucmd.c

Thanks for any assistance

Don't worry about them.  It's difficult to get pointer type coercion
between signals and constants right, and it usually doens't seem to
matter anyhow...
