The only workaround I know of is to build GNU cpp and use it. (Fortunately, GNU cpp will compile with the A/UX preprocessor; some of the rest of GCC won't!). I think you should be able to get the GNU preprocessor working by using the config files for a 3b1 and hacking it slightly--the differences between a Mac II and a 3b1 aren't in anything that affects the preprocessor. I've got the GNU cpp working (as far as I know...), but can't yet post it because I don't have a working connection between my Mac and my modem (the A/UX manuals list 3 possible cable configurations, none of which agree with each other or with the cable I got from Jameco. Sheesh...) -- Richard Todd Fido:1:147/1 USSnail:820 Annie Court,Norman OK 73069 Try one of these: rmtodd@chinet.chi.il.us, rmtodd@killer.dallas.tx.us, rmtodd@uokmax.ecn.uoknor.edu or ...!sun!texsun!uokmax!rmtodd.

Has anyone else >>had this problem? Do you know of a work around? I know the source for X11r3 comes with a cpp that must be built for X11r3 to compile properly.
