[comp.soft-sys.andrew] Problem building "suite" on RT

rdew@alw.nih.gov (Bob Dew) (10/02/90)

     We're building andrew, patch level 7, on an IBM RT
running the UNIX 4.3 BSD operating system.  The build
crashes when attempting to make atk/apt/suite/suiteta:

hc -c -I.   -I/usr/andrew/include/atk -I/usr/andrew/include -I//usr/include/X11
  suiteta.c

E "suiteta.c",L48/C19:   Must be a compile- or load-time computable expression.
E "suiteta.c",L58/C19:   Must be a compile- or load-time computable expression.
E "suiteta.c",L69/C19:   Must be a compile- or load-time computable expression.
. 
.
.

     Could anybody help with this problem?

     Thank you,

This is an old version of hc.  There is a newer version which does not
exhibit this problem.  Susan Straub here at the ITC is dealing with this
very problem and may be able to give you the information that you need.

We had the same problem when using hc1.4r as it came off the Dec. 88 AOS
tape.  We installed hc2.1y, the most current release, and things
compiled fine.
