A compilation of Andrew on a VaxStation running Ultrix 3.0, patch level 7 from Emsworth, mostly default configuration, went without any error messages; However, I did got the following warning messages: WARNING:bufferlist.ch: - long class names should use name keys "framecmd.c", line 87: warning: illegal pointer combination "framecmd.c", line 88: warning: illegal pointer combination "compchar.c", line 382: warning: illegal pointer combination "compchar.c", line 385: warning: illegal pointer combination "zipobj.c", line 181: warning: enumeration type clash, operator RETURN "zipocapt.c", line 134: warning: enumeration type clash, operator = "zipofcap.c", line 168: warning: enumeration type clash, operator = "eval.c", line 142: warning: illegal pointer combination Also, the message '*.ch: No such file or directory' (without any further comment) appeared numerous times, and so did '*.c: No such file or directory' (the latter was less frequent. In a first attempt, 'vui' and messages' seem to be running o.k. WHAT DO I DO about these warnings? + - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - + | Rudolf W.

Excerpts from internet.info-andrew: 5-Nov-90 Compilation Warnings Rudolf Nottrott@lternet.
