I've seen messages on comp.unix.aix from People saying they had no
problems compiling Elm on the RS/6000. Yet, I had to comment out all
declarations of string functions (e.g. strcpy, strchr, etc.), or else
the compiler would generate the error:
1506-041: (S) Parameter list cannot contain fewer parameters than
required by macro definition.
I was building Elm 2.3 PL11. Am I doing anything wrong?

You'll notice that strcpy and strcmp are defined as macros in /usr/include/string.h, so you'll have to either can the redeclaration or use -U__STR__ as a compiler undefine. Then again bsdcc would have taken care of this for you. Another hint make sure that libcurses.a is the only display library linked in... -- +-----All Views Expressed Are My Own And Are Not Necessarily Shared By------+ +------------------------------My Employer----------------------------------+ + Ronald S.

Am I doing anything wrong? Compile using the following flags: -D_NO_PROTO -D_NONSTD_TYPES -U_ANSI_C_SOURCE -U__STR__ thats works for PL10, no code modifications are necessary. The -U__STR__ is the improtant one for the string(3) declarations. -- Mark Dapoz home: mdapoz%hybrid@cs.toronto.edu work: md@toronto.ibm.com or mdapoz@torvm3.vnet.ibm.com Finger and toes, finger and toes, forty things we share, forty one if you include the fact that we don't care. - The Tragically Hip

Ah yes, definitely a FAQ here. I had the same problems till some kind sole told me how to do it. You need to use the compiler swtich -U__STR__ The problem you're running into is that by default, all string functions are inline. You can't declare an inline function extern. Once you link, you'll also run into problems. you need to link with -lcurses to get things to work properly. -- ################# National Nude Weekend, 13 & 14 July ################# # CompuServe: >INTERNET:uunet.UU.NET!ki.com!dwatts Dan Watts # # UUCP : ...!{uunet | wgc386}!ki.com!dwatts Ki Research, Inc. # ################ New Dimensions In Network Connectivity ###############

To make elm on the RS/6000 I'd also suggest you put #include <sys/ioctl.h> at the top of src/curses.c. This helps elm figure out the number of lines and columns on your terminal. >> Yet, I had to comment out all >>declarations of string functions (e.g. strcpy, strchr, etc.), or else >>the compiler would generate the error: > >If you had used the bsdcc from the bsdport document in /usr/lpp/bos, >you wouldn't have had to go through this. Well, bsdcc does help in this regard but it can also hurt you. It turns off little things like function prototypes in system include files: % bsdcc -c t.c % cc -c t.c 6 | fprintf ("hello\n"); ......................a. a - 1506-098: (E) Missing argument(s). % I think finding bugs like that justifies the extra work on net.programs (let alone my own stuff (bsdcc is even worse when I'm writing something new.)) (Though the real fix to this particular strcpy problem would probably be to change the compiler to use #pragma hey_compiler_this_is_the_string_copy_function (strcpy) instead of #define strcpy(s1,s2) __inlined_strcpy((s1),(s2)) ) ++sja
