I have been trying to install DVIPS on our VAXcluster and have run
into trouble compiling some of the sources. DVIPS 5.37 and above
come with rudimentary installation instructions and a MAKE.COM which
I am using. The trouble is I get several modules with warnings during
compilation (installation instructions warn of one only in DOSPECIAL.C)
and one module - OUTPUT.C fails completely. For those with the code
I get the message
(void)putc('\n', bitfile) ;
%CC-W-TOOMANYMACARGS, Argument list for macro "putc" contains
too many arguments; excess arguments ignored.
At line number 86 in SCRATCH:[TAS.DVIPS.VMS]OUTPUT.C;1
(void)putc('\n',bitfile) ;
%CC-E-SYNTAXERROR, Found ";" when expecting
one of { declaration expression }.
At line number 86 in SCRATCH:[TAS.DVIPS.VMS]OUTPUT.C;1
The warning is common in this and other modules, and the error is what
causes compilation of OUTPUT to fail (there are 3 such errors in it).
Has anyone out there succeeded in getting DVIPS to run under VMS and,
if so, can you shed any light on my problem?
